VASANTHA NAVARATHRI SIGNIFICANCE:
Maa Parvati (Mother Divine)
Vasantha Navarathri - the most auspicious time:
What is Vasantha Navarathri? Vasantha means "spring" Nava means "Nine" and ratris means
"Nights". Vasantha Navarathri or the nine nights of spring, fall in the Vedic calendar in the
month of Chaitra (spring). The Divine Mother or the Adiparashakti (Supreme Power) in one of
her immanent forms manifests through the Nature, as flowers blossom and trees turn green in
spring. Hence, Spring is the season of rejuvenating of life and natures turns beautiful with all
animals coming back from their hibernations, birds chirping and flying happily in the sky, grass
turns lush green, all plants and trees blooming with colorful flowers and fruits. As for the

Mother Earth, She is the provider of vegetation, shelter and nourishment to everyone. Therefore
the Hindu Shastras claim that - The reverence for the earth spares us catastrophes such as
earthquakes, floods and tsunamis. The Divine Mother’s transcendent power showers prosperity
and joy to all Her devotees who pray perform Pooja which is offer prayer through the rituals
such as (1) Abhishekam - the bathing ceremony and (2) Homa - the fire ceremony.
As we all know, time is the key to many things in life. For every event to attain success or run
smoothly, grow and thrive well, it is essential that the event must begin at right time for it
develop and grow successfully. Nature reflects this example with the onset spring, resulting in
the growth and re-growth of all grass, plants, trees, flowering etc. Similarly for all our mental
(Manasika), spiritual (Adhyatmika), material (Lokaika) progress, prosperity and success, it is
important that we initiate things or events during the Holy, Auspicious time of Vasantha
Navarathri. Just like seedlings grow fast, nurture and establish well during the spring with right
amount of sunlight, soil and water. Similarly, Birds build nests, lay eggs and take good care of
their little ones. Our prayers offered to the Mother Divine with humble devotion and unlimited
gratitude, during this auspicious time of Vasantha Navarathri will result in yielding mental
peace and good health, financial growth and prosperity, victory over obstacles and success in all
events and such many other benefits.
Vedic Yagya Center will be performing Special Poojas (the rituals such as Abhishekam - the holy
bathing ceremonies to the Deities and Homas - the fire ceremonies with the offerings of lotus
flowers, Honey, some special herbs) during the Vasantha Navarathri - the Nine Sacred Nights of
Spring. The schedule of various events by Vedic Yagya Center is as follows:
During Vasantha Navarathri, Nature which is the Representation of God is in the most Generous
Form like a mother is to the child. Hence the Mother Divine is prayed to and Her blessings are
sought after. Mother Divine is known by innumerable names, one of which is - Sri Mahalakshmi
(The great Goddess of wealth & Prosperity). She is offered lotus flowers: "Padmapriye Padmini
Padmahaste Padmalaye, Padmadalaya dakshi......" (One who resides in Lotus, Looks like Lotus,
Smells like lotus, loves & holds lotus flowers, and has eyes that are shaped like lotus petals).
