Navratri Day 7 – Worship Devi Kalaratri





Navratri Day 7: Maa Kalaratri

As Navratri enters day seven, festivities are in full swing. The seventh day of Navratri is dedicated to the most fearsome of all avatar - Maa Kalaratri Devi, as dark as a moonless night. She is also recognized by her other name - Shubhankaari. As mentioned in the Skanda Purana, Lord Shiva goes to his wife, Parvati to help the gods as they are terrorized by the demon-king, Raktabeej. Parvati sends Goddess Kaalratri, a bewitchingly beautiful female to help. Some sources say that Parvati removes her golden skin, to reveal her Kaalratri black-skinned form and goes forth to help.
She is portrayed with 3 eyes which emit rays like lightning and she wears a necklace of thunder lightning. She had 4 hands, carrying a cleaver and a torch on the other while keeping her right hands in Abhaya and Varada mudras. She rides a donkey.
Maa Kalratri destroys ignorance and brings light into the dark. This form also depicts the dark side – the superpower that creates havoc and removes all bad things and ruthless powers. But to Her devotees, She brings calmness and courage.

Navratri is a very special occasion.

The person performing this yagya is blessed with strength and good fortune. Sri Durga Saptasati Yagya is more beneficial in Navratri. This Yagya will help to get the inner and outer fulfillment of desires and willpower. The Sri Durga Saptsati Yagya is a very unique, rare and elaborate Yagya. This Yagya is a unique sacrificial rite involving powerful Saptsati mantras.
