Sun Turning Debilitated In Libra

By Nitin Datta

On 17th October 2013 Sun is turning debilitated (very weak) for one complete month. This period demands some serious attention on account of weakness in the results delivered by Sun.

Sun debilitates (in Libra) every year during this period i.e. mid of October but this time it is going to encounter a painful conjunction with Rahu and Saturn in Libra. Sun and Rahu are arch enemies likewise, Sun and Saturn are also arch enemies. The negativity caused to Sun would be heightened to the fullest level due to combined effects of Rahu and Saturn. Such a conjunction happens once in eighteen years and leads to severe Dosha for those born under this period. In transit it can cause severe problems to everyone in significations related to Sun.

Primarily Sun signifies soul, father, boss and government. Any affliction to all of these or any of these can result in serious problems. This period demands certain strict precautions combined with some specific remedies to counter the ill effects of Sun. The following are the precautions and remedies for all ascendants/lagna that can help in bypassing this period.

• Avoid anger in order to overcome any unnecessary problems.
• Do not initiate any new venture/project during this period.

Remedies To Be Followed

• Recite “Shri Vishnu Sahastranaam” everyday.
• Flux (visarjan) 21 pieces of almond (badam) or 11 coins of copper in a flowing stream of water regularly.

Durga Visarjan: Maa Durga’s Holy Departure To Abode

Durga Visarjan marks the ending of Durga Puja festivities as on this day Maa Durga departs back to her abode (Mount Kailash). A popular tradition of Sindur Khela is performed prior to the immersion. Durga Visarjan is the most eye-catching event in Maharashtra, Bengal and Gujarat and is celebrated with a bang.

Durga Visarjan is celebrated on the last day of Navratri. On this day, the idols of Maa Durga are worshipped for the last time by their devotees. They put vermilion on the forehead of the Goddess and perform Aarti. Idols of the Goddess are taken out in procession in which the devotees sing and dance praising Maa Durga. “Dhunchi” dance is also performed in front of the Goddess while drummers beat their drums traditionally. A smoking mixture of tinder, camphor, coconut husk (dhuno) and incense are poured inside the brimmed pots of clay (dhunuchi). These pots are held by the devotees in their hands while they sway to the beats of dhakis. The dance gets more intense with the rise in tempo of the dhakis. The idols are finally immersed in the rivers or lakes and the celebration comes to an end. With the immersion of the idols in water the devotees feel sad as the Goddess goes back to her abode after so many days of celebrations and rituals.

In many regions of India, Goddess Durga’s Darpana Visarjan is performed in the morning and idol immersion is done in the evening. On this occasion, families, relatives and friends visit each other and exchange sweets and gifts.

Sindur Khela

Married women dress traditionally and put vermilion on their foreheads as a part of their Sindoor Khela Ritual. With this custom they ask Mother Durga to bless longevity to their husbands and prosperity for the family. 

Visarjan Ritual

After performing Udwasan puja, the idols of Goddess Durga are carried on Rath (Chariot) and immersed in water. Before immersing the idols they are placed in the pandals right from the sixth day of Navratri. This ritual is also known as Durga Nimajjan and is generally celebrated on Vijay Dashmi Day. Devotees loudly chant the name of the Goddess and the whole atmosphere itself depicts the importance this day holds.

Durga Visarjan is celebrated on Vijay Dashmi but in some regions of the country it is celebrated on Navami also.

Dussehra also known as Vijayadashami is the culmination of 9 days of Navratri festivities. It is the day when Lord Rama killed the King of Lanka, Ravana and also the day when Goddess Durga killed the evil king Mahishasur. This is a grand festival celebrated on the 10th day of Ashwin month all across India. Schools, colleges, government offices, banks are declared a holiday. 

There are two main legends marking this day as important. 

1. Lord Rama kills King Ravana
2. Goddess Durga kills Mahishasur

An End To King Ravana

This day marks the end of the battle between Lord Rama and King Ravana, with the killing of King Ravana. According to legends, Lord Rama performed a Durga puja or Chandi Homa before he went into war with the King. It is during this puja that Lord Rama gained the knowledge of how to kill Ravana. With this knowledge Rama, Laxman, Hanuman and their followers marched to Lanka and killed King Ravana and rescued Sita Maa who was abducted by the evil King. 

People perform many Homas and pujas on this day to purify the atmosphere of the house and rid it off bad vibes.

Maa Durga, Goddess of power, the Goddess who took avatar to put an end to evil.

Maa Durga rides on the ferocious Lion who will induce fear in anyone who possess evil. She has 10 hands which hold the weapons to kill and destroy the evil. The war between Maa Durga and Mahishasur which lasted for 10 days, came to an end on this day with the death of Mahishasur. As such this day is celebrated with much zest and fervour by one and all to mark the end of Navratri festivities.

Rituals performed

On the 9th day (Navami), a special homa is performed and before that all the Gods and Goddesses are worshipped. Shlokas of Durga Sapta Shati are chanted while giving the Ahuti to the Gods and Goddesses. Beej Mantra (“Om Hrim Kalin Chamundaya Vichche Namoh Namah”) of the Goddess is recited 108 times while giving Ahuti to her. Lord Shiva and Brahma are worshipped in the end. The sacred fire is cooled down with holy water and the ashes obtained from this are believed to keep the evils and fear away. In the end Prasad is distributed among the devotees.

Durga Puja is performed in many homes and Kanya Puja is also performed in which nine young girls are worshipped as they symbolize the nine Avatars of Maa Durga. 

Significance of Worshipping the Goddess

The glory of Devi Siddhidatri is infinite. On this day the temples are decorated beautifully to worship all the nine forms of the Goddess. Manav (Human), Danav (Demons), Deva (Gods), Yaksha (Demigods), Gandharva and Kinnar (Beast) all worship her with devotion and the Devi showers her compassion on them. The Goddess offers all eight types of perfection (Sidddhi) to her devotees and therefore, she is known as “Siddhidatri”. On this day wearing pink colored clothes is considered auspicious.

Devi Bhagvata Purana

In the Hindu Scripture, Devi Bhagvata Purana, narrated a story, according to which Lord Shiva worshipped Goddess Siddhidatri to obtain all the Siddhis. His wish was accepted by the Goddess and she blesses him with all kinds of Siddhis (powers). After receiving the Siddhis, one half of the body of Lord Shiva became like the Goddess, due to which his body transformed into two parts, half man and the other half into women. For this reason Lord Shiva is also known as Ardhanarishwaar which means Ardha (Half) + Nari (Female) + Ishwar (God). 

Maha Navami is celebrated on the ninth and final day of Navratri. This day is the last day of Durga Puja also. The celebrations and rituals performed on this day vary from region to region all over India. In South India, Ayudha Puja is celebrated on this day and all utensils, tools and books are worshipped. 

With this day ends the nine divine days and nights of Navratri and comes Dussehra on the next day.
