NAVARATRI THE 9 DIVINE NIGHTS OF BLESSINGS

 

 

Navaratri is the worship of the three divine goddesses, Saraswati (Goddess of

learning and speech), Lakshmi (Goddess of wealth and prosperity), and Durga

(Goddess of strength and courage). It is also said to be the battle that

occurred between Goddess Chaamundeshwari and the asura (demon), Mahishaasura.

The battle lasted 9 days and 9 nights. Finally, on the tenth day, Goddess

Chaamundeshwari killed Mahishaasura. This day is known as Vijayadasami.

Vijayadasami means the 10th day of victory.

During the Navaratri or the Nine Nights, the whole of India adores the Mother

and wor¬ships Her with great devotion. On the first three nights, Durga or the

Destructive Aspect of the Mother is worshipped. On the succeeding three nights,

it is the Creative Aspect or Lakshmi that is adored. And, on the last three

nights, the knowledge aspect, or Sarasvati is invoked. The tenth is the Vijaya

Dasami Day or the Day of Victory. There is a special significance in this

arrangement. When the Devi is worshiped by a devotee, She first destroys the

evil propensities that lurk in his mind; then She implants therein, the Daivi

Sampat or the divine qualities conducive to spiritual unfoldment; then She

bestows true knowledge on him; lastly the aspirant attains liberation or victory

over Samsara.

Navaratri is the most suitable occasion in the year to perform intense Sadhana.

These nine days are most sacred. Just imagine the tremendous wave of spiritual

vibration, which should sweep the land when millions of people, all over the

world repeat the names of the Mother and sing Her glories! All the Devas are

ever present in their subtle forms, where the names of Mother are uttered. They

would bless you and help you on. You will receive valuable assistance from

unknown sources, from the Rishis and Siddhas, if you do intense Sadhana during

these nine days.

Following are 9 forms of Mother Durga well known as Navadurga which are to be

worshiped each day with their divine mantra on the occasion of Navaratri.

O Divine Devi who dwells in the hearts of all beings as Mother I salute Thee.

 

 

A child is more familiar with the mother than the father, because she is very

kind, loving, tender, affectionate and looks after the wants of the child. In

the spiritual field also the aspirant or the devotee†" the spiritual child†" has

intimate relationship with Mother Durga than with Father Siva. It behooves,

therefore, that the aspirant should approach the Mother first and that She will

introduce Her spiritual child to the Father for his illumination or

Self-realization.

Mother’s grace is boundless. Her mercy is illimitable. Her knowledge is

infinite. Her power is immeasurable. Her glory is ineffable. Her splendour is

indescribable. She gives you Bhukti or material prosperity and Mukti also

(liberation).
