The beginning of spring and the beginning of autumn are two very important junctions of climatic & solar influence.
These two periods are taken as sacred opportunities for the worship of the Divine Mother.
It represents the celebration of Goddess Durga, the manifestation of Deity in the form of Shakti.
Chaitra Navratri, celebrated in the spring season, is the festival of 9 days dedicated to the 9 forms of Shakti, the Universal mother, an embodiment of power.
According to mythological scripts, Goddess Durga appeared on the day of Chaitra Navratri and created the universe at the request of Lord Brahma.
Thus, we bow to her and seek her blessings.
In celebrating the Divine Feminine, we come to know the True Beauty and the most powerful dimension of life.
Without the feminine energy or “Shakti,” there would be nothing in existence.
If the feminine is lost on the planet, nothing of beauty, nothing of tenderness, nothing of truly aesthetic value will survive.
It is also the period to remember that, “The gist of all worship is to be pure & to do good to others.
He who sees God in the poor, in the weak & in the diseased, really worships.
He, who sees God only in the Image, his worship is but Preliminary.”
Wish you a Happy Navratri,
May the Goddess illuminate your life with countless blessings and fill your life with positivity, strength, wisdom and devotion and may you stay blessed forever.
