Navratri is the Indian festival full of colours, music, dancing and yummy food. It is celebrated in different parts of India in different ways but the essence is the same – it is the celebration of the Goddess or Devi (if you prefer the Indian word).
My conscious mind has always struggled to understand any and all religious festivals regardless of the religion. It befuddles me to understand how the Millennials can so delightedly follow “traditions” and dogma without question when it comes to religion and festivals? Without Introspection? Especially at a time when people are moving in waves towards spirituality and away from organised religion. How can you be aware, educated, exposed to the world through travel, through the internet and yet not see what is right in front of your eyes?
