Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended greetings to devotees on Tuesday, October 13, on the third day of Shardiya Navratri, praying for Maa Chandraghanta’s blessings for happiness, prosperity, success and the well-being of all.

In a message shared on social media platform X, PM Modi offered his salutations to Devi Chandraghanta, describing her as the goddess of courage, peace and divine power.

“On this Navratri, heartfelt salutations to Devi Chandraghanta, the goddess of courage, peace, and divine power! May her grace bring welfare to all. May everyone’s life forever be filled with happiness, prosperity, and success—this is the auspicious wish,” he wrote.

PM Modi further shared a YouTube link to a bhajan dedicated to Goddess Durga, titled Chottanikkara Baghavathi.

नवरात्रि में आज साहस, शांति और दिव्य शक्ति की देवी मां चंद्रघंटा की करबद्ध वंदना! उनकी कृपा से सबका कल्याण हो। सभी का जीवन सुख-सौभाग्य एवं सफलता से सदैव परिपूर्ण रहे, यही मंगलकामना है।

The Prime Minister posted a Sanskrit verse praising the Goddess as Vaishnavi Shakti, the embodiment of infinite valour and supreme cosmic power.

The verse, however, describes the Goddess as the seed of the universe, whose divine will governs creation and whose grace illuminates the path to liberation for all beings.

त्वं वैष्णवी शक्तिरनन्तवीर्या विश्वस्य बीजं परमासि माया।

सम्मोहितं देवि समस्तमेतत् त्वं वै प्रसन्ना भुवि मुक्तिहेतुः।। https://t.co/ydpq4tfZRL

The nine-day Hindu festival honours Goddess Durga, with each day dedicated to one of her nine manifestations.

Devotees worship Maa Chandraghanta on the third day, seeking courage, strength, peace and protection from negative forces.

The festival will conclude with Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra, which symbolises the victory of good over evil.
