Why is the united struggle important ?
Wh it is imperative to harness others’ potentialities too to defeat the enemy .

We have read in mythology that Goddess Durga killed the demon king Mahishasura, for which she is known as Mahishasurmardini. She rides a lion and is depicted with four hands that carry a lotus flower and sword on the left side and Abhaya and Varada Mudras on the right.

The mighty demon was rendered more powerful as a result of a boon from Bramha. He was told that he could be killed by a woman only. He
wreaked havoc in heaven by chasing away all Gods from there. All the Gods then approached lord Vishnu and lord Shiva who were aware that only a woman could kill Mahishasura.

They decided to create a Goddess out of the collective powers or 'Tejyas' all the God's and so was born a Goddess who combined in herself all that was mighty and powerful in each God. She was armed by a trident from Shiva, Chakra from Vishnu, a Lion from the Himalayas and bows and arrows from Vayu. The Goddess filled with combined power and anger of all the Gods was fierce to behold and her very sight scared the demons.

  It means, you can defeat the enemy if you are united and utilise the strength of others. Individually, one cannot defeat or push back any evil force. Others' potentialities should be harnessed. Further, what a man cannot do, an woman can do too.
