New Delhi: The auspicious occasion of Chaitra Navratri started from March 30 this year, in which Rama Navami was celebrated on 7 April, in which the 9 -day celebration dedicated to Goddess Durga ended. During Navratri, nine different forms of Goddess Durga are worshiped by devotees around the world.
Types of Navratri
There are essentially four types of Navratri throughout the year, each falling in a particular season. However, the most common and widely observed Navratri is Sharad or Shardia Navratri (September-October) and Chaitra Navratri (March-April) respectively. Now, during the nine -day long Hindu festival of Maa Durga, devotees fast and pray to the goddess to give their blessings.
Apart from Chaitra and Sharad Navratri, 2 Gupta Navratris (Gupta Navratri), one, one began at Shukla Paksha Pratipad (Maga Gupta Navratri) of the month of Maga and the other begins in the Shukla Paksha Pratipada of Ashraj month respectively.
Why onion and garlic are banned for 9 days
In Navratri (Whether it is Chaitra or Sharad)The first thing that goes directly out of the kitchen is some foods (read Onion and garlic) Who are embarrassed for these 9 days. But have you ever wondered why? This time we tried to excavate it deeply.
In Hinduism, food items are classified into three parts Rajasic, Tamasic and Sattvik BhojanIt is believed that the righteous foods are those that provide spiritual advancement – it keeps all vegetarian foods in the Sattavik category, with some exceptions.
Sattak diet Seasonal food items, fruits, dairy products, nuts, seeds, oil, ripe vegetables, legumes, whole grains and non-meat-based proteins are important.
Rajsic FoodsOn the other hand, the body and brain have a stimulating effect. It has neither positive nor negative effect on the body. This includes fried objects, strong tasting spices, sweets, yogurt, brinjal, carrot-rash, urad, lemon, lentils, tea-coffee and pan.
Food that bothers the mind or body is considered TamaricIt is believed that it becomes mental dull. Since onion and garlic are classified as tamasic in nature, they are prohibited during the nine-day sacred festival.
Hmm, so now you know why ‘onion-garlic’ live outside their kitchen during Navratri.
Hail mother Goddess!
