Episode notes
Three Feminine Dimensions
- Navratri celebrates the feminine in three dimensions represented by Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati.
- These correspond to the three gunas: tamas (inertia), rajas (activity) and sattva (dissolution/transcendence).
Earth, Sun, Moon As Qualities
- The earth, sun and moon map to tamas, rajas and sattva respectively, tying cosmic bodies to human nature.
- This links bodily formation and existential qualities to those celestial influences.
Aspirations Match Divine Forms
- Different aspirations align with different feminine forms: power with tamas/Kali, wealth and life with rajas/Lakshmi, and knowledge with sattva/Saraswati.
- Spiritual goals thus influence which aspect of the divine one naturally gravitates toward.
