9-day worship of the mother Goddess:
The most popular form of celebration across people in various sub-groups is the respect given to the mother Goddess during the 9 days observed as the Navaratri festival. The most popular type of prayers is to dedicate three days each to Durga (strength), Lakshmi(wealth) and Saraswathi(knowledge) respectively. For Sri Vaishnavas, this would imply paying respects to our dear Maha Lakshmi thaayar, the divine consort of Sriman Narayana.
Why only Maha Lakshmi? When our hearts are dedicated to the lotus feet of Vishnu, we would realise that the Goddess ‘Sri’ He shelters in His right chest would encompass all the auspiciousness one prays for during this period. This has also been represented by the ‘Ashtalakshmi’ or 8 forms of the mother Goddess.
(a) During the first 3 days of Navaratri, we would pay our respects to the powers of strength and courage.
DHAIRYA LAKSHMI is the form of Lakshmi as the Goddess of courage.
(b) During the next 3 days of Navaratri, we would pay our respects to the divine representation of wealth and prosperity.
ADI LAKSHMI (The primordial Goddess), DHANA LAKSHMI (The Goddess of wealth), DHAANYA LAKSHMI (The Goddess of food grains), GAJALAKSHMI(The Goddess of auspiciousness and prosperity),SANTHAANA LAKSHMI (The Goddess who blesses one with off-springs) are the forms which are to be worshipped.
(c) During the final 3 days of Navaratri, we pay our respects to the divine representation of knowledge.
VIDHYA LAKSHMI (the Goddess of knowledge and wisdom) and VIJAYA LAKSHMI (The Goddess of victory and success) are to be worshipped.
