From Rituals to Realisation: The Spirit of Navratri

The Free Press Journal - Mumbai

September 25, 2025

Rajyogi Brahma Kumar Nikunj Ji

India is known for its rich cultural heritage and festivals that are celebrated with unmatched zeal and enthusiasm.

Yet, amidst the joy and grandeur, very few pause to ask, ‘What timeless wisdom do these festivals carry?” One festival that exemplifies this is the Navratri, the nine-day celebration of the divine feminine, observed from the first day of Ashwin month, also known as the Navadurga Mahotsav. For centuries, this festival has been celebrated with devotion and enthusiasm, yet the true significance behind its stories, rituals, and practices often goes unnoticed.
