Navratri Quotes

A real story from Konni, Pathanamthitta, Kerala:
A BPL family got water connection. Everyone was happy . The tap never gave any water after initial testing but after 3-4 months a bill of Rs. 480/- came in June 2024. The poor widow lady went to the local water office to complain that she had received a water bill showing meter reading zero. She also told authorities that being a BPL family she was told that no water bill will come.

The officials told her that her connection is yet to be converted to BPL and thus she has to pay the bill. They told that the connection will be converted to BPL in January 2025. Further, they directed her to an engineer. The engineer confirmed that as the water tank is still under construction so no water has been supplied to her as reflected in zero meter reading.

The lady asked them that she wants to surrender the water connection to which the officials told her that then she needs to pay panchayat penalty for agreeing to a water connection and then surrendering it. They told her that they will temporarily disconnect the connection but in case the meter reading will reflect any usage then she will face water theft charges.

लाल रंग की चुनरी से सजा माँ का दरबार;
हर्षित हुआ संसार !
नन्हें नन्हें क़दमों से, माँ आये आपके द्वार;
मुबारक हो आपको नवरात्री का त्योहार!
शुभ नवरात्री!
जय माता दी...!!!

Darshan karlo jot nuraani mein
kal-kal behti ganga ke paani mein
kanjak ke charno mein maa rehti
tulsi roop mein sab dukh har leti
gau sewa se moksha fal deti..

थोड़ी भक्ति माँ सबको दे दो
सुनें सदा तेरा गुण - गान
चलते-चलते तक ना जाएँ
बच्चों का भी रखना ध्यान..

Thodi bhakti Maa sabko de do
sunein sada tera gun - gaan
chalte-chalte thak naa jaayein
bachchon ka bhi rakhna dhyaan..

गाये कोयल, नाचे मोर
जय माँ का गूंजे नभ में शोर
आओ भक्तों कर लो गुणगान
जीवन मृत्यु का है दूजा नाम..
शुभ नवरात्रि..!

Pyaar ka tarana uphaar ho,
khushiyon ka nazrana beshumaar ho,
na rahe kisi gham ka ehsaas,
aisa navratri utsav is saal ho..
Haapy Navratri..!!

हैं तेरे एहसान हज़ारों, मेरी झोली है हर-दम खाली माँ
मेरे गीतों में हो तेरी ही धुन, करो बस इतना उपकार हे माँ..

Hain tere ehsaan hazaaron
meri jholi hai har dam khaali Maa
mere geeton mein ho teri hi dhun
karo bas itna upkaar he Maa..
