Navratri: Day 7

-

 


The 7th day of Navaratri is dedicated to Maa Kaalratri, the 7th form of Maa Durga. Here, Kaala means time and ratri means death and Kaalratri means the One who is the Death of Kaal. She is destroyer of evils.

She is of dark complexion, rides a donkey, and is depicted with four hands - her right hands in Abhaya and Varada Mudra and her left hands holding a sword and a deadly iron hook.

Maa Kaalratri governs the Crown Chakra or Sahasra and provides the Siddhi to the seeker. The Crown chakra is the centre of absolute consciousness, which is located at the top of the head. In reality, it is not a chakra at all, as it is beyond the mind itself. Sahasrara represents the highest point in human evolution. It is a control centre which controls the awakening of all the other chakras. When Kundalini reaches Sahasrara is when self-realisation or enlightenment take place. Individual consciousness is replaced by Universal consciousness at this level.

एकवेणी जपाकर्णपूरा नग्ना खरास्थिता, 

लम्बोष्टी कर्णिकाकर्णी तैलाभ्यक्तशरीरिणी।


वामपादोल्लसल्लोहलताकण्टकभूषणा, 

वर्धनमूर्धध्वजा कृष्णा कालरात्रिर्भयंकरी॥


या देवी सर्वभू‍तेषु मां कालरात्रि रूपेण संस्थिता।

नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥

On the first day of Navratri (September 22, 2025), Shailaputri (Mother Nature) or BalaTripura Sundari is worshipped. Shailaputri as the name suggests means Daughter of the Mountain.  She is depicted as sitting on a Nandi bull (which represents righteousness & strength), carrying a flower in her left hand and a trident in the right. She has all the divine powers of Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. She is the ruler of Moon planet and people who are affected by the Moon or have psychological issues, can worship Maa Shailputri and seek blessings.  In the Yogic sense, she represents the highest peak or highest level of consciousness . Spiritually, as per Kundalini Shastras, We have 7 Chakras. The first one is Root Chakra (Muladhara). Shailaputri is known as Goddess of Mooladhara i.e. on awakening the root chakra , one begins their journey towards spiritual awakening (upward journey of Shakti toward Shiva, who resides in the Crown Chakra) and discovers their purpose in l...
