Key Questions Answered
To seek Goddess Durga's blessings during the nine days of Navratri, devotees can perform five tasks starting from Ashwin Shukla Pratipada: Kalash Sthapana, Durga Saptashati recitation, Navarna mantra chanting, Kanya Bhoj, and acts of donation and human service.
Devotees should ideally read the entire Durga Saptashati every day. Alternatively, if time is limited, they can daily recite the three shields—Devi Kavach, Argala Stotra, and Keelak Stotra—and either read all 13 chapters when time permits or divide the 13 chapters across the nine days.
The Navarna Mantra is 'Om Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundayai Vichche' and worships Goddesses Saraswati, Lakshmi, and Kali. Devotees can chant it daily for at least one mala, which equals 108 times, using a Rudraksha mala during the nine days of Navratri.
