Amla Navami 2025: Significance
On Amla Navami, offering prayers and taking a sacred dip in holy rivers hold great importance. If possible, devotees should visit a pilgrimage site and bathe on this sacred occasion to receive divine blessings. However, if someone cannot travel far, then they should take a sacred bath by home by adding some drops of Gangajal to the bathwater. This will bring eternal benefits.
The scriptures mention that on Akshaya Navami, Lord Vishnu ended the tyranny of a demon named Kushmanda, after which a Kushmanda vine grew from the demon's hair. Therefore, it is also called Kushmanda Navami. Kushmanda is commonly known as Petha or pumpkin, and is used as a vegetable. Therefore, donations of Kushmanda, or Petha, should be made on this day.
Along with donations, worship of Kushmanda with incense, flowers, and unbroken rice grains is also considered auspicious. In addition to Kushmanda Navami, Jagaddhatri Mata is also worshipped on this day in Odisha. Jagaddhatri is a form of Goddess Durga. From the day of Akshaya Navami, Mathura Pradakshina or the circumambulation of Mathura also starts.
Amla Navami 2025: Rituals
Special worship of the Amla tree is performed. Devotees must bathe during the Brahma Muhurat on the sacred occasion of Amla Navami. Afterwards, they must offer milk and pure water at the roots of the Amla tree. Then, offer roli, sandalwood paste, akshat, incense, ghee deepak, flowers, and fruits, and perform the ritualistic worship. After worshipping the Amla tree, one must perform parikrama around it seven times. It is believed that doing so bestows the blessings of Lord Vishnu and invites happiness and prosperity. Furthermore, consuming Amla as prasad on this day bestows the blessings of good health and well-being.
