Navratri is a celebration of Shakti. A celebration of Prakriti.

We pray to her and ask her to bestow health and wellness on us, which i feel she does in several ways.

Each navratri my views have changed a little, every year. As a kid, ofc it used to be very literal like there are nine goddesses and we worship them. Then came the phase when i learned that we have four navratri in a year and it corresponds to a change in seasons.

Yesterday i was listening to a podcast and i heard some really interesting symbolism.

Shailputri- as the name suggests, she is the daughter of mountains or rather the king of mountains. Her name binds her to her father. Her identity is from her father, much like our identity remains tethered to our parents during childhood.

Brahmacharini- this form tells a story of ma Parvati during her tap to attain lord Shiva. We all tire away in our work, each day and every day to reach out goals.

Chandraghanta- here she is in her complete Durga form. She's weilding several weapons. It signifies and tells us how she's now an accomplished woman, a woman who has worked extremely hard and continues to do so but now she's has gained a footing in the world. She has started carving out an identity for herself.

Kushmanda- she is quiet similar to chandraghanta in her appearance, the only difference is she that she's now holding a pot in her hand. A pot of honey. Honey symbolises womb. She's has entered her motherly nurturing state and is ready to create a life.

Skandamata- mother of skanda. She no longer a holds weapons and is solely focused on her kid. Like every other ma, her entire life is currently devoted to her kid. He's the centre of her universe.

Katyayani- she takes form of Durga. She shows everybody how a woman's life doesn't end with motherhood. She is leaving behind all the ties, she isn't anyone's daughter, or wife or mother. She's her.

Kalaratri- or Kali. She is quite a sight to look at. Specifically taking such a form to scare away demons. Anyone who points fingers at her, anyone who dares call her weak- she demolishes such allegations.

Mahagauri- after going through every phase of her life. The process initiated at katyayani is now complete. She is free from boundations and gauri is now mahagauri. The one who has realised.

Siddhidatri- she looks like ma lakshmi. She's a giver. Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and advancement in material and spiritual world is really the end goal. She's calm and smiling, she has accomplished enough in her life and she's now sharing it with everyone around her.

क्या सदग्रंथो में भूखा रहने का विवरण है? क्या व्रत रखने से मोक्ष प्राप्त होता है?

I love how so many people lunge forward to gather the curling smoke of the lamps lit for Durga, as if they finally find the warmth of Her maternal affection, and feel her healing touch from the trembling flame. I love how some women gather it in the fringes of their Sari - bearers of Mother's love to their homes. I love how so many of us participate in the Sandhi Puja, enraptured by the lotuses and lamps. But mostly, I find myself astonished by how we celebrate a Goddess's arrival in a place where women are oppressed so terribly.

Ashtami morning might give peak pujo vibes but the sadness of the greatest festival ending also starts creeping in.

Managed to post the penultimate episode from the ongoing 'Arrah' chapter on www.littlebylittle.online. Durga Pooja was not as intense a festival as Chhatth Pooja, but it was around for ten days and that meant the festivities and rituals surrounded our everyday routine like a dew drop rolling on a leaf. Our home would smell of dhoop, agarnbatti and postadana halwa. To this day, participating in the aarti feels slightly heavy because of how religiously my father participated in the ceremonies. The thing I really looked forward to was visiting the pandals early in the morning on Dashmi. The handiwork of different craftsmen trying to outdo each other with their effort on stitching the corners of the pandal's cloth or how beautifully rendered the stage backdrop was a marvel for a six-year-old. I have always felt that from the onset of Durga Pooja, the wind took a different turn, slowly opening the doors to the nippy winter, and the festivals would just pour in from that ajar door one by one, leaving you no choice but to be soaked in it.

Read the episode here.
