Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 Dear Rick, I have never stayed at the Mandir for the entire 9 days so cannot give you the complete picture. Here is what I can share based on what I know and hope Parvati can fill in the rest. 1) There are two Nava Durga Pujas in the Cosmic Puja but I do not know of any aarti or chalisa unique to each of them. They do have their own mantras - pls refer to Cosmic Puja . 2) AFAIK (As far as I know) , there is a lot of sadhana that happens on these 9 days. People start the chanting as early as 3 am. But all the pujas are done each day - ie no one particular day for Kali, Lakshmi or Saraswati. (In one of the posts Swamiji mentioned "he couldnt decide so he worshipped all of them each day") . There is however a special Chamunda puja (towards the end of Navaratri - not sure of the day) and a Sundar Kand on the 9th day. 3) There is atleast one homa towards the end of Navaratri. 4) All of Chandi Path (either Seedha or the whole nine yards ) is recited on each day. Hope that answered your questions. I have told you all that I know and hope that someone like Parvati or Devnath can modify/clarify further.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 maybe we can schedule some sadhana that coincides with what they are doing[?] , "Latha Nanda" <lathananda> wrote: > Dear Rick, > I have never stayed at the Mandir for the entire 9 days so cannot > give you the complete picture. > > Here is what I can share based on what I know and hope Parvati can > fill in the rest. > > 1) There are two Nava Durga Pujas in the Cosmic Puja but I do not > know of any aarti or chalisa unique to each of them.
