“The place where Sri Mahishasura Mardini Stotram is sung every day, I will always be present and never leave.”
– The Devi’s proclamation in the 12th chapter of the Devi Mahatmyam.

The Mahishasura Mardini Stotram also known popularly as Aigiri Nandini, holds immense significance during Navratri. The word Mahisha means buffalo and Asura means Rakshasa or Demon. Composed by the great sage Adi Shankaracharya around 810 AD, this stotram is based on the Devi Mahatmyam and extols the different powers (shaktis) of the Devi. The Devi takes different forms of Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati and destroys the demons – Madhu and Kaitabha, Mahishasura, and Sumbha and Nisumbha.

Mahishasura Mardini Stotram is said to bring peace to the devotee and removes all fear and sadness. It drives away negative emotions like doubt, anger, ego and inertia. This stotram also removes obstacles from the path of the believer. One can listen to Ayigiri Nandini (click the audio link above) however reciting the chants are considered to be more powerful.
