1 October 2016, National : Today Navratri started. The first form of divine mother 'Durga' called Shailputri is worshipped all across nation.
The name Shailputri literally translates to daughter(putri) of the mountains(Shail). She is daughter of Himalaya and first among nine Durgas. Shailaputri literally means daughter(putri) of the mountain(shaila). Divine mother Durga was born in the house of Ruler of Mountains “Parvat Raj Himalaya”, so she is called “Shailaputri” means the daughter of mountain. Variously known as Sati Bhavani, Parvati or Hemavati, the daughter of Hemavana - the ruler of the Himalayas.
Shailputri is the absolute form of nature. With a half moon on her forehead, trident in her right hand and lotus in the left, she represents the rock of spiritual standing. Like the mountain ranges she is full of quiet strength and perseverance.
