ARA-----------------------------The Mother Worship Festival commenced in Friends Colony on the occasion of Sharadiya Navratri worship and the 38th foundation day of Shri Sanatan Shaktipeeth Sansthanam. On this occasion, the recitation of Shri Durga Saptashati was completed with the Kalash Puja. Following this, a satsang program was organized, in which the President of the Sansthan, Acharya Dr. Bharat Bhushan Ji Maharaj, while delivering a sermon, said that Jagadamba is the original nature. She is the creator, protector, and protector of all beings. Mother Durga is the one who brings welfare to all beings and fulfills everyone's wishes. He said that at the beginning of the Mahabharata war, Arjuna worshipped Mother Durga and received the boon of victory. In the Ramayana, Lord Shri Ram prayed to Goddess Durga before the battle with Ravana and received the boon of victory. Lord Krishna had gone to get the Syamantak Mani and was trapped in the cave for many days fighting with the Rishraj Jambavan. Then, under the leadership of Devaki and Vasudeva, the people of Dwarka worshipped Jagadamba Durga through Yagna and at the time of completion of the Yagna, Lord Krishna returned safely to Dwarka with Jambavati. Acharya said that worshipping the Mother with pure and virtuous feelings fulfils all desires and leads to attainment of God. He said that Bhagwati Sita got Lord Shri Ram by worshipping Parvati, who is the first Durga, and the Gopis got Lord Krishna by worshipping Katyayani Bhagwati, the sixth Durga.
