Navratri 2025

Navratri 2025 , “nau raaton ka tyohaar,” sirf ek festival nahi, balki ek anubhuti hai – Devi Adishakti Maa Durga ke nau roopon ki pooja, samarpan aur shakti ka mahotsav. Har saal ki tarah, 2025 mein bhi, jab Sharad Navratri ka agaman hoga, toh poora desh bhakti aur utsah ke rangon mein doob jayega. Yeh woh samay hai jab har ghar, har gali, aur har mandir ek alag hi oorja se bhar uthta hai.

Navratri: Ek Parichay (An Introduction to Navratri)

Navratri Hindu dharm ke pramukh tyoharon mein se ek hai jo saal mein do baar, Chaitra (spring) aur Sharad (autumn) rituon mein manaya jata hai. Sharad Navratri zyada lokpriya hai aur isse “Maha Navratri” bhi kehte hain. Yeh tyohaar prakriti ke badlaav, naye jeevan aur burai par acchai ki vijay ka prateek hai. Nau dino tak Maa Durga ke nau roopon ki pooja ki jaati hai, har roop ka apna mahatva aur kahani hai.

Navratri ki Kahaniyan: Burai Par Acchai ki Jeet (Stories of Navratri: The Triumph of Good Over Evil)

Navratri ke piche kai pauranik kathayein hain, jinmein se do sabse pramukh hain:

1. Mahishasura Mardini: Devi Durga aur Rakshas ka Vadh

Yeh Navratri ki sabse prachalit kahani hai. Ek samay Mahishasura naam ka ek shaktishali rakshas tha, jise bhagwan Brahma se yeh vardan mila tha ki use koi devta ya purush nahi maar sakta. Iss vardan ke ghamand mein, usne swarg par aakraman kar diya aur devtaon ko parast kar diya. Jab sabhi devta nirash ho gaye, toh unhone apni shaktiyan ekatrit karke ek divya nari shakti ko utpann kiya – Maa Durga.

Maa Durga ne nau dino tak Mahishasura se ghor yudh kiya. Har din unhone Mahishasura ke ek naye roop ka vinash kiya. Dasvein din, jise Vijayadashami kehte hain, Maa Durga ne Mahishasura ka vadh kar ke duniya ko uske atyacharon se mukt kiya. Isliye Navratri nari shakti, sahas aur burai par acchai ki vijay ka prateek hai.

2. Lord Rama aur Lanka Vijay

Ek aur prasiddh katha Bhagwan Rama se judi hai. Mana jata hai ki jab Bhagwan Ram apni patni Sita ko Lankapati Raavan se mukt karane ke liye Lanka ki yatra par the, toh unhone Maa Durga ka aashirwad prapt karne ke liye unki pooja ki. Bhagwan Ram ne nau dino tak Maa Durga ki aradhana ki, aur dasvein din Maa Durga ke aashirwad se unhone Raavan ka vadh kiya. Isliye Uttar Bharat mein Navratri ke dauran Ram Leela ka aayojan hota hai, jismein Bhagwan Ram ke jeevan ki ghatnaon ko natak ke roop mein darshaya jata hai, aur Dashehra par Raavan, Meghnad aur Kumbhkaran ke putle jalaye jaate hain.

Navratri Kaise Manate Hain? (How is Navratri Celebrated?)

Navratri ka celebration kshetra ke anusar alag-alag hota hai, lekin har jagah ek common thread hai – bhakti aur utsah.

• Ghatsthapana aur Pooja: Navratri ke pehle din “Ghatsthapana” ki jaati hai, jismein ek kalash mein jal, nariyal aur aam ke patte rakhe jaate hain, aur mitti ke bartan mein jaware boye jaate hain. Yeh shubhta aur samriddhi ka prateek hai. Nau dino tak, gharon aur mandiron mein Maa Durga ki murti ya tasveer ki vishesh pooja, aarti aur mantras ka jaap kiya jata hai.
• Vrat aur Upvaas: Bhakt nau dino tak vrat rakhte hain. Kuch log “nirjala” (bina pani ke) vrat rakhte hain, jabki zyada log “phalahari” vrat (phal, sabudana, kuttu ka atta, singhade ka atta aadi) rakhte hain. Vrat rakhne se sharir aur mann shudh hote hain.
• Garba aur Dandiya Raas: Gujarat aur Maharashtra mein Navratri ka matlab hai Garba aur Dandiya ki dhoom. Rang-birange chaniya choli aur kediya pehenkar, log traditional Gujarati lok geeton par taaliyan bajate hue “Garba” karte hain aur dandiye ke saath “Dandiya Raas” khelte hain. Poori raat mahol roshan aur oorjawan bana rehta hai.
• Durga Puja Pandals: Paschim Bengal aur purvi Bharat mein Navratri ko “Durga Puja” ke roop mein manaya jata hai. Bade-bade aur khoobsurat pandals sajaye jaate hain, jismein Maa Durga ki vishal aur kalaatmak murtiyan sthapit ki jaati hain. Yeh pandals kala, sanskriti aur parampara ka adbhut pradarshan hote hain, jahan log ek saath milkar Maa ka aashirwad lete hain aur bhoj ka anand lete hain.
• Kanya Pujan: Ashtami ya Navami ke din, “Kanya Pujan” ka aayojan hota hai, jismein chhoti ladkiyon ko Maa Durga ka roop maan kar unke pair dhoye jaate hain, unhe bhojan (halwa, poori, chana) karaya jata hai aur uphar diye jaate hain.
• Ram Leela: Uttar Bharat mein, is dauran Ram Leela ka manchan kiya jata hai jo Bhagwan Ram ke jeevan ki kahani ko darshata hai. Dussehra ke din, Raavan dahan ke saath iska samapan hota hai.

Navratri 2025: Naya Josh, Naye Rang (Navratri 2025: New Zeal, New Colors)

2025 ki Navratri bhi poore desh mein ek naye josh aur utsah ke saath manayi jayegi. Shehron mein bade-bade Garba aur Dandiya events organize honge, jahan yuva aur buzurag sab ek saath milkar celebration karenge. Social media par log apni pooja, vrat aur rang-birange outfits ki tasveerein aur videos share karenge, tyohaar ki khushi ko aur badhayenge. Mandiron mein vishesh aartis aur jagran ka aayojan hoga, jahan bhakt Maa ka aashirwad lene ke liye ikkathe honge.

Navratri sirf ek dharmik tyohaar nahi, balki ek samajik aur saanskritik utsav hai jo logon ko ekjut karta hai, prem aur bhaichara badhata hai. Yeh ek mauka hai jab hum apni paramparao ko jeete hain aur Maa Durga se shakti, shanti aur samriddhi ka aashirwad mangte hain.
