While I was strolling around the area, I met this Grandmother. She kept looking at me and said something in an older form of Marathi with some rarely used Marathi words ‘ तुझं रूप किती सुंदर आहे गं ‘. It translated to “How beautiful you are”. I was taken aback by the use of such a pure form of language in the sweetest way.
Mahagauri is the eighth form among the Navadurga aspects of the Hindu mother goddess Mahadevi. She is worshipped on the eighth day of Navaratri.
The one who worships the goddess gets relief from all the suffering in life. Mahagauri has four arms. Her right arm is in the pose of allaying fear and her right lower hand holds a trident in it. She holds a tambourine in her left upper arm and the lower one is in the form of a blessing.
Mahagauri represents the purest aspect of the Goddess which represents enlightenment. Mahagauri is always calm, pure, serene and beautiful. The grandmother I met is similar to Mahagauri. Her innocence, her smile and her soul are beautiful and she sees the entire world in a beautiful way.
