Prime Minister Narendra Modi began Navratri 2025 by invoking the spirit of devotion and spirituality. Today, on the first day of the festival, he shared a soulful rendition of the bhajan, “Ya Devi Sarv Bhuteshu,” sung by the late Pandit Jasraj, celebrating the festival through music and tradition.
“Navratri is about pure devotion. So many people have encapsulated this devotion through music. Sharing one such soulful rendition by Pandit Jasraj ji,” PM Modi posted on X, adding that he welcomed citizens to share their own bhajan renditions or favourites for him to feature during the nine-day festival.
