Gupt Navratri Begins Today; Know Benefits, Rituals & More
Here are certain benefits and rituals of Gupt Navratri, take a look.
Navratri is celebrated four times in a year. Two times, Navratri falls in the Chaitra and Ashwin months and is called Open Navratri or Pratyaksh Navratri. The other two times, Navratri takes place in the Ashadh and Magh months and is known as the Secret Navratri or Gupt Navratri. The festival is called Gupt Navratri because very few people know about it. The festival is mainly observed by the Sadhakas.
The most general practice that is observed during all the four times Navratri is celebrated is paying homage to the Goddesses Saraswati, Lakshmi and Durga. All the nine forms of Devi Durga are revered during the nine days of Navratri.
The Difference Between Pratyaksh And Gupt Navratri

Navratri

in
a
secluded
way
only
in
Devi
Durga's
company.

Goddess
is
appeased
by
chanting
Tantra
Mantras
and
other
types
of
strong
invocations.

festival
just

days

particular
rituals.
Devotees
keep
