The word Navaratri means ‘nine nights’. In Sanskrit, nava means nine and ratri means night.
Tantra is the basis of all streams of spirituality. During these nine nights and ten days, nine forms of Shakti are worshiped as per Vedic and Tantric rituals. Navaratri or Navadurga Parva happens to be the most propitious period of spiritual Sadhanas and worship of Shakti in Tantric form.
Under the guidance of Tantric Guru the Sadhaks learn special Tantric rituals to gain spiritual energy. Goddess Shakti is worshiped and adored in the nine forms i.e. Shailputri, Brahmachaarini, Chandraghanta, Kushmaanda, Skanda Mata, Kaatyayani, Kaalratri, Mahagauri and Sidhidaatri.
Specific Sadhanas of the Shakti Mantra are practiced by Vam Tantra Sadhaks under the guidance of a Tantric Guru with full faith and devotion during the propitious period of Navaratri. This period holds a special importance in following ways:
We worship the divine power to confer upon us positive energies to hold and preserve our mind, body and soul energies.
Shakti Sadhana and prayers during this period will bestow wealth, auspiciousness, prosperity, knowledge, and other potent powers to cross every hurdle of life.
Tantra Sadhana with ardent love and devotion destroys all our impurities, vices and defects and builds spiritual energy.
Observing fast and following strict rituals during these nine days builds immunity from all kinds of diseases and enhances vital energy etc.
Saraswati is the Goddess of learning, arts and cultural fulfillment, as well as consort of Lord Brahma, the creator. She is the cosmic intelligence, cosmic consciousness, and cosmic knowledge. Lakshmi is the Goddess of wealth, fertility, and material fulfillment, as well as consort of Vishnu, the preserver. However, Lakshmi does not signify mere material wealth, but also abstract prosperity, such as glory, magnificence, joy, exaltation and greatness. Parvati, or in her demonfighting aspect, Durga, is the Goddess of power, love and spiritual fulfillment, as well as consort of Śhiva, the destroyer or transformer. She also represents the power of divinity, the power that dissolves the multiplicity of the Hindu Gods into their unity.
Typically, Shakti is associated with Shiva, the supreme God within Shaivism. Shakti, or Durga, is the energy aspect of the Hindu deities. Without Shakti, Shiva has no expression, and without Shiva, Shakti has no existence i.e., in sagunswaroop, otherwise nirgun form of Shakti i.e. energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. Shiva is omnipotent, impersonal, and inactive, essentially the concept of pure consciousness. On the other hand, Shakti, as the power or active aspect of the immanent God, is dynamic. Shakti is the embodiment of power and the eternal consort of Shiva. In Hinduism, there is no difference between Shiva and Shakti. Shakti or Durga, is co-existent with Shiva and the two are inseparable concepts. Shiva is a transcendent divinity and Shakti is the one who made him as such. Worship of Durga, Parvati, or Kali is equivalent to the worship of Lord Shiva and the worship of Shiva is worship of Shakti.
Shakti or Vimarsh is the power that is latent in pure consciousness, required to reach pure consciousness and essential to create, sustain and destroy. Just as energy can never be created nor be destroyed, but changes from one form to another; Adi-ParaShakti took many incarnations to do different tasks. God is both male and female. But all different forms of energy or powers of God are with the Trimurti in the form of Maha Lakshmi, Maha Saraswati and Maha Kali. That is to say, a nondimensional God creates this world through Srishti- Shakti (Maha Saraswati or Sound or knowledge), preserves through Sthiti-Shakti (Maha Lakshmi or Light or resources), and destroys through Samhara- Shakti (Maha Kali or Heat or Strength).
It is also seen that God cannot create, generate or destroy because God does not possess any attribute. So true energy or Adi Shakti does everything on God’s behalf. Parabrahman AdiParashakti herself creates three bubbles that are the source and energy to be generated.
From the first Bubble which is expansion of same seed complete, arose PrathamPurush and PrathamPrakriti i.e. Narayana and Narayani (not to confuse with Goddess Lakshmi, Narayani here is identified as Goddess Parvati, the sister of Lord Vishnu). Narayani is also known as Gowri Devi. This time she was not evolved in SakaarSwaroop. When Shiva worshiped Adi Shakti, then Gowri Devi arose from the left half of Shiva in SakaarSwaroop. The second Bubble is the transformer and complete knowledge i.e. Shiva and Saraswati. Shiva is evolved from the seed as “Pradhan Purush” and Goddess Saraswati was evolved in Nirakaar Swaroop and gave birth to four Vedas. Her Sakaar Swaroop took birth on the day of Vasant Panchami, when Brahma required complete knowledge. The third and last Bubble evolved from Narayana comprises manifested form and Adi Shakti created Shri Devi by herself i.e. Brahma and Lakshmi. Brahma appeared as the Father to create the universe and Lakshmi appeared to provide him with resources.
Narayana (PrathamPurush or Unmanifested form of Brahman) and Gowri Devi/Durga (Shakti Swaroop of Adi Shakti).
Shiva (Pradhan Purush or Transcendent form of Brahman) and Saraswati (GyanSwaroop of Adi Shakti).
Brahma (ParamPitamah or Manifested form of Brahman) and Lakshmi (Shri Swaroop of Adi Shakti).
However Vishnu sustains the universe and thus requires complete resources to sustain it. Likewise, Brahma needs Complete Knowledge to create; and Shankar requires a complete source of power to lead change in beings from life to death. Thus when even the God Trinity needs the support of these three divine symbols, there is no doubt that we mere human beings also need the grace of these mothers.
Considering this very aspect of life, Gurudev will be granting Tri-Shakti Diksha to all those who are eager to gain knowledge, wealth and power in life. A life which has a scarcity of even a single component as stated above can’t be called a complete life. Completeness in life can only be possible to gain grace of these Goddess and is possible by means of this Diksha
