2025/9/22~10/2 : 聖母節(Navratri，又稱九夜節)－
指九個夜再加上新夜的意思。
創造，發生於黑暗之中，在母親子宮裡，在泥土幽深處。子宮裡的九個月，就像靈魂穿上人形的外衣所經的九個漫長的夜晚。
夜晚提供了休息與新活力。每到夜晚時分，整個創造界進入沉睡，也包括了看守靜心所的守夜人。當夜晚降臨的時刻，人們結束工作回到了家，慶祝、歡笑並且祈禱。這個能量，是整個創造界的發源地，賜與所有神性 或 聖母 的誕生。
在這個創造界裡的一切、你的身軀、心智、理智、我執裡，實體的能量及精微的能量，全都是這唯一能量的顯化，化為許多不同的形式，而這唯一的能量被稱之為神性。
那就是為什麼聖母也被稱為 Shakti (梵文)，它字面意思就是能量。
如果你必須舉起你的手，它需要確切的能量、確實的力量讓某些事產生。所以，這整個宇宙由 Shakti (能量) 支配。深入這個能量，就是聖母節的重點。
【而祈福儀式及靈修練習，就是深入這個能量的方法。】
所以在聖母節期間的九個夜晚，聖母以祂所有的名與化身被崇敬供奉。
~以上摘錄自古儒吉大師文章的部分內容~
The energy, which is the womb of the entire creation, which has given birth to all that is,is called Devi, or Divine Mother.Everything in this creation, your body, mind, intellect, ego; the physical and subtle energies, are all the manifestation of the one energy into many different forms. And this one energy is called Devi.That is why Mother Divine is also called Shakti which literally means energy.If you have to lift your hand, it requires certain energy, certain strength for something to happen. So, this whole universe is governed by Shakti and tapping into this Shakti is what Navratri is all about. And Pooja (worship) and spiritual practices are a means of tapping into this Shakti. So during the nine nights of Navratri, the Devi is worshipped in all Her names and forms.
The above narrated by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
