Here is the lore-
Long ago , the mighty Asura king Mahishasura was granted the boon of immortality by Shiva, through extreme tapasya ( penance ) . Shiva was so pleased with Mahishasura’s devotion, that he blessed him with eternal life, declaring that no man, beast, demon or deity would ever be able to kill him.
Mahishasura, having received Shiva’s boon, now considered himself invincible and started a reign of terror and conquest of the three lokas. Slaying and killing mercilessly, he and his army of demons soon conquered earth, and set their eyes upon Devaloka, the abode of the Devas.

Mahishasura attacked the Gods, and in a ferocious battle seized Devaloka, driving out Indra and the Devas. He grabed the throne of Indra and declared himself to be the new ruler.

Navratri is all about Goddess SHAKTI destroying cosmic forces of disharmony .
Goddess Shakti ( in Durga form ) is Ashtak or eight armed .
How many of you know that AZTEC of Mexico is derived from Goddess Shakti?
Have you ever seen the Ashtabhuja,, the eight armed Goddess ( below ) - found in Mexican temples ?
Nowhere in the word are multi-armed idols found, except in India. This is a Hindu concept .

Verse II:
I take refuge in that Goddess Durga who is of the color of Fire, who blazes with her tapas (spiritual fire), who is the consort of Virochana (the Supreme Being) and who is the bestower of the fruit of actions. Obeisance to Thee who art skilled in ferrying people across the river of the World. Be pleased to ferry us across.

OM! Shanti: Shanti: Shanti:
Goddess Shakti ( Durga )is the mother of the universe and is the KINETIC power behind the work of creation, preservation, and destruction of the world.
Since time immemorial she has been worshipped as the supreme power of the Supreme Being and has been mentioned in our Vedas of 5000 BC .
The Goddess Durga form of Shakti is depicted as having eight hands. These represent eight Vaastu quadrants in Hinduism .
Goddess Durga is depicted as a fierce warrior woman with eight hands carrying weapons of different kinds assuming mudras, (symbolic hand gestures) that represent her . Shakti is a force and Durga is thus personalized form of a cosmic allegory.
• Chakra in her 1st upper right hand – is a scalar energy interferometry vortex, used by Lord Krishna in Mahabharata to create a severe temperature inversion and cause the sun to go below the horizon form Arjun to kill Jatadrata..
• Conch in her first upper left hand —represents OM 7.83 hertz , the frequency of this planet , and the Golden mean of 1.618 ..
• Sword in her second right lower hand – to decapitate evil ( forces causing cosmic disharmony ).
• Bow and arrow in her second left lower hand – Scalar thunderbolt
• Lotus Flower in her third lower left hand – Power granted to her by Brahma .
• Club in her third right lower hand –Power granted to her by Vishnu – the mace gadha
• Trident/Trishul in her fourth left lower hand – power granted to her Shiva (Tamas/ Sattwa / Rajas ).
• Fourth Lower Right Hand symbolizes – Scalar field Healing.
Purusha ( Brahman / morphogenetic consciousness field ) is static . Shakti ( Pragati ) is the dynamic side of Brahman.
Durga is the destroyer form of Shakti. Durga is a form of Parvati, the wife of Lord Shiva, the destroyer God.
Durga killed Mahishasura after 9 days of intense battle, triggering off the Navratri celebrations.
In each cycle of creation, Purusha ( Brahman) enters into Prakriti ( Shakti ) and this union unfolds as the cosmos. In the pralaya or dissolution at the end of the cosmic cycle or Kalpa, all creation withdraws into the now formless Prakriti.
Prakriti expresses Herself through the three gunas ( tamas/ sattva / rajas-- - creator/ preserver / destroyer ) , the threads or qualities of all creation. Unlike Prakriti, the Purusha is only a Drashta or Sakshi (witness) of events in this universe. It merely plays the role of a spectator and does not create anything.
This aspect could be compared to a prism, which emits myriad colors only when light is passed through it. Purusha is always unchanging in nature and hence, it is Achala or static. Prakriti, on the contrary, constantly creates changes in this universe, hence is the dynamic one.
Shiva and Shakti are the basics of the entire Tantra philosophy. It is NOT perverted sex as the immoral white historian wrote over brandy and cigars.
In essence Shiva and Shakti are undifferentiated unity. In Tantra, consciousness is called Shiva, and manifestation, which is energy /power, is called Shakti. Prakriti ( Shakti ) cannot be perceived, not because of its non-existence, but because of its subtlety. It is perceived in its effects.
When the insentient Prakriti ( female –Dvaita ) comes in contact with the sentient Purusha (male –Advaita ) , the universe evolves.
.jpg)
Not only is Shakti responsible for creation, it is also the agent of all change It is a tantric symbol symbolizing two triangles representing Shakti from below merging into Shiva .
This symbol ( six point star formed by two enmeshed triangles ) was used by the disgraced Kerala Namboodiris who founded Judaism.
Shakti awakens, goes up Sushumna nadi and unites with Shiva in Sahasrara chakra. Shiva represents the higher cosmic consciousness and Shakti represents evolution of energy. Kundalini yoga is based on this concept.
This image represents a transgendered entity, which depicts how the female principle of Goddess Shakti is inseparable from the male principle of Lord Shiva. Both the Shaktas (devotees of Shakti) and the Shaivas (devotees of Shiva) of the Tantra school of thought believe in the Divine Unity of Shakti with Shiva as the Ultimate Truth..
The Ardha-Nari, which literally means, "half-woman", is the Soul of the tiny atom to the vast cosmos. All creation starts from Him.
Life is created from Him and death is considered as a return back to His Kingdom, only to emerge yet again clothed in another body. Hence, there is no perishing of any creature - it is all only a part of a much larger process of the cycle of life itself.
Though Shakti is not co-existent with Purusha, ( Shiva ), she requires his presence to keep the cosmos functioning smoothly. Shiva ( Purusha/ brahmAn ) , though he wields unlimited power, he cannot create the universe without the Eternal Life Force of Shakti to back him.
The concept of Ardhanarishvara clearly brings out the fact that Prakriti (Shakti) and Purusha (Shiva) are nothing without each other and one cannot exist and function in the absence of the other.
Tantras are the ancient scriptures, which were meant to spread the light of knowledge of our True Self and bring humanity out of ignorance. They trace their origin from the Vedas and the Upanishads, and in fact do not deviate from the teachings contained in them.
Like Vedanta, Tantra has its own followers in the true spirit of inquiry and realization of the cosmic unity and power of the Self.
Unfortunately, Tantras were tainted with such practices as 'erotic mysticism' and 'black magic'..by the white invader eager to convert Hindus to Christianity—using their FAKE Mutts and Indian stooges, like Raja Ram Mohan Roy.
I have been to the exact spot where Durga killed Mahishasura ( Mookasura ) as revealed by Adi Shankaracharya .
Punch into Google search-
KUDAJADRI MOUNTAIN ADI SHANKARACHARYA 2000 BC VADAKAYIL
At the base of Kudajadri mountain lies Maranakatte ( Moolasthana ) , where Durga (Devi ) had killed the demon Mookasura, and you can see the 35 feet handle end of the metal trident spear sticking out.
Indian scientists from NITK, Suratkal conducted a test on this spear and found that it was made from traditional Indian metallurgical skills. Nobody knows the composition of the alloy yet as the spear has NOT rusted despite being more than 4000 years old.
Before Durga fought demon Mahishasura , she was empowered by the Hindu god trinity of Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. She battled for nine days and on the tenth day vanquished the evil demon.
Mookambika temple consecrated by Adi Shankaracharya 4000 years ago, is my wife’s favourite temple as she says it emits powerful vibes . He also installed the Sri Yantra there.

SRI YANTRA ,108 AND THEORY OF EVERYTHING VADAKAYIL
Mookambika Devi is unique among the Hindu gods and goddesses as she embodies the powers of Laksmi ( wife of Vishnu) Saraswati ( wife of Brahma ) and Parvati ( wife of Shiva ) merged into one as Adiparashakthi.
Here is the lore-
Long ago , the mighty Asura king Mahishasura was granted the boon of immortality by Shiva, through extreme tapasya ( penance ) . Shiva was so pleased with Mahishasura’s devotion, that he blessed him with eternal life, declaring that no man, beast, demon or deity would ever be able to kill him.
Mahishasura, having received Shiva’s boon, now considered himself invincible and started a reign of terror and conquest of the three lokas. Slaying and killing mercilessly, he and his army of demons soon conquered earth, and set their eyes upon Devaloka, the abode of the Devas.
Mahishasura attacked the Gods, and in a ferocious battle seized Devaloka, driving out Indra and the Devas. He grabed the throne of Indra and declared himself to be the new ruler.
Below: Dane Quantum Scientist and Nobel Prize winner, Neils Bohr converted to Hinduism and was cremated .
The Devas hurried to seek the aid of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, who were not pleased to hear of Mahishasura’s deeds. The stories of Mahishasura’s violent conquest enraged the three to such a degree that a light of anger sprang out of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The display of anger from the three sent out a light, which illuminated the three worlds and combined to take the beautiful form of the Goddess Durga.
Mahishasura in his arrogance had not considered that a woman could be of any threat, but Shiva, having given Mahishasura his boon, knew that he was only protected against animals, men and Gods, and that a woman, a Devi, with the boons and powers of the three would be able to slay the demon and restore balance and prosperity to the worlds.
When Mahishasura saw Durga on the battlefield, he fell in love instantly, enthralled by her beauty, he proposed to marry her. Durga agreed, but on one condition, Mahishasura would have to defeat her in battle.
Then began a fierce battle between the two and their armies of Devas and Asuras, the fighting continued for nine days and nights with much gore and destruction. Finally on the tenth day, Durga had the upper hand and Mahishasura, desperately trying to avoid defeat, transformed into a wild buffalo.
Durga pinned him to the ground with her left leg, Mahishasura shape shifted back to his human form and leapt up. Durga pierced his chest with her trishul and swiftly beheaded Mahishasura with her sword, liberating both man and Gods of the terrible demon and restoring peace and balance to the worlds.
Thus Durga was given the name Mahishasura Mardini, the slayer of Mahishasura.

The foreign funded Indian media are tripping over each other to remind the Hindu women that they should NOT fast for their husbands unless the husbands reciprocate by fasting too on Karva Chauth.
Same is happening for Navratri too.
As per the BENAMI owned Indian media , who employs foreign funded presstitutes , a liberated Indian woman is the one who will wear private parts PEEK A BOO revealing clothes , go and have sex with strangers on the street as soon as her husband goes to office. It did NOT work, so now they have started praising porn stars every day .
Below: Nowadays if you go to Indian gyms you find EMPOWERED young women in skin tights showing off their camel toes . How many of you think that judges will find any flaw on this woman ?
The whole world is jealous that the Indian rate of divorce is the smallest on the planet. There is NO word for divorce in the ancient Sanskrit dictionary. For Hindu marriages are made in heaven and they lasted a life time. The reason is we have traditional festivals where the women are grateful to their men folk and vice versa .
The foreign funded Indian TV stations have got the usual moth eaten female faces to EMPOWER young Hindu girls. To find out who the DESH DROHIS are make a list of the celebrities who come on TV prime time human rights debates ( leave out the political party spokespersons ) and 90% of this list are remote controlled by the NEW WORLD ORDER .
We know who they are— it is our job to make sure these people land up in the dustbin of Indian history.
We know who they are— it is our job to make sure these people land up in the dustbin of Indian history.
So the Western white men are tripping over each other to save Hinduism, Hindu marriages and the Hindu woman.
How little they know of our Indian culture !
What do they know of the mindset of a Hindu woman—a Bharatiya naari ?
In India our souls are united with marriage. No Indian woman will go for silicon implants to save her marriage.
When I put a post on Karva Chauth I was attacked by dozens of wannabe goragaand Chutney Marys for saying that for 3 decades I have always got my morning tea within 3 minutes of getting up from bed. I even came on the headlines of a National newspaper .
Let me shock them a WEE bit more—
This tea extends to the noon siesta too.
Sometimes I wake up in the WEE hours of the morning and I sit at my laptop. On the ship a Captain sleeps when he feels sleepy and gets up when he is awake.
Say, today I suddenly got up at 3.15 AM. As soon as my wife came to know that I was awake ( at around 4 AM ) , she got up, made tea for me and went back to sleep . Then we went for our morning walk at 7 AM.
BURN PICKLE JOHNS BURN – BURN CHUTNEY MARYS BURN !
I shall make you burn more later !
I shall make you burn more later !
Below: The AXIS bank face Deepika Padukone feels that prostitution to make money is OK-- and she has the whole BENAMI media praising her for having such a GOLDEN HEART --
SNIFF !
These wannabe gora gaands will never understand why Hindu mothers even sacrifice for their small babies. These selfish “ape the west” Chutney Marys will keep their small babies in another room at night .
So the moment Pickle Johns husbands go for work , their Chutney Mary wives are busy screwing around— naukar bhi chalega ! When they see hunks on the street they mentally copulate with them.
Hindus believe that during Navratri festival Mother Goddess Shakti descends into the Earth plane for nine consecutive night with all attributes of the wives of the Trinity -- Brahma / Vishnu / Shiva -- Saraswati ( learning ) / Lakshmi ( wealth ) / Parvati ( energy ).
Navratri begins on the new moon day of Ashvina month in Hindu calendar. On the first 3 nights Shakti is worshipped as Durga ( Parvati ) , the next 3 nights as Lakshmi and the last 3 nights as Saraswati.

Hindu women fast during the nine days of Navratri. There is NO hard and fast rule for fasting. People change from non-vegetarian to vegetarian diet . Navratri Vrat is about accepting some rigid self discipline and sticking to it.
Married couple abstain from sex. People when they want to even TURN OVER A NEW LEAF , do a vrat as a ritual. It is a thousand times more stronger than a bullshit new year resolution.
This is always a goal in mind. It is about harnessing your meandering mind , which aids self focus to awaken your dormant powers within.

Gratitude , non-violence, love, truth , unselfishness, sacrifice, grace, honesty form the warp and weft of this vrat fabric. Optimism , courage , perseverance , contemplation and fortitude form the fibre.
There are no cheaters. Nobody monitors, as it is about your own mind cleansing. Hindus abstain from alcohol, cigarettes, foul language and lack of discipline.
Men do NOT shave or cut their hair, to remind them of their vrat and their determination keep away from worldly objects of pleasure, and NOT to hurt the feelings of others.
People visit the temple on all 9 days.

Below: Check out the immoral attack on Hinduism -- it is in the middle of Durga Puja -- an EMPOWERED married Hindu woman and a stranger.
Vrat is NOT mere abstaining from food . Vrat helps you to prepare the mind for meditation and contemplation--rather observing yourself inwards.
As a kid, Ayudha Puja was my favourite festival--and ditto for every single child of Kerala. From the evening of Ashtami , the eight day till the morning of the Vijaya Dashami tenth day, we are forbidden from touching our books. One token book would be sent to the the local temple and the rest stacked up in the puja room of the house.
Every body including adults cannot touch their tools on the 9th day ( Maha navami ) Ayudha puja
It is kept for worship on the altar of the divine. If one can make a conscious effort to see the Divine in the tools and objects one uses each day, it will help one to see one's work as an offering to God.
This means on the 10th day there will be no newspaper in the morning. The diety is Saraswati, the Goddess of learning.
The 10th auspicious day is called Vijaya Dashimi. On the morning after a bath, the books or tools have to be taken out and used. Both my children at the age of three was initiated into the world of letters on this day morning--after the nine days if Navratri.
The children of 3 or 5 are taken to the temple ( or done in the house ) for the Vidyarambham ceremony, as a unique annual ritual. For this learning initiation the child is made to sit on the lap of the parents or grandparents in front of the picture or statue of Goddess Saraswati.
The mantra "Om Hari Shree Ganapathaye Namah"(ഓംഹരിശ്രീഗണപതയേനമഃ) is written on the tongue of the child with a gold ring dipped in honey and vayampu.
Then the child is made to write the same thing in rice on a flat platter made of bell metal, with the right index finger ,uttering each syllable as it is written--prompted by the elder hand.
Most of the kindergarden schools start on Vijaya Dashami day in Kerala.
On the 8th , 9th and 10th days thousands throng in Kerala temples.
Let me visualise what all my wife kept in the puja room for Ayudha Puja .
A Saraswati picture on a white cloth, flowers, mango leaves, turmeric, kumkum, puffed and beaten rice, few seasonal fruits including plantains, conch, burning incense--etc . Our prasadam was Pradhaman payasam made of jaggery.
Below: Goddess of learning Saraswati . We have the richest culture on this planet ! We are jealous of none !!
Navratri 2014 begins on September 25 and ends on October 3 2014.
During Navratri a kalash is placed in the Puja room.
A Kalash is prepared at home and the water is changed daily for nine days. The kalash is placed on grains on raised platform or in the Puja room.
One diya is lit close to this Kalash which is supposed to burn endlessly for nine days. This is known as Akhand Jyoti.

KALASHA , SYMBOL OF THE COSMIC WOMB VADAKAYIL
Navratri is a time for SPRING CLEANING of the entire house, giving away unwanted things to poor people and discarding useless things.
Hindus clean their homes for inviting the Goddess Shakti into their homes.
Hoarding of usless garbage in the homes like old clothes, shoes, plastic bottles, magazines etc is an effort to manage the anxiety raised by obsessive doubts.
There will be a disruption to feelings of self-worth, interpersonal relationships, occupation, or health as a result of hoarding items which are worthless.
Hoarders experience intense anxiety when they even think of discarding what most others view as useless objects.
They are affected by anxiety-provoking thoughts such as: "What if I run out?" "What if I need to know something and don't have the information available?"" "What if I throw it away but the day comes when I really need it?"
Hoarders are suspicious of other people touching possessions , as they feel it may be thrown away , when they are not around.
Being overly sentimental does not bring happiness---that storing up stuff only brings misery, chaos, and isolation. All hoarders firmly believe that every single object will be useful one day, whether it is a broken toy, old magazine, torn ill fitting shoes, empty container, plastic bag , old tooth brushes, old school notebooks, old damaged music tapes ..
They will have FALTHU imaginary emotional connection to all such garbage. Hoarders make themselves miserable and and everyone else miserable. Remember, there is NO medicine for treating hoarding. This OCD is due to bad programming in your genes. You need to wipe out the blue print and insert a healthy one.
Navratri teaches you about letting go first and then changing for the better. You can never learn, unless you unlearn.
The 10th day is Vijayadashami and marks the victory of Goddess Durga over the demons Mahishasura.
The FAKE mutts of the white invader created all these Ram’s victory over Ravan events on Dusshera—on the same day.
Why not ?
The white invader quotes verses from a whole lot of FAKE DASAS who never existed -- Kalidas’s Raghuvans, Tulsidas’s Ram Charit Manas, Keshavdas's Ram Chandra Yas Chandrika etc
The white invader caused the BR Ambedkarite people in India celebrate this festival as Ashok Vijayadashmi, since the Mauryan Emperor Asoka converted from BAAD BAAD Hindusim to GOODIE GOOD Buddhism on this day.
Ashoka never existed !
Nobody heard of Ashoka till the white invader came to India.
Taking a cue BR. Ambedkar converted from BAAD BAAD Hindusim to GOODIE GOOD Buddhism on this day at Deekshabhoomi, Nagpur in 1956, which fell on 14 October in that year.
Gudi Padwa ( first day of Chaitra Navratri in March / April ) was unknown before the white invader came to India—and was celebrated first by Chitpavan Brahmins .
The holy Kalash without water , was put UPSIDE DOWN on a pole -- rather IMPALED by a pole from the bottom -- and converted to the flag of Brahma ( sic ) !! What is all this ?
I CAN QUOTE MANY MORE — BUT LET IT BE ! HINDUS ARE SO EASILY FOOLED.

CHANAKYA , THE TAXILA UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR WHO BECAME A KINGMAKER VADAKAYIL
Let me wash my hands as a ritual !
Goddess Shakti ( bhagwati ) was being worshiped in Kerala thousands of years before Lord Parashurama came 6000 years ago.
A whole chapter in the tenth mandal of the Rigveda 5000 BC, addresses the devotional sadhanas of Goddess Shakti. The "Devi Sukta" and "Isha Sukta" of the Rigveda and "Ratri Sukta" of the Samveda similarly sing paeans of praise of sadhanas of Shakti.
Lord Krishna worshipped Shakti before he set out for the Battle of Mahabharata in 4000 BC.
Navratri is also a time to connect with the community. Neighbours invite each other home to see the display of idols, to sing songs, share food and exchange small gifts.
They gather together in the evenings to singe and do group dance. It’s a vibrant social festival. It’s also a time to explore and socially bond..
During the Navratri nights, large groups of devotees participate in 'jagran' and remain awake the whole night singing 'bhajans' and 'hymns' dedicated to Shakti.
The festival of Navratri is celebrated in different manner all through India, but fasting remains one of its common highlights. Navratri fast is broken on the ninth day or 'Navami'..
Some people live only on fruit juices and tender coconut water for the entire length of fasting. Sago gruel is sometimes consumed as it gives quick energy and is easy to digest.
In Sanatana Dharma we know -- “There can be NO prayer without fasting”.
Spring cleaning takes place inside th humanbody during navratri fast. Have you noticed --when animals are ill, they lie down and often don't eat or drink. Energy goes towards healing our bodies instead of digesting food.
Fasting is a message to your body that you're embarking on a new beginning, flushing out the old and bringing in the new.
The tenth day is a time to feast and rejoice. There is an air of gratitude. Gratitude has a unique relationship with your mental and physical health.
Grateful people are happier, less stressed and happier with social relationships. Grateful people have better self acceptance and are at peace with themselves.
