Navratri and the Shadow Within

Navratri is coming. People see the dancing and the colors, but they miss the real work. It’s not about the festival lights. It’s about the silence you find when the drums stop.

We’re entering a cycle where the goddess strips away the ego. It’s brutal. Most folks don't want to look at the darkness inside, but that’s where the karmic debts live. Rahu doesn’t play nice when you’re hiding from your own truth.

I’ve spent years watching the moon wax and wane. Every year, I clean my space and sit with the parts of myself I usually push aside. You can't outrun your shadow. You just have to sit with it until it stops feeling like a monster.

If you're tracking the exact moments to start your fasts or offerings, check the VedKal app for the right timings. Don't rush the process. Let the nine nights do their work on you. It’s messy, it’s loud, and it’s entirely necessary.

What are you letting go of this time? Don't tell me it's just a diet. Be honest with the void.
