Navratri Special: The Story Of Durga And Raktabeejasura By Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

The Ultimate Transformation that happens during Navratri Explained Through The Story Of Raktabeejasura By Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Raktabeeja means in our lives we have certain habits, some samskaars (impressions). As they say, it is in our blood, meaning it is so deeply ingrained, the impression is so deeply imprinted that is called Raktabeejasura. Wherever a drop of blood falls, it appears. You try to destroy one, and a hundred others are born. So this thing that we have in our genes, in our DNA, we need to get rid of it. How? Through meditation, prayer, devotion and divine grace. The samskaras that are embedded deep within need to be uprooted and thrown out. All this is victory and it will not work if we say, ‘first I need to gain victory over the self and then I will go out and serve society.’ They both have to be done together. Your sight should be directed inward as well as outwards. Promote cleanliness, hygiene, and resist dirt and filth. About #Gurudev: World-renowned
