A Guide to Navratri
A practical, modern guide to understanding and observing Navratri in your own home.
Many of us grew up doing Hinduism before we really understood it. We fasted, prayed, lit our diyas and followed the traditions handed down to us — but we didn’t always know why.
A Guide to Navratri was created to help change that.
This beautifully illustrated 28-page guide takes you through the meaning of Navratri, the nine forms of Durga, preparing your home, choosing how you would like to observe the festival, fasting, simple prayers and some of the traditions many of us grew up with.
Inside you’ll find practical guidance on the Navadurga, setting up your prayer space, Kalash, khetri, Akhand Jyoti, Halwa Puri prayers, Dussehra, and answers to some of the questions that come up every Navratri.
Most importantly, this isn’t a book of rigid rules.
Hindu practice differs between families, communities and traditions, and your Navratri does not have to look exactly like somebody else’s to be meaningful. Whether your observance is simple, traditional or more intensive, this guide is intended to help you understand what you are doing, why you are doing it, and how to make the nine nights more meaningful in your own home.
