Pacifying Rahu during the Goddess Festival (Navratri)

[explorings]

Navratri:
Navaratri represents celebration of Goddess Durga, the manifestation of Deity in form of Shakti (Energy or Power). The Navaratri festival or ‘Nine Nights festival’ becomes ‘ten days festival’ with the addition of the last day, Vijayadashami which is its culmination. On all these ten days, the various forms of Mother Mahisasura-mardini (Durga) are worshipped with fervor and devotion. (Ref.: Wikipedia)

The nine days are nine steps to moksha and the goddesses give us the power to find our higher self.

Navaratri is celebrated four times a year. They are Vasanta Navaratri, Ashadha Navaratri, the Sharada Navaratri, and the Paush/MaghaNavaratri. Of these, the Sharada Navaratri of the month of Puratashi and the Vasanta Navaratri of the Vasanta kala are very important. You can read more about this on Wikipedia.

We are currently celebrating Sharada Navaratri, otherwise touted as “Maha Navratri”.

Some of you may know that I am currently obsessed with Rahu. Two major reasons are: (i) I am undergoing a troublesome Rahu Maha Dasha (Ra MD), which is known to cause obsessive tendencies ; and (ii) Ra MD has turned my world upside down and thrown me in complete chaos, confusion, illusions, mental agony, etc. Finally, I turned to overlord of Rahu, Goddess Durga in desperate need for mental peace and relief.

For the past two years, I started fasting during Navratri for no reason… purely a “copy cat” version after seeing a couple of my friends do it. Today, I had an “Aho!/Eureka!” moment that if Navratri is a festival of Maa Durga is there any link between pacification of Rahu during this holy festival. Ahha, indeed it does… As Saindhaviji has pointed out: “Remedies come to you only if you are destined to benefit.” After researching for almost 5-6 hrs, I am posting this article in the spirit of helping others through LOVA. Views/opinions are welcome! (Information has been collated here from various sites+articles+books)

Note: I believe that one should not do any remedies with a sole intention of propriating a planet but rather with a pure intention of asking for: (i) forgiveness for present and/or past karmas; and (ii) strength to face the situations thrown at you.

[explorings]

Rahu is a demon God and creates havoc if ill-placed in chart. Those who want to pacify Rahu; Navratri is the best time.

Navratri is related mainly to our spiritual development. It is a festival where one learns to fight our own fears (demons). Thus, it can be elevated to fight malefic effects of Rahu (demon head) and/or rejections or detachments created by Ketu (demon body). It is important to fast during the day during these nine days with the sole intentions to fight our inner fears and overcome our weaknesses.

The 9 days of Navratri are sub-divided into 3 sets:
First 3 days: Durga or Kali
- Overlord: Rahu
- This is also a time to control the demons of Rahu, the false or obsessive desires/needs; the fears that keep us tied to the material world and thus make us a part of unending vicious circle of desires and disappointments.
- Mantra For Durga: Om Dhum Durgayai Namaha

Next 3 days: Lakshmi
- Overlord: Venus
- This is also a time for preserving and acquiring spiritual wealth. It also a time to acquire new things ethically that make us happy, wealthy, and prosperous.
- Mantra For Lakshmi: Om Rim Shrim Lakshmibhyo Namah

Last 3 days: Saraswati
- Overlord: Rahu (please refer to Saindhaviji’s explaination, here: http://www.lightonvedicastrology.com/ph ... 284#p93127)
- This is also a time for destroying our ignorance and gaining knowledge and wisdom.
- Mantra For Saraswati:Om Aim Saraswatiaye Namaha

How to Pacify Rahu during Navratri:
1. Fast for nine days… during the day time you may eat fruits, or any upwaas delights. Take one vegetarian meal each evening (avoid consuming onion and garlic)

2. If you do not want to or for some reason cannot fast try to be vegetarian (no meat, fish, eggs, chicken) and no alcohol. Observe celibacy

3. Everyday light 9 lamps (not lemon lamps) during evening. You may light lemon lamps in temple during Rahu Kalam.

4. Pray, chants, recites or do Chandi Path (http://www.lightonvedicastrology.com/ph ... 115#p93363) for blessings of Goddess Durga. I personally recommend Siddha Kunjika Stotram (http://www.lightonvedicastrology.com/ph ... 115#p93365) or Kilak Mantra (http://lightonvedicastrology.com/phpBB3 ... 349#p93348). Siddha Kunjika stotram is praised by Lord Shiva as the "Ultimate Mantra" to invoke Maa Durga for her blessings (Details below)

5. Chant mantras 108 times depending upon the day of Navratri. For eg.: If 6th day chant Lakshmi Mantra; if 8th day chant Saraswati mantra, etc.

6. Special prayers during Maha Ashtami: if one is undergoing Rahu Dasha, bhukti, or influence period, or those born in Nakshatras Arudra, Swati and Shatabhisha, are recommended to invoke Goddess Durga at this time to enhance their Rahu period or the power of their Nakshatra. (Details below)

[explorings]

Siddha Kunjika Stotram:

Lord Shiva himself has touted this auspicious mantra as the "Ultimate Stotram" to invoke/please his consort.

Na Kavacham Na Argala Stotram Kilkam Na Rahasyaam,

Na Suktam Naapi Va Dhyanam Na Nyaaso Na Vaarchanam.

Kunjika Paath Matrren Durga Paatham Phalam Labheta.

-Lord Shiva

Translation in English: Neither the Devi Kavacham, nor the Argala, nor Kilak, not even the Suktams, nor the dhyanam - none of these can come close to the Siddha Kunjika Stotram to conferring the true meaning and benefit of the Chandi. Such is the power of this stotram that if it is done by the uninitiated there is every possibility that it will boomerang on the performer.

(Link: http://www.lightonvedicastrology.com/ph ... 115#p93365)

Note:
To the best of my understanding, Siddha Kunjika Stotram is Siddha by it self and does not require Nyasa/initiation. However, it is said Kunjika Stotram is never chanted without performing the Chandi Homam, as it contains very powerful Beejaksharas, which have a definite influence on human lives. I personally recite/hear it during Ashtami/Navami transition.

[explorings]

Especially those who are undergoing Rahu influence period, those with Rahu Dasha or Bukti, and those with the Nakshatras Arudra, Swati and Shatabhisha are recommended to call on Durga at this time to enhance their Rahu period or the power of their Nakshatra.

The 8th Night is even more powerful as Saraswati increasing in power to dispel ignorance and enlighten the hearts of individuals and Goddess Durga also joins in the battle as it is "Durga Ashtami", the 8th phase of the Moon. During Ashtami of Navratri, Goddess Durga comes into her full power to fight, slay, and gain victory over demons. So in all fairness, it makes sense to invoke this Goddess to conquer our own demons: negative energies of laziness, apathy, hatred, separation, and false obsessions.

During Navaratri this year (2011), Rahu is in the sign Scorpio, the violent sign of Mars. It is also the 8th sign in the natural zodiac. This indicates an opportune time to have the energies of Goddess Durga, strongly impact and control Rahu.

Special prayers, fire rituals/homas can be done. Rahu Homa, Chandi Homa, etc.

I however, believe in a simple ritual that I found on one of the sites:
Not only it works for Navaratri, it is to be chanted at the junction when Ashtami leaves and enters Navami. 24 mins before Ashtami ends to 24 mins after navami starts, is the time when Devi takes the form of Chamunda and had got to be chanted no matter the count to exhaust 48 mins .

How to Count 48 minutes
Each Tithi lasts for 24 hours . If for example the Navami starts at 21.30 pm in the night then you should start at 21.06 (which is Ashtami) and continue untill 21.54 pm, that 48 mins is called Sandhi kshan or period of transit, when Devi in the form of Chamunda is killing Chanda and Munda (the demons). That is regarded as the most auspiscious time of Navaratri as Devi is ready to give boon after Sandhi kshan is over.

During this most auspicious time of Navratra, a few moment of pray, chants, recites or path may results blessings of Mother Goddess Durga.

I personally recommend Kunjika Stotram and/or Narvaan Mantra (Aum Aim Rim Klim Chamundaaye Vichhe)

Chanting of these great mantras will help you

[Saindhavi]

Explorings,

Thanks for all these informations.

Can I ask you a question if you don't mind? Which part of India do you come from?

Lemon lamps for the Goddess are most popular in Maharashtra. In South too they light diyas for Durga during Rahu Kalam, but these are mostly ghee diyas. Rahu Kalam is not practised in the North.

Fasting for 9 days and vegetarian meal during Navaratri is a very Delhi-Western UP-Punjab-Rajasthan-centric tradition.

On the other hand, usually Sanskrit texts are not so popular in this North-North-Western region. Most people prefer to recite Durga Saptashati in Hindi, or they call a priest to recite in Sanskrit.

Reciting this text in Sanskrit is very Eastern Indian, where actually Durga Puja is the most important festival (not only in Bengal, but also in Assam and Mithila).

However, in eastern India, they fast and eat vegetarian food only on the Ashtami. On all the remaining days, eating non-vegetarian food is a must for them, since they are essentially Shakta people. On the Navami and Dashami, they eat mutton, while on other days they eat generally fish, which is also their staple food. Mutton is associated with the killing of Mahishasura. Hence, in olden days, they used to make an animal sacrifice to the Goddess on Navami and Dashami.

You seem to combine some elements from all these regions in your Goddess worship! Hence I asked you the above question.

Of course, all of these traditions are equally valid. Hinduism fosters diversity in religiosity.

[explorings]

Lol Saindhaviji.

Yeah I am from Maharashtra. Lighting lemon lamps in front of any Goddess for marital bliss is very popular in Maharashtra. I visit several South Indian temples here in US and one of the priest after seeing me lighting lemon lamps, mentioned that in South lemon lamps are lit during Rahu Kalaam. So, I started doing it during Rahu Kalaam from this year... it works! (period)

My mom and late maternal grandfather are well-versed in Sanskrit. So I am use to Sanskrit Slokas.

Started observing fast, as couple of my Punjabi and Delhi friends fast during Navratri. I had no idea the spiritual reasons behind Navratri fasting until today. I usually did specifically for cleansing digestive tract, refraining from non-veg, and because I decided to arrange a potluck feast and Satsangs on all 9 nights for people observing this fast. In the past 7 years, I transitioned from arranging to actually fasting

Maharashtrians usually observe a strict vegetarian diet and celibacy during Shravan, Ganpati, Navratri, Diwali, and Margashish festivals/months.

However, veggie diet was strictly from Rahu POV.
Rahu is a demon God and one may observe that it increases obsessions for non-veg or alcohol consumption. I was almost a veggie and a teetotaler before my Rahu MD. During mid of Rahu MD, I started eating non-veg almost every other day. Till I started seeing the effects of Saturday fast and forcibly turned to veggies again.

However, the Remedies for Rahu during Navratri were taken from several articles/books authored by writers from South or East or from Maharashtra.

Great Observation!

(I plan to post my experiences in Ra MD and how remedies are helping me... soon)

[Saindhavi]

Explorings,

I would love to hear about your Rahu Mahadasha experiences and also about how these Nivarana methods are working for you. My Rahu Mahadasha finished many years ago, but I can share some insights I learnt from there when you discuss your experiences.

I don't know about non-vegetarianism - I guess it has that effect on vegetarian people, because people who are essentially non-vegetarians wouldn't find any difference during Rahu Mahadasha, since they have been non-vegetarians anyway.

But Rahu is supposed to be a materialistic planet, which takes one towards the materialism ("Maya" or the illusions) of the world. And I did get financial gains during Rahu.

Another association with Rahu is astrology!

It is generally seen that when one is running Rahu period or if Rahu influences 1st or 5th house of someone's chart, one begins to take interest in astrology. Till I reached a certain stage in Rahu Mahadasha, I didn't know anything about astrology, nor did I care to know. At a certain stage in Rahu Mahadasha, I began to take interest - partly because of the troubles I was going through and partly because I was fascinated by it. And you can see the result now.

So, perhaps astrology is also an illusion (Maya) created by Rahu!

But people who are influenced by Rahu in 1st or 5th house are supposed to be worldly-wise. Even if they pray, it is for obtaining worldly goals. They usually become successful astrologers.

Saturn is supposed to lead them away from the materialism of the world, since it is the planet of asceticism - also Ketu.

Thanks for this info, but I wish I had known this earlier. Missed the time, this year. However, I recite Chandipath during navratri and I think it's amazing for Rahu afflictions. So much of peace when I do it. I have Rahu in own nakshatra Swati but my Venus and Mars conjunct it. Had a very tough Rahu dasa so far, but I always find Chandipath to be soothing and uplifting.

I like the one in Astrojyoti, it's recited in south-indian style and very good quality recording. Its pity they don't allow download.

Have a great Navratri.

Satya

PS: are you sure about date and time for ashtami-navami sandhi? For London, local panchamgan is showing 04th Oct 16:24 as asthami until 16:24 5th Oct . Which is 21:04 on 04-05th Oct.

Hopefully, you would be able to do it next time. I plan to share my experiences in Ra MD soon... u are welcome to share yours too.

[Saindhavi]

No offence meant to anyone, but I always like Durga Saptashati when it is sung by a woman. Ideally, it should be sung by a woman.

YouTube had a complete Durga Saptashati recital which could be downloaded. But they removed it just before Ashtami. I managed to download it though.

[tripura]

I did as u sugessted. I listened to the siddha kunjika stotram 2 times and for the rest of the time I did the AUM Aim Hrim Klim Chamundaya Vichche. and I did not stop I continued doing Durga chalisa 21 times (one hour)after that. Interestingly after 6 hours I saw a small black snake leaving my yard and going towards the gate leaving the house. Im keeping my fingers crossed and hoping it is a good omen.I dint feel any fear when I saw the snake justsaid Jai Maa Durga and came back. I read some article that said on saturday of navratri if u read the whole Durga saptashati u get the result of chanting it one crore times. dont know how far that is true but did it anyway and hope the dear Mother will be pleased and bless us all. Im glad I read ur article on time and acted upon it.
thanks
tripura

[tripura]

I read the article on truthstar <navratri 2011 planner> on the first days planner itself it is mentioned about the guide lines of reading the Durga Saptashati.those who read the saptashati on sunday get nine times benefit, on monday get 1000 times benefit,on tuesday 100 times benefit, on wednesday 1lakh times benefit, on thursday and friday 2 lakh times benefit and on saturday 1 crore times benefit.
so hopefully this will be of help for the next navratri.

[Saindhavi]

Tripura,

That's a very interesting experience!

Black snake is representative of Rahu and in any case your recitation saved you from any forthcoming danger.

But I do hope its companion or nest is not there in your house.

If it's a cobra, it's supposed to bring prosperity. But you need to be careful.

[tripura]

saindhavi, ur right its better to be watchful. Im just thinking abt the significance. I have never seen a snake at all in my life and then on Durgaashtami day i see the appearance of one heading towards the gate of my house like leavingthe house and then right now Rahu is stationed in scorpio which is my moon sign, and this past year i have been concentrating a lot on Durga chalisa.then yesterday itself many things happened which could signify a turning point in my life hopefully for the better.
so whatever the significance but yes I will be alert in case there is another one around.
thanks

OMG I would personally take "black snake leaving the house" as a complete figurative expression of Rahu leaving you alone/good omen... As Saindhaviji has pointed out: “Remedies come to you only if you are destined to benefit.” I am glad this article reached you on time and you acted upon it

I am sure Mother will continue to shower her blessings on you and all of us as well

Nice Article

Happy Navaratri to All

Jai Maha Mayee !!!

[explorings]

Exploring,
I am running ju-rahu and i have never done navratri fasting. But this year i got interested in it and am fasting. Rahu being material planet but m finding myself doing more and more sadhanas and it's all out of my own interest and curosity.
Good post on navratri and Happy Navratri to you.
Gold

Maybe its linked with MD lord Ju. Can't say much without seeing your chart.

Do the sadhana and come back and leave your feedback/experience. Tripura on this forum had an interesting experience last year.

[Saindhavi]

Anu,

Fast is done in the same manner on all 9 days - eat fruits and non-salty and non-grain food after Sunset. There is nothing special on Ashtami as far as fast goes.

You can feed veg food to 8 or 9 girls below the age of maturity (up to 9 years is ok) on Ashtami or Navami.

Some people also invite their friends, neighbours, relatives and menial workers in their area for a veg or non-veg feast according to their tradition.

In Eastern India, where this is the most important festival, usually people who are not keeping fast eat non-veg food on all 9 days and hence, this feast is also non-veg - fish and mutton, not chicken.

In several other parts of India like in Delhi and areas around Delhi and in Western India, it's mostly veg feast - Puri, subzi, kheer, halwa, 1 or 2 sweets.

So, depending upon the part of India where you are staying and the group of people you are inviting, you can decide your menu.

See Explorings' post on her Rahu Mahadasha thread where she has given the timing for Sandhi Kala between Ashtami and Navami. During this time, the Goddess makes herself most powerfully felt amongst her devotees. So, some Puja is done during this period. You can recite Kunjika Stotram and Durga Bija Mantra 108 times and ask for your wish etc. You can also play some recordings related to Goddess worship if you like.

Check the timing from Explorings' post.

I think this much is enough.

[Saindhavi]

Yes, 121 times is fine.

[Humannature]

Saindhavi ji/Explorings.
Thanks for the great Navratri related posts.
Both of you suggested few stotra for navratri, specially for Ashtami - Navmi sandhi kaal
Saindhavi ji, you said one may play mahalaya n also recite kunjika storam or durga bija mantra.
Explorings suggested Kunjika Stotra/Narvaana matra.
If I am listening to Mahalaya, should I still recite Kunjika stotra /Narvaan mantra?

Can either of you please let me know which one I should do if i can only for one? Kunjika Stotra, Dugra bija matra, Navraan matra? or listen to mahalaya?

Either Explorings or Saindhavi mentioned somewhere else not to read Kunjika stotram if Chandi homam is not performed. So should I not recite it during sandhi kaal, n instead do the Navraan mantra jaap or kunjika stotra?

Also I do not have any practice with any of Durga Maa related strotra. So it will be my first time


Is everybody listening to 'Mahalaya' from the following link (posted by Saindhavi ji on another therad) or from somewhere else??

http://nakrashi.[NO EXTERNAL LINKS PLEASE].in/2012/10/rec ... ratri.html

Can someone post the Ashtami-Navmi sandhi kaal for 2012, please..

Thank you.
