Sharadiya Navratri, falling in the Shukla Paksha of Ashwin month, is considered a great festival of Shakti worship in the Sanatan tradition. In this ritual that lasts for nine days, nine different forms of Goddess Durga are worshipped. According to Hindu theology and astrological beliefs, although the permanent vehicle of Jagatjanani Maa Jagadamba is Singh (lion), but the vehicle of her arrival (arrival) and departure (return) to the earth during Navratri is different, which is decided on the basis of Vaar (day) falling on the day of Ghatasthapana and Vijayadashami. This year, due to the beginning of Shardiya Navratri on Sunday, Maa Durga has arrived on ‘Gaj’ i.e. elephant, whereas as the festival of Vijayadashami falls on Tuesday, the Goddess will arrive on ‘Murga’ (Charanayudh/Poultry). From the astrological point of view, while the vehicle of arrival is considered very auspicious and auspicious, the vehicle of departure is giving serious indications of huge upheavals, natural disasters and political conflicts for the country and the world.
There are clear verses mentioned in the scriptures regarding the determination of the vehicles for the arrival and departure of Goddess Bhagwati:
Arrival Ideas:
Shashisurye gajarudha shanibhaume turangme.
Guru Shukre Cha Dolayan Budhe Nauka Prakirtita॥
That is, if Navratri starts on Sunday or Monday then Mata Rani comes on an elephant. They come on horses (Turgam) on Saturday or Tuesday, in palanquins (Palki) on Thursday or Friday and on boats on Wednesday.
Departure Considerations:
Shashi Surya Dine Agar Sa Vijaya Mahishagamne Ruj Shokakara.
If Shani Bhaumadini is victorious, it means that it will destroy you.
On the day of Mercury and Venus, if it is Vijaya Gajavahan and auspicious rain.
Surrajguru, if the Vijaya Narvahan sings auspicious blessings.
That is, if Vijayadashami is on Sunday or Monday then the goddess goes on a buffalo. When Vijayadashami falls on Saturday or Tuesday, the farewell of Maa Durga is done on ‘Charanayudh’ i.e. cock. Departure takes place on elephant on Wednesday or Friday and on Thursday on human vehicle (Narvahana).
With the establishment of the Kalash of Navratri on Sunday, Maa Durga arrived on Gajraj i.e. elephant. It is said in Devi Bhagwat – ‘Gaje Cha Jalda Devi’. The elephant is considered a symbol of wisdom, power, stability and grandeur.
-
Auspicious for agriculture and farmers: Arrival on an elephant directly means that there will be chances of good rain in the coming time. The water level in the soil will improve, the yield of Rabi crops will be excellent and the grain stores of the country will remain full.
-
Economic Strength: Elephant is also considered the vehicle of Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. This indicates economic stability in business, industry and the lives of common people and relief from inflation.
-
mantle piece: Arrival at Gaj infuses positive energy and satisfaction in the society.
Since the festival of Vijayadashami is on Tuesday, ‘Charanayudha’ (rooster) has been made the departure vehicle of Mother Bhagwati. The chicken is called Charanayudha in Sanskrit texts because it has thorny weapon-like nails on its feet. In astrology and Mundane Astrology, the movement of the Goddess on a cock is not considered auspicious:
-
Meaning of ‘Kari Vikala’: It is clearly mentioned in the verse that due to the farewell to the chicken, the public mind becomes ‘vikal’ i.e. distraught, disturbed and frightened. This vehicle is an indicator of discord, violence, ideological bitterness and dissatisfaction in the society.
-
Political and diplomatic crisis: According to Medini astrology, farewell to the rooster promotes fierce confrontation between the ruling party and the opposition, tension on the borders and war-like situations in international diplomacy. Rulers and administrative systems may have to face unexpected challenges.
-
Natural disasters and disease-bereavement: This vehicle reflects unusual weather changes, natural disasters like earthquakes, typhoons, and the possibility of seasonal epidemics or the spread of infectious diseases.
When the arrival is very auspicious and the departure is painful, then the mixed result is that material comforts and production will be abundant, but a huge struggle will have to be done to maintain social and political stability. According to astrologers, to calm this negative effect and maintain peace in the country and society, special measures are fruitful during Navratri and on the day of Vijayadashami:
-
Encapsulated text of Durga Saptashati: Recite Shri Durga Saptashati or chant the thirty-two names of the Goddess with Argala, Kilak and Kavach regularly till the Navami Tithi of Navratri.
-
Havan and Shanti Ritual: On the day of Mahanavami and Dashami, offer Purnahuti to the Mother Goddess with sesame, barley, ghee and Guggulu and pray for the welfare of the nation and world peace.
-
Kanya Puja and service to the needy: During Navratri, feed nine girls and donate clothes and fruits to them. Along with this, arranging food and water for animals and birds reduces the effect of malefic planets and inauspicious signs to zero.
Religious and astrological laws are a medium to awaken public welfare and public consciousness. Maa Durga is always the one who defeats the troubles of her devoted devotees. Worship done with faith, truth and spirit of service paves the way for happiness, peace and security in life by avoiding all kinds of evil and turmoil.
