Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Namaste DB, Are you sure it's today? I don't find a lot of info on the 'net but most links point to March/April as the time for this festival. Also, do you have info or a link on the best way to observe this?

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi Paulie: It's Magha Navratri, which is the festival of Matangi. The best-known aspect of this festival is the last five days, or Vasant Panchami (this year beginning Feb 11), which is dedicated to Saraswati: http://hinduism.about.com/library/weekly/aa020700.htm You are correct to say that Vasant (Spring) Navratri usually refers to Chaitra Navratri, which falls in March/April and is dedicated to Lalita. But Magha Navratri is also a Vasant Navratri. Best way to observe either is to do lots of japa, devotional reading, pujas if you know how. The effects of any of these are magnified during this time. aim mAtangyai namaH , " prainbow61 " <paulie-rainbow wrote: > > Namaste DB, > > Are you sure it's today?
