Receive Divine Mother's
Blessings
this Navaratri
September 28 - October 6, 2011
For devotees of Divine Mother, there is no time of year more precious than Navaratri. According to the lunar calendar of Sanatana Dharma, Navaratri will be celebrated from September 28 - October 6 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.
Sadhana Helps Us to Absorb Divine Energy
Divine Mother 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 Divine Mother make special efforts during Navaratri to obtain her blessings and make excellent spiritual progress.
Spiritual Practices for Navaratri - Guidance from Amma
Over the years, Amma has given much advice about what we can do during Navaratri in order to benefit fully from the powerful energy. Learn more about the divine glory of Navaratri, special days and practices recommended by Amma.
Amma has provided guidance on specific chants and pujas that can be performed. The special pujas invoke the divine blessings of Sri Ganesha as well as our beloved Divine Mother Sri Lalita Devi.
Additionally, devotees can watch the 2007 Navaratri Day by Day video series by Amma.
