Today is the fourth day of Navratri. The goddess that is worshiped today (a form of the goddess Durga) is Kushmanda. She is said to give her devotees success and treasures. It is believed that she has the ability to dwell on the sun and that the radiance on Earth ultimately comes from her.
Many Hindus will be worshipping Khushmanda today in hopes of gaining wealth. More and more Indians are becoming caught up in materialism. Even though Indian spirituality highly values simplicity and renunciation of wealth, many Hindus prefer to seek after wealth. Pray for Hindus to find Jesus as the source of all of their needs! Pray for the Christians of Delhi to share with their Hindu friends and neighbors!
"So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Matthew 6:31-33
