Happy navratri bee🥳
Happy Navratri to all the IF members.
A time of celebration;
“MAA DURGA”s visitation;
Oh! “Maa Durga”, where are you?
Among the huge and richest decorations?
Or in the biggest statues?
Or with the grand music and dancing stars?
But I want to see you;
At a place, where no food, no cloth;
At a place, where kills a baby child;
At a place, where lives tormented woman;
At a place, where Annadaata starving
At a place, where old and weak neglected,
At a place, where chemicals flow in to the holy rivers;
At a place where people quarrel for monuments!!
Go there, “MAA” with the nine expressions;
Destroy the evils and bring the peace back
I want to give a peaceful Era to my next generation!
"Nine nights of honoring the divine feminine!
Nine nights of celebrating womanhood!"⭐️

I remember this Garba song very fondly since it was the first ever time I danced to one on stage!
Pethalpur ma pavo vagyo ne maro suto sonido jagyo jawan lal
Bhammariya re lal bhammariya
Nehado lagadi alya halyo tu Mumbai, Mumbai motu sheher
Tara vijoge ahi ame jhurta tya tu karto laher
Have jhajhu rokaje na aaje jawan lal
Bhammariya re lal bhammariya
Food and garba! ⭐️
Jalsa toh aiyaaj chhe!! ❤️😆
Just some additional Navratri trivia on how it's celebrated in the South of India...
This display of dolls is called 'Golu', but has different names in different parts of South India. The display represents the 'ladder of evolution'. It's also a celebration of the goddesses with the rest of the display representing their 'royal court' or 'assembly'. Usually the display comprises an odd number of steps, from 1 to 11. The topmost steps are reserved for the highly evolved forms and the bottommost for the least evolved. So it goes like this: Gods, demigods, saints, humans, animals.
The collection of dolls usually tell stories from our myths and epics such as Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagavatam, Dashaavataram and so on. The dolls are usually made of mud or clay. It is customary to add one new doll every year. It is also common to have a pair of wooden dolls called Maraipachi bommai in traditional dress that represent man and woman symbolizing prosperity and fertility. People get quite creative with their Golus - they can have a theme where they display the 'story' behind the theme. There is usually a new theme every year.
The three goddesses are worshipped all through Navratri with the first 3 days for Parvati (Durga), the next three days for Lakshmi (goddess of wealth and prosperity) and the last three for Saraswati (goddess of knowledge and learning). On the ninth day, the day of Saraswati Puja, people worship their tools and implements that are responsible for their livelihood, in addition to books. These days it's laptops and computers, but it's also common to place kitchen tools like spoons, knives and ladles.
Saraswati Puja day means a day's break from studies, where all your books are placed on the altar and worshipped. Then, the next day - the day of Vijayadashami, you bring the books and implements back to study/use them.
The Golu is worshipped twice a day, wherein prasadam is offered and Aartis and bhajans sung. Usually a traditional dish called 'Sundal' is offered which is different types of lentils garnished with coconut.
Women (usually married women and kanyas) are invited over and given small gifts and the auspicious haldi-kumkum. It's not a must to have the Golu in every home, but it's a tradition to carry it forward across the generations, and it's recommended that if you begin it, you must continue it every year at Navratri.
Happy Navratri Bee 🤗
