It is Navraatri time. The most auspicious time for penance and worship of the omnipresent mother. This post is specially to seek her blessings in life.

May the divine mother bless all as she is all merciful, all-powerful, omnipresent. She is the sum total of the energy in the Universe. Every manifestation of power in the universe is She. She is Life, She is Intelligence, She is Love. She is in the universe, yet separate from it. She is a person, and can be seen and known. She can show Herself to us in any form at any moment. The Divine Mother can have form (rupa) and name (nama), or name without form; and as we worship Her in these various aspects, we can rise to Pure Being, having neither form nor name.

I am giving below a part of Durga Saptashati which is also called Devi Sooktam. It can be recited when time is limited. It is culled out from the Panchamadhyaya. the Shlokas from this part can also be selected at will and recited as required. specially for navratri, as we all know first three days are for prayers to shakti roop, next three days for Buddhi and last three days for Lakshmi. These three relevant verses can also be taken for recitation depending upon the time.
