Navaratri Fall 2026 - Day 8: Where is She Not?

Where she is not, she is everywhere, in everything.

There came a moment, I was sitting and This thought just came, floated by where she is not.

She is in those flowers.

She presents herself as those flowers.

She is the one who goes out and picks them.

She is the one who makes arrangements.

She is the one in preparing the puja items.

She is the one who makes the altar.

She is the one who does puja because without her nothing could be accomplished.

What a dance of Mahashakti, play of Mahashakti is all around in this creation.

She is in our happiness, she is in our sorrow.

She is in our challenge and she is the one who enables us to go beyond that challenge.

We are always in her lap.

No matter where we are, no matter what situation we are in, we are always in her sight.

Remembering Ma in our life saves us from despair, saves us from feeling hopeless, helpless.

She enables us to stay grounded.

Today's Mahagauri, who is remembered for her stability, purity, clarity, stillness.

Mahagauri, who sits next to Shiva.

But all those names and attributes, they are not somewhere out there, sitting somewhere.

They're all within us.

Shiva being pure consciousness, Shakti being grounded, stable, still, pure.

Focused.

At the time of meditation, just being, she is very still, very focused, very constant.

The time of action, she takes her different form and dances the dance of destructions.

If you read the Kunjika Stotra, beautiful, all those seed mantras.
