1.Navarathri


9 divine days will be spent in work shipping Devi. First three days durga , next three days lekshmi , the last three days saraswathi. We invoke differenet Goddesses so that we will be succeeded in all phases of life. During navarathri it is customary to read 'sri devi bhagavatam'. If a house contain copy of this book , well work shipped regularly, the house and the people in it will be blessed.

2.Gyanaswarupini


On the tenth day we celebrate 'vijayadashami'. It is the day when we start new beginning. Devi is considered as 'Gyanaswarupini'- someone who is the ultimate knowledge and ultimate truth. We pray "lead us from avidya to vidya"

3.Prapanchasatya

In simple words prapanchasatya can be stated as"WHAT WE SEE IS NOT THERE. WHAT WE DON'T SEE REALLY EXISIT".
