The Significance of Navratri | By Swami Purnachaitanya

Swami Purnachaitanya talks about the significance and importance of the Indian festival of Navratri, the nine nights and ten days that the Divine Mother is celebrated and honored. He talks about the significance attributed to this festival by the ancient Indian scriptures and traditions, and why it is such an important day for spiritual seekers (sadhaks), yogis and devotees. What is Navratri, what does the symbolism of the different forms of the Devi and the various demons she slays really mean, what is the deeper significance, and why do we celebrate it? For all details, watch the video till the end!

[@ravinallan6006]

Thank you guru ji, as u said,all leads to inner self experience of self. All idols takes away from the truth. Small children needs objects but for elders need a living master for this inner experience , this what I understood from your talk. Muniandy Ipoh,thank you guru ji.

[@orionthepen-pusher9385]

No, they won't... It is totally different path... Have you heard of Meera Neev karori bale baba, Ramkrshina parma Hans.... And many more who attended truth with the help of Idols... Even my father and grandfather ...please don't form misconception after listening to only a sadhak...

[@RitaWaimea]

Thank you Swami Ji, I wish some one told me this a couple of days earlier so I could go properly through this Navratri. Nevertheless, I am so grateful you explained it so beautifully to us. I haven' t heard it in such a manner from the Pandits here in The Netherlands. I went to the Mandir on the first evening wishing to learn something valuable like this teaching. Jai Mataji _/\_

[@meghannickels7701]

I’m very interested in the Davi fighting the different demons (smoky eyes, doubting, inertia and dullness and depression; no head; argumentative or contrary,....): All of this is so new to me, overwhelming and confusing! I happened to hear you doing a mantra (I know what it’s called, but I can’t think of it off the top of my head right now!). Anyway, the mantra was about 15-20 minutes long. You and I commented about it on IG last week, actually.I still find it so fascinating that simply relaxing with closed eyes while listening to this mantra produces such deep and profound experiences for me...even though I had no idea what was being said (I don’t know Sanskrit lol). You explained to me that in my situation (and in many others’) it wasn’t so much the exact meanings of the words that was so purifying & intense, , but the intentions and VIBRATIONS produced when chanted the way it’s meant to be that I was feeling. I know this is long, and I apologize. I really want to learn and understand more about all this, but it’s hard to know where to start!! So...thank you for making these things available to us for FREE!

[@SwamiPurnachaitanya]

You are welcome :-)
