| Kumari Puja or Kanya Poojan is one of the main rituals during Durga Navratri. In some places, it is a daily ritual of 9 day-festival. Why Kanya Pujan is performed as a part of Durga Puja? This is a perplexing question we were aksed several times here. Durga or any other Mother Goddess is equal to the universal energy. To recongnise the feminine energy vested in virgin girl or Kumari and to support them with some offerings Kanya Puja is performed. To say that they are as important as boy child or so-called heirs, Kumari Pooja is a must observed ritual in any puja. Goddess Durga is worshipped in nine avatars during Navratri. Some of the forms appear in Kumari or Kanya form of the Goddess like Bala Tripura Sundari and some other manifestations of Navadurga. To please the Goddess, puja to virgin girl is important. One year old girls are not allowed to be worshipped as Kanya because they dont able to receive bhogas and granthas.
Here is a compilation of mantras or slokas to be recited during Kanya puja to particular age girl Kumarasya cha thathwanni yaa srujathyapi leelaya Kaadeenapi cha devam stham kumareem pujaya myaham Trimurti Puja Stotram Sathwadhibhi sthreemurti rya thwairhi nanaswarupini Trikaala vyaapini shakti – sthreemurthim pujayamyaham Rohayaniti cha beejani pragjanma sanchaitanivai Yaa devi sarvabhootanam rohineem pujayamyaham Kali kalayathe sarvam brahmandam sacharacharam Kalpantha samaya yaa thaam kalikaam pujayamyaham Chandikam chandarupaam cha chandamunda vinashineem Thaam chanda papaharineem chandikaam pujayamyaham Aakaranaa thsamutpatthi ryanmayai parikeerthitha Yasya sthaam sukhadaam deveem shambhaveem pujayamyaham Durga thrayathi bhaktam yaa sadaa durgarthinashini Durgneyaa sarvadevanam thaam durgaam pujayamyaham Subhadrani cha bhaktanam kuruthe pujitha sadaa Abhadranashinim deveem subhadram pujayamyaham Related Posts:
