🌺 🕉️ Maasik Durga Ashtami is considered one of the most powerful days to seek Maa Durga’s protection, strength, and divine support

According to scriptures, every Ashtami of the Shukla Paksha carries the same shakti-tattva that is linked to Navratri Ashtami. It is believed that on this day, Maa Durga’s Raksha Shakti becomes especially active, helping devotees overcome hidden dangers, unseen negativity, and situations that feel stuck despite repeated efforts. Sometimes, despite our hard work, things stop moving forward. People experience unexplained delays, misunderstandings at home, fear without reason, or situations that feel controlled by something unseen. According to scriptures, such obstacles often increase when Rahu’s influence is strong. Rahu creates confusion, worry, and sudden life disturbances. That is why Maa Durga and Lord Shri Rahu Dev are worshipped together on Durga Ashtami falling under a Rahu-ruled Nakshatra - Shatabisha. It is believed to help remove hidden negativity and bring stability.

According to Puranas, Maa Durga is the destroyer of unseen dangers, the one who frees devotees from “adrishya badha” (hidden obstacles). The Nav Chandi tradition comes from the story where Maa Durga defeated Mahishasura and restored balance in the world. At the same time, scriptures describe Lord Shri Rahu Dev as the giver of mental clarity when prayed to with sincerity. Rahu Mool Mantra Jaap is believed to calm Rahu’s troubling effects and reduce fear, confusion, and sudden disruptions. Together, these stories show why this day is considered powerful for those facing negativity or Rahu-related issues.

In this special puja, 18,000 Rahu Mool Mantra Jaap at Rahu Paithani Temple, Uttarakhand is offered to seek relief from confusion, recurring problems, and Rahu Dosha. Along with this, the Nav Chandi Havan is performed at Maa Vindhyavasini Shaktipeeth, Mirzapur with ahutis of ghee, sugar, and samidha to honour Maa Durga’s nine forms. These sacred offerings are believed to create a protective shield, strengthen inner courage, and bring divine support during difficult phases. Devotees perform this puja to seek blessings for safety, clarity, emotional steadiness, and protection from negative influences.

🙏 If you are facing hidden negativity, unexplained delays, or fear of the unknown, this is the moment to participate through Sri Mandir in a powerful ritual that brings divine blessings for peace, protection, and spiritual balance into your life.

Maa Vindhyavasini Devi Temple, Rahu Paithani Temple,Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh | Pauri, Uttarakhand

Maa Vindhyavasini Devi Temple, Rahu Paithani Temple,Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh | Pauri, Uttarakhand
Situated on the Vindhya Mountain in Mirzapur Uttar Pradesh, the ancient Maa Vindhyavasini Devi Temple is a prominent centre of Shakti worship and is recognized as one of the 51 Shaktipeeths in India. This temple is believed to house the awakened form of Maa Vindhyavasini, with the left toe of Sati said to have fallen at this sacred site. The temple’s significance is highlighted in various Puranas, particularly the Shiva Purana, which states that the Adi Devi resides in her complete form only at Vindhyachal. Unlike other Shaktipeeths where the goddess is represented symbolically, devotees can witness the entire idol of Maa Vindhyavasini here. It is believed that the battle between Goddess Durga and Mahishasura took place in Vindhyachal. This is why Goddess Vindhyavasini is also known as Mahishasura Mardini. This historical connection further enhances the temple’s importance. It is also said that Lord Rama, during his exile, visited Vindhyachal and the surrounding areas with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana, and performed secret worship of Maa Vindhyavasini.

Along with Lord Shiva, Rahu is also worshipped in this Rahu temple located in Uttarakhand. This is the one of the few Rahu temples in the country, where Rahu is worshipped along with Lord Shiva. According to legends, Rahu and Ketu used to be a demon named Swarbhanu. During the Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean), when Swarbhanu deceitfully sat among the gods and drank the Amrit, Lord Vishnu realized his deception. To prevent him from becoming immortal, Vishnu severed his head from his body with his Sudarshan Chakra. However, because Swarbhanu had already tasted the Amrit, he became immortal. The lower part of Swarbhanu became Ketu, and the upper part, above the torso, was called Rahu. This head part, after being cut off from Sudarshan, fell at Pauri which came to be known as the Rahu temple.
