Significance of Navratri and Durga Puja

Recently, some spiritual seekers and researchers asked me about the science and significance of navratri and how this time can be effectively used for the purification of our body and mind.  The main significance of Navratri is celebrating the victory of good over evil and above all embracing the spirit of joy and oneness, and leaving behind all that is limiting and hindering our growth as spiritual being. 

From the context of social science, navratri is the period of mixing with people, creating new relationships and reviving the old relationships with new vitality. Our hormones regulates our physiological activities and maintains homeostasis in the body. During navratri, our hormonal and inner transformations takes place in different way, which affects different biological cycles.

Awareness meditations about our biological cycles during this period can help you to de-clutter your mind and removes the mental toxins like fear, anger, hatred, addiction, attachment, anxiety and depressions.
