Difference between Chaitra Navratri and Sharad Navratri

Reading time- 5 mins

India, a land of diverse cultures and traditions, celebrates Navratri not once, but twice a year with great enthusiasm and devotion. Navratri, meaning 'nine nights,' is a Hindu festival dedicated to Goddess Durga and her various forms. These two celebrations, Chaitra Navratri and Sharad Navratri, hold unique significance and are observed at different times of the year. In this blog, we'll explore why Navratri is celebrated twice in India and delve into the captivating mythological stories behind the divine forms of Maa Durga.

Chaitra Navratri: Welcoming Spring

Chaitra Navratri falls in the Chaitra month of the Hindu calendar, typically in March or April. This festival marks the beginning of spring when nature awakens, and new life blossoms. During these nine days, devotees pay homage to Goddess Durga and seek her blessings for prosperity and good fortune.

Chaitra Navratri is believed to commemorate the day when Lord Rama, accompanied by his brother Lakshmana and devotee Hanuman, worshiped Goddess Durga to seek her blessings before embarking on his epic journey to rescue his wife, Sita, from the demon king Ravana. It symbolizes the victory of good over evil and the triumph of righteousness. The culmination of Chaitra Navratri is celebrated as Ram Navami.

Sharad Navratri: Celebration of the Harvest

Sharad Navratri, also known as Maha Navratri, is the more widely celebrated of the two. It falls in the lunar month of Ashwin, usually in September or October when the monsoon season ends and the country gears up for the harvest season. This grand festival celebrates the divine feminine and the goddess's prowess in defeating the buffalo demon, Mahishasura.

According to Hindu mythology, Mahishasura was a formidable demon who terrorized the gods. He received a boon from Lord Agni, according to which a woman would only kill him. Unable to defeat him, the gods created Goddess Durga, a symbol of ultimate feminine power. Durga fought Mahishasura for nine days and nights, ultimately slaying him on the tenth day, known as Vijayadashami or Dussehra. Sharad Navratri symbolizes the victory of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and light over darkness. It is the ultimate celebration of divine female energies.

Young girls all over India are worshipped as devotees who believe that the Devi resides in little girls.

Maa Durga is depicted in 9 various forms, each with its own significance and attributes, to defeat the shape-shifting demon: Mahishasura. During Navratri, these forms are celebrated on specific days, known as 'Navadurga.' Let's explore some of the most renowned forms:

Shailaputri: The first form of Durga, she is the daughter of the Himalayas and represents the purity and innocence of nature.

Brahmacharini: She symbolizes the pursuit of knowledge and is often depicted holding a rosary and a water pot.

Chandraghanta: This form represents bravery and courage, as she adorns a crescent moon-shaped ornament on her forehead.

Kushmanda: The creator of the universe, Kushmanda signifies the source of all energy and vitality.

Skandamata: As the mother of Lord Kartikeya, she stands for the power of a mother's love and protection.

Katyayani: This fierce form of Durga is worshiped for her ability to destroy evil forces and protect her devotees.

Kalratri: Depicting the dark side of life, she is a symbol of destruction and liberation from ignorance.

Mahagauri: This form represents purity and is often depicted in white attire, symbolizing peace and serenity.

Siddhidatri: The final form of Durga, Siddhidatri is believed to grant devotees spiritual powers and enlightenment.

Navratri is a spiritually enriching festival that honors the divine feminine. Whether it's the arrival of spring during Chaitra Navratri or the harvest season of Sharad Navratri, both celebrations remind us of the importance of faith, perseverance, and the victory of good over evil. The diverse forms of Maa Durga teach us valuable life lessons and inspire us to live virtuously.

Gujratis celebrate Navratri through vibrant Garba and Dandiya Raas dances, while in Bengal, this festival is celebrated as Durga Puja, which involves worshiping the goddess Durga with grand processions and cultural events. So, they celebrate Navratri, but how it's celebrated varies.

Katyaynai: In this form, Maa Durga takes the form of Maa Katyaynai. She killed the ferocious demon Mahasasur in this avatar. Katyayani is worshipped on the 6th day of Navaratri. 

Kalratri: In this fierce avatar, Maa Durga removed her golden skin and attained the dark avatar to kill Sumbha and Nishumbha. Kalratri puja is performed on the 7th day of Navaratri, or Durga Puja. 

Mahagauri: In this form, Maa Durga is worshipped as Mahagauri on the 8th day of Navaratri. Maa wears only a white dress in this form and she is compared to Conch, Kunda flower, and Moon due to the extravagant fair complexion. 

Siddhidatri: Maa Durga is worshipped as Maa Siddhidatri. She is prayed by Rudra in this form. The puja takes place on the last day, the 9th day of Navaratri for the overall well-being of devotees and the universe. 

This is all about online Durga Puja or the Navaratri celebration. Devotees book slots for performing puja online with full Vedic rituals and customs under the proper guidance of priests. They can participate in the puja through online streaming or visit the puja place with prior notification to the virtual puja authority.

Worship Maa Kaalratri - Durga Devi on the 7th day of Navaratri

🌹 Worship Maa Kaalratri - Durga Devi on the 7th day of Navaratri 🌹

The 7th day of Navaratri is dedicated to Maa Kalratri, the 7th Avtar of Maa Durga. Here, Kaal means time and death and Kaalratri means the One who is the Death of Kaal. Maa Kalratri destroys ignorance and brings light into the dark. Well, this form also depicts the dark side - the super power that creates havoc and removes all things bad and dirty. But to Her devotees, She brings calmness and courage.

Maa Kaalratri has dark complexion. Donkey is Her mount, She has bountiful hair and four hands. One of the two left hands holds a cleaver and the other holds a torch, and the right two hands are in "giving" and "protecting" mudras. She has three eyes emanate rays like lightning and Her necklace is shining like thunder. When She inhales and exhales air, flames appear through Her nostrils. Ganesha advises you to wear Blue, Read and White colour on this day.

Kaalratri is the most fierce one among the nine durgas , simply because she gives the highest realization to her devotee by annihilating his / her mortal limitations and grants them fearlessness. Her fierceness represents her higher intensity , as even her ornaments are nothing else but high voltage electric waves . Highly intense means she gives transcendence to her bhakta easily by making them quickly suffer their accumulation of past mortal karmas.

She is meditated upon in a form with untied long hair , she is digambara or naked as she is the entire cosmos and their can hardly be any clothes made for her as external covering because she is everything . She holds a shinny sword and a Vajra ( thunderbolt ) in left upper and lower hand and abhaya and Vara mudras in right upper and lower hands . She's seated on a gardabh / donkey , which shows that every creature is beloved of Divine Mother . Her face expression is Raudramukhi / fierce with wide big open eyes and a gentle smile on her lips.

🍀. Spiritual Significance 🍀

In Durga Saptashati , Kaalratri is mentioned along with the three spiritual nights . Kaalratri means the night of dissolution. As earlier told her ornaments and body are charged electric waves which reveals that anything which goes close to her will merge / dissolve in her . She'll release them from mortality , hence she grants Moksha or liberation to her devotees . She is also called Shubhankari for the same reason in shastras , as Moksha the highest transcendental liberation which is difficult to experience is granted easily by her . Easy means the fruits of selfless Sadhna will yield auspicious results with her grace.

Maa teaches us that sorrow, pain, decay, destruction and death are unavoidable and cannot be ignored. These are the truths of life and denying them is futile. We must accept their presence and significance to realise the fullness of our being and our potential.

Kaalratri is also called Bhayankari , the dangerous one whose name itself terrorises the demons and all other negative forces. She destroys fear in her devotee's mind and grants them wisdom to cross the ocean of samsara / physical life effortlessly.

🌷Mantra and other Facts Recite the below-mentioned Mantras to get the blessing from the almighty Maa Kalratri.

ॐ देवी कालरात्र्यै नमः

Om Devi Kalaratryai Namah

या देवी सर्वभू‍तेषु माँ कालरात्रि रूपेण संस्थिता। 

नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः
