Guest guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam October 9th, 2008 Vijaya Dashami Bharatiyas have been celebrating the Navarathri festival from ancient times as a mode of worship of Devi, the Divine as mother. They worship the goddesses Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati during these nine days. The significance of Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati has to be rightly understood. The three goddesses represent the three kinds of potencies in man: Ichchaa Shakti (will power), Kriya Shakti (the power of purposeful action), and Jnana Shakti (the power of discernment). Saraswati is manifest in man as Vaak (the power of speech). Durga is present in the form of energy and dynamism. Lakshmi is manifest in the form of will power. The body indicates purposeful action - Kriya Shakti. The mind is the repository of will power - Ichchaa Shakti. The Atma is the power of discernment - Jnana Shakti. -SAI BABA Sai news Thought for the day archive Wallpapers Pictures Submit your: / Prayer request / Sai experience / Sainews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
