Sharad Navaratri 2021: Tritiyam Chandraghanta

Wearing a ‘chandra,’ or half moon on Her forehead in the shape of a ‘ghanta,’ or bell, Goddess Chandraghanta is forceful in a graceful manner.

 

In meditation, as soon as the sadhak (disciple), invokes Her, Her bell immediately becomes active and starts ringing to protect the devotee under Her shelter. The crescent moon is symbolic of feminine energy and is also associated with clairvoyance and knowing without thinking. The crescent moon also represents illumination, new beginnings and making dreams a reality. It is connected to rebirths and how our true essence really is immortal – this is why she is called ‘Chandraghanta.’ Her ornaments are rich and signify material comfort.

 

Anyone who worships Goddess Chandraghanta, attains spiritual bliss. She is easily pleased with devotees who worship Her with full devotion and dedication for which, She offers boons of fame and glory. It is also belueved that the home where She is worshipped becomes holy and pure.

 

Who is Goddess Chandraghanta?

 

Goddess Chandraghanta is the holder of potent energy that is yet to be unleashed. She claims Manipura (Solar Plexus) Chakra as Her own. This Chakra is influenced by the planet Mars. This is symbolized by a lotus with ten petals, this chakra is also known as the ‘nabhi,’ or navel chakra. On this day, while worshipping Goddess Chandraganta, yogis and practitioner of Tantra, meditate while concentrating on the Manipura Chakra and with the grace of Mother Chandraganta, mysteries and divine things can be seen and heard.

 

The position of the Solar Plexus Chakra is best described as four fingerbreadths above the navel. This chakra is where your power and self-confidence manifests.

 

What is “Manipura”?

 

“Manipura,” means a lustrous gem. The jewel or qualities associated with this chakra strengthen the digestive system and the diaphragm. The Solar Plexus focuses on the power and autonomy of metabolism. The element for the Solar Plexus is fire. Activating the fire within moderate body temperature helps in food digestion. It is represented by the colour yellow that brings brightness and balance of energy.

 

The meaning of Manipura is essentially making something of yourself, in big or small ways. Bravery is not the absence of fear, after all. It’s being fearful, but not letting that fear stop you from acting! You can be courageous and assertive without being reckless or controlling! It’s all about balance. If you’ve got problems with facing fears start with one tiny thing per day.

 

Try new food you think you might not like, spark up conversation when waiting in line, speak up in a meeting or class (even just to ask a question!). You’ll find that as these little things add up, you’ll have the confidence to do bigger and bigger things, until your Manipura is thriving!

 

On the psychic level: it controls the will, the ego, the individuality, the expansiveness, self-control, practical intelligence.

 

On the physical level: it coordinates the digestive processes and the activity of the organs in the abdomen.

 

Specific reactions in the case of energetical disturbance: the person in which the energies characteristic to Manipura chakra will strongly struggle for personal power and the recognition of one’s own rights even at the expense of other people’s well-being.

 

Characteristic element: the subtle energies of fire.

Sense organ: eyes.

Sense: sight.

 

The person who focuses intensely and meditates on this chakra and offers diligent sadhna (spiritual practice) to Goddess Chandraghanta gains the capacity of discovering secret treasures. The great yogi Swami Shivananda says that “such a person will not be touched by any disease. He or she will not fear fire. Even if such a person stays in the middle of a burning fire, he or she will not die, nor fear death. His or her will and strength will be amazing.”

 

Offer obeisance to Goddess Chandraghanta on Day 3 of Shrada Navarathri to invoke your willpower as well as the power to withstand the challenges in your path.

 

GODDESS CHANDRAGHANTA PUJA RITUAL

 

Offer jasmine flowers, red roses, 5 vilva leaves, 5 ghee lamps and 3 different types of fruits or prasad (food offerings) at Goddess Chandraghantas feet as offerings from your heart.

 

Pray to Lord Ganesha before you begin your prayers to Her, to remove any obstacles that may hinder your journey to the manipura chakra.

May you be free from self- doubt and limiting thought patterns. May the great Devi gift you the power to discover your self-worth.

 

Jai Maa!
