Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered prayers to Maa Katyayani on Shashthi, the sixth day of Navratri, in a Hindi post on X. A second post carried a Sanskrit Subhashitam in praise of Maa Jagadambika. Both were among Prime Minister Narendra Modi's posts on X that day.
In the Hindi post, Modi bowed at the feet of the Goddess and offered "koti-koti naman" (countless salutations) on the sacred Shashthi of Navratri. He wished that, through her compassion and blessings, everyone's life be filled with immense strength, courage and positive energy.
Navratri is a nine-day festival devoted to the worship of the Goddess in her various forms. Maa Katyayani is worshipped on Shashthi, the sixth day.
The second post carried a Sanskrit verse on Maa Jagadambika's divine presence in all words, thoughts and forms. The verse begins "Tava cha kaa kila na stutirambike! Sakalashabdamayee kila te tanuh" and continues "Nikhilamoortishu me bhavadanvayo manasijaasu bahihprasaraasu cha".
The verse says that every word can become an expression of praise for the Goddess, because her divine form encompasses all words and all manifestations. No utterance falls outside her praise, since she is present in every form, whether it arises in the mind or is expressed outwardly.
