Chaitra Navratri Festival 2018- 5 Rules You Must Follow During Navratri

Shastri Navaratri is more important according to the scriptures and mythologies. In ancient times, Navaratri, which started with the Navsavsar, was more prevalent. But the importance of Shardi Navaratri in Kali Yuga has increased. Navratri has been considered as a time to awaken spiritual consciousness in the scriptures. Therefore, there are several rules of Navaratri, those who observe the fasting and those who do not perform fasting should also do it.
Must follow these strategies-

# Correctness and purity is essential

Navaratri is a festival associated with purity, in which there is a law of worshiping nine forms of the Goddess while maintaining complete purity and integrity for nine days. Therefore, during Navratri, many devotees avoid washing clothes, shaving, haircut and sleeping on bed or cot.

# According to Vishnu Purana

During Navratri fasting, drinking water frequently, chewing tobacco in the day, and making connection with woman also breaks the fast. That is, the husband and wife should also avoid sleeping in Navratri.

# No marriage

Marriage is not held during Navaratri's days. The main reason for this is that the purpose of marriage is the origin of offspring. However, in the days of Navaratri, there is a rule to stay away from work and woman affair. This is the time to drown in devotion and faith. A person can be deprived of the worship of a mother by having a wedding ceremony.

# Pooja in the night

It is also mentioned in the scriptures that in the days of Navaratri, the worship of the Goddess at night is more fruitful as the Goddess is the form of night and the nature of Lord Shiva day. Therefore, in the days of Navaratri, the mind should be concentrated in the Goddess and not in the other things.

# Adhering to Brahmacharya

People in Navaratri also follow many rules. It is a rule that during Navratras, they have to keep away from making physical connections. Calling Goddess by touching the bed on which the husband and wife make a physical relation, it is considered impure. You can not worship Goddess mother with impure mind, so keep control over yourself for at least nine days during which the Goddess Mother herself comes home.
