Navaratri: Do’s & Don’ts
Navaratri is more than a festival. It is a time for discipline, devotion and inner renewal.
The DOs
» Begin your day with prayer or meditation to cultivate calmness and clarity.
» Eat simple, sattvic food if your tradition permits, it encourages mindful eating.
» Practise kindness, charity and self control.
» Keep your surroundings clean as a mark of respect and purity.
» Set an intention for the nine days, something you wish to improve within yourself.
DON’T
» Avoid anger, harsh words and unnecessary conflicts.
» Refrain from intoxicants and excesses if observing a vrat.
» Don’t treat fasting as a competition, respect your body’s needs.
» Avoid judging others’ faith or rituals.
Theee is a deeper meaning..
Navaratri symbolises the victory of inner strength over negativity.
The real vrat is not just about food, it is also about the thoughts, words and actions we choose. 🙏
