  Welcome to the series of Devi Navaratri and chakra activation This is the last article of this series as per my knowledge there are 7 chakras. So I tried my level best to provide the information . Thank you for the support all these days The seventh alankara that is done to Maa Durga is Kalaratri in fact she is also called as Katyayini. Kal means time and ratri means night. She removes darkness and brings light into the life of her devotes. She holds light in one of her four hands which signifies that she is removing the darkness and bringing light in to one’s life. She destroys all the bad and ignorance. She is considered as the fiercest of the all the forms in fact her appearance invokes fear in all of us. there are some arguments that Kaali and kalaratri are different . Maa Kalaratri is described as the goddess who rules the night and day portion of the day. Kalaratri is also described as Shubankari. The one who does good.   Have you noticed one thing? She is very f...

  Welcome to the series of Devi Navaratri and chakra activation Maa Katyayini is the alankara done on the sixth day of Navaratri. According to the puranas she helped while killing Mahishasura. There are very lesser things known about Maa Katyayini. She is described in both Skanda Purana and in Markandeya Purana. She is also known as Adi Parashakti in Amaramoksha. According to vamana purana she is created after the anger that is originated while fighting with Mahishasura. In some puranas it is mentioned that, first for the fear of god and goddess while killing Mahishasura sage Katyaya worshipped mother durga and his daughter became Katyayini. But there is one more version that as Katyayini was the first sage to worship the sixth for of Durga so she got that name Katyayini. Ma Katyayini is one of the most powerful forms of Navadurga it is believed that there are many benefits by worshipping her especially to women. Some of the benefits are 1. Girls who are unmarried will be marri...

  Welcome to the series of Devi Navaratri and chakra activation.   The fifth alankara that is done to Durga is Skandamata. The name itself tells everything. Skandamata mother of Skanda(karthikeya). History of Skandamata: The name itself represents everything. Skanda means Karthikeya and Matha means Mother. She is the mother of Skanda. She is also known as war God. It is said that she took the lead role when there was a huge fight between gods and demons. When we look at the history of Bramhacharini there we came came across a demon named Tarakasura who intelligently escaped death. But he does not know that one or other day he will be definitely killed in the hands of Shiva’s children itself. Now the time had come that son of Skandamata (karthikeya) is going to kill him. Her vehicle is lion and she will be holding his son on the lap. She is the fifth form of Navadurga avatars. She is white and she sits on lotus. She is also called padmasani One who is selflessly devot...

  Welcome to the series of Devi Navaratri and chakra activation. The fourth alankara that is done to Devi is Maa Kushmanda. Maa kushmanda is the creator of universe. The meaning of name is a small energy. She created this universe with the energy she has. When this universe was not created and when it was absolutely dark she created this universe with her smile. In fact it is said in puranas that she also gave energy and light to the sun. There is one intresting story about Maa kushmanda in fact she is different from other Durga avatars.   With her smile and energy she created Mahalakshmi, Mahasarswathi and Mahakali. Mahakali is born from the light that is formed from her left eye.   Maha Lakshmi is born from the third eye of kushmanda she was absolutely beautiful to look. Maha Sarswathi is born from the light of right eye.   She is worshipped on the fourth day of Navartri and it is strongly believed that she is the creator of this universe so she is called Adhisha...

  Welcome to the series of Devi Navaratri and chakras The third alankara that is done to the Devi is Maa Chandraganta. History of Maa Chandraganta: In the last two blogs we have seen how parvathi gets married to Shiva. As we all know that Shiva lives in burial ground and is not that much good looking because he keeps ashes, he wears tiger skin to mention clearly he had   ferocious look. Finally with the will and wish of parents parvathi gets married to Shiva here comes the interesting thing parvathi is daughter of Himavantha and Menaka so imagine how her troop will be during marriage where as Shiva is the person who lives in burial ground. So for the marriage he comes with munis, bhuta, pretha, and pischas. looking at these mother of parvathi Menaka fears a lot and faints. So parvathi in form of Maa Chandraganta appears in front of Shiva and requests Shiva to change his appearance and Shiva changes his appearance and looks like prince. So in the form of Chandraganta De...

Welcome to the series of Devi Navaratri and chakra activation In this blog we will come to know how the second day of Navaratri is linked to the activation of second chakra activation in the body. History of Bramhacharini: The second alankara is Bramhacharini. As parvathi Devi wanted to marry Shiva she asks her parents. But they refuse. She will pray nearly 5000 years for him. But Shiva doesn’t want any other woman in his life. He felt that sati Devi is the only one who can be her life forever and ever and he never got thought of marrying other woman because he loves her that much. There is a small story of parvathi getting married to Shiva. There was a demon and his name was Tarakasur who got boon from lord Shiva that he should never killed by any others except the children of Lord Shiva. There is a logic behind it, Shiva don’t want to marry again so   that he don’t get children so the demon thought that he would never be destroyed and he can rule this world. This was like...
