Jai Devi Durga
by Rana Mohip

Navratri is a special period of nine nights where the mother aspect of god is worshipped. The first three days Goddess Durga, the second three days Goddess Lakshmi and the final three days Goddess Saraswati is worshipped. Hindus all over the world celebrate this festival where these three Devis or goddesses is worshipped and given praises. There are few songs that praises all three of them, Jai Devi Durga is one such Bhajan or religious song that does this and is done in a time cycle of 14 beats. I am happy to share this composition with the public.

This song was recorded in October 2020 at Sargam Studios Trinidad on the occasion of Akhand Bhajan 2020 which is a twenty-four hour non-stop bhajan offering that was virtual due to the pandemic. The musicians were:
