Connecting with the Divine womb of the Mother for nine days is an infinite gift! 🧡

Join us at Shivananda’s Ashram for Celebrating the Divine Mother, the Great Shakti, the Creator of Life!

SEPTEMBER 22 - OCTOBER 1, 2025

Navaratri is much more than a festival

It is a sacred call, an invitation to immerse oneself in the deep waters of Shakti energy, the universal creative force that dances in the womb of the Divine Mother.

During these nine nights, every cell of our being can vibrate in union with the power, compassion, and wisdom of the Goddess Durga, who manifests herself in infinite forms to transform us.

Imagine being welcomed into the cosmic womb of the Mother, where every fear dissolves and every human limitation is transmuted into divine possibility. Here, Shakti awakens: she is the force that destroys illusions, purifies the heart, and opens the mind to the highest truth.

Each day of Navaratri represents a passage towards the realization of the Self and your connection with the feminine power of creation.

How Navaratri can transform your life?

Connecting with the Divine womb of the Mother for nine days is an infinite gift.

It is a sacred time to regenerate the body, mind, and spirit, to heal old wounds, and rediscover your inner strength. It is an opportunity to be reborn, to see the world with new eyes, to feel the loving support of the Mother in every breath.

It is fundamental as it reconnects you with the source of life itself.

It teaches you to trust the flow, to let yourself be guided by intuition, to recognize the divine in every experience. It opens you to transform your energy, purify your karma, and awaken your divine feminine powers. Liberate, create, celebrate- the gift of Shakti.

During these nine days, let the Divine Mother embrace you, heal you, and uplift you. Offer her all that you are, and in return you will receive the blessing of a new awareness, the strength to face any challenge, and the joy of living in harmony with the Universe.

Jai Mata Di!
Shivananda ❤️

Navaratri Program Of Awakening

We will enter into a deep Sadhana during Navaratri in a program of awakening.

Everything becomes an act of love and surrender, a way to tune into the flow of Shakti pulsing within and outside of us.

On this journey, you open yourself to liberation, allowing the Mother to guide you towards your true nature and see with the eyes of the Divine love of Shakti.

I realized that Shivananda's presence and guidance for all of us to find our true essence. I am deeply grateful for this!

Shivananda has shown me that I can accomplish everything myself, independently and become my True Self in preparation for my mission here on Earth. It was not always easy, but so valuable when you feel you are almost there, precisely because you find the strength to do it yourself.

The second day of Navaratri is dedicated to MAA BRAHMACHARINI, the second form of the Goddess Durga. Brahmacharini is a combination of the words "Brahma", meaning "Absolute" or "Supreme", and "Charini", meaning "one who walks". Therefore, Brahmacharini can be interpreted as "she who walks towards the Absolute".
Brahmacharini represents spiritual ascent and self-control. It is a form of Goddess Durga that embodies discipline, knowledge and wisdom.

Brahmacharini teaches us the importance of disciplining the mind, senses and body to achieve greater spiritual awareness and realization. The practice of Brahmacharya means adopting a balanced lifestyle, avoiding excesses and cultivating virtues such as purity, truth, compassion and respect for oneself and for others. It also means cultivating knowledge and wisdom through study, reflection and meditation.
