Sixth day of Navratri
Maa Katyayani—Slayer of Mahishasur
ऋषि कात्यायन सुता माँ दुर्गा कात्यायनी के नाम से सुप्रसिद्ध हैं। भू लोक को आतंकित करने वाले दुष्ट असुर महिषासुर का वध कर विश्व को भय के चक्रव्यूह से बाहर निकालने वाली माता कात्यायनी फिर महिषासुर मर्दिनी के नाम से सुविख्यात हुई।
कात्यायनी महामाये, महायोगिन्यधीश्वरी।
नन्दगोपसुतं देवी, पति मे कुरु ते नमः।।
Much like Mahishasur, may the Warrior Goddess slay our ignorance and ego. May she bless us with wisdom and valor, so that we can lead the path of dharma with no darkness of terror in our hearts. May she forever shower us with her love and protect us from any evil.
dancing as a form of worship <3

"Krishna’s advice is to be neutral toward all three qualities, neither attached nor detached, accepting goodness, passion and darkness as belonging to the tapestry of life."

Women all around the world have created traditional dishes and dances and sewn the clothing and organized the parties and preserved the photos and created the rituals and practices and customs and decided on the decor and set the trends of their communities and I am very proud to descend from them. Women make the world vibrant and warm. People say, oh but you haven’t invented as many machines and gadgets or you haven’t written as many classic books or you haven’t built the architecture but guess what? I don’t care because I will always take pride in how women have contributed to coloring the world in various unique ways
this post is all about how to process emotions that we are uncomfortable with, safely and positively. Today, I’d like it if you’d try to implement at least one technique today!
Remember that when you feel an emotion, it is your body communicating itself to you. Listen to your emotion, and understand.
All emotions are temporary, and will pass. But some can leave a more long term effect on us.
Having the skill of sitting through uncomfortable emotions calmly, and not let it impact our lives greatly will serve you well.
STOP TECHNIQUE
S- Stop what you’re doing, pause all activities and shut off your brain.
T- Take a few deep breathes, continue until your focus is only on breathing deeply.
O- Observe your thoughts, your body language, any physical sensations and acknowledge them within you.
P- Proceed with any activity that may help you process this emotion. Meditation, journaling, stretching, talking to someone, etc.
ALL TECHNIQUE
A- Acknowledge, accept and alllow what you feel. Identify what emotion you feel, if you can’t, try to associate it with something. Sit in this feeling for awhile and truly accept it within you.
L- Link it to a circumstance or situation that may explain why you’re feeling this way. E.g ‘I feel so irritated lately, it may be because I’ve been eating sugary foods more’
L- Learn what this emotion may be telling you. There’s not much detail on this because only you know what your body needs/wants.
SELF EXPRESSION
Draw, write, compose music on what this feeling looks like, sounds like, maybe even their taste. This really helps go deep in your emotions, analyse it and then hopefully process it.
Day three of Navratri
9 days, 9 Godesses
Day Three: Chandraghanta | चन्द्रघण्टा
Chandraghanta represents Parvati on her wedding day. Parvati was given this title by Mahadeva himself, due to her wish to have Chandra, the Moon God, adorn her forehead, as her Lord was adorned by the crescent moon upon his crown of matted locks, giving rise to his name Chandrashekhara.
Her fierce form is capable of destroying obstacles both on the inner path as well as the outside world. Her devotees easily achieve success in life. She bestows divine vision on them. Sometimes they hear divine fragrances and sounds.
Aum Devi Chandraghantaayai Namaha
ॐ देवी चन्द्रघण्टायै नमः
Jai Maa Durga 🔱
Ninth day of Navratri
Maa Sidhdatri
सृष्टि के निर्माण से पूर्व रुद्र देव ने आदि पराशक्ति मां से प्रार्थना कर सृष्टि की रचना की प्रार्थना की। क्योंकि माता निरंकार थी, वे भोलेनाथ के बाएँ भाग में प्रकट हुईl शिव शंकर को उनका अर्धनारीश्वर स्वरूप यूं प्राप्त हुआ।
Maa Sidhdatri is the primordial Saakaar form of the Divine Feminine. She is dynamic energy as well as the source of every action and reaction.
