1. Maa Durga Quote
Be courageous and brave to face life’s greatest battles
Message
Life’s greatest battles can be loss, failure, illness, or adversity, but we should face them with courage. The way Maa Shailputri (a form of Maa Durga worshipped on the first day of Navratri) in spite of being a young girl fought the demoness Tarika shows her strength and boldness.
Children, do not run away from difficulties but face them head-on with strength and faith in your ability to overcome them. For example, be strong enough to ask questions in class, be brave enough to see a doctor when ill, and be courageous enough to face a strong opponent in a game.
2. Maa Durga Quote
Commitment, discipline and sacrifice are the ways to move forward in life
Message
This means fully committing to your goal, following a daily routine, sticking with it, and being willing to give up some fun things to reach your goal. We learn from Mata Brahmcharini (a form of Maa Durga worshipped on the second day of Navratri) that discipline and sacrifice lead to success and achievement. Mata Brahmcharini followed an extremely difficult routine of self-control and discipline to achieve her objective.
Children, say you set your objective of being a good singer, then you should be committed towards your goal, follow a disciplined routine and give up on some of your pleasures like watching TV or playing games, to reach your goal.

7. Maa Durga Quote
Fear, ego and negativity are the biggest barriers to success
Message
Fear of failure, rejection, or uncertainty often stops people from taking action. Ego can make people feel arrogant, thinking they don’t need anyone's help. A negative mindset keeps them from seeing possibilities and opportunities. All these things block the path to success.
Children, Maa Kaalratri (a form of Maa Durga worshipped on the seventh day of Navratri) destroyed the ego of the demon Raktbeej. You should never let negative thoughts and ego empower you because it may hinder your success and drive you in the wrong direction.
8. Maa Durga Quote
Compassion and Calmness are powerful attributes of a person
Message
Compassion means the ability to feel and understand the suffering or struggles of others and calmness allows a person to think clearly and make the right decisions. These qualities shape a person’s personality and create a positive environment around him/her. Devi Maha Gauri (a form of Maa Durga worshipped on the eighth day of Navratri) has an aura of compassion, and calmness admired by all beings.
Children, imagine your friend's lunch box falls, and now he has nothing to eat. In that moment, you should show kindness by offering to share your lunch, even if it’s your favourite food. Another example is when you don’t get good grades in exams. Instead of feeling upset, stay calm and think about how you can improve next time.
9. Maa Durga Quote
Eradicate the darkness of ignorance and embrace the brightness of truth and righteousness
Message
Eradicating "darkness" means seeking knowledge and wisdom to illuminate one’s mind and soul. One should live life with honesty and clarity and do the right actions. Maa Siddhidaatri (a form of Maa Durga worshipped on the ninth day of Navratri) blessed Bhagwan Shiv with 18 perfections (Siddhis) like universal justice, universal wisdom, knowledge and fulfilment of right desires.
Children, curiosity and asking questions lead to wisdom and knowledge. So don't hesitate to ask questions about any topic to deepen your understanding and grow your mind. Always strive to live with good moral values as the foundation of your life.
