Navratri, The Celebration Of Shakti
 |

The ganesh festival is just over and we all were waiting for navratri since then which is one of the important festival in India. It is one of the biggest festival celebrated in India. Navratri, the literal meaning is nine nights. Its a word derived from Sanskrit. These nine days and nights are celebrated by worshipping the manifestations of Goddess Durga. She is the divine power symbolizing the shakti.
The
navratri is celebrated in October but the exact dates are confirmed
every year by lunar calender. Navratri has various stories behind its
celebration. Once upon a time Asuras, the demos rose above the Suras,
gods. They achieved more powers than gods and defeated them under the
leadership of Devil Mashishasur who was a powerful Asur and created a
chaos in the world. All gods were scared for the welfare of the world
hence the ultimate powerful goddess, Maa Durga was born to defeat
him. Their battle went on for the nine days and on the last day, 10th
day Mahishasur was defeated and killed by her so the name is
navaratri because battle went on for nine days. This is also called
as a "Durgotsav".
Navratri
has bigger celebration in Maharashtra, Gujrat and Karnatka. Garba of
Gujrat, Durga puja in West bengal, 'Ravan-dahan' in Karnatka, Ramlila
in Notth India are the best picks of Navratri.
It is
believed that Maa Durga stays with us in these nine days blessing us
happiness and prosperity. The forms of Durga are Shailiputri,
Bramhacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani,
Kalratri, Mahagauri, Siddhidatri. These forms are also known as
Navadurga.
According
to different regions these nine forms are known as with different
names. The various incarnations of Maa durga celebrated in this nine
days are Durga, Bhadrakali, Amba, Annapurna devi, Bhairavi,
Chandika/Chandi, Lalita, Bhavani, Mookambika. Every day has its own
celebration in Navratri. In first three days, Maa kaali which is also
known as Kaali destroy the evil in our homes and souls. In second
three days goddess Laxmi gives us the spiritual health. Laxmii is the
goddess of Wealth. In last three days the goddess Sarswati who is the
goddess of wisdom is worshipped. We all seek for these three aspects.
Ghatasthapna
is done on the very first day. A pot is installed in home and grains
are sowed. A diya is lit throughout the nine days undisturbed. The
pot is a symbol of universe and diya represents the shakti, the pure
and divine power.
The last
day, 10th day is known as Dusshera or Vijayadashmi which has its own
mythological importance and beliefs. More about it in our next post.

Navratri
is the festival of Goddess Durga, we worship the divine power
personified by feminine form. It gives us the message that the true,
unimaginable and abundant form of shakti lies in the feminine form of
god. If she can love and care for you unconditionally, work for you
all the time and seem mild then she also has the tremendous
spellbinding shakti to destroy you. If she can rise and create you
she also has the supreme power to finish you fiercely. And while I am
writing this I remember a role of mother in our lives. We worship the
goddess these nine days wholeheartedly but we actually have been
living with this one form of goddess since the day we are born. She
brings us to the world, protects from all the possible evil things
and loves us no matter what, she is our Mother, our goddess.
Every home
has a living goddess in it working for them, loving them, nurturing
them silently without expecting. Do we worship them? Do we recognize
their sacrifice? Do we say thank you? Do we say "we can live and
win" because of you?
Lets make
a difference this year, lets remember the first living goddess we
come across in our life, lets be thankful for them and worship them
by giving respect they deserve and love that they dont even demand
for. "Shatakoti Pranam" to these goddesses in our homes,
thank you for being our Shakti.
Happy
Navratri to all!

Airport car rental
We all love traveling and those exceptional people who don’t, they either traveled with the wrong company who get bored or they simply didn't plan it well. But obviously this is my opinion but all I can come up with the generalized reason is this only...
We all strive for excellence then let it be simply cooking which started from just heating up and cooking well meat or fruits or vegetables in prehistoric times to now well garnishing methods, making it a five or seven course cuisine meal or let that be being just happy when people used to get just hired in a govt. offices to now where as attending all sort of performance enhancing conferences and being competitive enough for salary raise or better job options ahead. World is changing and so are we; those who don't change and adapt these changes are left behind just what Darwin has stated so in his theory of survival for the fittest for animals in his study of evolution. Our traveling concepts have changed also as with the time, aren't we striving excellence here also by planning it near to perfect so as to cover maximum places to visit in given time and making it more and more comfortable and safer at the same time?
Airlines have provided their services in affordable range for every class and we are using the maximum benefit of that. Traveling by air is often very less time consuming and with leisure. We can utilize the time we take out for traveling in visiting as many places as we can. But what about transportation from airports?? When we sit and plan about our family vacations or business tours or if we are planning the corporate business tour we have to think and plan taking into consideration the minute details. Well I won’t say transportation from airports is a minute detail since airports are generally located at quiet a far distance from the main city.

We can get the cab from airport also but then it might be time consuming to do on the spot without proper knowledge of what other options might be and there are chances that you can get fooled about the rates. These days’ car rental services are doing amazing job by providing us the facility to book a car online. For an example, clear car rental pvt ltd.
They have available in 210+ cities in India. We can book our car which we want by choosing from various options that they give and book it online. Even if we have to cancel our booking by some reason we can do the cancellation free. Their service is in budget and any traveler ranging from ordinary to global corporate travelers. We can book a cab in advance online and a cab will come to pick you up on a scheduled time.
Now why airport car hire services??? Major reason is rental price which airport facilities offer are usually high since they will be adding extra charges and different costs and its always better to compare the options available and decide thoughtfully. But from my side, vote goes to airport car rental services. The extra points for airport car rental services because we can book the car that we want as our cab for pick up and drop service in advance, specially to CCR pvt. Ltd. I can confidently say so about clearrental since we have experienced its service in Mumbai.
So let’s fly away with more experience and knowledge about traveling mediums.
Bon voyage!!!!
Ciao soon with more updates..
