Dear friends, last 15 days were devoted to our ancestors. During this period on Matri Navami was specially devoted to our female ancestors .
Today is first day of Navraatri. Now, 9 days are devoted to mother of universe. If all of you like, I will be quoting a benevolent thought / verses from Durga Saptashati or other epics, every day during this festival.
Today I wish for prosperity, harmony and all round development of the world by following verses:
“Yaa shreeh swayam sukritinaam bhavaneshvalalakshmih,
Paapaatmanaam kritdhiyaam hridayeshu buddhih;
Shraddhaa sataam kuljan prabhavashya lajja,
Taam twaam nataah sma Paripaalaya Devi Vishwam!!!”
- ShreeDurgasaptaahati, 4/5
