Who is Maa Katyayani?
Goddess Katyayani is one of the fiercest Goddesses among the Nava Durga’s. She is worshipped in Navratri . She is one of the highly revered forms of Goddess Durga and is known to destroy the evil. According to the iconography, She has four hands and holds a long sword in one of Her hands and a lotus in the other two Hands. With Her fourth hand she blesses Her devotees as Her fourth hand is in Abhaya mudra.
According to the ancient texts, Years ago there lived a sage known as 'Kat' who had named his offspring as 'Katya'. After a period of time Katya’s decendent was born who came to be known as sage 'Katyayan'. Sage Katyayan had no children. He did a lot of penance and worshipped and prayed to the gods to get a kid. During that period, the evil spirit Mahishasura was causing a lot of trouble and created a lot of problems for the gods. His persecution was expanding step by step. The divine beings moved toward Vishnu to looked for an approach to end Mahishasura. At Vishnu's command, Shiva and Brahma went along with him and after that the Trinity (as Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma) transmitted flames. These flares took the form of Goddess Katyayani. It is said that because Goddess Katyayani took birth as the child of Sage Katyayan, She was named as ‘Katyayani’. Goddess Katyayani was born to put an end to the evil spirits and was conceived as a warrior. She had a shining structure with three eyes, eighteen hands and was refulgent as a thousand suns. All the gods gifted goddess Katyayani with weapons to kill the demon Mahishasura. Shiva gave Her a trident, Vishnu gave Her a disk (Sudarshana Chakra), Varuna gave Her a conch shell (shankha), Agni gave a dart, Vayu gave a bow, Surya talented Her a quiver, Indra skilled a jolt, Kubera gave Her a mace, Brahma talented Her a rosary and a water pot, Kala gave Her a sword and a shield and Vishwakarma gave Her a fight hatchet and numerous different weapons. Goddess Katyayani mounts on a lion. Armed with all the equipments, Ma Katyayani continued towards Vindhya Mountains where Mahishasura lived.
Introduction of Mahishasura
There is a fascinating story on the introduction of Mahishasura. His dad Rambha, was the lord of evil spirits (asuras). He once began to look all starry eyed at princess Mahishi, who was reviled to be a water wild ox. Mahisha is the Sanskrit word for wild ox. Mahishsura was conceived out of the association of Rambha and Mahishi. Because of his genealogy, he had the option to change structure between an asura and wild ox.
End of Mahishasura
A fierce fight occurred between Ma Katyayani and Mahishasura. She killed him by beheading him with a sword. The killing of Mahishasura is celebrated and observed as Durga Puja in various parts of our country (India). She is likewise named as Mahishasuramardini, the person who executed Mahishasura.
Legends of Bhagavata Purana

Dear Neeta, Thank you for the mala and the emerald which arrived a few days ago. It all looks very good. Very nice handywork. Also thank you for the cassette. The rendering of the Mrityunjaya mantra is really very wonderful. Sincerely and with the best wishes Ketil Helmersberg
Namaste Sri DharmaDev Arya & Friends, Sisters and Brothers, sorry for long absence and missed you all. Been a busy 3 odd months. Dropping by to say hi to everyone and also to mention that I'd done a 40-day discipline with a Navratna Mala which I got from Rudra Centre India. The results? Absolutely wonderful. For 10 years, everything in my life was blocked and there was no movement. I was neither here nor there. "In limbo" was the best description I could give. Upon 30-odd days of wearing the Navratna mala, everything started happening. All that was stagnant began moving at last. And fast t
Dear Kantiji, I made the head mala with 1 Mukhi in the center and placed the nine, 9 mukhi beads in two pairs on each side of the head with the ninth 9 mukhi at the rear of the mala. I, however felt that I wanted to have the 1 Mukhi Rudraksha with me all the time so it became part of a mala containing 1 through 14 Mukhi including a newly acquired 9 mukhi I asked Ms. Neeta for, plus Ganesha Bead and GauriShankar totaling 28 Rudraksha in total. I tried wearing the nine 9 mukhi as a braclet but found that my activities placed them in harm's way. I was afraid that I would inadvertently hit them on
Hi Neetaji, Dhramadevji I collected my fedex package from the jewel osco near my home. I really appreciate the excellent customer service you have at Rudra Center. I really like my mala (done in silver). My sister's mala looks awesome as well (sphatik + emerald+rudrakhsa). I was really impressed with the packaging that you had done. The bags + the japa mala bag were really great. I have done pooja and have started wearing my mala as well as doing ganesh japa with my custom rosary. pranaam Desikan
Dear Kantiji~ I received the wrist mala and earrings earlier this week and am completely delighted with them both! The energy of both is clearly distinctive and each is unique, fascinating and interesting...Thank you so much for your help! Outstanding work, sister! :-) Blessings to you, Cindy Sulllivan
Dear Ms. Neetaji, Namaste! I received your package today. What a pleasure to receive these fine rudraksha and Mala. Their quality and beauty were just as I had anticipated. I felt their energy and soothing properties during my morning meditation. I have given the 4 mukhi to our daughter. She was thrilled with her gift and we all appreciate your sincere thoughtfulness. Your gifts are also appreciated. I am listening to the Rudraksha Poojan & Dharan, it is very nice. I have placed the picture of Goddess Mahalaxmi along with the lovely Shree Yantra on my altar. Thank you for these lovely gift
Dear All, Good Day. I first purchased a Akarshaya Siddha Mala from RC. Immediately after that I was given the additional responsibility of photographing all my company�s activity. For short it can be called as I became the official photographer of my company. After that I got my bank loan to clear off all my financial issues. I did that. Along with that I went for an Indra Mala. This time after much delay from my side I got the mala which was reserved to me by Neetaji (which was energized on the 9 days of navratri). I started wearing both malas and my spiritual levels are increasing very muc
