Let me now tell you story from the Life of Lord Krishna .
Lord Krishna as a young boy was a Gwala, He along with other Cow herd boys looked
after the cows of Brindaban .
The community celebrated festival to thank and praise Lord Indra ,the rain God for His benevolence to their Land .
Krishna asked the elders to Celebrate the festival to thank and praise the nearby Hill - Gowardhan which provides grass for their cattle .Indra is in heaven and very far. Gowardhan Hill is quite near.
The elders agreed and prepared to celebrate the festival to pray and thank the hill.
Lord Indra got angry and thought of teaching a lesson to the villagers for ignoring him.
He poured heavy showers of rain . The villagers were terrified and approached Lord Krishna for help.
Lord Krishna lifted the Gowardhan Hill on His small finger and sheltered the whole village folk . Indra got humbled and asked for mercy of Lord Krishna, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
This was a reform.We always need updating of our old customs which get outdated.
Now we will Chant .
Ya Devi Sarv Bhuteshu Matri Rupen Sansmrita Namastasyee Namastasyee Namo Nama .
Ya Devi Sarvbhuteshu Shakti Rupren Sansmrita Namastasyee Namastasyee Namo Nama
YA Devi Sarv Bhuteshu Lakshmi Rupen Sansmrita, Namastasyee Namastasyee Namo Nama # YA Devi Sarv Bhuteshu Vidya Rupen Sansmrita, Namastasyee Namastasyee Namo Nama.
Nav Ratri is a 9 days festival to pray for the mother aspect of God .
We have mother Earth which carries people of all races and colours and provides with food .
Our rivers are also our mother Ganga ,Yamuna,Kaveri etc.
Cow is also our mother .We are today civilised people because of her.She was responsible that we started to live in a place instead of being always on the move as hunters.She provided us milk and manure for the fields .We settled at a place and established villages and communities.
In plants we adore Tulsi plant as our mother.
Durga ,the Goddess of Energy ,Lakshmi the Goddess of Wealth,Saraswati, the Goddess 0f Knowledge and Gayatri the Goddess of Intellect .
The first 3 days of Navratri are dedicated to Durga the next 3 days to Lakshmi and the last 3 days to Gayatri.
We pray to them for our Welfare.
Yatra Naryastu Pujayanta ,Ramante Tatra Devta.
Where the Women folk are respected ,the Gods live there and bestow peace and prosperity.
