1,00,008 Durga Mantra and Havan at Durga Kund
Durga Maa's Divine Protection and Removal of Evil Presence
Durga 5 Brahmin Navratri Begins Special 1,00,008 Durga Mantra and Havan at Durga Kund Durga Maa's Divine Protection and Removal of Evil Presence
welcome the divine protection of Maa Durga on the sacred day of Mahalaya Amavasya.
Mahalaya Amavasya is a day of great spiritual power. It marks the end of Pitru Paksha, the time for honouring our ancestors, and joyfully announces the beginning of Devi Paksha, the fortnight of the Goddess. It is on this special day that devotees believe Maa Durga begins her journey from her heavenly home in Kailash to the earthly realm. This day reminds us of the great Puranic story of how she was manifested from the combined energies of the gods to defeat the demon Mahishasur. Worshipping her on the very day she begins her journey towards us is a powerful way to clear away old sorrows and negative energies, preparing our hearts and homes to receive her full blessings during Navratri.
On this sacred day, a grand Mahapuja will be performed at the revered Durga Kund Temple in Kashi. This place is filled with divine energy because it is believed that Maa Durga herself appeared here to save her dear devotee, Prince Sudarshan, in a great battle. To honour the Goddess on the day she arrives, five learned Brahmins will chant her powerful mantra 1,00,008 times and perform a sacred Havan. When such a large prayer is done in a holy place like Durga Kund on a special day like Mahalaya, it is said to create a huge circle of divine protection, making the prayers very strong.
By joining this puja, your prayers connect with the special energy of Mahalaya, the holiness of the Durga Kund Temple, and the power of over one lakh mantra chants. This ritual is a heartfelt prayer to Maa Durga to build a shield around you and your family. It is a way to ask her to remove all negativity, take away fear of the unknown, and fill your life with her divine light, courage, and peace. You can enter the sacred festival of Navratri with a calm mind and a strong spirit, knowing the Universal Mother is protecting you.
Join this special puja through Sri Mandir on the sacred day of Mahalaya Amavasya. Unite your prayers at the powerful Durga Kund Temple in Kashi and receive Maa Durga’s divine protection to remove all obstacles and invite peace into your life before Navratri begins.
