Navratri/Navaratri

An AI view:
Navaratri is celebrated by worshipping three primary forms of the divine feminine power, Devi, in three sets of three days. The first three days are dedicated to Goddess Durga (or Kali) to destroy negativity. The next three days honor Goddess Lakshmi, the bestower of wealth and prosperity. The final three days are devoted to Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge and wisdom.

My extra comments, after looking into it a little more: these 3 well known goddesses make up the trilogy of goddesses, manifestations of the feminine energy, Adi Shakti. In some traditions, Laksmi is a form of Durga - or the other way round when Laksmi is viewed as Prakriti (Mahalaksmi) - but apparently Saraswati is not a form of Durga.

All 9 forms of Durga are celebrated during Navaratri ... or you can also advantageously follow the 3 blocks of 3 days for 3 main devis approach. Lots to think about/reflect upon, no matter the path ... and plenty of scope for personal revelations for the spiritual seeker.

Happy Navaratri!

Navratri colour of the day and goddess:

1st day: 23 Sep: White - goddess Shailputri (Sati)

Maa Shailputri is the goddess of the muladhara chakra or root chakra, upon awakening this Shakti one begins their journey to spiritual awakening and to their purpose in life.

Maa Shailputri is worshipped on the first day of Navratri as the very beginning of the nine forms of Maa Durga. She is believed to represent nature and is honoured as the goddess of prosperity and growth.

Devotees pray to her for peace, balance, and spiritual awakening.

Closely associated with the Moon, the giver of fortune, Maa Shailputri holds deep significance in Navratri traditions.

According to scriptures, she is the reincarnation of Goddess Sati. She was reborn as the daughter of Lord Himalaya, and hence came to be known as Shailputri, the daughter of the mountains. Her name “Shail” means mountain and “Putri” means daughter.

She is also known as Sati Bhavani, Parvati or Himavati, the daughter of Himavat - the king of the Himalayas.
