Chandraghanta Devi : 3rd day of Navratri

Chandraghanta Devi : 3rd day of Navratri 

Devi Chandraghanta is one who establishes justice and discipline in the world. She is a form of the goddess Parvati; her name means one who has a half-moon shaped like a bell. She is depicted as a serene goddess who is associated with peace, purity, and forgiveness. 

She has ten hands, a radiant golden complexion, and a crescent moon on her forehead. She is often depicted riding a lion or tiger. She holds a variety of weapons, including a trident, mace, spear, bow, arrow, discus, and sword. Her fifth right hand is raised in Abhaya Mudra (reassurance), and her fifth left hand is in Varada Mudra. Her third eye is always open, signifying her readiness for battle against evil.

Worshipping of Maa Chandraghanta is in the morning after bath. Offer akshat, turmeric, kumkum, sandal powder, flowers, garland, incense, lamp, naivedya, fruits etc. and, chant the worship mantra. Before, Aarti to Maa, we offer sweets made of milk to Maa Chandraghanta.

Happy Navratri to all.

Instead of empowering women (as they are selfmade empowered creatures by the grace of nature's miracle law) , please focus to empower our humanity to save earth by respect , with respect and of respect. # We are strong enough to digest all humility and move forw...

The poem " My Wisdome " by Pubali BM

         My Wisdome  I want to go lost one day somewhere  Bohemianly moving here and there.... To find myself where I can fly freely,  Can breath the breeze shyly........ Can enjoy my sun kissed morning,  Not in hurry in life returning..... Or to hop flower to flower to sing a song,  To have the essence of all the dandelion... I want to go lost one day somewhere  Bohemianly moving here and there.......                              by Pubali BM (3.01.23)
