Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 When the Supreme Being begins to manifest Its Cosmic Energy,It s variously known as Sakti, Devi or Divine Mother, Who assumes many forms according to the task to be preformed by Her.She is know as Durga, lakshmi or Sarawati in her Destructive, protective, and knowledge giving roles respectively.These three aspects of the Divine Mother are worshipped during Devi Navaratri (The Nine Nights). Durgs or the Destructive aspect of the Divine Mother is worshipped during the first three nights. On the succeeding three knights,Her protective aspect of lakshmi and on the last three nights,Her knowkedge aspect or Saraswati are worshiped. The significance of this order is that first Durga destroys all the evil propensities lurking in the minds of Her devotees minds and finally Saraswati bestows true knowledge to Her devotees.The tenth day known as vijaya Dasami, commemorates the victory of knowledge over ignorance of Goodness over evil .On this day,also known as Ayudha pooja,young children are initiated into learning and all devotees re-dedicate themselves to their chosen paths by worshipping the tools(ayudha) of their respective livelihoods. May The Divine Mother bless us all during this most auspicious season. WISH YOU A VERY HAPPPY NAVARATRI Regards Bharathi.A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
