Chaitra Navratri 2020, Day 6: Devi Katyayani, the goddess who arrived on Earth to protect the devotee

The sixth form of the Feminine Divine is Devi Katyayani. Durga, Shakti, Mata Rani – the
Feminine Divine has arrived on Planet Earth to protect the devotee. Renooji connects us to
the 9 forms of the Goddess through the Navratri. These 9 Nights and 9 Days of worship and
glory. Devi is here – see her, meditate on her form, her energy and her presence during these
auspicious days.

As we connect to Devi Katyayani today we see her in all her splendour. She has descended to
vanquish all demonic energies. Within and Without. Hidden and Seen. Known and Unknown.
The original vanquisher of the Demon King Mahishasura. Devi blesses us today with the
energy of fearlessness. Enhance this connection, says Renooji, and chant the following
mantras,

II ॐ आरोग्यदायी नमः II
II OM AROGYADAYI NAMAHA II

“AROGYADAYI” – The mother who is the granter of good health.

II ॐ सद्गति नमः II
II OM SADGATI NAMAHA II

“SADGATI” – The mother who is always in motion, bestowing Moksha (salvation) – guiding
the soul-self to the highest consciousness of oneness with the Divine, in this life and the next.
II ॐ श्रीं निखिलायै नमः II

II OM  SHRIM NIKHILAAYAI NAMAH II

“SHRIM NIKHILAAYAI” – The form and manifestation of Mahalakshmi that is complete and
resplendent.

Understanding Devi Katyayani

The mantras shared here by Renooji enable and empower our connection with the energies
descending today. In order to understand the form of the Divine Mother today, Renooji was
asked – how do we begin to understand the vastness of the Goddess? And Renooji puts it
beautifully, she says,

“Devi Katyayani” energies are like a big caressing hug of the Goddess Lakshmi. Her
presence during the Navratri allows access to the 21 Realms for all healers, mystics, seers
and devotees. In addition, the energy is very expansive. It is magnificent, what I see – from

The dark to the light, to the dark again. Devi is here to engulf, to give, to shower the golden
light. So, accept and connect to these energies with gratefulness in your hearts.
Meditating on Devi Katyayani

Allow the gentle caress and the loving hugs of the Devi to envelop you.
Visualise, affirm and intend that you are in a cocoon. Knowing that you are safe, loved,
breathing in the bliss and grace. Stretch you arms outwards. Hugging the Devi back and
affirm – I am dancing in the light.” With a smile on your face, get up and dance to the music
of your heart. Listen, for it says –

I am blessed, I am re-born, I am birthing…
