'Come and walk in Chokhalia Chundi ..

'Hey, it's night to play Halo Sakhi Garbe!

Decreased installation: 5 October

The night of Navratri came again. Gujarat has become famous all over the world due to its traditional pride. So popular because of the modern Navratri, Garba Raas playing style and innovative costumes.

Navratri means Dhol-Dandiya, Ras-Garba Ramzat! But for the spiritual thirsty for Dharma and Sadhana, this Navratri is a wonderful time to accumulate energy through self-worship. These days are considered excellent for singing Dharma-Dhyana, Vrat, Samyam, Niyam, Yajna Mataji's Garba while worshiping Durga.

Maa Durga has been worshiped as a form of power for centuries. This whole power is dedicated to the universe. This supernatural power governs the universe, and with it the uninterrupted power within man, running this world by instinct according to his nature. The one who protects all, nurtures their obedience.

In the Puranic scriptures, the supreme power of 'Maa Jagadambika' is called 'Adya' Shakti and 'Anadi Shakti'. Which cannot be described in words like Devas, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh. The Rig Veda, the oldest scripture in the world, states that Rudra Vasu, in the form of Aditya Vishwadev, roams the universe. Which takes the form of names like Varun Indra, Agni, Ashwini Kumar etc. on earth and protects and nurtures all living beings.

Markand Muni has described his power by giving a wide meaning of 'Jagdamba' in his Shakradaya hymn.

Mahalakshmi Swarup Vishnu, Maa Saraswati Swarup Brahmajnana, Mahalakshmi Swarup Mahesh is the one who shows the way to Maa Jagdamba. During Navratri, these three perform the devotional rituals of Maa Durga to attain the form of Shakti and to purify the conscience. At one point the Markand sage asked Maa Jagdamba, 'Oh Goddess! who are you ? Then Maa Jagdamba said while describing her form!

'O sage! This whole universe originated from my nature! And there will be rhythm in me. The good or bad elements of this world remain in my vision. I am Vasu in the inner consciousness of man. I am a source of joy in his life. When I am sorry for the wicked. I am the science behind the wonderful development of the world.

'Vishwabhanri Akhil' Vishwatani Janeta, dwell in Vidyadhari Vadan. Vidyata remove evil intellect, give sanity. Maam Pahiyo Bhagwati Bhava went to grief.
