Invoking Global-Divine-Feminine: Navratri

[Guest guest]

Arrival of Divine Redeemer Shakti ...

 

The Nine Nights of the Divine Mother Approaches! 

Well in four days Goddess Sri Durga Devi Maa will come to Earth for

the nine day celebration of Shakti (feminine universal consciousness

responsible for all living things). Here she is flanked by her children

Sri Kartikeya, Sri Ganesha, Sri Sarasvati Maa, and Sri Lakshmi Maa.

She has defeated already all of our inner demons. She is the remover

of all conflict. She bestows spiritual and physical accomplishment,

wealth, and wisdom through her children which are actually emanations

of her! This is a time to realize the Mother of the Universe who is song/shakti

and responsible for EVERYTHING that lives, moves and breathes.

 

 

Durga Navratri is almost here! This is the time during which

millions of people all over the world are actively invoking the

Goddess-Healing through prayer, chanting, ritual, fasting, rejoicing

and meditation. This happens in celebration of the manifestation of the

Divine Shakti of all of the Deities as Ma Durga who overcomes the

forces of ignorance, cruelty and servitude.

 

This year, Durga Navratri occurrs from September 30th through

October 8th. This is an invitation to join together in whatever form of

invocation of the Divine Mother feels appropriate for you. One each of

these nine days and nights, call out to the Living Force that animates

all things, and offer prayers for all of Her children, all sentient

beings. Realize that we are each a global link, a vessel through which

Durga-Ma can act in order to bring the wisdom of all cultures to save

the isolated and oppressed.

 

A special invitation is given to those who may wish to create a work

of art that expresses or transmits this Divine Spirit through any

medium or method. These can become sacred vehicles for conducting the

electrifying presence of the Divine Mother...blessed imagery to

circulate to all the healing discussions, gatherings, and communities

of Mother Earth.

 

The practice of invocation can be as simple as chanting " MA " as

intuitively guided, or as a full-breath tone. Inhaling a silent " OM "

and exhaling the vibration of " MAAAAAAA " . If this is done for a

prolonged period of time (27 breaths? 108 breaths?) the nervous system

can become such a channel for Her energy and Inspiration! This, or any

sincere chant, intoned on each of the Nine Nights can have a profound

effect on our lives and the world. This is especially true if we

dedicate the gathered Shakti to the blessing of all life-systems, to

all of the planetwide children of the Divine Mother.

 

Let us join together at this time of our global dispossession of the

demons of industrial warfare, as we chant the closing of the doors of

the monetary economy of materialism, and sing the universal replanting

of Mother Earth's forests and rainforests. Return life, divine nature,

the garden of Shakti herself.

 

For all our world family. All our ancestors, all our progeny.

 

Om Kali-Durge Namo Namah!Om Jai Ma!
