Purify, revitalize and realign your life - realize your highest goals and aspirations.
Navaratri or 9 nights of Mother Divine is the time for cleansing and growth. During this window, the wholeness of life rises to purge the lower, fragmented, imperfect values of natural law. In Vedic mythology, it is depicted as the time when Shakthi (quintessential universal power), champion of the gods, is victorious over demons (lower, fragmented forces of nature). It is a time for light to triumph over darkness. The river floods and stagnant pools are swept away. It's an opportunity to purify, revitalize and realign our lives: to get back on track - to realize our goals and aspirations.
