Youth Empowerment Program - Batch 14
Course completion valedictory
Date - 15th September 2025

"Like the setting sun, we came one day,
Unsure of paths, yet bright in our way.
Step by step, we laughed, we learned,
In hearts and minds, new fires burned.

Moments shared, both loud and still,
Dreams took shape with faith and will.
Lessons deep, and friendships true,
Each day brought something fresh, something new.

Now, like water in the vast blue sea,
We flow with strength and harmony.
Carrying light, wherever we go,
Spreading joy, letting goodness grow.

Batch 14 — the journey ends here,
Yet every end makes a start appear.
With love in hearts and purpose high,
We’ll always rise— beyond the sky.

So here we stand, with gratitude deep,
Memories within us, ours to keep.
Together we learned, together we’ll rise,
Like the morning sun — in endless skies."

Batch 15 wants to thank our Batch 14 seniors for inspiring us... ❤️

Navratri Day 7 🌺🔱

Today we worship Devi Kalaratri, the fiercest form of Shakti, who destroys darkness and removes ignorance. With her unbound hair, blazing eyes, and dark form, she embodies the power of transformation and liberation.

Riding a donkey, she wields a sword and a noose, symbolizing the destruction of fear and negativity. Though terrifying in appearance, she is the compassionate protector who blesses her devotees with courage, clarity, and inner freedom. Residing in the Sahasrara Chakra, she awakens the highest state of consciousness.

॥ ॐ देवी कालरात्र्यै नमः ॥
Aum Devi Kalaratryai Namah

She is the night before dawn, the storm before stillness, the fire that purifies the soul.

Navratri Day 6 🌺🔱

Today we worship Devi Katyayani, the fierce warrior form of Shakti who was born from the collective radiance of the devas to vanquish Mahishasura. She embodies divine justice, courage, and unshakable strength.

Riding a lion, she holds a sword and a lotus, radiating power as well as compassion. Residing in the Ajna Chakra, she awakens higher vision and inner clarity. Her worship removes obstacles, grants righteous victory, and blesses the seeker with spiritual awakening.

॥ ॐ देवी कात्यायन्यै नमः ॥
Aum Devi Katyayanyai Namah

She is the fire that burns injustice, the power that protects truth, the strength that rises unshaken.

During our YEP Batch 15 training, every Sunday began with the sacred Gayatri Havan. This weekly ritual was more than tradition — it was a source of wisdom, clarity, and spiritual strength.

It removed negativity, invoked blessings of Goddess Gayatri, and filled us with positivity that carried through the entire week. ✨ The fire of the havan became a reminder of purity, focus, and divine protection, guiding us in our journey of seva and growth.

Navratri Day 5🌺🔱

On the 5th day of the Navratri, Ma Durga is invoked as Skandamata, the mother of Kumar Kartikeya or Skand Kumar, the elder brother of Lord Ganesh.
Skanda represents the coming together of Jnana Shakti (power of knowledge) and Kriya Shakti (power of righteous action). Skandamata is that form of the Divinity that brings practical wisdom and action together.
The Shiva Tattva is the blissful principle, ever calm and disengaged from action. The Devi Tattva (Mother Divine) is the primordial energy responsible for action and activity in creation.
It is said that the Devi represents the confluence of Iccha Shakti (power of intention), Jnana Shakti (power of knowledge) and Kriya Shakti (power of righteous action). When the Shiva Tattva unites with these three powers, then what emerges is Skanda.
Skandamata represents the very origin of Jnana (knowledge) and Kriya (the principle of action or activity). It can be understood as Kriyatmak Jnana (knowledge in action or action driven by right knowledge).
We often say that the divine is manifest everywhere and is omnipresent; but when you have a difficult situation to deal with in your life in the present moment, what do you do? What knowledge would you use then? In order to resolve the problem, you need to act, you need to put knowledge into action. So, when you take action that is guided by knowledge, it is the Skanda Tattva that manifests. And Goddess Durga is considered as the mother of the Skanda Tattva.

*Symbolistic Description Of Maa Skandamata*
Seated on a lotus, the fair complexioned Ma Skandamata affectionately cradles Her son, the infant Skanda or Kartikeya on Her left thigh with Her right hand. She holds lotuses in Her other two hands and the fourth displays the Abhay mudra. In this form, Mother Divine does not hold any weapon. Her three lustrous eyes radiate maternal love for all Her children. Since she sits on a lotus flower while meditating, taking the name Padmasani, Her fair-complexion earns Her the name' Shubhra'.

Ma Skandamata is extremely protective of Her devotees like Her own children and rides a lion to slay their internal and external demons in the same way. She emp

Navratri Day 4 🌺🔱

On Navratri Day 4, 2025, we honor Maa Kushmanda, the cosmic creator. Her eight arms, wielding lotus, bow, arrow, kamandalu, amrit kalash, japamala, gada, and chakra, symbolize divine authority, purity, and protection. Her radiant smile birthed the universe, embodying vitality. Riding a lioness, she signifies courage. Governing the Anahata chakra, she heals fears, fostering joy. Her yellow hue reflects positivity and energy, inspiring spiritual renewal and strength in devotees. Jai Maa Kushmanda! 🙏

Navratri Day 3 🌺🔱

Today we worship Devi Chandraghanta, the embodiment of divine grace and fierce protection. She is adorned with a crescent moon on her forehead, shining like a bell, from which she derives her name.

Riding a lion, with ten radiant arms carrying weapons and a lotus, she embodies both courage and serenity. Residing in the Manipura Chakra, she awakens inner strength, fearlessness, and the fire to overcome obstacles, while wrapping it in the gentleness of compassion.

॥ ॐ देवी चंद्रघंटायै नमः ॥
Aum Devi Chandraghantayai Namah

She is the fire that destroys darkness, the light that guides warriors, the sound that awakens the soul.
