🌹 As we enter the nine sacred nights of Navaratri this evening, I find myself feeling deeply grateful.
~
Holding this beautiful October 2026 devotional companion, Navaratri: Nine Nights of the Mother, written by our beautiful teacher and sister Kristin Marshall feels like holding a little piece of a prayer answered.
~
This is perhaps my fifth year in devotion to Navaratri under Kristin Marshall beautiful care, and each year I find myself returning to this sacred space with an open heart. The depth of devotion, the wisdom of the Jyotisā, and the way Kristin holds this space with such tenderness, care and inclusion is something I am profoundly grateful for.
~
Over the years, this devotional companion has become a beautiful pathway into the teachings, the prayers and the unfolding of the nine nights. A space to pause, to listen, to learn, to deepen our devotion and to sit in the presence of the Divine Mother.
~
Tonight, we begin with the Prayer to Mother, opening our hearts as we step into these nine nights of reverence, reflection and devotion.
~
Sister Kristin Marshall , thank you for the years of devotion you have poured into these teachings and for the beautiful space you continue to hold for us. Thank you for the wisdom, the invitation and the gentle reminder that devotion is something we live, breathe and return to.
~
Tonight, we begin again.
Nine nights of the Mother.
Nine nights of listening, learning and devotion.
Nine nights of returning to the sacred.
With an open heart and deep gratitude, I enter these nine nights.
Jai Ma. 🌹
