Sadhguru links post-equinox Navratri to feminine balance
Hindustan Times··30 Sept
Isha Foundation's Sadhguru says Navratri after the autumn equinox aligns with a feminine phase in natural cycles. Navratri begins October 11, 2026, honouring the divine feminine in yogic tradition. He describes masculine and feminine as qualities within everyone, not only gender roles. He says the feminine needs conscious support so receptivity is not overshadowed after the equinox.
