By Sri Sri Ravi ShankarThe festival of Navratri is a time for self-referral and getting back to the Source. During this time of transformation, nature sheds the old and gets rejuvenated. Realising this aspect of the Mother Divine in entire creation, leads one to a deep state of samadhi. The seeker gets back to the true Source through fasting, prayer, silence and meditation. While fasting detoxifies the body, silence purifies the speech and brings rest to the chattering mind, and meditation takes one deep into one’s own being.
