The term Devi represents the Divine power, which has taken a mighty form to suppress the forces of evil and protect righteousness. Whenever the forces of injustice and selfishness grow to frightening proportions, and when people have lost all sense of compassion, God assumes a form of Sakthi (the female divine principle), to destroy the rampant evil. Develop good qualities and cultivate love among the people. Spiritual festivals are meant to promote divine love in us. It is to confer such love on the people that the Lord incarnates on earth. He showers His love on everyone and teaches us how to love. Experience this love and joy in your life and live in peace.
