On the sacred occasion of Durga Masik Ashtami, the grand Raksha and Prosperity Mahayagya held across 5 major Shaktipeeths is a rare and divine confluence of Devi Shakti worship. According to scriptures, worshipping the 5 Shaktipeeths on this day helps remove fear, unrest, and instability, guiding devotees towards strength, patience, and prosperity.

In this special Mahayagya, the five sacred forms of Maa Durga - Maa Kali, Maa Lalita, Maa Mahalakshmi, Maa Vindhyavasini, and Maa Uma Katyayani - are invoked. The rituals include Devi worship, a grand Mahayagya, and sacred recitation of mantras associated with the Goddess. Each of these Shaktipeeths is believed to enshrine a different part of Devi Sati’s divine body, making any spiritual practice performed here extremely fruitful. The aim of this Anushthan is to grant divine protection, bring prosperity to families, and shield devotees from negative energies.

In this ritual, the chanting of 1,25,000 Navarna Mantras is considered a highly powerful means to attain the blessings and divine grace of Devi Shakti. On Monthly Durga Ashtami, this mantra chanting is believed to remove negative energies, bring peace to the mind and body, and help calm planetary disturbances. With proper chanting, devotees may receive guidance toward confidence, protection, and spiritual upliftment.

These 5 Shaktipeeths are as follows:

🌕 Maa Kalighat Shaktipeeth: Located in West Bengal, this is where the right toe of Devi Sati fell. Maa Kali in this form is believed to destroy dark forces and bless devotees with fearlessness and divine protection.

🌕 Maa Lalita Shaktipeeth: Maa Lalita Tripurasundari is the Goddess of beauty, fortune, and spiritual elevation. Her worship grants peace, clarity of thoughts, and brings charm, happiness, and prosperity in life.

🌕 Mahalakshmi Ambabai Shaktipeeth: Located in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, this temple is dedicated to Maa Mahalakshmi - the Goddess of wealth, fortune, and wellbeing. Worship here is said to bring financial stability, abundance, and domestic bliss.

🌕 Maa Vindhyavasini Shaktipeeth: Situated in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, this sacred temple grants devotees strength, success, and family protection. Maa Vindhyavasini is known as the awakened form of Shakti, ever-present to bless devotees.

🌕 Maa Uma Katyayani Shaktipeeth: Maa Uma Katyayani, the sixth form of Maa Durga, symbolizes courage, marital harmony, and family happiness. Worshipping her brings harmony in married life and fulfillment of heartfelt desires.

🪔 It is believed that by participating in this grand Monthly Durga Ashtami ritual organized by Sri Mandir, devotees receive the blessings of all five Shaktipeeths together - helping remove mental darkness, poverty, and obstacles. This Mahayagya carries the power to connect devotees with divine protection, wealth, and everlasting prosperity.

For Devi's Protection to Repel Malevolent Energies and Negative Influences

Bagalamukhi-Pratyangira Kavach Path, 1,25,000 Bagalamukhi Mool Mantra Jaap and Havan

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.
