Navaratri – Celebration of Good over Evil

  • 23 February 2023

  • by SmartPuja Desk
Navaratri @ www.smartpuja.com

Navaratri, which means ‘nine nights’ is the most celebrated Hindu festival devoted to Goddess Durga symbolizing purity and power or ‘Shakti’. The festival is celebrated at four different times in a year. Magh Navaratri (aka Gupt Navaratri), Chaitra / Vasant Navaratri (aka Ram Navaratri), Ashad Navaratri and Shardiya Navaratri also known as Maha Navaratri. Shardiya Navaratri is the most important Navaratri and is also called Maha Navaratri or Great Navaratri.

For every night of the Navaratri, nine forms of Goddess Maa Durga – Shailputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skanda Mata, Katyayani, Kalratri, Maha Gauri and Siddhidatri are worshiped by the devotees.

This sloka from the scripture Devi Mahatmyam describes the powers of Great Mother Durga. Shri Devi Durga is mother of all powers and represents the oneness of Lakshmi and Parvati. She gives us material prosperity (bhoga) as Lakshmi. She provides us liberation (moksha) as Parvati. Your prayer goes to the same power,no matter whom you pray,whether it is Lakshmi or Parvati. Shridevi Durga is that power who bestows you with whatever you ask for with complete devotion and faith.

    The ultimate triumph of good over evil

    Navaratri @ www.smartpuja.com

    The festival of Navaratri culminates in Mahanavami. On this day Kanya Puja is performed. Nine young girls representing the nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshiped. The holy festival of Navaratri is an amalgamation of various themes, with the common theme of the victory of good over evil. According to some legends, Vijayadashami or Dusshera is celebrated on the day Lord Ram kills Ravana. Demon king Mahishasura had Lord Brahma’s boon that, he would be unconquerable by any male form. According to a Puranic legend, the mighty demon defeated the gods and their king, Indra. They then approached Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, who decided to destroy the demon.

    So they all combined their energies, and gave rise to Shakti and appealed to Goddess Durga to come to their aid. Durga equipped with lethal weapons and riding a ferocious lion, in all her awesome majesty, destroyed the evil one without much ado. The 10th day, on which the goddess kills Mahishasura, is celebrated as Dusshera or Vijayadashami as the victory of good over evil.

    On the tenth day, the Vijayadasmi day, colossal effigies of Ravana, his brother Kumbhkarna and son Meghnadh are placed in vast open spaces. Rama, accompanied by Sita and his brother Lakshman, arrive and shoot arrows of fire at these effigies. The result is a deafening blast, enhanced by slogans of triumph. On this day in the famous Ramleela grounds in Delhi, huge effigies of the ten-headed demon king Ravana, Meghanath, his son, and Kumbhakarna, his brother, stuffed with explosive materials are torched by an arrow to symbolize the ultimate triumph of good over evil. The burning  of the effigies symbolizes our responsibility to burn the evil within us and thus follow the path of virtue and honesty.
