CRASH!
A flowerpot fell in Veda’s school garden.
“Oh no!” cried her friend Meera. The pot had broken, and a tiny plant lay on the ground.
Meera looked upset. “Our plant will die!”
Veda wanted to help, but she did not know what to do.
The Power of Maa Kushmanda
That morning, Veda had learned about Maa Kushmanda, who is worshipped on the fourth day of Navratri.
According to Hindu tradition, the universe was once filled with darkness. Maa Kushmanda brought light and energy into it with her divine smile.
Veda remembered her teacher’s words, “Maa Kushmanda reminds us that even a small smile can bring hope and happiness.”
Suddenly, Veda had an idea!
A Little Beginning Full of Hope
“Don't worry, Meera! We can save it!” Veda said with a smile.
She found another pot, filled it with soil, and carefully planted the tiny plant again.
Meera smiled too.
Veda was wearing royal blue, the color of Navratri Day 4.
Royal blue represents strength, peace, and confidence.
“Just like Maa Kushmanda gives us strength and hope!” Veda said happily.
Together, the girls watered the plant.
Veda understood that Maa Kushmanda teaches everyone to spread light, hope, and positive energy.
Moral: A little kindness and a happy smile can bring hope and new beginnings.
