May the trio of Goddesses shower their collective blessings on humanity.

Happy Navaratri, everyone. It's going to be a good one this year. I can just tell.

Happy Navratri. A Pandal in Kolkata selects a Muslim girl as Devi. Crazy Hindus (See at 1.50).

Watch: Muslim girl worshipped as Goddess Durga on Eid in Kolkata

Coinciding with Eid, a Muslim girl was worshipped as Goddess Durga during Khuti Puja in Kolkata. Khuti Puja is part of Durga Puja celebrations and the organisation associated with the event said it was an attempt to send out a message of communal harmony.

Śubha Navarātri.

oṁ śānti karmaṇi sarvatra tathā duḥsvapna darśanē
grahapīḍāsu cōgrāsu mahātmyaṁ śr̥ṇuyānmama

Loosely: May Goddess Durgā prevent you from seeing bad dreams, experiencing planetary maleficent effects, and bring peace of mind.

 

[Aupmanyav]

Trying to be as close to the Sanskrit original:
śānti karmaṇi sarvatra: There will be peace everywhere
mahātmyaṁ śr̥ṇuyān mama: if one hears my attributes
grahāt + api + (iḍāsu cōgrāsu) ? https://www.learnsanskrit.cc/translate?search=iḍāsu&dir=au
Applying mind unnecessarily, an Aup. speciality, nothing better to do.

Navratri is an opportunity to celebrate, rejoice, and rekindle our spirituality. During Navratri, we celebrate the nine forms of “Goddess Durga or Shakti”, who symbolises purity and divinity, while the depiction of demons like Ravana at her feet represents the five negative Sanskar(vices), including lust, anger, greed, attachment, and ego.. Thus, Navratri serves as an occasion to invoke the deities in our quest to transcend these negative traits and habits.

No, that's very good and appreciated. I wasn't crazy about the translation and "interpretation" the article provided.

OK then, some more: "śānti karmaṇi sarvatra"
[(O Ma!) Bring (karmaṇi - do) peace everywhere].
