Navratri –
Nav = 9, Ratri = nights. These 9 nights are Devine nights to achieve. Doesn’t matter what, your may achieve power, money, name, fame, peace, prosperity etc but also may achieve crime, guilt, conspiracy, offence as well. The power is same but depends how the users are. Navratri is specially for Goddess Durga, as every one needs her power. But if you see the facts stated in Markandey Puran, (Devi Mahatmya, Mahishasur Vadh, chaper -2) Goddess Durga was the incarnation of the combine power of Visnu & Shiva. Then everyone gave his/her power to Durga. She is thus the combination of all Gods, Goddesses and their powers. A few people know that Navratri is the night to awake for the Gods & Goddesses. They come on the street to give, just like Santa Claus, never mind whatever you ask. Good to enjoy, bad to suffer, but they SHALL give. Many people do prayers, some do siddhi and some do black magic, but all are successful. Doing Yagya in Navratri not only guarantees the result but also doubles the outcome.
Navratri doesn’t mean always 9 nights. It depends upon Lunar Days (tithi) that can make a gap (kshay Tithi) or exceed (adhik tithi) too. Therefore this time navratri is from 4.10.2005 to 11.10.2005.
According to Devi Bhagwat, Navratri is the time while Durga took several incarnationS to kill the devils therefore we celebrate it.
After Navratri, comes Vijaya (victorius) Dashami (10th day/tithi) or Dashahara. Dasha (ten) Hara (waiver) means it eliminates your 10 types of sins you might have committed. According to Ramayan, Lord Ram, got victory over Ravan (de devil) on this day, therefore we celebrate Dashashara.
Navratri and dashahara are celebrated in whole India as well as in abroad. You can visit any Hindu-Temple to enjoy and participate in prayers. There are several pilgrims of Devi or Kali where she believable still lives. These are called Siddha Peeth or Shakti Peeth. These are the centers of devotees however somewhere black magic too is exercised. The most famous Navratri Celebration is at the Kali Temple, Kolkata, India.
It’s advisable not to miss this golden time, We wish you all peace and prosperity on this auspicious occasion.

Marriage –
There is a Greek proverb – Love is the job of fools. I don’t know if this is true, but in fact love is the task of heart and marriage is the task of mind. Long time ago, people were using mind first then heart. They married with wisdom and loved with heart. The same tradition is still continuing in most marriages in India. But The West used opposite method; first love then marriage. I asked some friends, why ? They said- better to know before then marry someone. It’s correct, better to know, but not to love. It doesn’t really happen. Knowing is loving, if the person is good; even if the person is not good, you will love him too when you keep accompanied. The question is still un-answered. Astrology gives best solutions for it. An astrologer checks not only the compatibility of the characters of both, but checks the future ups-downs too. Today you are rising star, everybody will follow you but you need to check if the partner still will remain in bad days with you. Therefore, in the horoscope there are two types of compatibilities. 1. Nakshatra – This has 36 points and you need to obtain at least 20 to marry. 2. Planets – It defines how the planets will go on and how the attitudes and ambitions will change. You see the external body and present, but an astrologer sees internal mind and intentions as well as the future aspect too. Therefore it’s very important to check the person whom you are joining, with the eyes of astrology. This not only will prevent any un-wanted situation but also will help you planning your harmonious life in advance.
In marriage, as usual a Muhurta is very important. Muhurta is the auspicious time when planets are in harmony and can deliver you a good marital future. Unfortunately, Saturday is not a good day for this type of risky ceremonies and most marriages in western hemisphere take place on Saturdays. We would like to get attention of people over here who are really serious with a successful marital life.
