Day 7: Create • Day 8: Serve • Day 9: OfferOnly 3 days remain in Gupta Navratri – a powerful time for sadhana, mantra chanting, Devi worship, and inner transformation. Each of the remaining days carries its own spiritual significance and offers a simple yet meaningful practice. Day 7 – Draw or Color Divine FormsTomorrow, the Moon enters Chitra Nakshatra, the constellation associated with creativity, beauty, and sacred art. One beautiful remedy is to draw or color images of the Divine Mother. You can use Devi mandalas or illustrations of the Mahavidyas and spend a few peaceful minutes coloring or sketching as a form of meditation and devotion. Day 8 – Feed Eight Young Girls (Kanya Puja)On Ashtami, worship the Divine Feminine by offering food to eight unmarried girls, who are traditionally revered as manifestations of the eight forms of Goddess Durga. This simple act of seva is considered highly auspicious and brings the blessings of the Mother Goddess. Day 9 – Perform or Participate in a YagyaNavami is an ideal day for performing a yagya (fire ritual). If you are unable to perform one personally, you can participate in our Das Mahavidya Yagya, where our priests will offer sacred oblations on your behalf. Throughout these final three days, continue your mantra sadhana. You can chant Durga mantras, Varahi mantra, or the mantra of your chosen Mahavidya. See mantras on my website.
