The divine beings bring peace to India

The last few days are the 'Navaratra' prayer days, we worship the Goddess (Mahishasuramardini) who will kill the demon who was troubling the people. The Goddess represents the mother of all human kind; she brings goodwill in all her forms and delivers us from all suffering. Her triumph of good over evil saves humanity. She is celebrated for all her qualities; and by worshiping her people seek deliverance. She is heralded as the harvest goddess, and she is offered grains of rice symbolizing prosperity, fertility and abundance.On these days people offer each other "prasad" and share the abundant harvest in a symbolic way. Why doesn't this inspire the ministers of India, that we must share the prosperity to survive on this planet? It is by festivals like the 'Navratras'/'Durgapuja' we learn to tolerate the atrocities of man against man, and we keep peace in our hearts.
