Shailaputri is the daughter of the Mountain King Himavat and is a manifestation and form of the Hindu mother goddess Mahadevi, representing herself as the pure form of goddess Parvati. She is the first Navadurga venerated during the first day of Navratri and is a reincarnation of Goddess Sati. According to Hindu beliefs, Goddess Shailaputri is an incarnation of Devi Sati. In this incarnation, she was the daughter of King Daksha Prajapati who was the son of Lord Bramha. The festival of Navratri begins with the sacred ritual of Ghatastapana, which is also believed to invoke Goddess Durga. Shailaputri is depicted having a half-moon on her forehead, holding a trident in her right hand, and a lotus in her left while riding Nandi, the bull. In Navratri, recitation of Maa Shailputri Mantra gives peace of mind and keeps away all the evil from your life and makes you healthy, wealthy.

Chaitra Navratri 2023: Rituals,Yoga, Days And Pujas To Perform

Navratri is a significant Hindu festival that is celebrated for nine nights on the Indian subcontinent during autumn. Traditionally, there are four seasonal Navratris, and the Sharada or Shardiya Navratri is celebrated after the monsoon season in remembrance of the Divine Feminine Devi. During this time, Hindus perform the customs and rites of Ghatasthapana and Sandhi Puja, which are considered to be the two most frequently observed muhurtas. Chaitra Navratri 2023 is particularly significant as it falls during the Shardiya Navratri, and Hindus observe the customs and rituals of Ghatasthapana and Sandhi Puja during this time.

The Navratri puja, also known as Vasanta Navratri, is a celebration that honors the sacred feminine Devi or Durga. Devotees worship and honor Divine Durga in her nine forms during this festival. The word "Vasanta" is derived from the Sanskrit language and signifies spring, which is when this Navratri occurs. It takes place during the Chaitra lunar month, which typically falls between March and April after the winter season. In some regions, this festival is celebrated after the spring season, while in others, it is observed after the harvest season. It is also significant as it marks the first day of the Hindu calendar, making it the Hindu New Year according to the Vikram Samvat calendar.

Significance of Chaitra Navratri

Navratri Puja is believed to bring immense wealth and fortune to those who seek the blessings of Goddess Durga. However, there are certain rules that the devotees must follow strictly, which include fasting without consuming grains, maintaining cleanliness, performing aarti and performing Ghatasthapana.

巧遇尼泊爾的達善節 Dashain

一到加德滿都就遇到尼泊爾的大節日，達善節(Dashain)，這是一個一連15天的重要節慶，每個日子有不同的傳統習俗，大概有點類似我們的過年從除夕到初十五，不一定天天都是大日子，但每天都可以有名堂。

達善節比較重要的是第七天到第十天，第七天是Phulpati，我聽說了廣場會有遊行之類的，沒有人搞得清楚幾點，我就照著前人之前的時間，再提早一點去王宮廣場。

坐在廣場某個還算有視野的佛塔，看很多的善男信女，端著盤子放著供品。然後三點之前只等到一小隊，不怎麼起眼的隊伍經過，我當下還有點懷疑，就這樣了嗎？

三點半離開前還正好看到明天要被宰殺的水牛和小羊。

然後就在我剛離開廣場範圍，要踏進巷子的時候，聽到身後不斷有槍響聲，好奇心讓我回頭張望，哈哈！結果這才迎來了真正要等的遊行隊伍。

然後我就跟著人群擠熱鬧去了。

今年的第八天(Maha Ashtami)和第九天(Maha Nawami)是在同一天，是殺牲祭獻的日子，所以我一早就再次趕往王宮廣場，一路上已經可以看到小廟前有人在殺雞了。沿路好不熱鬧。

今天也是塔蕾珠女神廟唯一開放的日子，門口排了不少等待進廟的人群隊伍。

八點之前廣場上已經準備好了獻祭的陣仗，還有昨天看到的牛羊。

接著主祭者進行一些祈福的儀式，劊子手先用大刀切瓜，應該是代表殺牲要開始了。

旁邊的人遷來第一隻羊後，又是給羊祈福灑水灑花的，然後就是看劊子手俐落的刀起刀落，旁邊的槍手配合著時間響槍，一切不過幾秒鐘，就看到士兵拖著沒頭的小羊快速的繞出一個血圈，後面的士兵迅速的在血跡上鋪上沙土。

我本來以為我會害怕的，結果一切流程迅速的讓我都來不及思考，看完第二隻水牛之後，我就離開了。

第十天(Vijaya)是最重要的大日子，把節慶第一天(Ghatasthapana)種下的大麥苗(Jamara)剪下，拿來插在耳後或戴在頭上，再在額頭前點���紅米粒(Tika)。走在路上時，我也看到很多尼瓦人會在家門口祭祀的地方也插上大麥苗。

今天也是家人團聚拜訪親友的時光，還有放風箏、盪鞦韆也是習俗之一。

尼泊爾的月曆，是以當地的曆法為主，所以問當地人哪個節慶是幾號的時候，他們還要對照一下月曆。

Navratri 2024: Subh Muhurat, Fasting Guide, And Durga Mata Avatars | Hi Retails

Navratri, one of the most celebrated Hindu festivals, is a nine-day spiritual journey dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga. Observed twice a year, this festival symbolizes the victory of good over evil and holds immense cultural and religious importance. In this blog, we will dive deep into the Subh muhurat of Navratri, its significance, the nine forms of Durga, fasting rituals, and the special role of brass products and kansa thalis in Navratri rituals.

Subh Muhurat for Navratri 2024

Navratri, starting from October 02, 2024, marks the beginning of a sacred period. According to Hindu traditions, the auspicious time (Subh Muhurat) for Ghatasthapana, the first day ritual, begins between 6:27 AM to 7:48 AM on the first day. This muhurat holds special significance as devotees place kalash, brass or copper pots filled with holy water, symbolizing the universe, on their prayer altars.

Using brass items during this time, like brass water bottles, pooja thali sets, and brass god idols, is considered auspicious, as brass and copper are believed to purify the environment, enhancing the positive energy during the rituals.

The Importance of Navratri

Navratri represents the triumph of righteousness. It commemorates the goddess Durga’s battle against the demon Mahishasura, a powerful force of evil. Each of the nine days signifies different aspects of Goddess Durga, and devotees observe rituals, prayers, and fasting to seek her blessings. During this sacred period, traditional items like kansa thalis and brass pooja items hold significant value, connecting devotees with ancient customs and purifying the energy around.

Many devotees prefer using brass idols for decoration during this period. You can find brass idols of Hindu gods online to decorate your home and enhance the spiritual atmosphere.

Fasting During Navratri: A Spiritual Practice

Navratri fasting is not just a religious duty but also a method of detoxifying the body and mind. Here’s how to do fasting during Navratri:

What to Eat: Devotees typically consume fruits, dairy, and specific grains like buckwheat and water chestnut flour. Drinking water from brass water bottles is believed to keep the body purified.

Spiritual Benefits: Fasting helps in self-discipline and allows devotees to focus on prayer and meditation, helping to connect with the divine. Eating from kansa thalis during this period is said to boost immunity and promote overall health. The Story Behind Navratri The legend of Navratri revolves around Goddess Durga’s battle against Mahishasura, the buffalo demon. Mahishasura was granted a boon that made him invincible, except against a female warrior. His tyranny over the three worlds led to chaos, and the gods sought the help of Goddess Durga. Over nine days, Durga fought relentlessly and, on the tenth day, defeated Mahishasura, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.

This victory is celebrated with fervor, and brass god idols, brass god statues, and decorative pooja items are used to adorn homes and temples in reverence to the goddess.

Nine Avatars of Durga: The Significance of Each Day

Day 1: ShailaputriThe daughter of the mountains, symbolizing strength. Devotees often use a decorated pooja thali to start their prayers on this day.

Day 2: BrahmachariniGoddess of austerity, symbolizing devotion. Fasting on this day while drinking water from a pure brass water bottle enhances inner peace.

Day 3: ChandraghantaThe warrior goddess symbolizes courage and bravery. Traditional aarti plates like decorated aarti thalis are used for puja.

Day 4: KushmandaThe creator of the universe. Brass god idols are ideal for worship on this day, helping to attract positive energy.

Day 5: SkandamataMother of Lord Skanda, symbolizing motherhood. Devotees use pooja thali sets for the rituals.

Day 6: KatyayaniDestroyer of evil, symbolizing protection. A brass idol of Durga is often placed for prayers.

Day 7: Kalaratri Goddess of destruction of negativity. Traditional aarti thalis are used for prayers.

Day 8: MahagauriThe symbol of purity and calmness. A brass idol of Lakshmi is ideal for prayers on this day.

Day 9: Siddhidatri Goddess of supernatural powers, worshipped for blessings. Using a kansa thali during the puja rituals is considered auspicious

The Importance of Brass Products and Kansa Thali in Navratri

Brass and kansa (bronze) have been integral to Hindu rituals for centuries due to their health benefits and spiritual significance. Here’s why they are crucial for Navratri:

Brass Pooja Thalis: A pooja thali set made of brass is essential for offering prayers. Brass is believed to have the power to attract divine energies, making it ideal for worship rituals.

Kansa Thalis: Eating from a kansa thali is recommended during Navratri fasting as it balances the body’s pH levels and improves digestion. These thalis are also used during ceremonial feasts, further connecting devotees to traditional practices.

Brass God Idols: Brass idols of deities such as Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati are revered for their purity and are often placed in homes and temples. Buying brass idols online is convenient for those looking to decorate their spaces with divine statues.

Health Benefits: Drinking water from a brass bottle is known to purify the water and improve health. Using brass and copper items during Navratri enhances the spiritual atmosphere and brings peace and prosperity to the home.

Conclusion

Navratri is more than just a festival; it’s a time to reflect on inner strength, devotion, and purity. Using brass products, from pooja thalis to brass god idols, enhances the sacredness of your rituals and keeps you connected to your cultural roots. This festive season, embrace tradition by using kansa thalis and brass items, which bring both health and spiritual benefits.
