Navaratri is the festival to commemorate the victory of God over Evil. The Embodiment of Divine Power (Para-shakti), in its various manifestations, as Maha-Saraswati (Satwik), as Maha-Lakshmi (Rajasik), and as Maha-Kali (Tamasik) was able to overcome the forces of vice, wickedness and egoism, during the nine-days struggle and finally, on Vijayadashami (the Tenth Day commemorating victory), valedictory worship is done. It’s a festival of thanksgiving. Gratitude is divine; ingratitude is demonic. But, while offering homage of gratitude, you must also try to discover who was killed and who was saved and why. The six enemies of man are eating into his vitals, embedded in his own inner consciousness. They are the demons to be killed. They are lust (kama), anger (krodha), greed (lobha), attachment (moha), pride (mada) and malice (matsarya). They reduce man to the level of a demon. They have to be overpowered and transmuted, by the supreme alchemy of the Divine Urge.
