For Protection from Negativity, Enemies, and Evil Eye
Navratri Friday Durga Puja Special Durga Nav Chandi Pujan and Havan at Katra Tirtha Kshetra for Protection from Negativity, Enemies, and Evil Eye
✨ The moment one hears the name 'Katra Tirtha,' an image of the Mother's call and colourful glimpses of her court high in the mountains comes to mind. In these foothills lies another temple of Durga Ji, whose glory is unique. This is the Nav Durga Temple of Katra, considered a special center of faith for devotees. This temple is dedicated to the nine forms of Mother Durga, where devotees worship all forms, from Maa Shailputri to Maa Siddhidatri, in one place. The rewards of rituals performed here during Navratri are multiplied manifold. This Friday, the Maa Durga Nav Chandi Pujan and Havan will be performed, which holds the power to eradicate negativity from its roots in one's life.
🌺 Maa Durga Nav Chandi Havan 🌺
During the sacred days of Navratri, the Maa Durga Nav Chandi Havan is an extremely powerful ritual in which the nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshipped according to tradition. The Nav Chandi Paath and Havan, as described in the Vedas and Puranas, provide a path to relief from obstacles, negative energy, and troubles caused by enemies. This ritual can increase happiness, prosperity, and peace in the devotee's home and family. By the grace of the Mother, it is possible to attain self-confidence, courage, and mental stability. Devotees believe that through this sacred havan being held on Chaturthi, the divine power of the Goddess descends directly into life.
🪔 The nine forms of Maa Durga represent nine powers that are worshipped in the Nav Chandi Havan:
1. Shailputri – The goddess of stability and strength, she blesses devotees with progress.
2. Brahmacharini – The symbol of penance, sacrifice, and spiritual practice. She gives devotees a new direction in life.
3. Chandraghanta – The bestower of courage and peace. It is impossible to move forward in life without courage.
4. Kushmanda – The creator of the universe and source of energy, from whom one can find the right direction for success.
5. Skandamata – The goddess of motherhood, protection, and compassion. She provides protection from evil forces.
6. Katyayani – The presiding deity of marriage, love, and good fortune. She determines the direction of love in life.
7. Kalratri – The destroyer of darkness and negative forces, she infuses positivity.
8. Mahagauri – The symbol of purity, prosperity, and beauty. Attaining these three is possible with her grace.
9. Siddhidatri – The goddess of spiritual accomplishments (siddhis), knowledge, and salvation; without knowledge, a person's entire life is incomplete.
🪔 In the Nav Chandi Havan, the blessings of these great powers are obtained by worshipping these nine forms together. Participate in the Nav Chandi Pujan and Havan organized by Sri Mandir and give your life a new direction of change!
