This night we celebrate with color of peace , purity and wisdom . Color of Maa Saraswati's Drape , White and we seek blessings of Maa Durga in all her forms as Saraswati as Mahagauri as Ambaa .
MahaAshtami holds a great significance in every Indian culture which celebrates Durga Parv , and here's a glimpse of Bangali ( mainly) culture and celebration of Maha Ashtaami, which starts from Mahalaya ( one week before Shashthi ) To Shashti .
On the day of Amavasya, the day prior to the first day of Navratri people celebrate this Mahalaya day where people com together and Chant Mahishasura Mardini Stotram. It is believed that Goddess descended on this earth on this auspicious day, known as Chokkhudaan and artisans paint the eyes of the Goddess on this day and bring the idol to the sunlight.

Navratri Mahotsav 2023 Day -7
Naavratri group 2023 is thankful to all of you for your constant support and encouragement for our efforts during this navratri festival too and tonight on seventh day of Navratri Mahotsav we worship Maa Jagdamba as Maa Kaalratri and welcome everyone who celebrate this day as mahasaptami and We welcome maa Saraswati as the goddess of wisdom peace art and knowledge with her utmost protection for our soul and mind and body .
Maa kaalratri is the most fearsome goddess and considered the most firece one in all forms of durga as everyone says but
She is fierce just like a storm or flood when lands get too dirty , nature clears it up . Like a force necessary to awaken the soul within human body . Like a pain required to realise we are not dead , like Medicine or Surgery ; bitter in taste or difficult to survive but required to Live life disease free . Like A death to ego and past to bring regeneration. Like anger to bring calmness when expressed.
Like night necessary to welcome morning, like dark so that we appreciate the light we have . Like Wisdom So to get rid of ignorance.
Like Force of destruction or death required for new birth , and achieving sustainability.
So tonight Along with her shade as Dark as as night we celebrate the festival with color of peace as shades of purple and violet
ॐ देवी कालरात्र्यै नमः॥ ॐ देवी महासरस्वत्यै नमः॥

For every re-incarnation of kaalratri-the most terrorising form of Ma Durga, Raas is the fearless battle-ground where she brings death to the darkness, to the past traumas, and everything that is evil.

Day Six of Navratri
9 days, 9 Godesses
Day Six: Maa Katyayani
Once there lived a sage called Katyayana who prayed to the goddess to be born as his child in order to kill Mahishasura. She agreed and was born as his daughter and thus was called Katyayani. When the gods invoked Mahashakti – the primordial feminine power to protect them from the demon, Mahisha, she emerged from the sacrificial fire of the sage Katyayan. All the male gods bestowed their special powers and weapons on her. She is the avatara of Parvati in the form of the warrior goddess and is one of the most well-known and beloved of her forms.
Riding a lion, she proceeded towards the Vindhya mountains where the demon lived and killed him. Hence, she is also known as Mahishasuramardini.
Jai Maa Durga 🕉️🔱
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.
