NAVRATRAS

Navratras or time of Durgadevi, nine devis / mahkali, mahahalaksmi, mahasarasawati come four times in a year in hindu months (shukla paksha of Magha, Chaitra, Asadh, Ashwini. But in Kaliyuga the present yuga only one / two “Chaitra†and generally “Ashwin†months are observed in India as the fasts are though and cannot be done by fasting. Generally fasts so that body is not harmed by fasting on all nine days is done on “Pratipada†(first day or “Asthami†(eigth day).

 

Devi durga is worshipped in different forms for nine days from pratipada shukla paksh to navami and in ashwin (near September ) same pratipada to navami.

 

Fasts are generally kept for nine days in different potencies either without water, or water, milk, fruits or with one time food at night. This is a period of climatic changes which makes body prone to infections and diseases. Fasting prevents that.

 

Durga saptasati is read in navaratras. “Gita press†has a very good form of “Durga saptashadiâ€.

 

Dana (charity) is done. It is said that if charity (inpurest form, giving seedha or grains to pandit with dakshina). It is said that charity done in this period brings in multiples of lakhs or millions.

 

Strictly no non-veg and onions are taken during this period. Devotee abstains from telling lies, sex, liquor also. navratras are for shakti, bhakti, paap – moksha, material progress.

This is a period of climatic changes which makes body prone to infections and diseases. Fasting prevents that by generating energy that kills germs and give tapas shakti.

Paap mochan, shaap mochan mantras, Kavach, argala, keelak, saptsati path, siddhakunjika is done in every day of navratra.

 

Dana (charity) is done. It is said that if charity (inpurest form, giving seedha or grains to pandit with dakshina). It is said that charity done in this period brings in multiples of lakhs or millions.

 

Strictly no non-veg is consumed in these days , liquior, and onions, garlic, carrots are not taken during this period. Devotee abstains from telling lies, sex, liquor also. Devotee sleeps on floor, doesnt shave for nine days. keeps kalash on pratipada to navami. Devotee should not talk much, do back-biting, say lies , watch read bad literature in these days, if possible “ Devibhagvatam†purana is read in these days.

 

Kanyas (2 to 10 years of girls are fed as they are know as “Kanjaks†with puri, chana, halawa, cloth (RED colour) & dakshina and if the person has any kamana or desire he asks from kanyas after giving them kanjak.

 

On 10th day visarjan of pooja samagri used is done.

 

So observe navratras and do fasting atleast on 1st and eigth day and get shakti, paap nasha, progress, material and money forx months even, for lifes afterwards.

navratra stories tell about blessings of navratras fasts in next births too.
