A new purity in the house, a new energy in the air, and a new hope in the mind … This is a sign that from today the biggest festival of worship of power, Shardiya Navratri, has started. It is not just a fasting of nine days, but a festival of meeting the nine forms of the mother, understanding them and feeling within them. The first day of this holy journey, the first worship, and the first learning comes Mother Shailputri By the form of.

Why is this first form of mother?

“Shell” means mountain or rock, and “daughter” means daughter. Mother Shailputi is the daughter of the Himalayas. Wearing white clothes, riding on a bull (Nandi), a trident in one hand and the mother holding a lotus in the other is very calm and gentle. But his peace teaches us the greatest lessons of life – of stability and perseverance.

His story also teaches us this. In his previous life, he committed self -immolation due to not being able to bear the insult to husband Shiva as Sati. In the next life, he was born as Parvati and did not spend his life like a princess, ie Lord Shiva, but did a harsh penance like an ascetic. This rock -like firm and unwavering resolution makes him ‘Shailputri’. When we worship him on the first day, we actually pray to strengthen the foundation of our life. We ask mother that we should also give such courage and stability that no storm of life can shake us.

First and most important step of worship: Ghatasthapana

Soul of worship of Navratri Diligence Or Kalash installation I live in It is a symbol of mother’s power and appearance for nine days in our house. It is believed that in this urn, all the deities and pilgrimage reside. Establishing the Kalash with law and law leads to happiness, peace and prosperity in the house.

How to please mother?

  • White color is dear: Mother Shailputri loves white color. It is considered very auspicious to offer white clothes and white flowers (especially jasmine) while worshiping.
  • Apply this one thing in enjoyment: It is considered the best to offer pure ghee of cow or sweets made from the mother. By doing this, the mother blesses the health, that is, good health and keeps the devotee away from every disease.

This first day of Navratri is not just a ritual, but is a day to recognize the power within you. So today when you bow your head in front of your mother, then you must ask for the stability like Himalayas in the courage and intentions like rock for yourself.
