Navdurga 3x3 Yantra

नवदुर्गा 3x3 यंत्र

Navdurga 3x3 Yantra (नवदुर्गा 3x3 यंत्र) is a sacred 3x3 inch copper Yantra that holds all nine forms of the Goddess on one plate, from Shailaputri and Brahmacharini through Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalaratri and Mahagauri to Siddhidatri. Where a single Devi Yantra addresses one need, the Navdurga plate covers the full nine-night cycle, which is why it is the Yantra of choice for families who keep Navratri properly each year. The 3x3 inch copper sheet is engraved with nine mandalas within a common bhupura. According to the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and the Navadurga upasana tradition, its worship is believed to give all-round protection to a household, strength through each stage of a long undertaking, purification of the home atmosphere, courage, patience and discernment together, blessings for children and elders alike, and support during the transition from one phase of life to the next. It is particularly beneficial for families observing Navratri vrat and kanya pujan, joint families with members of several generations, households setting up a new puja room, women observing the Devi vrats, priests and paathis, and anyone who wants one Yantra covering the whole Devi tradition. Install it in the north-east on a red cloth on the first day of Navratri or on a Tuesday morning. Energize it with nine kinds of flowers, akshat, a ghee lamp and 108 recitations. Mantra: Ya Devi Sarvabhuteshu Shakti Rupena Samsthita, Namastasyai Namastasyai Namastasyai Namo Namah.
