Shree Maa's Navaratri Blessing

[Guest guest]

My beloved children

 

Please accept Happy Navaratri Blessing. I pray to you all and request all of you

to live with the 9 Durgas for these 9 days.

 

Remember the 9 Durgas each day and make your them your best friends.

 

The nine Durgas are Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandra Ganta, Kushmanda, Skanda

Mata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, MahaGauri, and Siddhi Dhaatri.

Shailaputri

 

The first form of Devi Durga is Shailaputri.  She is the daughter of the King of

Mountains - Himalaya. King Himalaya and his wife Menaka perfomed many

austerities and Divine Mother was pleased with them and came down to Earth as

their daughter - Shaila means mountain and putri is daughter. So Divine Mother

took birth as the daughter of the Mountain.  Her vehicle is the Bull and in Her

right hand She holds a Trishul (Trident) and in Her left hand a Lotus flower.

 

In Daksha's yagya, Divine Mother in the form of Sati gave up Her body.  After

that, She took the form of Shailaputri, and once again joined Lord Shiva as His

Divine consort.  Shailaputri is the first of the nine durgas and She is the

Goddess of Inspiration.

 

 

Brahmacharini

 

The meaning of the word " Brahma " is tapasya (austerities). In this form, Mother

holds a japa mala in Her right hand and a kamandalu (water pot) in Her left

hand.  To obtain Lord Shiva, Goddess Brahmacharini did tapasya following the

advice of Narada Muni.  Divine Mother is Maha Shakti (Divine Energy). To obtain

liberation, a seeker worships Divine Mother (Shakti) in the form of

Brahmacharini, and She grants him Brahma Gyaan (knowledge of Brahman). 

Therefore, Her name is Brahmacharini and Her work is to give knowledge of the

Supreme to devotees.  Brahmacharini is the Goddess of Sacred Study.

 

We are living with Brahmacharini today!

 

Chandraganta

 

The third form of Mother is Chandraganta. Chandra means moon and in this form

Mother is cool like a moonbeam.  She provides the highest peace (param shaanti)

and supreme welfare (kalyaan kaari).  Her form is like gold and Her vehicle is

the lion (dharma).  She has ten hands and holds various weapons such as kadga

(sword of wisdom), baan (sharp arrows), trishul (Trident), and padma (Lotus of

Peace).

 

Her worship blesses the seeker with removal of all confusion (paap) and

obstacles.  Chandraganta is the Goddess of the Delight of Practice.
