During #Navratri, we worship the nine forms of #Goddess #Durga. It begins with the worship of Maa Shailaputri and is followed by the worship of the other avatars of Goddess Durga.

The Worship of Maa Siddhidatri
The ninth day of Navratri is dedicated to the worship of Maa Siddhidatri. The word #Siddhi means #supernatural power and Dhatri means the awarder. Hence, it is believed that Maa Siddhidatri fulfils all divine aspirations.

Maa Siddhidatri is known to be the giver of perfection. She blesses her devotees with wisdom and grants them #spiritual knowledge. Maa Siddhidatri is also worshipped by demons and is surrounded by all Gods.

History and Origin
The #story of Maa Siddhidatri begins at a time when our #universe was nothing more than a deep #void. It was filled with darkness and there was no sign of life. This is when Goddess Kushmanda created the universe with the radiance of her smile.

Maa Kushamnda then went on to create the #Trimurti of Lord #Bramha – the energy of creation, Lord #Vishnu – the energy of sustenance and Lord #Shiva – the energy of destruction. Once they were created, Lord Shiva asked Maa Kushmanda to bestow him with perfection.

So, Maa Kushmanda created another goddess who bestowed Lord Shiva with 18 kinds of perfection. These included the Ashta Siddhi (8 primary forms of perfection) along with 10 secondary forms of perfection, described by Lord Krishna.

This goddess who had the ability to bestow these perfections on Lord Shiva is Maa Siddhidatri – the giver of perfection. Now, Lord Bramha was asked to create the rest of the Universe. However, since he required a man and a woman for creation, Lord Bramha found this task to be very challenging.

He prayed to Maa Siddhidatri and asked her to help him. Upon hearing Lord Bramha’s request, Maa Siddhidatri converted half of Lord Shiva’s body into a woman’s body. Therefore, Lord Shiva is also known as #Ardhanarishwar (Ardh - half, Nari - woman, Ishwar - refers to Lord Shiva).

Lord Bramha was now able to create living beings along with the rest of the Universe. So, it was Maa Siddhidatri who helped Lord Bramha with the creation of the Universe and also bestowed perfection upon Lord Shiva.

Worship of Maa Siddhidatri
Maa Siddhidatri is depicted as being seated on a lotus or a lion. She has four arms and holds a conch shell, a mace, a lotus and a discus in each of these hands.

Worshipped on the ninth day of Navratri, Maa Siddhidatri possesses the Ashta Siddhi. It is believed that Maa Siddhidatri blesses her devotees with spiritual wisdom and she is also known to destroy ignorance.

#Rohini #Nakshatra is the 4th star of the zodiac and it rule the Taurus sign from 10 degree to 23 degree 20′. The #Moon is the owner of this #constellation and moon gets exalted in this star as well. This is supposed to be brightest possible star of the entire zodiac. The deity of this Nakshatra is Lord #Bramha, the creator of supreme universe. This Nakshatra rules the major part of the Taurus ruled by venus which represents the creative ability. So this is a highly creative Nakshatra and it is the significator of the creative energies.Thus we see creative persons like Bob dylon, Marlin monroe, sigmund freud born in this star.This is a fertile Constellation, so this is considered to be an auspicious Nakshatra for starting of any work. This is being the 4th Star, the main motivation of this star is Moksha.

Taurus is a earthly sign and Venus rules it. Moon is the Mind and it rules Rohini Nakshatra. Fulfillment of Earthly Desire and artistic expression can grow in this constellation.
The Word Rohini has come from root word “Roh” which means anything that grows or anything that increases from small to high or blossoms from a bud to a flower.So this Constellation signifies tremendous growth or expansion.

The Puranas describe Rohini as one of the Daughter of Daksha Prajapati who was the son of Bramha. Rohini along with her other sister married to the moon. Rohini was very attractive and beautiful. Moon was infatuated to her easily and he started ignoring his other wives. This created jealousy among other sisters and they complained to Lord Bramha. Bramha cursed Moon and he became sick. Realizing what they have done to their husband, they felt sorry and pleaded to Lord Bramha again for the forgiveness. But curse once given can not be taken back completely.So Moon gradually looses his brightness and again regain it. But Rohini Nakshatra remain his favorite star.

In Sanskrit, Rohini also means a girl having her first menstruation. It is only after attaining this stage that she is able to bear children. Rohini, in fact, represents that cosmic stage which enables the human soul to become ready for creative manifestation.

This is the star in which Lord Krishna was born. As shri Krishna killed his uncle Kansa, it is popular belief that whenever a child is born in Rohini Nakshatra, it is not good for the maternal uncle. But this is completely Wrong rather they may not get much support from their Father and may be attached with their mother more.
