The great festival of Sharadiya Navratri is currently taking place, running from October 11th to 19th this year. During this period, favorable astrological combinations such as Gajakesari, Sarvaratasiddha, Budhaditya, and Lakshmi Narayana are expected. Thanks to these events, in addition to the blessings of Mother Durga, one can also receive the grace of Mother Lakshmi.
Astrologers assert that performing specific rituals on the sacred nights of Navratri leads to an increase in prosperity and strengthening of a person's destiny. Some of these recommendations are presented below.
On any night of Navratri, two handfuls of turmeric should be offered to Mother Durga. After this, one must sit before her and recite the Shri Sukta, praying for the resolution of financial difficulties. At the end of Navratri, both handfuls of turmeric should be wrapped in red cloth and hidden in the money storage place or in a safe. According to beliefs, this will ensure the favor of Mother Lakshmi for the entire year, and poverty will leave the doorstep.
If your money is blocked somewhere or you are not receiving debt repayments, be sure to perform the ritual on Friday evening during Navratri. Light a lamp in front of the Tulsi plant and, with hands folded in prayer, ask Mother Lakshmi to return the stuck funds. It is believed that Mother Lakshmi will soon hear your request, and the money will return.
During the sacred days of Navratri, prepare a garland by stringing 27 mango leaves onto a red thread. Then, present this garland to the Goddess at night, wishing for prosperity in work and career. As soon as you find a job, release this garland into the water. According to beliefs, following this reliable method helps a person achieve great success in their career, and obstacles on the path to work disappear on their own.
If you are facing difficulties in getting married, take a whole aromatic stick (supari) and outline it with sindoor on all sides. Then, wrap it in yellow cloth and offer it at the feet of Mother Durga, praying for a speedy marriage. After Navratri ends, place the supari along with the cloth in the bedroom. It is believed that this method is capable of removing obstacles hindering marriage.
