Navarātri Sadhana & How To Not Get Overwhelmed

Starting yesterday (2nd of October) and going up till around 2:30pm PST today (3rd of October), we are celebrating the first of the nine forms of the Goddess, Śailaputrī, the Daughter of the Mountain.
At 2:30pm PST thereabouts today, we enter into the second day of the moon and into the second phase of worship, centered around Mā in the form of Brahmacāriṇī
And then the next day, we enter into Candraghaṇṭā and so on and so forth until we move through nine aspects of Mā!
Don't get confused about the dates: we're running on a moon calendar so it's the "moon days" that we're observing. For those in America, the previous moon day ends and the next moon day begins sometime in the middle of the solar day. To keep track of all this you can use an online resource like www.drikpancha.... In the left hand upper corner of the screen, in "Pancang for Today", look at "tithi" and you'll see the necessary information!
Anyway, during this time, many will be worshipping Mā by performing pūjās and/or reciting the Chandi, the central text of the Navarātri festival! It is very important to me that you have all the resources you need for doing the sādhanā that is most interesting and appropriate for you and so in this video, I sketch out a few resources on offer, all for free of course, that might be of some service to you. The Kālī Pūjā in 16 steps ritual manual (which you can find on our Patreon) was lovingly created by Shani Deva. Here's the chanting document (was is very much still a work in progress):
Also, after introducing you to some of these resources, we go take a beautiful question from Carl ji about how not to get overwhelmed with all the many resources available! Danta Das ji offers some very beautiful and heartfelt advice on the subject!
What a wonderful discussion and what a wonderful way to kick off Navarātri!
Jai Mā!
