Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 Vasantha Navaratri !!! On the eve of the Vasantha Navaratri starting tomorrow, I wish all the members Shub Kamnayen !!! There are five Navarathris devoted to the worship of MAA. 1. Sharad Navaratri- This is the Navaratri, which is celebrated during Sharad Ruthu (Sept-Oct). This is also called Maha Navaratri. Sharad became Sharada in some places. This celebrates slaying of Mahishasura by MAA. Observed in Most parts of India - especially in the East and South. In South India some observe it as slaying of Bandasura. 2.Vasantha Navaratri- This is celebrated during Vasantha Ruthu (March- April). This Navaratri is celebrated in North India. Vaishno Devi temple in Jammu observes Navaratri during this period. 3. Ashada Navaratri- This Navaratri is particularly important for all Upasakas of MAA VARAHI- Celebrated in July-August. This is called Guhya Navaratri in Himachal Pradesh. 4. Vanni Navaratri- Celebrated in the forest under a Vanni tree. I assume it is mainly for MAA VANADURGA. I do not know whether this is being celebrated now (Nov-Dec). 5. I have heard of a fifth Navaratri- but so far nobody has been able to throw light on this. I shall be glad if any of the readers can advise me about this. The Navarathris are very important for all Sakthas. The Navarathris are special periods during which prayers to MAA have enhanced effect. Let us pray to MAA for her Blessings. Jai MAA KAALI !!!

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2002 Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 Dear Family Navaratri greetings First of all I would like to express how much I enjoy being a part of this family. The present war torn situation in some parts of the world no doubt bothers a lot of us. I have a suggestion. As all devi bhakts we could as a family pray for world peace and for all those suffering on one day during thisperiod of navaratri, synchronising the most suitable times as we are scattered all over the world. The other reason for this suggestion is (well a lateral thought again).: In kalyug good and evil takes different forms, whilst evil forces are bound by the common cause of perpetuating evil, there is a strong cohesiveness of purpose for them. The good people on the other hand are scattered all over and because of their own circumstances are plagued with their own personal battles and challenges( kalyug trials of good forces). So the thought here is if on one day during this navaratri we all pray for one hour at the same time (open to suggestions on what this should be but I think the most simple one line chant for simplicity) and release that goodness, energy out into the macrcosm and microcosm!! It is almost like an empowerment exercise, say like 500 people doing a yagna, a modern day one!! Just a thought again!!! _______________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure the energy generated will flow through our beings and will be released into the universe.
