Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 SIGNIFICANCE OF NAVARATRI …… " The ten days are the development of the Primordial energy form of Shakti. On each day its potentiality and functional attributes increase. On the last day it becomes Durga - the highest form of power or the Shakti of Parameswar. Thereafter, creation proceeds at a faster pace after evil forces restricting the evolution are destroyed. Some body should explain this to devotees on these days so that they understand the significance of the deity and their roles. This can be done on the 8th day that is Ashtami. The Pooja of Gayatri Mata should be done separately in accordance with this principle, as Gayatri is the mother of Bramha, Vishnu, and Maheshwar - all in one. If Devi mantra is not known then Gayatri Mantra will do and should be recited on the 8th day. Gayatri Yagnam should be conducted in the temple. Devotees should avoid negative thoughts and negative actions during the period. They should speak as little as possible and desist from physical contacts. They should do as much charity as possible in terms of feeding the poor, helping the needy and serving the sick. In the temple, Naam Japa, Bhandara etc are good actions. " …….
