After decades, Sharadiya Navratri will be of 8 days in very auspicious Guru Yoga

We all know that life is not possible without power, existence of power means existence of life, in the absence of power life cannot be imagined. A simple curd seller to Adi Jagadguru Shankaracharya had said that if I do not have the power to come to get curd, then why don’t we worship Shakti. While worshiping Mother, we got this in the form of a simple Acharya Shankar, Jagadguru Shankaracharya, whom the whole world knows today, Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Swami Vivekananda etc. became. Since time immemorial, Shakti has been worshiped in many forms. The best time to worship Goddess is during Navratri. In this sequence, Shardiya Navratri will start from Thursday this year and will end on Thursday. Due to the decay of one date, this time Navratri will be of eight days. Due to which special yoga of ‘Guru’ is being formed this time. Starting from Ashwin Shukla Paksha Ekam on Thursday, 7 October, Durga Mahanavami will be celebrated on 14 October. Dussehra will be celebrated on 15 October.

What is the special yoga of Guru?

According to astrology, Guru is the god of knowledge and wisdom and he is considered to be the guru of all the gods, that is why he gets the analogy of Devguru. The beginning and end of Navratri on Thursday this year is considered auspicious. Such a coincidence happens only once in several decades. According to astrology, Ashwin Shukla Paksha Pratipada is starting from 4:34 pm on Wednesday, 6 October. Which will remain till 1:46 pm on Thursday. Ghatasthapana will be done in the morning on this day and the worship of the mother will start.

Why Navratri will be celebrated for 8 days?

In fact, this time Tritiya Tithi and Chaturthi are falling on Saturday only. Due to which Chaturthi has been destroyed, Chandraghanta and Kushmanda will be worshiped on the same day. This is the reason why Navratri will be celebrated for eight days.
