TIGERS IN INDIAN MYTHOLOGY
Lord DurgaDurga is the supreme Goddess who can bring light to the earth, a force for peace amid the powers of evil. She is the feminine force or Shakti created by the gods to combat the evil male power that had percolated through the world; and from her sprang the Goddess kali to join the fight, and the vehicle for this fight was the Tiger !. Why? Perhaps because tiger and man were deemed to have been born from the same mother, so the Tiger was seen as a man's sibling, but also as the king of the forest, a power on earth that was beyond reach of any mortal. Durga relies on the Tiger to guide her through the million obstacles on the battlefield of her perpetual fight against evil. In addition, the Tiger himself has the strength to attack demons around him. Both Godess and Tiger derive their strength from the earth mother and in combination ( combo ) are the most powerful possible force against evil. Without one or the other, the battle might be lost. The Tiger, as a manifestation of mother earth is the only possible vehicle for Durga. Even today the image of Durga riding her Tiger is plastered across every corner of India.
