[Guest guest]

Dear members,

 

Navarathiri, a time for celebrating SAKTHI, is fast approaching. Sakthi is

worshiped various parts of India and the world in various forms and methods.

Can the members mail about the ways of celebration of "Navarathiri" in their

place of residence?

Thank you JosephPriya for reminding us.

 

Navarathri falls on 26th September till 18th September (This is based

on the Hindu Calendar in the Malaysia/Singapore )

 

"Navarathiri, a time for celebrating SAKTHI, is fast approaching.

Sakthi is worshiped various parts of India and the world in various

forms and methods."

 

Our respected member chumki have written a very moving experience of

herself as a young girl in Kolkata during Navarathri. The title of

the article is : Girlhood Memories of Durga Puja in Kolkata" .

in their place of residence?

 

In the Singapore and Malaysia where I am familiar with, in the DEVI

temples, they celebrate it grandly, with daily poojas and the chariot

procession on the 10th day of Navarathri. In some temples they

reenact of the scene when Durga Kills the Mahisha, a great demon.

 

If anyone is in KL or plan to come to Malaysia/KL during the

Navarathri period (26th September till 18th September) you could join

in the celebration at Temple of Fine Arts, Brickfield. They are going

to have it in a grand scale with daily performance (classical dance

etc) and prayers.

Namaste,

 

When is Navarathri in Northern India, please? My mandir is oriented

towards Vrindavan, but I cannot speak Hindi or Gurgurati.

 

Thank you,

Thousand apologies, some mistake here. The date should be 26th

September till October 4th. Vijaya Dasami is on 5th October.

Namaste,

 

I guess this also coincides with the Autumn Equinox?
