Why Navratri Is Celebrated Twice In A Year?
Many people do not know that Navratri is celebrated twice in a year. The Ashwina Navratri that starts at the beginning of winter (between September and October) is the more popular Navratri. Very few people know about the Chaitra Navratri that happens during the beginning of summer between March and April. Both these Navratris are celebrated for nine days in honour of Shakti or the mother goddess who is also referred to as Durga, Sherawali Maa or Parvati in different parts of India.
There are some important reasons why Navratri is celebrated for nine days and twice every year. These reasons include spiritual, natural and mythological ones. All these causes contribute to the celebration of Navratri twice every year.
Change
Of
Weather
If
you
notice
carefully,
both
the
Navratris
are
celebrated
at
the
juncture
of
seasonal
changes.
Just
before
the
beginning
of
summer
and
winter,
Mother
Nature
undergoes
a
major
change
and
that
is
what
is
commemorated
by
this
festival
to
celebrate
Goddess
Shakti,
who
is
an
embodiment
of
Nature
itself.
Length
Of
Day
And
Night
Scientifically
speaking,
between
March
and
April
as
well
as
September
and
October,
the
length
of
the
day
is
almost
equal
to
the
length
of
the
night.
It
constitutes
as
a
scientific
proof
that
Navratri
is
celebrated
exactly
at
the
break
of
summer
and
winter.
Pleasant Weather
Both the Navratris are celebrated at a time when the weather is pleasant. You neither have to face the scorching heat of the summers during Navratri nor the biting cold of the winters. As the weather is so temperate, these two times of the year are perfect forcelebrations.
Lord
Ram's
Puja
If
Hindu
mythology
is
to
be
believed,
Navratri
used
to
be
celebrated
only
at
the
break
of
summer
earlier.
But
when
Lord
Ram
had
a
war
with
Ravan,
He
did
not
want
to
wait
another
6
months
to
take
the
blessings
of
Maa
Durga.
So
He
started
the
tradition
of
celebrating
Navratri
just
before
winter.
He
did
a
Durga
Puja
before
He
left
for
Lanka
and
returned
victorious.
The significance of Navratri remains the same in both cases. The time itself is symbolic of Nature and its magical ways.
