She who protects from and defends against negative forces; She who provides, shelters, and is the force of fertility; She who is the muse of inspiration and intuitive wisdom; She is Mother Divine, the force that creates the universe. She is one of the core divine forces celebrated and invoked in our tradition.
You are invited to join Swami Radha Bharati and Emilio Bettaglio in a ceremony celebrating the start of fall Navaratri, the celebration of ten nights of Mother Divine. This auspicious period of ten nights begins on the no-moon-night of Monday, September 22, 2025 and will continue every evening until Wednesday, October 1, 2025.
The Puja ceremony will start promptly at 5:15 p.m. on Monday, September 22nd in the 2nd floor Meditation Room at The Meditation Center. The ceremony may be attended in person or via zoom.
The primary mantra of the puja will be the “sarva mangala” mantra.
Immortal She is, pervading all things that grow downward and all things that extend upwards. It is by Her brilliance and light that the darkness of ignorance vanishes. She, Devi, the Divine One who has expounded Herself as the very being of the universe and the custodian. Mother Deity, the Divine Mother, Shri who is the refuge of all forms, of all thoughts and sentiments – all Her expressions in the power of will, power of knowledge, power of creativity – Lalita, the tender one, the gentle one, Tripura Sundari, the Beauty of the Three Realms, She whose name is beauty. She, who has revealed Herself in Creation, through the powers of Shree. (The meaning of this event for which Sadhakas celebrate)
