Devi Puja .. .. ³ Title could be sharannavaratri puuja, or Devi puuja in Navaraatri which falls in the month of ashwiija shuddha day 01 thru day 10 both inclusive. The 10th day is called vijaya dashami, which is auspicious for starting any new venture, starting alphabets for children, learning new languages, music, or for developing new(improved) relationship with your husband or wife or children or office colleagues. This puja falls on the ist day of the month of aashwiija - generally Oct - - from 1st day till 10th day, being celebrated as navaraatri and the tenth day as vijaya dashami. Navratri 2009 dates are from September 19 to September 27, 2009. According to legend, Durga sat on the tip of a needle for nine days, doing a severe penance to destroy the evil Asura Mahisha. On the first three days, she meditated as Herself, the next three days as Mahalakshmi and the last three days as Sarasvati. This signifies progression from tamsik, to rajasik to satvik and eventually obtaining liberation. The tenth day in October is called vijayadasami to signify the victory on the day of dasami. Navaratri is celebrated four times a year. They are Ashada Navaratri, the Sharada Navaratri, the Maha Navaratri and the Vasantha Navaratri. Of these, the Sharada Navaratri of the month of Puratashi and the Vasantha Navaratri of the Vasantha kala are very important. If you refer to the agni purana, then it is said that the Puratashi and Panguni (in Tamil months) i.e. Asvin and Chaitra are like the two jaws of Lord Yama. If one wants to escape the mouth of Yama, then one should celebrate Navaratri on these two occassions. A similar analogy is presented in the devi bhagavatam. Devi bhagavatam also talks in detail on how one should observe fasts, and how one should meditate/work on these days. It is a long tradition that one reads the devi-bhagavatam or the devi mahatmyam (durga saptasati, 700 verses on Durga) during this period. Devi bhagavatam notes that Rama meditated and fasted for nine days after Sita was kidnapped by Ravana. There are numerous such incidents on how people's wishes were granted. You can find much more details in devi bhagavatam. Check List 1. Altar, Deity (statue/photo), 2. Two big brass lamps (with wicks, oil/ghee) 3. Matchbox, Agarbatti 4. Karpoor, Gandha Powder, Kumkum, gopichandan, haldi 5. Sri Mudra (for Sandhyaavandan), Vessel for Tirtha, Yajnopaviita 6. Puujaa Conch, Bell, One aaratii (for Karpoor), Two Aaratiis with wicks 7.

Previous Night, think of the Goddess and mentally decide to perform puujaa the next day. This is the sankalpa. Next day early morning keep the same thoughts of worshipping the Goddess and take a head-bath (if possible an oil-bath). Have some soothing Indian Music (Shehnai or sa.ntuur or sitaar or naadasvaram - preferably any instrumental) going on in the background till the puujaa begins. The music should be pleasing (not too loud) for creating a serene mood. (Of course people should be internally peaceful also!) Wash Kalasha and fill it with clean water upto 3/4 of it. Cover and place it near the altar. Observe Fast (if possible). Decorate the front door, altar and the place near the altar. Invite your relatives, friends (who have bhakti in the Goddess).

.. Devi Puja ..

.. ��³�� �� Title could be sharannavaratri puuja, or Devi puuja in

Navaraatri which falls in the month of ashwiija shuddha day

01 thru day 10 both inclusive. The 10th day is called vijaya

dashami, which is auspicious for starting any new venture,

starting alphabets for children, learning new languages, music,

or for developing new(improved) relationship with

your husband or wife or children or office colleagues.

This puja falls on the ist day of the month of aashwiija -

generally Oct - - from 1st day till 10th day, being celebrated as

navaraatri and the tenth day as vijaya dashami. Navratri 2009

dates are from September 19 to September 27, 2009.

According to legend, Durga sat on the tip of a needle for nine

days, doing a severe penance to destroy the evil Asura

Mahisha. On the first three days, she meditated as Herself, the

next three days as Mahalakshmi and the last three days as

Sarasvati. This signifies progression from tamsik, to rajasik to

satvik and eventually obtaining liberation. The tenth day in

October is called vijayadasami to signify the victory on the

day of dasami.

Navaratri is celebrated four times a year. They are Ashada

Navaratri, the Sharada Navaratri, the Maha Navaratri and the

Vasantha Navaratri. Of these, the Sharada Navaratri of the

month of Puratashi and the Vasantha Navaratri of the

Vasantha kala are very important. If you refer to the agni

purana, then it is said that the Puratashi and Panguni

(in Tamil months) i.e. Asvin and Chaitra are like the two jaws

of Lord Yama. If one wants to escape the mouth of Yama,

then one should celebrate Navaratri on these two occassions.

A similar analogy is presented in the devi bhagavatam. Devi

bhagavatam also talks in detail on how one should

observe fasts, and how one should meditate/work on these

days.

It is a long tradition that one reads the devi-bhagavatam or the

devi mahatmyam (durga saptasati, 700 verses on Durga)

during this period.

Devi bhagavatam notes that Rama meditated and fasted for

nine days after Sita was kidnapped by Ravana. There are

numerous such incidents on how people's wishes were

granted. You can find much more details in devi bhagavatam.

(Sip one spoon of water after each mantra.

Take a little water from the vessel for worship with an offering

spoon onto his palm and sip it. This is called achaman. Just as

bathing causes external purification, partaking water in this

way is responsible for internal purification. This act is

repeated thrice. Thus physical, psychological and spiritual,

internal purification is brought about.) .³���-��

Normally, the arati is done just after

we chant the slokas for mahaa niraajana and

karpura deepa. All the devotees sing the arati

bhajan, while one by one each person comes

and gives arati. The arati plate normally has

5 small diyas (with cotton balls dipped in oil

and with a fine tiri -end). Some kumukum and

flowers should also be kept in the plate. The

arati is done at the puja altar, accompanied by

the ghanta (bell) and once everyone completes

the arati, we take it to the regular altar

(assuming these are different), show it there,

come back and offer arati to the bell. We also

offer kumkum and flowers to the bell, prostrate

and then offer the arati to the devotees.

Here, all pujas are attended by minimum 40 to

max 100+. So we have one or 2 aratis depending

on the size of the crowd. Since this takes a lot

of time, while the devotees offer the arati, the

people who are doing the puja complete all other

slokas upto the mantra pushpam. Once the arati is

over we chant the mantra pushpam after which

everybody offers akshata or flowers.

After the visarjana puja, we offer a karpura arati

in a similar fashion. || �� �� (���³ F�G³; ||
