‘Nava’ means ‘nine’ and ‘ratri’ is made up of ‘ra’ which also means
‘night’ and ‘tri’ meaning the three aspects of our life – body, mind and
soul. There are three types of botherations or problems that may affect
a person – physical, mental and spiritual. That which gives you relief
from all these difficulties is ‘ratri’. ‘Ratri’ or night relieves you of
misery and brings comfort. The night relaxes everybody; whether happy,
unhappy or miserable, everybody goes to sleep.
The nine-day period of Navaratri is marked by a series of Yagna and
Homas. These Yagnas nullify all the misery, sorrow and pain in the
world. Each day of this nine-day period has special implications and
yagnas and homas are performed accordingly. In life, there are positive
and negative qualities that affect us.
Navaratri is a time when the Art of Living ashram is full of people from all over the world. Be part of Navratri 2015 celebrations.
