॥ सर्व मंगलं मांगल्ये शिवे सर्वाथ साधिके ।
शरण्येत्र्यंबके गौरी नारायणि नमोस्तुऽते ॥
Spiritual odes to offer Goddess Durga this Navratri would remain vibrant for 8 days only as this time the bright half of the Ashwin lunar month faces a merger of 3rd and 4th Tithi on the 18th October as per the Hindu almanac.
But, the Rarest and prolific combination of this Navratri would be its onset from the 16th October, Tuesday and ending on the next Tuesday itself i.e. on the 23rd October.
This exceptional combination took place 34 Years back in 1978 and would happen again in 2039 after 27 years.
Tuesday also happens to be the most liked day by Goddess Durga according to religious hymns and prayers. Astrologers acclaim this combo very rewarding for spiritual aspirants, chanters and Lord Hanuman’s devotees too as the Mars planet would be in its own zodiac sign and the Saturn would remain in its highest degree of zodiac sign during all the 8 days.
Navratri (Navaratri) is a 9 day festival in Hinduism of the worship of Goddess Durga and entails traditional folk group dances known as Garba & other festivities. Navratri actually means 9 nights in Sanskrit, nava meaning the number ’9′ and ratri meaning ‘nights’.
During these nine nights and ten days, nine forms of Shakti/Devi are worshiped and is celebrated for Goddess Durga, the manifestation of Deity in form of Shakti, which is the representation of power. Navaratri is divided into three-day sets, each devoted to a different aspect of the supreme goddess. T
he first three days are devoted to Durga (to destroy all our vices, impurities, and defects).
The next three day set is devoted to Lakshmi (the giver of spiritual and material wealth), and the last set is devoted to Saraswati (the goddess of wisdom).
The 10th day is commonly referred to as Vijayadashami or Dussehra, which is the day Goddess Durga defeated demons known as Shumbh and NiShumbh. Dussehra is also the day Lord Ram defeated Ravan. The dates of Navaratri are determined according to the lunar calendar.
The Hindu festival of Navaratri is celebrated all around the world, mainly in india .
In the Indian state of Gujarat, Navratri is celebrated with greater attention as it is local culture to participate in the traditional folk dance Garba.
In some Indian communities, people participate in fasts during this season that lasts for the nine days of Navratri. The festival culminates on Mahanavami. On this day, Kanya Puja is performed.
Nine young girls representing the nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshiped. Their feet are washed as a mark of respect for the Goddess and then they are offered new clothes as gifts by the worshiper.
