Importance Of Navratri,When And Why It Is Celebrated

Navaratri is celebrated through the first nine days of the Hindu month of Ashwin.

 Navratri is celebration of the the end of the darkness of ignorance and evil.It is said to bring knowledge ,goodness and bliss,thus spiritually enlightening the human mind.Navratri signifies victory over our own minds.Navaratri is to destroy the ill thoughts and replace them with victuous qualities.it signifies the process by which one removes the layers of ignorance and achieves the state of Self-realization. 

It is said that at one stage the Gods felt Powerless against the onslaughts of the demonical forces headed by Mahishasura.In answer to their prayers for protection,they were ordered to part with a portion of their divine powers,to form into a new goddess.it was thus that Mahishasura Mardini took a physical form as the combined might of 33 crores of gods.The dreaded demon Mahishasura was killed by her after a ceaseless fight of 9 days and nights.          
The first 3 days of  Navratri is dedicated to Mata Durga .she is the destroyer of Mahishasura the buffalo headed demon.The buffalo represents the tamoguna in us i.e.a quality of laziness.darkness,inertia and ignorance.Therefore by worshipping Mother Durga.we invoke the Divine power within us to destroy our animalistic tendencies.The next 3 days are dedicated to Mother Lakshmi. By invoking her grace we are not only blessed with virtous qualities but also by Daivi Sampatti and by gaining victory or self control over the mind. The last 3 days are dedicated to Mother Saraswati, who is the bestover of light of knowledge.She removes the ignorance and darkness and grants us the higher knowledge of the self.
