Today we know how radio and television broadcasts are transmitted to all parts of the world by radio waves. The observance of the Navarathri celebration is to get rid of the darkness in which man is enveloped, by cultivating the triple purity of thought, word and deed. Kriya Shuddhi (Purity in action) is represented by Dhurga. Lakshmi, who is the embodiment of all prosperity, is represented by the heart. This triple purity is described in Vedantic parlance as Tripurasundari. To secure the grace of the Lord, one has to have purity of the heart, purity in speech and purity in action. When man forgets God and desires to enjoy the benefits of Nature, he becomes ultimately a demon like Ravana who brought about his own destruction. The role of Nature in the creative process is similar. For instance, however good the seeds you may have with you, without planting them in the ground you cannot reap the fruit. However powerful the Lord may be (as the positive pole), there can be no creation without Prakruthi (representing the negative pole). Prakruthi (Nature) and Paramatma (the Omni-Self) are like the negative and positive poles in electricity. On the one hand you need human effort and on the other you have to acquire the grace of the Divine. To acquire the grace of the Lord, man has to offer worship at the outset to Prakruthi.
