sacred first day of Sharadiya Navratri, the holy festival of worshipping

Shakti, salutations at the feet of Adi Shakti Ma Shailaputri. May Ma's

boundless grace infuse self-strength, patience, and positive energy into

everyone's life; may peace, harmony, and prosperity spread across the entire

world; and may every home be illuminated with happiness and auspiciousness. Jai
