Mahavidya is a collective name for ten major goddesses of the Indian pantheon, all of whom are regarded as aspects of Shakti. ( Dus Mahavidya Yantra give total protection from all types of mishaps, accidents, black magic, and it neutralises bad effects of all nine planets and remove poverty and give an abundance of wealth to the acquirer.) Mahavidya means (Maha – great; Vidya – knowledge) Goddesses of great knowledge. The Ten Mahavidyas are known as Wisdom Goddesses. The spectrum of these ten goddesses covers the whole range of feminine divinity, encompassing horrific goddesses at one end, to the ravishingly beautiful at the other. The Mahavidya are ten particular incarnations of the Divine Mother, in which she represented herself in different yogas and on different occasions before she again became Uma, the wife of Lord Shiva. There are different and highly assorted traits of feminine, beauty, aggression, etc. in all these forms These Ten incarnations or the (ten) Dus Mahavidyas Goddesses are: Kali, Tara, Tripur Sundari, Bhuvaneshvari, Chinnamasta, Tripur Bhairavi, Dhumavati, Bagalamukhi, Matangi, Kamala. Blessings of the Ten Mahavidyas provide bhoga (fulfillment of materialistic desires) and moksha (spiritual liberation). Worship of 10 incarnations (Dashmahavidya) of Divine Mother (Shakti) is extremely popular especially during Navratri. In Hindu mythology, tantras, durgasaptashati, kalika puran, narad panchratra and Markandeya purana there are several popular stories about the origin of Dashmahavidya.
