Jai Karunamayi!
Navaratri is quickly approaching, and will be celebrated from Sep. 23rd to Oct. 2nd this year. Amma has explained many times that the sacred days of Navaratri are the most important time of the year to worship Divine Mother and receive Her abundant blessings. Amma has also explained that this year, Navaratri will be especially auspicious, due to certain astrological configurations.
Sadhana Helps Us to Absorb Divine Energy
Sri Devi is constantly protecting Her entire Creation with the utmost motherly care and affection, but during Navaratri, She showers the whole world with unimaginably radiant energy. In order to capture this energy and draw it into ourselves, spiritual practices are necessary. As Her grace is fully available during this time, devotees of Sri Devi make special efforts during Navaratri to obtain Her blessings and make excellent spiritual progress.
Over the years, Amma has given much advice about what one can do during Navaratri, so that we can benefit fully from the powerful energy. To learn more about what kinds of practices or mantras are recommended during Navaratri, please visit the Navaratri Guidance page.
In addition, Amma has also given some recommendations for some specific pujas that can be performed this year. The special pujas invoke the divine blessings of Sri Ganesha, to whom this entire year is dedicated, as well as our beloved Divine Mother Sri Lalita Devi.
