Meditation on Divine Weapons - 18 armed Goddess

[Guest guest]

Namaste Dear All,

 

"Navratri is a time for a conscious and rigorous examination of our

own lives. For nine days, we pray to the three Goddesses:

Mahalakshmi, Mahakali, and Mahasaraswati who wield many weapons to

cut away at the demons, the confusions that keep us away from our

divine nature.(Chandi, Navarna Vidhi) While the weapons are the

attitudes we assume, and like weapons of war, their intention is to

destroy, the goddesses are none other than our selves seeking to

reestablish our divinity." (extracted from Devi Mandir's webpage at

shreemaa.org/stories/navaratri)

 

This week, as we prepare for the autumn Navaratri, let us focus on the

Shield of Faith. Divine Gurujis ShreeMaa and Swami Satyananda

Saraswati arrived in the USA those years ago with a wealth of FAITH

and 10 cents. With the 10 cents they contacted the family to collect

them from the Airport, the potency of their Faith is ever manifest.

 

Jai ShreeMaa

Jai Swami Satyananda

Jai Jai Maa!
