navratri durga path pooja

Since our mama keeps us for nine months in her womb before we're born, we take these nine days of Navratra's to go back to our source. Hinduism is the only religion in the world that has emphasized to such an extent the fatherhood of God. The jubilee is celebrated for nine nights doubly at a time. The first Navratri of the time is known as Chaitra Navratri, as it falls in March-April. The alternate Navratri is held in October-November, which coincides with Durga Pooja. Navratras are celebrated to worship different incorporations and forms of the goddess Durga (Shailaputri, Brahmachari, Chandragha, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, Mahagauri, and Siddhidatri). To please goddess Durga, a 9-day fast period is observed. During Navratri puja, the Durga Sapsati puja and havan with proper procedures and rituals are conducted where each family member gives aahuti and takes blessings from Durga Mata. The Durga puja vidhi and processes need to be duly understood and applied. Thus, a knowledgeable clerk well clued in Vedic shastras and processes is advised. After 8 or 9 days of fasting, Navratra puja is concluded by Ram Navami puja where we perform Kanya puja. Nine youthful girls representing the nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshiped and they're offered Kala chana, halwa, and puri with Dakshina and red chunari as sanjaks.
