Navaratri Four:
LAKSHMI: The second set of three days is devoted to Lakshmi, the Goddess of Prosperity, wife of Vishnu;

it is a time of preservation and taking care of things or acquiring what is necessary to make your life

full of prosperity and fulfillment.

This is about receiving the proper things you need to make your life happy and comfortable (whatever that means to you).

It is interesting to note, in our present social climate, that those who have achieved great heights of material wealth

often seek a life of much more simplicity. Presently, SIMPLICITY is becoming more of a reality, whether CHOSEN or FORCED.

All is moving toward simplicity, and feeling like we voluntarily choose it is much more comforting.

Simplicity's greatest quality is peacefulness within, while still supplying adequate requirements. It does not have to mean scarcity or 'scare-city.'
Night and Day Four:
Kusmanda - She Who brings happiness
Kusmanda begins at Sunset September 30 and ends at Sunset on October 1.

Shri Lakshmi is personified not only as the goddess of fortune and wealth but also as an embodiment of loveliness, grace and charm. She is worshipped as a goddess who grants both worldly prosperity as well as liberation from the cycle of life and death.

Lore has it that Lakshmi arose out of the sea of milk, the primordial cosmic ocean, bearing a red lotus in her hand. Each member of the divine triad- Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva (creator, preserver and destroyer respectively)- wanted to have her for himself. Shiva's claim was refused for he had already claimed the Moon, Brahma had Saraswati, so Vishnu claimed her and she was born and reborn as his consort during all of his ten incarnations.

The most striking feature of Lakshmi is her persistent association with the lotus. The meaning of the lotus in relation to Shri-Lakshmi refers to purity and spiritual power. Rooted in the mud but blossoming above the water, completely uncontaminated by the mud, the lotus represents spiritual perfection and authority. To be seated upon or associated with the lotus suggests that the being in question: God, Buddha, or human being-has transcended the limitations of the finite world (the mud of existence, as it were) and floats freely in a sphere of purity and spirituality. Shri-Lakshmi thus suggests more than the fertilizing powers of moist soil and the mysterious powers of growth. She suggests a perfection or state of refinement that transcends the material world.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X7ocXzATBE&feature=fvst

KALI: The first three days are devoted to Kali, the Goddess of Destruction and Restoration, wife of Shiva; it is a time of purification, a time to let go of all that is not "on purpose" for your life. This is like "cleaning out your closets" to make way for new things. Kali wears Black and Red.

Night and Day Three:
Chandraghanta - She Who is Beautiful as the Moon
Chandraghanta begins at Sunset September 29  and ends at Sunset on September 30.

Babaji often emanated feminine energy appearing as Divine Mother taking on the soft, receptive and nurturing qualities of a woman.
What would it be like to sit on the lap of and be held in the arms of Divine Mother?

Tvameva mata cha pita tvameva;
Tvameva bandhushcha sakha tvameva;
Tvameva vidya cha dravinam tvameva;
Tvameva Sarvam mama deva deva (from the Arati Service)

Thou alone art mother and father to me.
Thou alone art kin and friend to me.
Thou alone art knowledge and wealth to me.
Thou alone art all to me, my Lord.
My Lord.

Call on Divine Mother to arrange your own personal experience of Divine Mother Haidakhandeshwari. You'll find Her in your heart and mind. You will know Her through Love. She answers to Om Namah Shivaya or any sincere call from the heart.

Om Shri Maha Kali Namah

Navaratri Day Two:
KALI: The first three days are devoted to Kali, the Goddess of Destruction and Restoration, wife of Shiva; it is a time of purification, a time to let go of all that is not "on purpose" for your life. This is like "cleaning out your closets" to make way for new things.


Night and Day Two:
Brahmacharini - She Who remains celibate
Brahmacharini begins at Sunset  September 28,and ends at sunset September 29.

Important Kali points:
Kali only destroys that which was not created on a solid foundation.
Kali stood for Existence, which meant Becoming because all her world was an eternal living flux from which all things rose and disappeared again, in endless cycles. As a Mother, Kali was called Treasure-House of Compassion (karuna), Giver of Life to the world, the Life of all lives. She was the fount of every kind of love, which flowed into the world only through her agents on earth, women.
Some of Kali's older names found their way into the Bible. As Tara, the earth, she became Terah, mother of the Hebrew ancestral spirits called "teraphim". The Latin Terra, meaning "Mother Earth," said to be interchangeable with Venus.

Indo-European languages branched from the root of Sanskrit, said to be Kali's invention. She created the magic letters of the Sanskrit alphabet and inscribed them on the rosary of skulls around her neck. The letters were magic because they stood for primordial creative energy expressed in sound - Kali's mantras brought into being the very things whose names she spoke for the first time, in her holy language. In short. Kali's worshippers originated the doctrine of the Logos creative Word. Kali's letters magically combined the elements, which were previously separate as fiery-airy (male) or watery-earthy (female) forces. The former were "cruel"; the latter "benevolent. "

Though called "the One," Kali was always a trinity. Her three forms were manifested in many ways: in the three sections of the cosmos (heaven, earth, andthe underworld), the three stages of life, the three trimesters of pregnancy, and so on. Women represented her spirit in mortal flesh. "The Divine Mother first appears in and as Her worshipper's earthly mother, then as his wife; thirdly as Kalika, She reveals Herself in old age, disease and death."
Kali's three forms appeared in the sacred colors known as "Gunas": white for the Virgin, red for the Mother, black for the Crone, symbolizing birth, life, death. Black was Kali's fundamental color as the Destroyer, for it meant the formless condition she assumed between creations, when all the elements were dissolved in her primordial substance. "As white, yellow, and other colors all disappear in black, in the same way ... all beings enter Kali."

Kali is the Goddess who takes away darkness. She destroys all impurities, consumes all inequities, and purifies her devotees with the sincerity of Her love.Now, the process of expressing a yearning for Kali truly manifests. Begin by entering with focused breath on the heart, and then call Her forth:
Om krim kalyai namah
(We call and bow to Kali, She who is all Life, with honor and respect)
Om hrim srim krim paramesvari kalike svaha(Great Goddess Kali, by the power of your all-pervading nature and supreme perfection, She who is the mystery of life, death, and regeneration, we are One with you)

Om kali kali mahakali kalike papaharini dharmarthamoksade devi narayani namo-stute(Greatest of All, Kali, Great Goddess who is the revealer of Truth, Kali who is
with us in life, make our path one of peace and virtue, bring us your strength for liberation, for self-awareness, for the awakening of our spirit, our planet and all beings, Kali, you who are All, we bow to you!).
