The Legend of Navratri Festival

The legend is related behind the festival of Navaratri according to North India. A legend of Demon Mahishasura and Goddess Shakti-Devi is well-known and famous. The demon named Mahishasura was blessed with the power of eternity from God Shiva and very shortly, he started to harass and kill the people and commence his rule and decided to succeed in winning the all three lokas.

The Gods of Heaven requested God Shiva to heal the problem. Then to protect the earth from the harassment of demon Mahisasura, the Trinity Gods-Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva gathered the power and a divine devi-a female warrior was created as Goddess Durga.

When Mahisasura saw her, he attracted and asked her to marry him. Maa Durga agreed with his proposal on one condition that he would win her in battle. He also agreed with her condition and then a battle was started between the Mahisashura and Goddess Durga. This battle was continued till nine nights and on the last night of the ninth day, Goddess Durga beheaded Mahisasura.

Ganesh Visrajan

The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated for 10 days and after 10 days the time comes to immerse the God Ganesha. It becomes so hard to immerse the lord Ganesha whom we keep at our home or in like campsite.

Between these 10 days, God Ganesha is worshipped with Pooja, Archana, Bhajans, Aarti every day. We care, pray, offer the sweet dishes to God Ganesha for 10 days. Every devotee has full faith as they believe that God Ganesha takes away all troubles and spreads the happiness so that God Ganesha also famed as “Vignaharta Vinayaka”. The all devotees feel very happy and enjoy these days.

As the limitations of the Ganesh festival celebrations stays only for 10 days after the all celebrations at the time of immerse, people feel very sadness and with a heavy heart the beautifully carved and decorated statues of God Ganesha have been immersed into the holy river, lake or into the ocean all over the India. This day is called as “Anant Chaturthi” or “God Ganesha Visarjan (Immersion)”.

Ganesh Visarjan (immersion) day is an enormous and extensive affair not only in particular region but so many states mainly in Maharastra and Gujarat. Mainly in Mumbai city, the ceremony of Visarjan is necessary to see as it extends right through the night.

The huge idols of God Ganesha are put onto the back of trucks and runs in the way very slowly. Most of the devotees perform the dance in crowd and make the processions with DJs and bands. Devotees loudly say,” Ganapati Bappa Moriya, Pudhchya Varshi lavkar ya” means “Ganapati Bappa Moriya, come early on next year”.

When the devotees reach at the place of immerse, at the holy river, lake or ocean, they performs some pooja archana through the Brahmana and tell the Ganesha come next year early and then with faith they do the immersion (Visarjan) of Lord Ganesha. Devotees feel very sad at the time of immsersion and their eyes filled with tears of sadness.

Really the festival, celebrations of God Ganesha at “Ganesh Chaturthi-Vinayaka Chaturthi” and “Anant Chaturthi-Ganesha Visarjan-Ganesha Immersion is really very magnificence.
