Navratri 2019: Things You Need To Avoid During Navratri
Navratri is around the corner and the preparations are in full swing. People are enjoying the festival and worshipping Goddess Durga, the epitome of power. This year Navratri has started on 29 September 2019. This nine days festival is observed as one of the most important festivals for Hindus.
During Navratri, Goddess Durga along with her nine other forms is offered prayers. It is believed that Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh (Lord Shiva) along with other Gods felt that they were incapable to defeat Mahishasur, the powerful buffalo demon. Hence all gods decided to embody their power into one to create the one who could defeat the demon. This is how Goddess Durga originated.
While you are all set to worship the different forms of Goddess Durga, you must know there are certain things and rules you need to keep in mind. Here is the entire list of the most important rules to be observed. Take a look.
Bad Hygiene
Cleanliness is of prime importance while observing fasts, more so for pleasing Goddess Durga. The entire house should be cleaned well before the Navratri begins. Besides this, gangajal can be sprinkled before setting up Navratri Kalash. Physical cleanliness involves taking bath two times a day (for the one who observes the fast or is responsible for maintenance of the temple). Shaving, haircut and cutting nails should be avoided even by those who are not observing the fasts.
Also, one should get rid of evil thoughts. You need to ensure inner purity as well.

Consumption Of Alcohol And Non-Veg Foods
There are some rules regarding eating that need to be observed. While one should abstain from eating non-vegetarian foods, drinking of alcohol is also strictly prohibited. Another very important rule is that one should strictly avoid consumption of onion, garlic and red chilli during these nine days. These foods generate tamsik energy (aggression and negativity), hence are believed to be inauspicious.
Sleeping
Sleeping during the daytime is also prohibited for these nine days. It is said that sleeping during the day symbolises laziness. Goddess Durga is seen as the one who is full of energy and ready to fulfill her duties.
Moreover, it is said that everybody in the family of the person observing the fasts, should sleep on the floor. In fact, sleeping or sitting on a raised platform should also be avoided.
Physical Relations
One should practice complete celibacy during these nine days. One should abstain from making physical relations as well as other immoral activities such as gambling and stealing. These are considered unpardonable sins, especially if done during Navratri.

Clothes Made Up Of Leather
Rules regarding clothes are also to be observed. One should not wear clothes made using leather at all. Not just clothes, wearing shoes of this material as well, need to be avoided. It is said that since leather is made using animal skin, it should not be used during the festival. Similarly, wearing black colour during Navratri is also prohibited.
We wish you a Happy Navratri and may Goddess Durga bless you with strength, wisdom and positivity.
