With Gratitude we welcome Navratri- Jai Jai Ambe
Goddess Durga, the female form as the supreme Being- Navratri is a great, nine day hindu Festival in India, in which goddess Durga is worshiped in her nine different manifestation. The word navratri means nine nights in Sanskrit. During these nine nights and ten days of devotion, nine different forms of durga are worshiped. The 10th day is commonly referred to as Viyaja-dashami or Dussehra.
Devi Durga is significance of power and strength, is perhaps the most important goddess of the Hindus. She is a multi-dimensional Goddess, with many names, many personas, and many facets. As Mahishasuramardini or Shakti, she is the destroyer of evil – with her ten mighty arms carrying lethal weapons she triumphantly slays the demon Mahishasura. As Sati, beloved daughter of King Daksha and Queen Menaka she gives up a kingdom and earns her father’s wrath. As Kali, she turns black as the night and omnipotent, terrible in rage and fury, with just a string of skulls as her garland and her only garb. As Parvati, she is serene, the pretty consort of Lord Shiva by his side in the snowy peaks of the Kailash mountain. She is Bhawani, symbol of life. She is Sati, the object of death. She is Basanti, the heralder of springtime. She is also Amba, Jagadhatri, Tara, Ambika, Annapurna.
Durga, through all her forms, encompasses the essence of salvation and sacrifice. She is the mother of bounty and wealth, as also of beauty and knowledge, for her daughters are Lakshmi and Saraswati.
