[Guest guest]

Namaste,

celebrated once a year? also how is it celebrated each month if it

is? any info will be greatly appreciated. also one more question I

have read somewhere that worshiping Kali on Tuesdays at midnight was

very auspicious can anyone verify this also does Kali have 108 names

Check out Devi Mandir's website for the 108 names of Kali.

http://shreemaa.org/bookstore.htm

You will find the 108 names as well as the 1000 names of Kali

in the Kali puja book. There is also a beautiful CD available of

Shree Maa singing the 1000 names of Kali. It is also highly

recommended.

There are 2 major Navaratris celebrated. One is in the fall and

one is in the spring. The fall navaratri begins Oct. 14 and ends

Oct. 21, 2004. There are two smaller ones in winter and

summer. Nava means 9 and ratri means night. Since Navaratri

means 9 nights you can also make your own navarati. You can

start on day 1 of the moon cycle and end on day 9 or you can

start on day 6 of the moon cycle and end on day 15.

Kali puja is good to do on the new moon or no moon called

amavasya. This occurs on day 15 of the dark fortnight or krishna

paksha when the moon is dark. I will check with Shree Maa

about Tuesday at midnight.

Thanks for your inquiry.
