There are four Navratris in a year: Sharadiya Navratri, Chaitra Navratri, and two Gupt Navratris. From a spiritual perspective, Gupt Navratri is very significant. Ma Durga, the foundation of our existence, provides us with inner energy and inspiration. We attain true bliss when we realize the profound connection we share with her divine form.
For spiritual seekers, this period offers a remarkable opportunity to deepen their bond with Maa Durga. Through Nav Durga Sadhana, we can receive her blessings and establish a meaningful and transformative spiritual connection with her.
