Why do We Celebrate Navratri?|| Story of Navratri




Story Behind Celebration

During Lanka war, Brahma ji asked Lord Shri Ram to worship the Chandi Devi  to please her for killing the Ravana and asked him to the arrangement  one hundred and eight Nilkamals for Chandi Pujan and havan. On the other hand, Ravana also started Chandi recitation with the desire of victory in the greed of immortality. Indra Dev brought this thing to Shri Ram through Pawan Dev and advised that the Chandi pujan should be completed as soon as possible. Here in the Havan material, a Neelkamal from the place of worship disappeared from the elusive power of Ravana and Ram's resolve began to appear broken. The fear was that the Mother Goddess should not be angry. The arrangement of the rare Neelkamal was immediately impossible, then Lord Rama readily remembered that I am called 'Kamalanayan Navakancha Lochan', so why not i offer an eye to fulfil this resolve and he take out an arrow from his back. When the eyes were ready to be removed, the goddess appeared, holding his hand and said - Ram, I am happy and blessed Vijayashree. 


At the same time, in the service of the Brahmins who are performing Yajna in the Chandi pujan of Ravana, Hanumanji took the form of a Brahmin child and joined the service. Seeing selfless service, the Brahmins asked Hanuman ji to ask for the groom. On this, Hanuman said politely - Lord, if you are happy, then change one letter of the mantra with which I am sacrificing. The Brahmins could not understand this mystery and said tatha astu. In ​​the mantra, Jayadevi ...  Bhurtiharini, instead of 'H', say 'A', this is my wish. Bhurtiharini means that remove the suffering of beings and 'Karini' means that give the suffering to beings, Due to which the goddess became angry and got Ravana destroyed. Hanuman ji Maharaj changed the direction of Yajna of Ravana by making 'A' instead of 'H' in the verse.
