Category: Navarathri

Navarathri is the alternate-transliteration category for the nine-night Devi festival — covering Vamanan Sesshadri’s teachings on Devi worship across the Sharad (autumn) and other seasonal Navaratris observed throughout the Hindu year. The guides here explain the significance of each of the nine goddess forms, the day-by-day worship sequence, the regional traditions (Tamil Golu, Bengali Durga Puja, North Indian Ram Leela), the specific mantras to chant each day and the fasting and dietary guidelines observed. You will also find guidance on setting up a home Navarathri altar, the specific offerings for each day, and the targeted parihara Navarathri uniquely enables for women seekers, family welfare and overcoming karmic obstacles. Global Hindu families — especially across Tamil Nadu and the diaspora — rely on this structured nine-day sadhana for annual spiritual renewal. Vamanan Sesshadri’s consultation experience with hundreds of Navarathri seekers informs practical guidance. Book a consultation for personalised Devi-form sadhana and browse the guides below.
