NAVRATRI..The auspicious festival is celebrated to worship the nine powerful forms of Goddess Durga.
The nine avatars of Durga are:
1. SHAILPUTRI- The embodiment of the collective power of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. This collective power can really conquer the world.
2. BRAHMCHARINI- She is filled with bliss and happiness. Let us be happy from our inner soul to achieve a blissful life.
3. CHANDRAGHANTA- She represents beauty and grace. She is also regarded as an apostle of bravery and possesses great strength.
Like wise, we too have to be physically and mentally strong to face the challenges of this world with our head held high.
4. KUSHMUNDA- She is considered to be the creator of the universe.
Mother is the creator of the future generation. Let us fullfil our responsibilities with dedication and true commitment.
5. SKAND MATA- She can turn into a storm-cloud when the need arises to protect her child.
Parents are protectors of their children. It is our duty as parents to make our children well aware of the hurdles of life.
6. KATYAYANI- She exhibits immense courage.
Be courageous to fight the battle with the demon inside us.
7. KALRATRI- She has three eyes that shine bright.
As human beings we have only two eyes.Try to open our 'third' eye of awakening which can see the world from a different perspective.
8. MAHAGAURI- She is intelligent, peaceful and calm.
Only a peaceful mind can be a productive mind.
9. SIDDHIDATRI- She possesses supernatural healing powers.
Everyone has hidden supernatural powers, so let us explore ourselves.
Looking at its deeper meaning, we realize that there is another aspect to Navratri.
The meaning of NAV-RATRI can also be understood as NEW-NIGHT.
A new night which fills us with new energy. Just like all the forms of the Goddess who are worshipped and who killed the evil forces to protect the good, we too should pledge to adopt and inculcate good values and ethos in ourselves. Values to stand against the evil and also kill our inner evil forces.
If there is something we could not do in the past, let us try to do it now in the present.
Let us take a vow to change our lethargic lifestyles and shift to a healthy systems of living.
Let us burry our bad habits and start following the good principles in life.
Change should be a part of life. Following the new directions and dictums should be a promise we should surely and unhesitatingly make to ourselves.
LET US RESOLVE TO ASSURE THAT, THIS NAVRATRI OUR LIVES SHALL ALSO TAKE A TURN TO NEW AND BETTER WAYS OF LIVING..
The words and views expressed in my blogs are personal and are my original work of thoughts.
