Have you ever thought if there is any similarity between the nine months in the mother’s womb and the nine days of Navratri? Every six months we need nine days to re-live the nine months experience. We all need these nine days to go back to recollect where we came from. These nine days are therefore precious and we must know how to tap in the divine energies by meditating, attending satang, maintaining silence and gaining as much knowledge as we can.
Let us talk about the month by month fetal development and compare it with the day by day development during Navratri.

| 1 | Connection with the mother established | Connection with the Goddess established | Maha Kali |
| 2 | Fetal heart beat is heard; eyes, ears, mouth, bones, hands and toes develop. | We start chanting the divine mantras with every organ of our body. | |

During the weaning from Tamo to the Satva, victory over our own devilish tendencies, Raag-Dwesh, inherent tendencies in our DNA and laziness, takes place.
