Chaitra Navratri Ashtami–Navami Nav-Kanya Maha Bhoj & Shringar Seva
Kanya Pujan Seva at Katyayani Devi Shaktipeeth for the First Time
🔱 According to the Srimad Bhagavata Purana, during the Dwapar Yuga, the Gopis worshipped Maa Katyayani on the sacred land of this very Uma Katyayani Shaktipeeth in order to receive the blessings of Lord Krishna. As described in the Tantra Chudamani, the place where the hair of Goddess Sati fell became a powerful center of divine energy.
📿Kanya Seva: Serving the Living Forms of the Goddess
The Devi Bhagavata Purana clearly states: “Kumari Pujayed Devim” — meaning girls up to the age of nine are revered as the living manifestation of Maa Durga. Rooted in scriptures like the Devi Bhagavata Purana, this ritual honors the feminine power that sustains the universe and is considered essential for completing Navratri sadhana.
The Markandeya Purana (Durga Saptashati), which narrates the destruction of demons such as Mahishasura, Shumbha, and Nishumbha, forms the foundation of Devi worship. It explains that Shakti even assumed the form of a young girl to destroy the evil forces that troubled the cosmos, highlighting the divine power present in the form of a Kumari.
When even one young girl is honored and nourished, it is believed that the divine consciousness of Jagadamba herself is pleased.
🛕 A Rare Opportunity at the Shaktipeeth
Until now, you may have performed Kanya Pujan in your homes or local temples. But this time, the opportunity is unique. In the divine presence of Maa Katyayani, the presiding Goddess of Braj, young girls will be served food, offered sacred adornments, and given gifts on your behalf at this very sacred land.
