The Nine Nights of the Goddess: A Story of Navaratri

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Nine nights. Nine forms of the Mother. One victory that keeps the world safe.

A demon named Mahishasura held a boon that no man and no god could kill him, and the three worlds trembled. So the gods gathered their radiance, and from their light a goddess was born. For nine nights she took a new form each night, and on the tenth day the demon fell.

The Nine Nights of the Goddess retells the story of Sharad Navaratri night by night, through each of the nine goddesses of the Navadurga: Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, Mahagauri and Siddhidatri. Hear the legend behind each form, leading to the great slaying of Mahishasura and the joy of Vijayadashami, the tenth day.

Drawn from the Devi Mahatmya (Durga Saptashati), the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the living folk traditions of India, these retellings are written for the whole family. Along the way, discover how Navaratri is celebrated across the land, from Durga Puja in Bengal to garba and dandiya in Gujarat to the golu dolls of Karnataka. The audiobook closes with simple ways to keep the nine nights at home and a final blessing.

Whether you know her as Durga, Shakti or simply the Mother, these nine nights belong to everyone.
