New Delhi, March 25 (NationPress) On the seventh day of Chaitra Navaratri, which celebrates Goddess Kalratri, Prime Minister Narendra Modi conveyed warm wishes to the people of India.
In a message on X, PM Modi expressed, "I pay my respects to Mother Kalaratri! My heartfelt prayer is that everyone’s life be filled with courage, determination, and success through Her divine blessings."
He remarked, "Worshipping Devi Ma instills fresh confidence in her followers, and Her devotion rejuvenates the spirit of each individual," while sharing a devotional track titled 'Kali Kali Bol Roshona' by Sohini Mukherjee.
Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also shared his thoughts on X, stating, "Maa Kalaratri, the seventh form of the Primordial Power, Maa Durga, eliminates evil and grants auspicious blessings to her followers."
He added, "We beseech Maa Bhagavati for her divine grace to spread happiness, peace, prosperity, and positive energy throughout the universe."
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta also expressed her reverence for Maa Kalratri, calling her the "destroyer of enemies and malevolence."
"This fierce form of Mother, who eradicates darkness, bestows favorable outcomes upon her devotees. Her formidable power equips us with the courage to face every adversity and advance fearlessly," she remarked.
"May Mother's boundless compassion shower happiness, prosperity, and auspiciousness across Delhi," Gupta concluded.
The term "Kaalratri" combines "kaal" (time or death) and "ratri" (night or darkness). Kaalratri thus represents the force that dispels darkness, symbolizing the arrival of light and knowledge.
Goddess Maa Kaalratri is known as the most formidable manifestation, with her dark complexion reflecting her fierce and unwavering nature. She is depicted with four arms, embodying both fear and protection. Her upper right hand grants boons, while her lower right hand provides safety and fearlessness. In her upper left hand, she wields a sword, and in her lower left, she carries an iron club to defeat evil forces.
Navratri is being celebrated nationwide with immense devotion, with countless devotees visiting various temples to offer their prayers.
