The Navaratri festival is observed by contemplating on God for ten days, cleansing one's self of all impurities, to experience the Divinity within. The penultimate day of the festival is dedicated to what is termed Aayudha Pooja (worship of weapons). The weapons to be worshipped are the divine powers in man. When the Divine is worshipped in this way, one is bound to progress spiritually. On the contrary, the usual practice now is to treat the Divine and the devotee as separate from each other. This is wrong. The Divine is omnipresent and is in everyone and in every object. This truth has to be realised from the message conveyed by the process of inhalation and exhalation that goes on in everyone 21,600 times in a day. Each act of respiration proclaims the message: So-Ham (I am He). With every breath, the message is proclaimed: "I am God." Realising this oneness, all actions should be done as an act of dedication to the Divine.
