Happy Navaratri!

Nine days celebrating the divine feminine begin today

Today is the start of the Nine Days of the Goddess Festival, (‘Nav’ means nine and ‘Ratri’ means nights) celebrating the Mother Goddess Maa Durga.

Navratri is a joyous celebration of divine feminine power, emphasising strength, compassion and protection and the triumph of good over evil.
