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.
