Day 1 of Navratri: Worship of Maa Shailaputri – The Beginning of the Spiritual Journey


Day 1 of Navratri: Worship of Maa Shailaputri – The Beginning of the Spiritual Journey


The first day of Navratri is dedicated to Maa Shailaputri, the embodiment of strength and purity. Her name, "Shailaputri," means the daughter of the mountains, and she is a form of Goddess Parvati. Symbolizing the power of nature and Mother Earth, Maa Shailaputri holds a Trishul (trident) in one hand and a lotus in the other, riding a bull named Nandi. Her worship marks the start of Navratri, a nine-day festival of devotion, penance, and celebration.


Significance of Maa Shailaputri

Maa Shailaputri represents the primal force of nature, symbolizing balance and strength. She embodies the foundation upon which the entire spiritual journey is built. By invoking her blessings on the first day, devotees seek to establish a strong base for the remaining days of the festival, preparing themselves both physically and spiritually for the days ahead.

Her story is tied to her previous incarnation as Sati, Lord Shiva’s wife, who immolated herself in her father’s sacrificial fire and was reborn as Shailaputri. Her journey reflects the resilience and determination to rise again from adversities, making her a symbol of rebirth and new beginnings.


Relation to the Muladhara (Basic) Energy Center

Maa Shailaputri is closely linked to the Muladhara (Basic) Energy Center, the first energy center in the human body, located at the base of the spine. The Basic Energy Center is associated with stability, grounding, and survival instincts. Just like the Muladhara Energy Center serves as the foundation for our physical existence, Maa Shailaputri represents the spiritual foundation for our personal growth.

When the Muladhara Energy Center is balanced, one feels grounded, secure, and stable, both mentally and physically. Worshiping Maa Shailaputri on the first day helps activate this Energy Center, providing the strength and stability needed to begin the spiritual ascent through the other Energy Center over the next eight days of Navratri.


Importance of Worshiping Maa Shailaputri

The first day of Navratri is a time to center yourself and focus on building a strong foundation. By invoking Maa Shailaputri’s blessings, devotees aim to:

  • Ground their energy: Just as the Basic Energy Center connects us to the earth, Maa Shailaputri helps us stay balanced and rooted.
  • Invoke strength and stability: Her worship empowers us to overcome challenges and prepare for spiritual growth.
  • Prepare for a spiritual journey: As the first step in Navratri, her worship opens the gateway for the deeper spiritual experiences that follow during the festival.


In conclusion, the worship of Maa Shailaputri on the first day of Navratri lays the groundwork for a balanced and successful spiritual journey. By aligning with the energy of the Muladhara Energy Center, we prepare ourselves for the transformative process that Navratri brings, starting from a place of strength, stability, and security.
