Namaste,
It’s
the festival of NAVARATRI and it’s the time for us to learn Wealth Lessons from
the 9 Goddess of this festival.
The
Nava Durga not only helps us in getting Spiritual Wealth but also Financial
Wealth through the financial lessons they impart.
Let’s learn more from each of these 9 Goddesses so that we can achieve all our financial goals and create More Financial Wealth.
Devi Mata
Shailaputri - Day 1
It's the 1st day of Navaratri Dasara and Devi Shailaputri
is the 1st Devi to be worshipped.
Devi Shailaputri was still a teenager when she went out
to play in the grasslands and this led her to fight & kill Demoness Tarika
Like Devi ShailaPutri, we MUST take our first
towards Wealth Creation by taking ACTION.
The first step taken by Devi ShailaPutri can be likened
to initiating savings and investments. These initial actions are crucial in
accumulating the capital necessary for wealth creation.
Don't
just sit around and wait for wealth to come to you. Act towards your goals
every day, even if it's just a small step.
Go ahead and START investing. Start small, stay consistent, and watch your
wealth grow!

DEVI MATA BRAHMACHARINI – DAY 2
Devi Brahmacharini is the 2nd of the 9 Navadurga goddesses
known for her austerity and dedication to her spiritual practice.
Devi Shailaputri shows us that we should make a START somewhere
so that we move towards our goal of Financial Freedom
Once the journey has started…. Devi Brahmacharini with
her quality of austerity, dedication, and self-discipline is saying
that we don't need a lot of
material possessions to be happy and fulfilled. In fact, getting rid of excess
belongings can free up our time, energy, and resources to focus on the things
that are truly important to us.
Devi Brahmacharini is also known for her discipline and
self-control. One way to reduce
financial excesses is to follow a budget. A budget is a plan for how you will
spend your money. It can help you to track your income and expenses so that
you can see where your money is going. Once you know where your money is
going, you can start to make changes to spend it more wisely.
Devi Brahmacharini’s quality of strong Self-Discipline is
a lesson for us to stay focussed on our Long-Term Wealth Creation Goal.
====================================================================
DEVI MATA CHANDRAGHANTA – DAY 3
When Lord Shiva came to marry Devi Parvati bringing with
him Gods, Ghosts, and Aghoris wearing a garland of skulls, many fainted with fear.
To protect Parvati took the form of Devi Chandraghanta forcing Lord Shiva to
change his form to a more charming groom.
Devi Mata Chandraghanta is telling us to be calm and
composed but when needed to show courage to protect our family.
Devi Mata Chandraghanta is vigilant and
changes form quickly.
Likewise, while we as investors should be vigilant
towards news and events that will impact our investments, we should also be
calm but also be courageous to invest MORE during extreme fear in the markets
to take maximum benefit of the low prices.
Mata Chandraghanta is teaching us to ADAPT.
Be ready to adapt to changing conditions and adapt our
investment strategies accordingly. Have the RIGHT ASSET ALLOCATION in
place which balances growth, and value and protects your portfolio during
downturns.
DEVI MATA KUSHMANDA – DAY 4
When the entire universe was in darkness, Devi Kushmanda
seated inside the core of the Sun sported a smile and the light of her smile
created the universe!
Remove your Financial Life Darkness by investing in
INFLATION BEATING ASSETS.
Devi Kushmanda is telling us that LIGHT; Knowledge is the
source of all energy.
Knowledge and wisdom are essential for wealth
creation. In order to create wealth, we need to have a
good understanding of how the world works and how to make money. We also need
to be able to make sound financial decisions and manage our money wisely.
Get educated in Financial Investment or better still, get
in touch with a Financial Expert so that you get the knowledge and light of how
to reap Wealth Benefits with the help of a Good Financial Plan
A Good Financial Plan which includes Life Insurance,
Health Insurance, Retirement, and all other goals lights up your Financial World,
helping you avoid financial accidents and helping you achieve all Financial Goals
including your financial freedom.
DEVI MATA
SKANDAMATA DAY 5
Devi Skandamata is the mother of Karthikeya, and hence when
you worship Devi Skandmata Lord Kartikeya is automatically worshipped as he
is sitting in her Mother’s Lap!
Devi Skandamata's desire to protect her child
Kartikeya is a lesson for us that we too should make sound financial choices
that contribute to securing our children's well-being and future prosperity.
This entails setting aside funds, engaging in strategic
investments, and formulating comprehensive financial strategies aimed at
guaranteeing their education, upbringing, and overall safety.
Besides, we as parents should become Positive Role
Models to our children and also teach them the value of money and instill effective
saving habits.
DEVI MATA
KATYAYANI DAY 6
Mata Katyayani before proceeding to Mysore Hills
to slay the demon Mahishasura, received various weapons from all Gods.
Trident from Lord Shiva,
Sudararshan Chakra from Lord Vishnu,
thunderbolt from Lord Indra,
Mace from Kubera,
Dart from Agni,
a quiver full of Arrows from Surya Deva
Battle Axe from Vishwakarma
and a variety of weapons from other gods.
Armed with this huge variety of weapons, Devi Mata
Katyayani slayed Mahishasura.
Like Devi Mata Katyayani used a variety to slay the demon
Mahishasura, we need to have investments in a variety of assets to slay the demon
called INFLATION.
A Good Asset Allocation will help you beat Inflation consistently.
Asset allocation is the most significant
attribution factor of your overall portfolio returns.
The selection of investments within a particular asset
class is a secondary factor.
Devi
Katyayani grants her devotees BOUNTEOUS WEALTH that does not fade away. She
gives STIRA AASTI.
DEVI MATA
KAALRATI - DAY 7
Devi Mata Kaalratri was furious that each blood drop from RaktaBeej was creating numerous Raktabeej.
Hence started drinking his blood from falling down
Even after killing the demon Raktabeej, Mata Kaalratri's
anger had not subsided, and started killing everyone in front of her.
To stop her, Lord Shiva appeared below her foot.
Seeing her beloved husband, she immediately
left her anger and calmed down.
MATA KAALRATRI is showing us investors to NOT GET
CARRIED AWAY either by way of Fear or Greed.
The way you respond to events in markets can either
nurture your wealth or destroy it.
When markets are volatile, it’s very difficult to stay
rational or disciplined even for successful investors.
Investing is a complex skill that requires both knowledge
and discipline. Even experienced investors can struggle to manage their
emotions and make sound investment decisions.
One way to improve your
investment behavior and habits is to work with a professional financial
advisor. A good advisor can help you develop a personalized investment plan,
set realistic goals, and stay on track.
DEVI MATA
MAHAGAURI - DAY 8
When Devi Parvati assumed the form of KALI and killed
demons Shumbha, Nishumbha.
She had become dark complexioned due to dust, dirt, soil,
and long periods spent in sunlight.
As advised by Brahma, Devi Parvati (Kali) took a bath in Manasarovar
and became fair again.
The Lesson for investors is that ... over a period, in
our portfolio, some wrong investments or underperforming investments would have
crept in and hence a REVIEW and REBALANCING is absolutely necessary.
Just
as Devi Parvati rebalanced herself by taking a bath in Manasarovar turning it into the
white color, you can rebalance your investment portfolio by reviewing
it regularly and making changes as needed. This may involve selling some
investments and buying others to maintain your desired asset allocation.
A Review is a good way to know whether we are on the
right track. An AMG (Advisor/Mentor/Guide) could be a great help
in measuring the achievement of your financial goals in a realistic timeframe.
Moreover, a review by an AMG will help keep the portfolio
healthy by weeding out Underperformers and replacing them with efficient
products/assets.

SIDDHIDHATRI
(CHAMUNDI DEVI) - DAY 9
Siddhi means ‘fulfillment’ or ‘perfection’ and “Datri” means
‘giver’ or ‘awarded’. This Goddess bestows abilities that help achieve success.
Devi Mata Siddhidhatri makes the impossible, possible!
Devi Mata Siddhidhatri reminds us that we are all capable of
achieving our goals, no matter how difficult they may seem.
Devi Siddhidhatri is the goddess of
perfection. Wealth Creation and achieving Financial Freedom is a journey, not a
destination. There will always be room for growth and improvement.
It is important to set realistic goals and to celebrate your progress along the
way. Don't wait until you are perfect to start acting towards your goals.
Making a start, Having the
right Financial Plan hand held by an Investment Expert, regular top-ups,
reviewing once a year, and rebalancing whenever necessary will make all
Financial Goals which seemed impossible in the beginning become Possible!
Friends,
Devi
Mata Durga’s journey through the Navratri festival, representing her
evolution from one form to another, teaches us the importance of perseverance
and determination in wealth creation. Just as she progresses through her
various forms, individuals should remain steadfast in their financial endeavors
and not be discouraged by setbacks.
By
connecting with the 9 goddesses of Navaratri, we can invoke their blessings to
help us achieve our financial goals and create a more prosperous life for
ourselves.
Follow all the points, and
ALL THE VERY BEST
Wishing you all the very best on your Financial
Journey.
