Dedicated to the worship of the Divine Mother, Goddess Durga, Navratri is one of the most cherished times of year for Sanatana dharma.
Actually meaning “nine nights,” the word “Navratri” represents a time of commitment, cleansing, and metamorphosis. Devotees from around India and other countries engage themselves in prayers, fasting, and the worship of the feminine divine energy (Shakti) that maintains the universe during these nine fortunate nights.
Life Lessons from Navratri
Navratri provides deep life lessons with an eye toward inner strength, resiliency, and change.The event reminds us that we have to face our own inner demons—be they fear, ego, or self-doubt—and rise over them, just as Maa Durga battles and triumphs over darkness and negativity. Every day of Navratri reminds us to embrace virtues like bravery, discipline, and compassion and help the divine power within of us. By means of attention, dedication, and self-reflection, it helps us to cleanse not just our outward life but also our inner selves. One should concentrate on developing good habits like frequent meditation, self-discipline, and thankfulness if one is to really maximize the energy of Navratri. This is also a moment to let go of relationships, ideas, and behaviors that no longer forward our development. By means of kindness, acts of service, and pursuit of balance in all spheres of life, we can enable us to match the core of the festival—renewal and empowerment.
Navratri 2024
In 2024, Navratri is beginning on Oct 3, 2024 (Thursday) and will end on Oct 12 2024 (Saturday).
Maa Durga’s Vahan in Shardiya Navratri 2024
The Shashtra reveals
“Shashi Surya Gajarudha Shanibhaumai Turangame | Gurau Shukrecha Dolayam Budhe Naukāprakīrtitā”
In simpler words, in 2024, since Navratri begins on Thursday, the Maa Durga will arrive on palki (palanquin)
Furthermore, the Navratri will conclude on Saturday with Dusshera, hence the vehicle of departure of maa durga will be Charanayuddha.
The Planetary Combinations of Navratri 2024
Twin Eclipses Lunar & Solar eclipses had been witnessed by world over last few weeks and today, the Saturn (natural ruler of 10th and 11th house in Kaal Purush Kundali) will be entering into nakshatra of Rahu Dev on Oct 3 itself. Furthermore, the presence of extra outer planets i.e. Uranus in Taurus (Ruled by Venus) along with Jupiter; Neptune in Pisces (ruled by Jupiter) along with Rahu Dev and Pluto in Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) are also not signalling very positive time ahead.
What Does this mean for World Order
A careful summative assessment of twin eclipses, transits of upcoming time period and arrival & departure Vahan of maa durga during Shardiya Navaratri 2024 is not revealing a very auspicious time ahead for the world order.
Geopolitics
The governments across world will witness significant opposition from people at large and the law & order agencies will be on toes. Political instability at world order, military coup also looks on radar. The world may witness sudden demise of big political leader (ex-leaders) especially from the country’s top leadership.
India, is comparatively on safer side attributed to current ongoing dasha of country, as well as of Narendra Modi ji, hence the impact would be less, however, effect would be seen in India as well.
Public Order
Stampede & fire related accidents are likely to be witnessed during Navratri celebrations as well as over next 3 months and hence urging governments and people to be cautious in this direction.
Natural disasters like flood, earthquake, landslide, and other unseen disasters are likely to witness unprecedented growth over next 3 -12 months.
The World may witness other epidemic over next 3-12 months in certain parts of the world which may affect skin, respiratory systems and reproductive health of the world.
War Like Situation to witness surge
The ongoing war like activities may see a spike and intensified and new countries will jump into the same as well. India also need to be cautious on both internal and external borders as small war like situation is likely to happen over next 3-12 months.
Economy
The global economy will see extreme volatility and may correct itself significantly over next 3-6 months. India on the other hand will be able to keep it isolated from this to a great extent.
The world of science & technology will witness new researches and evolutions which will add value to the human kind. Significant research in the area of aliens will see new light over next 3-12 months.
What One Should Do
For personal life evolvement and keeping safe and family safe:
Spiritual Invoking
Daily prayers, Durga Saptashati recitations, and meditation can help you to strengthen your spiritual practices in search of Maa Durga’s protection and direction.
Act of kindness
Karma is strong and good deeds can act as a shield during cosmic turmoil. Negative energy can be balanced by charity, assisting those in need, and positive spreading.
Mindful Planning
Stay cool under possible political or social upheaval and be careful with financial decisions. Often the best reactions to difficult planetary alignments are pragmatism and patience.
