Then the person will radiate with confidence. No one will dare to harm dedicated devotee of Durga. It is high time that one acquires the strength and power, become Durga. Acquire the power of Chandi , Kali, Chamunda and Durga. Have the courage and will power to rule the world.

It’s is very auspicious to start chanting ‘NAVARAN MANTRA’ from this Ashwin Navaratri. Don’t stop with the Navaratri. Chant daily. Chanting mantra 108 times daily takes only 3 minutes. Understand that devi Durga herself is advising you to start chanting the mantra. It is recommended to chant the mantra 125,000 times during Navaratri. However, one can chant daily 1/3/5/7/9 malas.

Here it’s very important to learn the story of why all the Gods invoked shakti to protect them from mighty Shumbh-Nishumbh and Chand-Mund and Raktabeej.

Durga-Saptashati is considered as very powerful by all devotees of ‘SHAKTI’. The devotees regularly do anushthan of Durga-Saptashati in each Navaratri and perform homam. All the negativity and obstacles get removed and the devotee becomes successful in all his/her endeavour. There are many powerful mantras which are used as a remedy to overcome the problems- such as victory over the invincible enemy, getting wealth, get rid of diseases etc.

The story narrated in ‘Durg Saptashati’ is as follows:


Shumbh and Nishumbh were very powerful demons and were invincible. They had defeated every one in trilok, even the Gods; and were ruling the three worlds (त्रैलोक्य). They had seized all the powers from the Gods. Entire wealth / precious things were seized by them. Helpless Gods went into hiding in the Himalayas. At last, they surrendered to the Goddess Bhagavati / Jadamaba/ Parvati (these are names of the Goddess, she is one and the same). They requested her to protect them from Shumbh-Nishumbh. Goddess defeated mighty Dhumralochan, Raktabeej, Chand, Mund, and finally Shumbh and Nishumbh. The three worlds got freedom from the demons Shumbh and Nishumbh, whom no one could defeat.

As Kali defeated Chand and Mund demons, she is called ‘Chamunda’.

As goes naturally, navaran mantra gives you power of almighty Goddess. The mantra is called Navarn because it has 9 syllables. The number 9 is special number. When any number is multiplied with 9, the result is multiple of 9 itself. The number has tremendous power.
