Maha Durga
Today I wake up very gratefull to be living in Nevada City, CA.
I realize how beautfull it is to be part of a community that is so dedicated to Vedic Culture.
Last night I participated in the 6th day Celebration of the Festival Navaratri.
Navaratri is the auspicious time to honor and align your soul with the Great Mother.
Its 9 days of Puja. The first 3 days are in Honor of Ma Durga. The next 3 are in honor of Ma Lakshmi and the last 3 are honoring Ma Saraswati.
The 1oth day is Dussehra / Vijay Dashmi. Its the celebration of the Victory of Good over Evil, representing the Creation of Goddess Durga by all the Gods to kill the demon Mahishasura.
Leading the Puja's is our dear friend Shri VeeruJe. A authentic Pujari from Varanasi who has moved into town with his family.
Shri VeeruJe is teaching the Chandi Path and has taken the role of leading Puja's here in the community. Its a wonderfull blessings to have him here sharing his wisdom.
My heart feels so happy to have the Mother so present with us these days.
This Festival is a powerfull Time and for those who are devoted to vedic culture should not miss these celebrations!!!
Jay Dakshina Ma!
