Navratri, also spelled Navaratri or Navarathri, is a 9 day long Hindu festival celebrated in almost every part of India. In most parts it is celebrated in honor of the divine Devi - Durga, a re-incarnation of Adi Shakti. In the southern and eastern states of India, the Durga Puja is synonymous with worshiping the Goddess - Navratri, wherein goddess Durga battles and emerges victorious over Mahishasura - the buffalo demon. In the northern and western states, the festival celebrates the battle and victory of god Rama over the demon king Ravana. In both cases, the festival celebrates the victory of the good over evil. The 9 days of Navratri are dedicated to the worship of 9 forms of the Goddess - Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kaalaratri, Mahagauri, Durga or ParaShakti. Here are the stories of each of these Goddesses. नवरात्रि भारत के लगभग हर हिस्से में मनाया जाने वाला 9 दिवसीय हिंदू त्योहार है। अधिकांश भागों में यह दिव्य देवी - दुर्गा, आदि शक्ति के पुन: अवतार के सम्मान में मनाया जाता है। भारत के दक्षिणी और पूर्वी राज्यों में, दुर्गा पूजा का उत्सव मनाया जाता है, जिसमें देवी दुर्गा युद्ध करती हैं और महिषासुर - भैंस दानव पर विजय प्राप्त करती हैं। उत्तरी और पश्चिमी राज्यों में, यह त्योहार राक्षसराज रावण पर भगवान श्री राम की लड़ाई और जीत के जश्न के रूप में मनाई जाती है। बुराई पर अच्छाई की जीत का सन्देश यह त्यौहार देता है। नवरात्रि के 9 दिन देवी के 9 रूपों - शैलपुत्री, ब्रह्मचारिणी, चंद्रघंटा, कुष्मांडा, स्कंदमाता, कात्यायनी, कालरात्रि, महागौरी, दुर्गा या परशक्ति की पूजा के लिए समर्पित हैं। यहां आप प्रत्येक देवी की कहानी सुन सकते हैं।

The Krishna Das Pilgrim Heart Hour features Krishna Das’ no-nonsense take on everyday struggles for finding balance on the spiritual path. Through the honesty, humility and humor of his own personal experiences, he points to the possibility of navigating life’s trials with a true inner yearning for truth. His own practice of kirtan or chant is the well stone of his ability to share from his spiritual heart. As KD says, “Love is a disease - we catch it from those who have it.”

Our Sanatan is a treasure trove of philosophies and life lessons. The Upanishads delve into concepts like "Self-realisation", "Brahman" or "Supreme Being" and "Atman" or "Supreme Self". Puranas grasp the concept of the Supreme power using the medium of stories. Upanishads and Vedas are technically superior in terms of philosophies and thought processes, making them challenging for common people to understand, but the Puranas present similar ideas in a more accessible and interesting story format. Please subscribe, download, and follow the podcast series. Aum Shantih, Shantih, Shantih!

Автор: Шри Вьяса Двайпаяна. Перевод: Александр Драгилев (Свами Б.Ч. Бхарати). Текст читает: Сергей Русскин (Сундар Дути дас). Муз. оформление: Алексей Лукьянов (Аджита Кришна дас). В Ведах определены четыре цели человеческой жизни — здоровье, материальное благополучие, честное имя и свобода — и изложены способы их достижения. Но, записав Веды, античный мудрец Вьяса пришел к выводу, что ничто из вышеперечисленного не делает человека счастливым. И тогда по наставлению своего учителя Нарады, он написал Шримад Бхагаватам, где призвал людей отказаться от всего, к чему призывают Веды. Книга Вьясы представляет собой беседу между Императором древнего мира Парикшитом и блаженным странником Шукадевой. Император, узнав о том, что должен умереть через семь дней, оставил трон, семью, друзей и отправился на берег Ганги, чтобы там, в раздумьях об истинных ценностях, вступить в Вечность.
