We celebrate Navarathri every year as a triumph of Goddes Durga over the demon Mahisasura. The celebration lasts 9 nights, each devoted to Maa Durga and her 9 avatars.
The Goddess Siddhidhatri is the primary deity on Navaratri’s 9th day.
Who is Goddess Siddhidhatri?
Goddess Siddhidhatri is the giver of higher spiritual powers, which can be attained through relentless ascetic practices or meditation.
Maa Siddhidhatri rules all Siddhis. Asta Siddhis are popular among Siddas.
The Ashta Siddhis:
Anima (reducing body to as small as a size as an atom)
Mahima (expanding body as large as the universe)
Garima (getting heavy)
Laghima (becoming weightless)
Prapti (key to all the places)
Prakamya (achieving whatever one can dream)
Ishitva ( power over nature)
Vashitva or Vashikarana (dominion over all living and non-living things)
Devi Siddhidhatri Mantra:
Om Devi Siddhidatryai Namaha
Prayer for Siddhidhatri:
Siddha Gandarva Yakhaadyair Asurair Amarair api
Sevyamaanaa sada bhuyat siddhidha Siddhidaayini
I wish that Goddess Siddhidhatri is always there to protect you from all problems in life.
May this Navratri be full of happiness and good health for you.
