Participate in the Sat Chandi Chaitra Navratri Mahapuja from 9th April to 17th April 2024 on the occasion of Sat Gudipadwa & Chaitra Navratri.

Sat Chandi Mahapuja is one of the most powerful, elaborate and beneficial Pujas dedicated to the Divine Mother or Maa Durga. In Sat Chandi Maha Yagya, Chandi Path which is also known as Devi Mahatmya or Durga Saptashati is recited 100 times. The Devi Mahatmya or Chandi Path is part of the Markandeya Purana. The text contains 700 verses arranged into 13 chapters which details glories of Goddess Durga and the fierce battle between Her and demon Mahishasura. Sat Chandi Puja is glorified in numerous scriptures and Vedic texts and it is stated that conducting Sat Chandi Puja drives away all negativities and fears from one’s life. Sat Chandi Path and Puja when done in the period of Navratri is considered immensely meritorious. It is the base and root of the Shakta tradition.

The Devi Mahatmaya describes how Devi assumes many forms as a deluding power 'avidya-maya' that binds man to the wheel of samsara. Yet she is the one who bestows liberation. For the sake of the continuance of her divine play she veils the truth from us and bound us to samsara and when propitiated through the practice of sincere devotion and self-surrender, she as vidya-maya, removes the veil and enables us to perceive the truth. The Saptashati refers to her as Mahavidya, Mahamaya, Mahamedha, Mahasmriti, Mahamoha, Mahadevi and Maheshwari. She is Parabrahma-Mahishi, the queen and sovereign of all existence. Her compassion takes the form of aspiration in the aspirant, sadhana in the sadhaka, siddhi in the siddha. She is the truth behind thought, willing, feeling, understanding, action, name and form.

Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, Navgraha, and Navdurga Goddesses shower blessings on the one who takes part in Sat Chandi Puja and Yagna. The Puja brings abundance of positivity in a person’s life, helps get rid of debts, planetary malefic effects and misfortunes, and blesses with protection and victory of enemies. This puja is being performed in the auspicious period of Magh Gupt Navratri in the holy town of Trimbakeshwar which is a tirth sthala (pilgrimage place) being home to the Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga. Along with Saptashati chanting, Rudra chanting will be performed daily by the team of pundits making it a Laghu rudram puja also
