Sharad Navratri 2021

In India, there are numerous festivals, each with a rich historical basis. One of the most anticipated and an important Hindu festival is Navratri. A nine-day long Hindu festival.  Navratri means 'nine special nights,' and nine forms of Shakti / Devi are worshipped during these nine nights and ten days. The word 'night' is also a symbol of achievement. Dussehra is observed on the eleventh day. The Hindu festival of Navratri occurs four times a year. From Pratipada to the ninth, Pausha, Chaitra, Ashadh, and Ashwin are celebrated.

 

The Story Behind Shardiya Navratri

Brahmaji urged Shri Ram to worship Chandi Devi for killing Ravana and making Goddess pleased during the Lanka war, and according to the law, 108 rare beans were set aside for Chandi Poojan and Havan. Ravan, on the other hand, began Chandi pooja in order to attain immortality.

Through Pawan Dev, Indra Dev informed Shri Ram of this and advised that Chandi Lesson be given in its entirety. Ravan used his enigmatic powers to steal rare kamal-nayan from the seat of worship, interrupting Lord Rama's pooja and causing the Goddess to become enraged.

When Shri Ram realised that obtaining rare Nilkamal was difficult, he remembered that he was also known as Kamal-Nayan Nawkavang Lochan. So why not devote one eye to the mother's worship? And just as Lord Rama was going to remove one eye, Goddess arrived and stopped him. 

During Ravana's worship, Hanuman Ji disguised as a Brahmin child joined Ravan in the ritual. Jaya Devi, Bharati Harinani, a verse from the Brahmins doing Puja, Harini indicates the devotee's suffering, and Karani means agony and suffering. Durga grew enraged and cursed Ravana as a result of this. Ravana, on the other hand, was defeated.
