Nava Durga "Poorna" The Symbol of Energy

Siddhidatri Navdurga, ninth and the last aspect of Goddess Durga, is worshiped on the ninth day or Mahanavami day during Durga Navaratri.

Siddhidatri devi is worshiped  to acquire all chakras and spiritual procedures with their attentive sadhanas and develop competency to conquer the  world. In some parts of India to recognize the feminine energy vested in a girl, Kanya Pooja/Kumari Pooja  is also performed on the ninth day that is Navami..This pooja is mainly done to emphasize  that a girl child is as important as boy or the so-called heirs. In a country where a girl child is not even  given an opportunities to survive, we have A 13-year-old girl from Telangana  who fought against all odds and scaled Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, to become the youngest girl in the world to achieve this feat. "Malavath Poorna", daughter of agricultural laborer from Nizamabad district,in Telangana is a Class X student in a government-run social welfare school.

“Each step was dangerous... climbing steep rocks, braving cold waves blowing at a speed of 40 km per hour in minus 40 degree temperature, it was tough, but I did not want to be called a coward,” Poorna said post her successful endeavor. “ It was a great experience. When I reached the top of the mountain, I cried and placed the Indian flag. I prayed and thanked all,” she said.Every one has the power to achieve their dream,they just have to do the Sadhana/ practice to reach there. We should remember that nothing is impossible if we have a will.  Happy Maharnavami .
