Kanya Pujan (Chaitra Navratri)

Navratri is an important festival celebrated in the Sanatan tradition. During the nine days of Navratri, devotees worship Goddess Durga, seeking her blessings for a prosperous and happy life. According to ancient scriptures, the period of Chaitra Navratri is considered highly auspicious.

What is the significance of Navratri?

Navratri is highly significant in Indian cultural and religious traditions, representing wealth, harmony, and spirituality. It is believed that those who worship Goddess Durga with a pure heart during these nine days and offer food and donations to young girls, seen as representations of the Goddess, receive the eternal blessings of the Divine Mother.

Support for Surgeries and Worship of Differently-Abled Girls

It is said that performing charitable acts and donating to worthy girls during the auspicious occasion of Navratri paves the way for a joyful life. “501” girls with disability are expected to have life-changing surgery on Chaitra Navratri at Narayan Seva Sansthan, enabling them to live happy and independent lives.

In Hinduism, donation is considered a highly virtuous act. Emphasizing the importance of giving, religious texts state:

पात्रेभ्यः दीयते नित्यमनपेक्ष्य प्रयोजनम् ।
केवलं त्यागबुध्दया यद् धर्मदानं तदुच्यते ॥

It means that ‘Dharma Daan’ (righteous contribution) refers to a donation made without any expectation and just for the sake of sacrifice.

On this auspicious occasion of Chaitra Navratri, make a difference by donating to the surgeries and worship of differently-abled girls and receive the blessings of Goddess Jagdamba.
