Navaratri Seven: Kalaratri - Kali Night of no MoonKalaratri is the one who destroys ignorance and removes darkness. She is also known as Shubhamkari.
In this form she is believed to have licked the blood of demon Rakta Beeja who had the capacity to bring out thousand demons from a drop of blood spilt from his body.

This is the most violent form of Durga. This form primarily depicts that life also has dark side – the violent Mother Nature-- and creates havoc and removes all dirt.

SARASWATI: The last three days are devoted to Saraswati, the Goddess of Wisdom, Knowledge and the Arts, wife of Brahma; it is a time of receiving Divine
Guidance on how to properly use all resources sent your way. This is making most
efficient and purposeful use of everything you are given.

Night and Day Seven:
Kalaratri - Kali Night of no Moon
Kalaratri begins at sunset on Oct.3 and ends at sunset on Oct. 4..
The goddess called Night of Time, Kalaratri, represents nirvana.

What is Nirvana?
Nirvana literally means "The blowing out of a candle". The fire that goes out
does not pass away, but merely becomes invisible by passing into a conscious experience of union with All That Is. It refers to entry into another mode of existence and experience. The fire that comes forth is the fire of the self.

This is the "emptiness" which is referred to in many of the teachings. It is an
ideal condition of rest, harmony, stability, or joy; the ability to consciously
pause the mind. Om Namah Shivaya.

Babaji tells us that when we feel the 'emptiness' inside--like a black hole-- we have the urge to fill it with the Unreal (emotions, relationships, wealth, power, knowledge) just to avoid the emptiness. Babaji tells us, also, that the "emptiness" is where He resides. He is the No Thing and the No Body.

Enjoy and embrace the emptiness of the Seventh Night of Navaratri.
When it is time to fill it, do so consciously with Truth, Simplicity, Love, Service, and the Name of God.

Bhole Baba Ki Jai!
Where the Mother is honored, the Father also Appears.
Om Namah Shivaya
