Navratri, the festive celebration of the various forms of Goddess Durga, is in full swing this year, bringing joy to homes and hearts around the world. This year's Navratri began on October 15 and will conclude on October 23, with a rare and particularly auspicious astrological event making it even more special.
Pandit Nandkishore Mudgal, a renowned astrologer, has pinpointed the fifth day of Navratri, which falls on October 19, as the most auspicious day for certain significant purchases. On this day, it is considered highly favorable to acquire vehicles, property, gold, and silver. This day is dedicated to the worship of Skandamata, who is regarded as an avatar of Goddess Durga, and making such acquisitions on this day is believed to bring the blessings of the Goddess.
What makes October 19 even more extraordinary is the alignment of an auspicious yoga, where the Jyeshth Nakshatra, Purna Tithi, and Sarvarth Siddhi Yog coincide. This day holds special significance because Skandamata is particularly associated with gold. As Navratri symbolizes new beginnings and good fortune, it is the perfect time for buying property or investing in precious metals like gold and silver. Many builders and vehicle dealers offer exclusive Navratri discounts, making it an opportune moment for those planning such significant acquisitions.
Navratri is rooted in the celebration of good triumphing over evil, with the belief that Goddess Durga defeated the demon Mahisasur. People observe this festival for nine nights, and the celebrations take various forms, including the lively Garba dances and the spiritually uplifting Jagrata ceremonies. So, as Navratri unfolds this year, consider marking October 19 on your calendar for auspicious purchases that come with the blessings of Skandamata and the spirit of Navratri.
