Let us eliminate darkness and ignorance, and cultivate virtues like Lord Ram within us.”
Navratri’s Sacred Significance in Indian Culture
Acharya Balkrishna highlighted the special place of Navratri in Indian culture and Sanatan Dharma. He said, “May Maa Bhawani bless everyone with health, prosperity, and joy. Through this nine-day ritual, we offer our prayers to overcome our flaws and negative tendencies. Navratri is a vital part of India’s rich heritage, and it is our duty to preserve its sanctity and scientific essence.”
