These germinated seeds will be immersed in the water at the end of the festival. However, different communities practice different rituals to offer their tribute to Maa Shakti (Goddess of Supreme Power).
On one hand religious people adhere to strict rules, regular visit to temples and austere life during these days; the youth on the other hand remains busy with preparation of garba-dandiya in the day and enjoying it at night.

In most regions of Gujarat, aarti of Goddess Amba precedes garba, thus setting devotion to the goddess as the common aim of the participants. Through the aarti, all participants pursue, consciously or subconsciously, a common goal for the well-being of the whole society. Their thirst for power is channelised and focused into the worship of Shakti, which is power for the common good. This is the first step towards restoration of social health. The sense of separateness must be replaced by the sense of community if Goddess Amba as Shakti the healer is to work for the whole society.

RAILWAY MINISTRY PUT HURDLES TO PERFORM NAVRATRI FOR KERELEAN HINDU PEOPLE…
Paper reports are appearing about how pilgrims from Kerala proceeding to Kollur
Mookambika Temple in Karnataka, during Navratri time are facing difficulties because the Railways are not stopping at Mookambika Road. Hindu organisations should write in advance to the Railways to have stoppage during festival days for all trains on the Konkan rail route. We should also bring pressure from Karnataka MP’s and MLA’s just to show our uncaring Kerala MP’s that we can do without them. If nothing works start a blockade just like other communities do. Keep filing PIL’s and petition the Human Rights Commission, bring pressure from all forums. This is how Christian organisations function. We Hindus need to learn a lot of positive things from the Christians instead of copying beef eating, cutting cakes and blowing out candles.
