Navaratri 2006
During the Navarathri festival, we hold prayers for nine days which are dedicated to the Divine Mother. On the last day, we serve food to all the people who attend the prayers. In the year 2006, we prepared the food as usual, but we were only expecting about 300 people to attend. To our surprise we found that on that day 600 people arrived for the prayer. The people who had prepared the food told me that the food would never be enough to feed all these people. I felt really ashamed and had no idea what to do. My sister, together with some other people started to pray, asking Swami for His help. As always with the Divine, help was sent! The food turned out to be more than sufficient for all the people there, and some even had more than one serving! We even had a small amount of food left over!
