Things You Need To Know About Goddess Chandraghanta
On the occasion of Chandraghanta pooja, let us learn more about the Goddess Chandraghanta. Take a look.
Today is the third day of the Navratri festival. The third day of the festivities is dedicated to Goddess Chandraghanta. The Goddess Chandraghanta is the married form of the Mother Goddess, Goddess Durga.
The Goddess Chandraghanta is one among the 'Raudra' forms of Mother Durga. She appears as a horrific and a fear-inducing form to the evil and wicked of the mind.
Her name alone can instill terror into the minds of the Asuras and those who terrorize the simple-minded devotees. But to her devotees, she appears to be benevolent and loving.
It is said that she is like a mother; she showers her love and affection on her children. But when someone harms her children, she turns into a formidable person and punishes the person who hurt her beloved children.
On the occasion of the Chandraghanta pooja, let us learn more about the Goddess Chandraghanta.
The
Appearance
Of
The
Goddess
Chandraghanta
The
Goddess
Chandraghanta
has
a
golden
hue
that
radiates
from
her
body.
She
has
three
eyes
and
has
ten
hands.
Eight
of
the
ten
hands
sport
various
weapons
and
the
remaining
two
are
in
a
blessing
and
boon-giving
pose.
She
is
usually
depicted
as
riding
a
tiger
or
lion.
The
choice
of
the
Vahan
shows
her
bravery
and
fearlessness.
She
is
forever
ready
for
a
battle
and
to
protect
the
needy
from
evil.
The
Name
Of
The
Goddess
The
name
Chandraghanta
is
a
combination
of
two
words
-
"Chandra"
which
means
'the
moon'
and
"Ghanta"
which
means
'the
bell'.
The
half
moon
is
always
shown
adorning
her
forehead
and
it
is
depicted
to
be
in
a
bell
shape.
This
is
how
the
Goddess
gets
her
name.
The
bell
is
also
thought
to
be
a
signal
of
warning
to
those
who
are
evil
and
wicked.
The
chime
of
the
bell
can
also
be
heard
by
the
devotees
as
a
promise
of
protection.
The
Story
Of
Goddess
Chandraghanta
The
form
of
the
Goddess
Chandraghanta
is
that
of
a
newly
married
woman.
The
story
tells
us
that
after
years
of
austerity,
Lord
Shiva
agreed
to
marry
Goddess
Parvati.
On
the
day
of
the
wedding,
the
Groom,
Lord
Shiva,
arrived
along
with
his
entourage
at
Goddess
Parvati's
Palace.
The
form
that
Lord
Shiva
was
in
was
terrifying.
He
was
accompanied
by
ghosts
and
the
Shiva
Ganas.
Seeing
all
this,
Goddess
Parvati's
mother
fainted
in
fright.
To make Lord Shiva repent, Goddess Parvati took the form of the ferocious Goddess Chandraghanta and forced her would-be husband to appear in a more pleasant form.
Accordingly, Lord Shiva changed his form to appear like a handsome prince decked in finery and jewellery. This way, the Goddess got married to Lord Shiva.
Yogic
Significance
Of
The
Day
Three
Of
Navratri
In
the
tantric
and
yogic
aspect,
the
Navratri
is
an
important
period.
The
practitioners
of
yoga
and
tantra
are
able
to
wake
their
spiritual
chakras
during
the
Navratri.
During
the
third
day
of
the
Navratri,
they
perform
the
pooja
for
the
Goddess
Chandraghanta
and
wake
the
Manipura
chakra.
When
this
chakra
is
awakened,
the
practitioner
can
be
more
receptive
to
the
spiritual
and
the
paranormal
world.
They
can
pick
up
unearthly
sounds
and
smells.
Many
will
be
able
to
experience
the
supernatural
power
during
this
time.
The
Sadhak
or
the
practitioner
needs
to
be
very
careful
during
this
time
and
focus
on
the
worship
of
the
Goddess
Chandraghanta.
The
Planet
Of
The
Third
Day
Of
Navratri
The
Shukra
planet
is
the
presiding
planet
of
the
third
day
of
Navratri.
Praying
to
the
Goddess
Chandraghanta
and
worshipping
the
planet
Shukra
can
help
remove
any
malefic
effects
that
the
planet
may
have
on
your
life.
