HINDU FASTS & FESTIVALS : 3-1-4.



3. Durga Puja or Navaratri :

1.The presiding Deity over Creation and Dissolution-4.

Therefore adhere to this arrangement; your efforts will be crowned with sure success.

This is your path.

As you destroy one evil quality, develop the virtue opposite to it.

By this process you will soon bring yourself up to that perfection which will culminate in identity with the Self which is your goal.

Then all knowledge will be yours :

you will be omniscient, omnipotent and you will feel your omnipresence.

You will see your Self in all.

You will have achieved eternal victory over the wheel of births and deaths, over the demon of worldliness.

No more pain, no more misery, no more birth, no more death!

Victory, victory be yours!

Swami Sivananda
