Sadhguru Explains Spiritual Significance of Navratri 2026 and Fasting Practices
Navratri 2026, observed from October 11 to 19, is traditionally marked by fasting and worship of Goddess Durga. Spiritual leader Sadhguru emphasizes that fasting during these nine days is more than a ritual; it fosters mindfulness, body awareness, and spiritual transformation. He links the festival phases to qualities tamas, rajas, and sattva, encouraging reflection on one’s actions and inner growth. The period culminates with Vijayadashami, symbolizing transcendence beyond these qualities. The Isha Foundation suggests a light, sattvic diet supports this spiritual practice without strict dietary rules.
