What if the courage associated with Lord Hanuman and the fierce strength of Goddess Chandraghanta could help us understand an ancient yogic idea: the power to act even when fear holds us back? In Hindu spiritual traditions, Hanuman represents strength guided by devotion, while Chandraghanta, the third form of Goddess Durga worshipped during Navratri, symbolises courage and protection. Their qualities can be explored alongside the Manipura Chakra, traditionally associated with the navel region, personal will and inner fire. Although this is a symbolic spiritual connection rather than a universally established scriptural doctrine, it offers a meaningful way to reflect on courage, discipline and self-confidence.
