Chaitra Navratri: May Maa Durga infuse new energy into resolve of Viksit Bharat, says PM Modi

PM Narendra Modi extends Chaitra Navratri greetings, prays Maa Durga's grace brings new energy to the resolve for a Viksit Bharat.

"May the boundless grace of the Shakti Swaroopa, Maa Durga, bring welfare to everyone, thereby infusing new energy into our resolve for a Viksit Bharat. - PM Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, March 19

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday extended Chaitra Navratri greetings to the countrymen and wished that Goddess Durga's grace brings new energy to the resolution of Viksit Bharat.

India on Thursday is celebrating the first day of Chaitra Navratri, one of the most auspicious Hindu festivals dedicated to Goddess Durga with prayers, fasting and rituals.

Taking to X, PM Modi said, "Heartfelt Navratri greetings to my family members across the country. May this divine occasion of worshipping Shakti bring happiness, good fortune, prosperity, and excellent health to all of you."

"May the boundless grace of the Shakti Swaroopa, Maa Durga, bring welfare to everyone, thereby infusing new energy into our resolve for a Viksit Bharat. Jai Ambe Jagdambe Ma!" he added.

Wishing for everyone's well-being, the Prime Minister added, "On the first day of Navratri, the ritual is to worship Devi Shailaputri, the first form of Maa Durga. May her blessings infuse discipline, peace, and positive energy into everyone's life -- this is the heartfelt wish."

He also attached a YouTube video featuring a devotional song, dedicated to Maa Durga.

The Prime Minister also extended greetings for Nav Samvatsar, the Gujarati Hindu New Year starting Vikram Samvat 2083, invoking blessings for health, courage, and prosperity.

"Greetings to everyone on the very special occasion of Nav Samvatsar. May everyone be blessed with infinite happiness, success and good health. I pray that this coming new year further strengthens the spirit of courage, self-confidence and service in everyone's lives. May it also add renewed momentum to our collective efforts towards nation-building," PM Modi said.

The nine-day festival, also known as Ram Navratri, holds special significance as it culminates on the birth anniversary of Lord Rama and marks the beginning of the Hindu New Year.

Throughout the nine days, devotees celebrate with deep faith and enthusiasm, worshipping the nine forms of Goddess Durga and observing rituals in accordance with the tradition of wearing specific colours associated with each day.

Many devotees begin fasting from Pratipada and continue until Navami, seeking the blessings of the Goddess and spiritual fulfilment.

While I appreciate the Navratri wishes, I feel the message gets a bit diluted when it's immediately tied to a political slogan like 'Viksit Bharat'. Can't festivals just be about faith and community for a moment? The devotional song he shared was nice though.

Nav Samvatsar ki hardik shubhkamnaye! As a Gujarati, it's great he remembered the New Year too. The nine colours, the fasting, the puja... this festival truly brings families together. Here's to a year of health and success for everyone. 🎉

Shailaputri Mata ki jai! On this first day, let's all try to bring that discipline and positive energy into our work and lives. The PM's wish aligns with the core message of Navratri - inner strength leading to outer progress. Good start to the new year!

My mother has started her fast today. The house is filled with the smell of flowers and prasad. These traditions are the soul of India. Whether one agrees with the politics or not, the festival itself is a time for purity and prayer. Happy Navratri!
