In search of Durga: Tantra, Yantra and Ghat.
The present lion-armed Durga idol worshiped in ancient Bengal was not there Then there were no Kartik, Ganesh, Laxmi, Saraswati with Goddess Durga At that time, the puja was done, the goddess was worshipped as Yantra and Ghati and Bhadrakali was worshipped So to recognize the original form of Durga Puja, we have to look at the pot and Yantra now, except for the Parivritta Dasbhuja, and remember that Yantra and Jhatra are the main parts of Durga Puja.
The Durga Puja instrument is called "Sarvatobhadramandala " The basic words of this instrument are Ashtadala lotus and Vithika. The name of the instrument is " Kalpalatika ".
Now, what is the significance of this lotus and the veethika in Tantra? It turns out that the lotus and the veethika are the main subject matter of all Tantra instruments, not just the "Sarvatobhadramandala " In fact, in this Tantra instrument, the lotus or the eightfold lotus is the symbol of the female genitalia. And this lotus is surrounded by the veethika. The Tantric name for the female genitalia is ".
Lata ".
Lata ".
So, the veethika that surrounds the eightfold lotus in the yantra, actually contains the plan to make nature fruitful by the touch of the genital energy of the female organ.
Now, coming to the concept of the pot plan As I said earlier, "Sarvatobhadramandala" means female genitalia And this sarvatobhadramandala is the pot on the machine and the vermilion doll on the pot In fact, it is a complete mimic of human reproductive function In setting up the pot, the touch of female genitalia is an attempt to take the plan of nature to fruition a step further.
And the five grains are thrown into the pure soil, which also includes the practice of growing crops Actually, it is a symbol of sowing crops in the soil So, it turns out, the main parts of Durga Puja are machines and pots This is a primitive belief in the invention phase of agriculture and is the theme of Durga Puja.
Actually, it includes a primitive magic belief The idea of making a symbol of real agricultural practices into a machine and happening in it to make it succeed This is the oldest aspect of Durga Puja.

It was found that the pot and the machine that Durga Puja is made of, is the symbol of female genitalia, which has eight lotuses The lotus is the female genitalia The word "Padmayoni Brahma" is to be mentioned in this context In fact, the whole is a symbol of Urvara Shakti.
Anna, that is food, is the essential element of human survival Hence, the emphasis on producing anna or food has been there since ancient times.

There is a symbolism in tantra called yantra These yantras are of two types - puja yantra and dharana yantra Puja yantra is the yantra that is used to worship the deity to be worshipped It is called puja yantra On the other hand, yantra is the yantra that is used to hold the name of the deity.
Usually, the yantra is the yantra of the deity on the palm leaf According to tantra, some of the Siddha yantras are - Ganesh yantra, Shriram yantra, Nrusingha yantra, Gopal yantra, Krishna yantra, Shiva yantra, Mrityunjay yantra, etc There is a surprising contradiction of the yantra with many other yantras.
Because all the above mentioned deities are male, but their yantras are symbols of female genitalia This is also the concept of productivity.

"Tan" on "Tan" means "Stron" which is "Tantra Tanoti Tanite or Tan Stron Tan means" "to expand " " Tan + oit =" "Tanay" "is a major meaning of propagation Sam + Tan + ghan =" "child " " Monier Williams says that the old manuscripts have a reproductive use of Tantra.
Not only does the literal meaning of Tantra indicate reproduction, but the literal meaning of Tantra is" "to expand" "also indicates food production The secondary meaning of Tantra is weaving, which is an agricultural invention for girls Even today, village girls make" "kitchen gardens" "by planting seeds of various vegetables in their backyards.
This was once a part of human life and a production technique ".

Tantrism, an ancient form of tantraism, involves the use of alcohol and sex Alcohol or wine relieves people of fatigue Once upon a time, the working people of the villages of Bengal used to drink at the end of the work, which was not a fault in their society They asked money and money to go to the shop publicly to drink alcohol.
Thus, alcohol was naturally practiced in tantrism to sustain the labor-intensive agricultural production system.
Fish is also auspicious When the bridegroom visits the bride's house, the bridegroom's entourage has fish It is taken to the bride's house and hung Sex is also a symbol of creation And tantra is the use of these real objects Archaeologist Sir John Marshall reported the discovery of a wonderful seal at Harappa.
On one of the seals is a female figure This woman's legs are moved to the sides and a creeper grows from her womb The seal has something written in six letters, which has not been deciphered.

"Totahhamkhilang lokamatmadhasamudbhavai: Bhavishyami surah: Shakairavishtah: Pranadhakarahana. Shakambhariti prasadhing tada yasamyahanga bhuvi.".

Hence, Durga Puja is naturally associated with crops, especially ripe ones Durga Puja is preceded by the "Bada-Saat" or Bada Shashthi Puja This puja involves the worship of new bamboos, various flowers, especially kya flowers, as well as the buds of new rice According to researcher Ramaprasad Chanda, Durga was originally a grain goddess.
This is why Durga Puja is celebrated during the ripe harvest season, like the grain goddesses of different countries of the world Another major part of Durga Puja is the worship of new newspapers The buds of new leafs are decorated with rambhas, kutchis, haridras, jayanti, bael, pomegranate, ashoka, maan, and rice leaves.
Each of these nine plants is conceived as a goddess The connection of the plant world with the goddess Mahatmya is also evident here.

Shaktas wake up early in the morning and pay obeisance to the Kulvriksha tree, which is also a testimony to the human connection with the plant world.
The form of Durga that we know as Ranchandi Mahishasuramardini is a later addition According to the Krittivasi Ramayana, Ramachandra is praying to Durga for a boon to kill Ravana But this anecdote is not in the original Valmiki Ramayana The original Ramayana has Ramachandra praying to the Sun for a boon to kill Ravana.
This proves that the idea of Ranchandi idol of Durga is a later composition.
