Summary:
It appears appropriate that I chew over Kshudha or hunger, this first day of Navratri when I undertake fasting on the occasion.

Navratri then is time to rejuvenate yourself inside out. ll Ya Devi Sarva Bhuteshu, Kshudha Rupen Sansthita,Namas Tasyay, Namas Tasyay, Namas Tasyas Namo Namah llActually the entire concept of this prayer is extraordinary. The hoary weaver says that hunger is like a bitch that will keep barking until you give it a morsel..
