Ashwin Shukla Paksha Pratipada Tithi
Shardiya Navratra
begins with the commencement of Ashwin Shukla Paksha by establishing a Kalash.
A Kalash is considered to be a form of lord Ganesha and all the auspicious
works begin with its establishment. The place where the Kalash has to be
established is made pure by cleaning it with Ganga water and cow dung. A bed is
prepared by mixing 7 kinds of soil. In case one is not able to collect soils of
7 different places then he can use the mud available at the bank of a river and
mix it with the soil of Ganges.
Shailputri Pooja Vidhi
The pooja begins with
the establishment of the Kalash on the first day. Ma Shailputri is worshipped
as a first form of Goddess
Durga depicting love and
compassion. Thus, all the gods, sacred rivers, planets, seas, directions, lord
of the villages are called upon and prayed to settle inside the Kalash. Kalash
is also filled with 7 kinds of soil (Saptmritika), clay, nut and five kinds of coins.
Below this Kalash, 7
kinds of grains and barley seeds are sown and are cut on the tenth day and are
offered to all gods and goddess. This ritual is called Jayanti and is performed
along with the chant, “Jayanti Mangla Kali Bhadrakali Kapalini, Durga Shama
Shiva Dhatri Swaha, Swadha Namostute”. After this ritual the Jayanti is
sprinkled over the members of the family to get the blessing of the goddess.
Durga Ma, who was also
knows as Durgam gave relief to her followers from the pain of demon. She is
worshipped after the establishment of Kalash at home by chanting, “Hey Durga,
accept our prayers in the form of idol we have made for you based on our belief
and enter our house with your blessings”. Devi Durga killed Mahishasur and
blessed him that he will be worshipped along with her. This is the reason that
while making the idol of Ma Durga, Mahishasura and his ride tiger can also be
seen in it.
Ma Durga’s idol is
established at the center of the worship page with Mahalakshmi, Ganesha and
Vijaya’s idol on the right and Kartikeya, Devi Mahasaraswati and Yogini’s idol
on the left. Lord Shiva is also worshipped along with all the gods and
goddesses. Shailputri is worshipped on he first day with flowers, rice, roli
and sandalwood.
Everyday in the evening
aarti is performed to worship goddess Durga. The worshippers sing “Jag Janni
Jai Jai” and “Jai Ambe Gauri”, the bhakti songs dedicated to Ma Durga.
