Countdown to Navaratri - 22 days to go

[Guest guest]

Namaste All

 

In Chapter 5 of the Chandi, we have

 

Ya devi sarva bhuteshu Shraddha rupena samsthita

Namastastyai ! Namastastyai ! Namastastyai Namo Namah !

 

and Swamiji translates

 

To the Divine Goddess who resides in all existence in the form of

Faith, we bow to Her; we bow to Her; we bow to Her, continually we

bow, we bow !

 

Praying for that firm faith to be established inside us this

Navaratri as She works Her Magic on us !

 

Here are some other quotes that I got from my travels on the web. My

thanks to the unknown author who compiled this collection .

=====================================================================

Faith, sympathy, fiery faith, fiery sympathy! Faith, faith, faith in

ourselves, faith, faith in God - this is the secret of greatness

Swami Vivekananda

 

 

He will not enter hell, who has faith equal to a single grain of

mustard seed in his heart; and he will not enter paradise, who has a

single grain of pride, equal to one grain of mustard seed in his

heart

Prophet Muhammad

 

Remain always strong and steadfast in thy own faith, but eschew all

bigotry and intolerance

Sri Ramakrishna

 

He who has faith has everything, and he who lacks faith lacks

everything. It is faith in the name of Lord that works wonders;

faith is life and doubt is death

Sri Ramakrishna

 

Faith is the belief in the unknown as Belief is faith in the known

Zarathushtra

 

Life loses its lustre when it loses its faith

Zarathushtra

 

Let my faith be wedded to reason, and let it be based on conviction

Zarathushtra

 

He who is full of faith and virtue, possessed of repute and wealth

in whatever land he travels is everywhere respected

Buddha

 

Man suffers through lack of faith in God

Sri Ramakrishna

 

Never lose faith in yourself ,you can do anything in the universe.

Never weaken , all power is yours

Swami Vivekananda

 

If you rely upon God as he ought to be relied upon, He will provide

you as he provides the birds: they go out empty and hungry in the

morning and come back big bellied at eventide

Prophet Muhammed

 

The ideal of faith in ourselves is of the greatest help to us. If

faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practised, I

am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have

would have vanished

Swami Vivekananda

 

Throughout the history of mankind if any motive power had been more

potent than another in the lives of all great men and women, it is

that of faith in themselves.

Swami Vivekananda

 

In the ignorance and darkness of the beginning, faith is the most

direct expression of the Divine power which comes to fight and

conquer

The Mother(Mirra)

 

One must watch over one's faith as one watches over the birth of

something infinitely precious, and protect it carefully from

everything that can impair it

The Mother(Mirra)
