Navaratri Day 7 Recipes – #DeviPrasadam

September 27, 2017 by Malini Ratnam Leave a Comment

I read this on a blog today by the Isha Yoga Center on Navaratri and it resonated:

“To approach these nine days, and every other aspect of life in a celebratory way is most important. If you approach everything in a celebratory way, you learn to be non-serious about life but yet absolutely involved. The problem with us human beings right now is if we think something is important, we get serious about it. If we think it is not so important, we become lax about it – we don’t show the necessary involvement. The secret of life is in seeing everything with a non-serious eye but being absolutely involved, like a game.”

Simple yet profound words of wisdom. And this could apply to every festival we celebrate in any part of the world. If we could go about every day with this principle of celebrating the positives every day, not getting too serious or mired in the negatives and yet be fully aware of every moment, we have unlocked the secret of eternal bliss. Easier said than done:)

On Day 7 we worship Kalaratri, who is considered the fiercest form of the Mother Goddess. She is the destroyer of all demon entities, ghosts, spirits and negative energies and is also known as Shubhankari or the giver of good things.
