Navratri Blessings on Day 1: Goddess Shailputri

HH Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji guides and blesses us at the beginning of the first day of Navratri about the significance of these nine days and nine nights. He reminds us the days and nights really allude to the light and darkness within us and that the time of Navratri is a time to dispel all darkness within us. He encourages us to take this time to meditate, introspect, reflect on all that keeps us from living in the light, offering and surrendering ourselves fully and completely to the Divine Mother so that she may give us a new birth out of the womb of our darkness and into the light of our true nature.

🕉”बाहर शक्ति का पूजन , और भीतर शक्ति का दर्शन।
नवरात्री का पावन पर्व आत्मनिरीक्षण का पर्व है।
भीतर के अन्धकार को नाश करते हुए प्रकाश की और आगे बढ़ने कि यात्रा है।
आप सभी को नवरात्री की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं।”
