"Children, Navarātri is an occasion for worshiping Paraśakti—the Almighty Goddess who is the cause of the universe. Navarātri is a time for vows, austerities and worship. The ways of worshiping vary from place to place. In some places, a different aspect of Devī is worshiped on each day. In other places, She is worshiped as Kālī or Durgā during the first three days, as Lakṣmī in the next three days, and as Sarasvatī in the last three days. In yet other places, the worship is performed only during the last three days. Negativities such as excessive sleepiness, sloth, lust, anger, pride, envy, impatience and a lack of faith are obstacles to doing spiritual practices and making spiritual progress. Conquering them through spiritual practices and thus attaining true fulfillment—this is the principle Navarātri conveys. Moreover, through prayer, one gains power, auspiciousness and knowledge. Through vows, we can increase our willpower and gain greater self-control. Vijayadaśamī marks the successful completion of this occasion." ––Amma (Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi)
