The lion (or tiger) She rides represents Her command over wild instinct, courage and supreme strength.In India, worship of the Goddess holds a tender place because devotees see Her as the Great Mother: compassionate, graceful, and beautiful. Scripture says the universe itself was born from the dust of her feet.A measure of how vast this creative, fearless power is. We call reality is merely the blessings of the Devi. It is in Her creation that we live.It is Her grace that we pray for in these nine days of Navratri. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/094740f0-b021-11f1-94e1-4389fc08cada-rimg-w1114-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg For Navaratri we decorate our idols, offer daily ceremony, ritual, and mantra. We invite divine presence into our own lives. Of the nine nights, one is set aside for ecstatic dance through the joy of Dandiya.Here in Newkirk and Ditmas, this is our third year of bringing Ma Durga home to the neighborhood. At Jalsa, authentic Indian rituals will be performed with a Vedic priest as the top-floor banquet hall becomes a serene temple.
