Vijayadashami Special Chandika Homa and Raksha Kavach Parayanam
To seek the blessings of victory over enemies
Participate in the Vijayadashami Chamundeshwari Temple Special Chandika Homa and Raksha Kavach Parayanam to seek the blessings of victory over enemies
Vijayadashami, also called Dussehra, is one of the most important days of Navratri. It marks the victory of good over evil, as it was on this day that Maa Durga defeated the demon Mahishasura. According to the Puranas, Mahishasura was a demon who received a boon that made him invincible to both gods and humans. With this power, he troubled the heavens and spread fear across the three worlds. The gods prayed to the supreme Mother, who appeared in her fierce form as Mahishasura Mardini. Riding her lion and armed with celestial weapons, she fought a long battle for nine days and finally killed Mahishasura on the tenth day, restoring dharma and balance in the universe. From then on, this day is called Vijayadashami, and she has been worshipped as the symbol of victory of light over darkness and truth over falsehood. Symbolically, Vijayadashami teaches us that no matter how strong negativity or obstacles may appear, the power of dharma and truth will always triumph.
To honor this sacred day, Sri Mandir is conducting a special Chandika Homa and Raksha Kavach Parayanam. Chandika Homa is a powerful fire ritual dedicated to Maa Chandi, the fierce and protective form of Durga. Offerings like ghee, grains, and herbs are offered into the sacred fire along with the chanting of Durga Saptashati verses. This ritual is believed to burn away negativity, destroy obstacles, and grant strength, courage, and victory to devotees. Along with this, the Raksha Kavach Parayanam is performed, where protective mantras and hymns of the Goddess are recited. This creates a divine shield around devotees, guarding them against enemies, evil eye, and harmful influences.
The Swayambhu Chamundeshwari Devi🙏
This puja is being held at the Chamundeshwari Temple in Hyderabad, a sacred place believed to be blessed by the Goddess in her Swayambhu form for at least three centuries. The temple’s origin goes back to a simple anthill shrine under a neem tree, where locals worshipped the village goddess Chowdamma Devi. Over time, devotion to her grew, and in 2012, to serve the increasing number of devotees, a temple was built under the guidance of Sri Sachidananda Saraswathi, the pontiff of Dharmapuri Tapovana Peetadipathi. Today, it stands as a vibrant center of worship where countless devotees seek the blessings of Chamundeshwari Devi for protection, strength, and prosperity.
By joining this Vijayadashami special puja, devotees can invite the fierce energy of Maa Durga into their lives, seeking her blessings for victory over enemies, and lasting peace and protection for their families.
