Whenever I think of the most powerful and empowered woman, Goddess Durga comes to my mind. She was aggressive when needed and calming and loving when required. The nine nights of Navratri are not merely about dancing to the tunes of garba, it is about invoking the Supreme power. I feel powerful these 9 days, I feel connected. My fasting is also a way of paying tribute to the Goddess. My Goddess is my only refuge, no matter what the distress may be.
I dance like crazy all the 9 nights. My garba is also my way of becoming one with Her. When I perform garba, I feel I exude my true dedication to the Supreme and that is the time when true happiness manifests within, I forget all my worries and just sway to the tunes. This 9-day period is like a sought after period for me every year. I feel positive, rejuvenated, connected to Her as well as closer to myself.
