Importance of Chaitra Navratri

Chaitra Navratri is also called Ram Navratri sometimes. Devotees worship Maa Shakti, Goddess of cosmic power, during this time and wish to be bestowed by divine benediction from Goddess. Goddess Shakti manifests herself in three different dimensions as Goddess Laxmi, Saraswati and Durga. Those who worship the Goddess without any negativity, get freedom from all bondages.

Navratri & Tantra

The period of Navratri is considered to be very significant and fruitful for Tantric practices. It is said that one achieves great Tantric powers with comparatively little efforts during this period of Navratri. The cosmic motherly power blesses the staunch worshipers who fathom mysterious ways of Tantra and practice it correctly. Those who worship Goddess in or around Shakti Peetha (special Shakti temples) harvest great rewards even faster.

People all around the country engage themselves in the celebrations of Navratri and perform Dandiya all the nine days. The devotion shown toward the Almighty by the devotees is extremely appreciable. By getting indulged in the service of Maa Durga, people find a way that leads to satisfaction and happiness.

Take the name of Maa Durga with no greed in heart during the Navratri and get blessed with profound happiness.
