Day 1- Shailaputri

Shailaputri is the daughter of our tremendous and visionary Himalayan mountains. The day is dedicated to Shailaputri to get inspiration for achieving great heights. Shailaputri inspires and motivates everyone to get the highest possible consciousness of the mind, which is the most challenging battle.

Day 2- Brahmacharini 

Parvati is the form of Brahmacharini, as she had been focused on getting married to Lord Shiva. Brahmacharini explains that women should never get attached to a man's wealth of physical benefits. But she should support and protect their relationship from all kinds of evil. Parvati never lost her focus and trust in Lord Shiva until she finally had him forever.

Day 3- Chandraghanta 

Chandraghanta refers to the form of Parvati when she was married to Lord Shiva. Chandra means moon, and ghanta means bell, which means that, like the moon, the mind is also very restless. It keeps on going from one thought to another. Chandraghanta withholds the power of reason while facing challenges and good times.

Day 4- Kushmanda
