Mahabalipuram, Pallava Dynasty,7th Century AD
The force of Shakti can be felt palpably as the figures move from left to right. The Great Goddess has just entered the battlefield. Mahisasur is already on the back foot. But the battle has just begun. He does not lie slaughtered and conquered. He stands heroically and faces his adversary.
The battle between the good and evil is an eternal one. It rages all the time in all of us. We require Shakti to overcome temptations, lust greed and anger. We nees Shakti to overpower our ego. We are all Mahisasurs, our Mind is the seat of Goddess Durga--ready to fight all evil. The Great Mother is within us.
