Ashta Matrika Symbolise the Fight against Eight Evil Qualities of Man

The Ashta Matrika are incarnations of Goddess Shakti that manifested from the male gods to fight Andhakasur, a mighty demon. Hence they are warrior deities having auspicious qualities. They were created to kill Andhaka whose every drop of blood gave birth to a new demon. The eight forms of Mother Shakti or warrior goddesses were created by Lord Shiva to fight demons. They guard the eight cardinal directions of the universe, they protect and defend evil from all sides with great valor and ferocity. They also represent man’s inner evil or negative qualities that need to be rooted out for attaining enlightenment and moksha.

The Ashta Matrika portray an interesting symbolism. Lord Shiva represents vidya or knowledge. The demon Andakasura represents avidya or ignorance. The more vidya becomes powerful avidya also arises and multiplies. This is denoted by the massive increase in the demon and other asuras. The eight evil qualities like lobha (greed), moha (illusion), madha (pride), krodha (anger), paisunya (wicked), matsarya (miserly), kama (lust), and asuya (jealousy) need to be overcome and brought under the control of vidya. Only then Andaka can be defeated and kept under restraint. According to Varaha Purana, the matrikas are atma vidyas battling against Andhakasura, who represents evil or darkness.

The Ashta Matrika Homam fetches Ashta Aishwaryam or eight-fold prosperities of the goddesses. It will be performed on Masik Durgashtami which appears every month during Ashtami Tithi of Shukla paksha or waxing moon. It is very auspicious to observe fast and venerate Mother Shakti and her forms for a variety of blessings.
