Essential Message of Navratri: A Short Note and a Prayer

Short Note

There exists both femininity and masculinity within each of us. A perfect balance and harmony between the two creates a true human being. Regardless of our gender, we all have the ability to cultivate a unique blend of both masculine and feminine energies. These energies are less about our physical appearance and more about our true essence, which is revealed through the inner balance of feminine and masculine qualities that we develop through our life experiences.

Feminine energy encompasses traits such as authenticity, nurturing, creativity, cooperation, alignment, procreation, empathy, intuition, and flow. It is essential to nurture and maintain these energies at a harmonious level. The real purpose is to live a gender inclusive harmonious inner and outer lives.

A Prayer on Navratri

Mother Light! the wellspring deep and vast,

Life you bestow, your secrets you retain.

Awaken in my soul, a form recast,

And make me whole, where balance shall remain.

Intuition, be the guiding star,

Let gentle strength inform each word I speak.

In graceful steps, though near or very far,

Take every chance, the courage that I seek.

Soften the places, rigid, cold, and bare,

Let newer narratives begin to bloom.

Let voice of truth ring out upon the air,

Speaking in kindness, banishing all gloom.

Compassion's vessel, burn with fiery grace,

Wisdom's deep roots, Harmony's embrace.
