NAVRATRE POOJA IN SHANI DHAAM

March 24, 2009

27 March to 4 April 2009

Navratre is one of the holy festivals of hinduism. It is a festival of nine

nights, during which we worship goddess of shakti.

When the supreme being begins to manifest its cosmic energy, it is variously

known as Sakti, Devi or Divine Mother, who assumes many forms according to the

tasks to be preformed by her. She is also known as Durga, Lakshmi or Sarawati in

her destructive, protective, and knowledge giving roles respectively. These

three aspects of the Divine Mother are worshipped during Devi Navaratri puja,

the nine nights.

Navratri festival is observed twice a year, once in the month of Chaitra and

then in Aswayuja. It lasts for nine days in honour of the nine manifestations of

Durga. During Navaratri (the word literally means " nine nights " ) devotees of

Durga observe a fast. Brahmins are fed and prayers are offered for the

protection of health and property.

Durga or the destructive aspect of the divine mother is worshipped during the

first three nights. On the succeeding three knights, her protective aspect of

Lakshmi and on the last three nights, her knowledge aspect or Saraswati are

worshipped. The significance of this order is that first durga destroys all the

evil propensities lurking in the minds of her devotees; then lakshmi implants

divine qualities in the devotees' minds and finally saraswati bestows true

knowledge to her devotees. The tenth day known as Vijaya Dasami, commemorates

the victory of knowledge over ignorance of goodness over evil.
