The minutest of negative emotions have a butterfly
effect says Baba ji. A folly made by Narad Ji caused Goddess Sita to be a
hostage to Raavan and Kumbhakaran .
Shumbh and Nishumbh were demonic brothers who overpowered the angels and captured the holy trinity of Brahma Vishnu and Mahesh, which led to disturbance in the universe. Therefore, all the angels collectively invoked Goddess Amba who appeared before them to free themselves of the formidable torment of the deadly demons. So, the Goddess took it upon herself to liberate the divinity from the shackles of these devils.
The Goddess chose to tackle the demons in a unique manner. The valiant Devi made the audacious move of approaching the demons in their den.
The devils saw the Goddess and were awestruck by her resplendent beauty. Suddenly, world beaters Shumbh and Nishumbh wondered that they may have conquered the world, they still had to get such a beautiful woman in their grasp.This feeling of discontentment and dissatisfaction experienced by the devils is a personification of the vice of greed inherent in humans.
Baba ji says that one must be satisfied with whatever all one has got, rather than lamenting over what is not his.
Back to the story, Shumbh Nishumbh sent their wedding proposal to the Goddess. She refused, saying she would marry only the one who could defeat her in a duel. This left the two devils infuriated. Shumbh Nishumbh then sent Dhumralochan with his army to politely ask her to accept their marriage proposal, otherwise they would have to drag her with her hair and forcefully presented at the feet of Shumbh & Nishumbh. So despite this warning when the Devi refused to change her stand, the army of devils jumped to attack and overpower the Devi. The Goddess roared her war cry aloud (hummmm) and with the mere cry, destroyed Dhumralochan and his army which proved no match for the powerful Devi.
Next, Shumbh-Nishumbh choose to send another of their formidable demon duos of Chand and Mund to capture the Goddess for them. And when they confronted Devi, they too met the same fate as Dhoomralochan and his army. From the body of the Devi originated another Goddess -- Ma Kali who sliced the heads of Chand and Mund. Eventually, Goddess Kali presented the sliced heads of Chand and Mund to her progenitor - Amba Devi after which the latter christened the former as 'Chamundeshwari'.
