Shravana Masik Durgashtami

Welcome to onlinenakshatra Podcast. Today, we are going to explore the significance of Shravana Masik Durgashtami. This is a special day dedicated to Goddess Durga, celebrated on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the waxing moon in the month of Shravana. It’s a time when devotees come together to honour and worship the divine mother, seeking her blessings for strength, protection, and peace.

On this day, many devotees observe a fast from sunrise to sunset. Fasting is seen as a way to purify the body and mind, making one more receptive to the Goddess's blessings. Special prayers and pujas are performed, often at temples dedicated to Durga. These rituals include offering flowers, fruits, and sweets to the Goddess, along with reciting her mantras and hymns.

Shravana Masik Durgashtami is believed to be particularly powerful for removing obstacles in life. It is said that by worshipping Durga on this day, one can overcome challenges and invite positive energy into their life. Families also come together to participate in the rituals, making it a day of community and spiritual bonding.
