1. The Importance of Navratri & The worship of Gayatri
during Nav Durga (Navratri)- Why and How ?

2. The significance of Navratri or Nav Durga
• Nav Durga is a festival of „strength‟ : Symbolizing
the building of bodily physical strength and inner
(spiritual strength).
• As we know there are three seasons in the year. Two
seasons are primary ( Summer and Winter).
• The period when one season ends and another begins
is celebrated as Navratri.
• There are two main Navratri‟s and these are
celebrated to mark the arrival of summer and winter.
Ashwin and Chaitra Navratri.

Acharya Shriram Sharma

3. Why pray during Navratri? Build Shakti ……
• The meeting of two time periods – is always a time for
enthusiasm and festivity . For e.g. : The meeting of two
friends, the meeting of dreams with success, the meeting of the
old year with the new …these events are all marked with
celebrations , hope and festivity…..
• During a change in seasons – cosmic activity/ Prana Shakti in
the Universe is at the highest. Prayers and worship at this time
allows us to tap into this increased cosmic energy /
Prana, with greater ease than at other times.
• Prayers and worship as we know are ways to increase the
Prana or cosmic energy in our individual selves. A way to
build inner strength or SHAKTI.
• Hence we are encouraged to pray and lead disciplined
balanced lives during Navratri.
From the Book “ Super Science Of Gayatri” by Ved Murti Acharya Shriram
Sharma

4. Why are prayers are accompanied by a Balanced Fast..
• Changes in season bring with them -the onset of
cough, colds, flu and fever.
• This is a natural self purification process where the human
body is adjusting towards the demands of a new season.
• Limited Fasting and a balanced diet helps the body to cleanse
itself of toxins, get rid of the excesses of the past , rebuild and
repair itself for the oncoming season.
• So a balanced disciplined diet and balanced Fasting purifies
the body and regular disciplined Prayers- Jap and Dhyaan
serve the purpose of mental purification !

Gayatri” by Ved Murti Acharya

5. The importance of Gayatri worship during Navratri.. (inner
strength , knowledge , spiritual energy)
• The festival of Navratri is a festival of Strength( Shakti).
• Gayatri is known as „Adishakti‟- The Supreme primordial
power/ energy. Durga, Maha lakshmi, Maha kali, Sarswati
are different forms of this „Adishakti‟.
• The worship of Gayatri therefore is the ultimate worship
of this Supreme Primordial Power.
• Gayatri is also known as Vedmata – the origin of
Knowledge and righteous wisdom.
• Gayatri worship therefore gives us three fold benefits :
a)Inner strength b) Builds Knowledge and generates
c)tremendous Prana in the body.

Ved Murti Acharya Shriram Sharma

6. The significance of Gayatri worship…contd..
• The Gayatri Mantra is the only Mantra – which when
chanted links all the chakras of the body. No other
Mantra does that . This results in the enhancement of
Supreme Cosmic energy or Prana in the body .
• Gayatri - Righteous Wisdom – belongs to all . The
chanting of this mantra is above caste, religion , faith
