Kanya Pujan During Navratri
During
Navratri, in our country, we worship little girls (referred to as
kanyakas and the worship is called kanya pujan) on Ashtami. Do you know
why we do this? This is because there is a glimpse of God in the mind of
the child, in their innocence. Shakti (Energy, the feminine aspect of
Divinity) resides there. Everyone has this Shakti, but our desires,
wishes and tensions have enveloped it. If you ask kids as to what they
want, they will effortlessly reply, ‘I don’t want anything’. It is a
spontaneous reply from them. That state when you don’t want anything,
then the blessings that flow out are bound to materialise. That is why
you go to the elders and to the sages to seek blessings from them for
they don’t want anything. ‘I don’t want anything for myself. May
everyone be happy and well’. When people have this state of mind then
their blessings will come true.|| Jai Guru Dev ||
