The nine days of Navaratri are an opportunity to tune to the gifts of Mother Nature.
The Power of Nature is contemplated in three different aspects:
The transformative aspect for the elimination of negative thoughts (“Durga”)
The preservative aspect to cultivate new positive thoughts (“Lakshmi”)
The creative aspect of knowledge and wisdom (“Saraswati”)
The ceremonies (pujas) are practical visualizations to connect to these powers of nature, physically, mentally and spiritually. They are accompanied by mantras, recitations and readings from vedic scriptures (Devi Mahatmyam).

Mère Nature "Le monde entier est son corps. Les montagnes sont ses os. Les rivières sont ses veines. L'océan est sa vessie. Le soleil et la lune sont ses yeux. Le vent est son souffle. Le feu est sa bouche. Les cinq éléments et leurs combinaisons sont les manifestations externes de Mère Nature. L'intelligence, la discrimination, le pouvoir psychique et la volonté sont ses manifestations internes. L'humanité est sa forme visible." — Swami Sivananda
