A few knows that there are 12 Shiv Ratris in a year. In the same way there are 4 seasonal Navratri in a year, which are Magha Gupt Navratri, Chaitra Navratri, Shardiya Navratri and Asadha Gupt Navratri.
From today, 13th April, we begin 9 days celebration of 9 form of the Goddess Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kaalratri, Mahagauri and Siddhidhatri. Also Chaitra Navratri celebrates ten forms of Maa Shakti namely Durga, Bhadrakali, Jagadamba, Annapurna, Sarvamangala, Bhairavi, Chandika, Lalita, Bhavani and Mookambika.
Chaitra Navratri begins on the first day of Hindu Luni-Solar calendar that is Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra and Ugadi in Andhra Pradesh. The nine-day festival ends on Rama Navami, Lord Rama’s birthday. source: https://www.freepressjournal.in/cmcm/chaitra-na...
Legend Behind the celebration
Koshal King Dushibago, husband of Queen Manorama was killed and Prince Sudarshan was set to be crowned. King Yudhajit of Ujjain, the father of Queen Lilavati, and grandfather of Satrujit wanted the throne for Satrujit. King Virasena of Kalinga, the father of Queen Manorama, did not give their consent.
Both the kings fought and king Virasena got killed in action. But fate had another twist. Son Sudarshan and Manorama, daughter of Virasena, took shelter under Sage Bharadwaj along with a kinnara.
In the meanwhile, Satrujit, son of King Yudhajit, became king of Kosala. They discovered the situation at the Sage’s ashram and planned to attack him. But minister restrained them from doing so.
Sudarshan heard that son of a hermit calling the Kinnara as Kleeba (neither woman nor man), and he got the first syllable of the word, i.e. Kli. He pronounced it as Kleem. He did it unwittingly but it was a powerful mantra of Goddess. He kept on chanting it and Maa Shakti gave him strength, power, an inexhaustible quiver along with a lot of knowledge.
He got spotted by royal people of Banaras. And he was recommended as a suiter to Shashikala, princess of Banaras.
As usual a Swayamvar ( bride chooses her husband) was arranged and Sashikala chose Sudarshan. Yudhajit annouced war on king of Banaras. And Yudhajit also mocked Goddess. Sudarshan and King of Banaras came victorious with the aid of Goddess.
To honor Goddess, Sudarshan, along with others, aranged a Yagnya to honor Goddess. And this is the legend behind Chaitra Navratri. 🙏🙏🙏

Happy Chaitra Navratri
Happy gudi padwa 🙂🙂
Happy Navratri To All
🙏
We have such festivities round the year. It’s really really great. And people do fast, don’t shave, don’t eat non veg during these time. How many of you knew there are four Navratri? I didn’t know. I knew about only two. Have great 9 days ahead.
Fasting is a ritual thing which can be interpreted in many ways. Dedicate your life to something and concentrate on it fully, that’s your prayer to God. Refrain yourself from indulging in negativity, never stray from your path that’s your fast. 🙂🙂🙂
