This 'Navaratri', Pray to 'Sree Durgadevi' to destroy the Evil !

October 9, 2007

Namaste.

'Navaratri' is the festival of worship of the Goddess Shakti. It s a

period of nine days, when the Goddess fought the

Demon 'Mahishashura' over nine days and nights and destroyed him on

the tenth day. Performing of Garba and the 'Dandiya' are forms of

worship of the Goddess. The Navaratri festival has been celebrated

for thousands of years. Today, like in other Hindu festivals, many

malpractices have crept into this festival, also resulting in public

nuisance. The public nuisance includes forcible collection of

donation, noise pollution, 'Garba' performed to the tune of film

songs, obscene dancing in drunken states with obscene gestures,

significant rise in the number of unmarried mothers after a few

months of Navaratri, all this sounds a death knell for the Hindu

religion and civilization. In order to caution the Hindus about this

danger, and also to protect and maintain the sanctity of Hindu

religion and civilization, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has undertaken

this campaign. Today we are faced with the problems of corruption,

terrorism, naxalism etc., along with increasing anti-Hindu incidents

wherein Hindu temples, Saints, Scriptures are targeted by the

unrighteous (Dharmadrohis) it is high time for Hindus to unite and

fight against these evils. With the grace of Sree Durgadevi, devout

Hindus will succeed. On the eve of 'Navaratri' let us pray to the

Goddess 'Mahishasurmardini' to give us strength to fight against the

evil and protect our Hindu Dharma.

EDITOR: The interesting part is that Lord Rama also worshipped Shakti during

these 9 days before killing RAVANA. It shows how great the Lord is, honoring

Shakti in the way he did. There are numerous Sivalingams built along the coast

of Tamil NAdu where Lord Rama prayed to Shakti and Lord Siva (He built

Sivalingams Himself to worship there)
