4th Day of #Navratri: Colour - #Orange
The color orange is emblematic of life and enthusiasm. It reflects the spirit of optimism and energy that characterizes this day of worship. Devotees are encouraged to wear orange as a way to invite the blessings of #Maa #Kushmanda into their lives. This vibrant hue not only enhances the festive atmosphere but also symbolizes the warmth and vitality associated with the goddess.
Rituals and Offerings
Devotees typically prepare offerings using orange-colored fruits and dishes, such as petha (a type of pumpkin sweet), which is particularly favored by Maa Kushmanda. The puja rituals include:
Starting with a bath followed by meditation.
Offering items like red clothes, red flowers, vermilion, five dry fruits (Panchmeva), sacred food (Naivedya), and adornments.
Reciting her mantra: “Om Devi Kushmandayai Namah” throughout the ritual.
Concluding with the recitation of the #Durga #Chalisa and performing an aarti using ghee or camphor lamps
#MaaKushmanda
Maa Kushmanda is revered as the creator of the #universe, believed to have brought light and #energy into a previously dark #cosmos with her radiant smile. She is depicted with #eight arms, holding various symbolic items such as a lotus, a mace (gada), a discus (chakra), and a pot of #nectar (amrita) among others. Her name derives from #Sanskrit, where "Ku" means "a little," "Ushma" signifies "warmth," and "Anda" refers to the "cosmic egg".
Worshiping Maa Kushmanda is said to bring blessings of health, vitality, and positivity to her devotees, while also providing strength to overcome challenges. The rituals performed on this day are believed to invoke her nurturing energy and cosmic balance.
Orange (Day 4): Associated with the Kushmanda goddess, orange represents warmth and enthusiasm. She infuses creativity and positivity into the celebration.
The #root #chakra has #four #petals and is often visualized as parallel to the ground.
vaṁ, śaṁ, ṣaṁ, saṁ
The #Svadhisthana (2nd chakra) has 6 #six petals.
baṁ, bhaṁ, maṁ, yaṁ, raṁ, laṁ
Then the petals of the #navel chakra are visualized with the next 10 letters.
ḍaṁ, ḍhaṁ, ṇaṁ, taṁ, thaṁ, daṁ, dhaṁ, naṁ, paṁ, phaṁ
Next the petals of the #heart chakra are visualized with the first twelve consonants of the #Sanskrit #alphabet.
kaṁ, khaṁ, gaṁ, ghaṁ, ṅaṁ, caṁ, chaṁ, jaṁ, jhaṁ, ñaṁ, ṭaṁ, ṭhaṁ
aṁ, āṁ, iṁ, īṁ, uṁ, ūṁ, ṛṁ ṝṁ ḷṁ ḹṁ eṁ aiṁ oṁ auṁ aṁ aḥ
Some traditions use “Auṁ (the akṣara + ṁ) namaḥ”. So it would go “Auṁ aṁ namaḥ”, “Auṁ āṁ namaḥ”, etc.
#Om
Creation occurred due to the first sound #Aum. The universe and everything in it is condensed energy, that energy is vibrating and all has sound. The body itself is sound, called sabda in Sanskrit. The body can be recreated with sound as many modern technologies are now tapping into. In the ancient Puranas (sacred story texts), there are elaborate stories of the creation of the world (shristi karana). Meditating on the seed sounds (bijas) of the chakra petals is also called shristi karana, for it is the recreation of the body through sound (sabda). This is the practice of meditating on the chakras according to the Achyutananda tradition.
(1) First step is to worship the Guru and Paramguru. Those who don’t have one can do the mantra “Aum Vyam Vyasadevaya Namah” [1] 108 times while meditating on the crown, imagining golden radiant light coming into the crown and light sitting on the head. The Guru’s grace rests on the head. (2) Next pranayama can be done.
(3) Meditate on the third eye chakra, bringing the awareness there. (4) If one knows the Agni navakṣari mantra it can be done 21 times (5) followed by the Chaitanya mantra, or just praises to the fire of the third eye fire.
(6) Then one can do their parampara mantra [2] to stabilize the five aspects of the mind and make it peaceful.
(7) When the mind has become stable and peaceful one begins with the throat chakra. It contains 16 petals, each with the vowels of the Sanskrit alphabet. A knowledge of Sanskrit alphabet and its pronunciation is very helpful.

#Sravana #Nakshatra is the 22nd Nakshatra as per Hindu astrology in Aquilae constellation.
Sravana is ruled by Vishnu, the preserver among the great trinity of Hindu deities.
#Shravana or Śravaṇa ( #Sanskrit: श्रवण) is derived from the root श्रवः ( #hearing or the #ear), and means — ‘the ear’, ‘the hypotenuse of a triangle’, ‘the act of hearing’, ‘study’, ‘fame’, ‘glory’, ‘that which is heard or revealed’.
In Hindu philosophy and rituals, the hearing of the secrets of the Upanishads from the Guru is called Shravana which secrets are meant to be reflected upon to gain intellectual conviction. One learns by hearing, it is the first stage of learning, the initiation when the traditional Vedic doctrines are passed on by the teachers.
Shravana star has several references in Hindu mythology also related to Onam festival and these three stars are pictured as the 3 footprints of Vamana in His gigantic Trivikrama form.
We also have mythology of Shravan Kumar whose parents were old and blind, and he would carry them in two baskets hanging on either side from a rod on his shoulders like a weighing scale that almost resembles Aquila formation. Shravan Kumar, even today, is remembered for his dedication towards his parents. Altair in the Aquila constellation, in the sky has been named after Shravan.

#Hasta #Nakshatra is the 13th Nakshatra as per Hindu #astrology. The Hasta Nakshatra ranges from degrees 10–23:20 and falls in the #Virgo sign.
The presiding deity of Hasta Nakshatra is #Savitur — the #Sun #God. It is said and believed that this God helps in imparting transforming and creative energy. Sun God is also believed to be the inspiration giver
He is sometimes associated with #Surya or at other times distinguished from Surya, “the Sun”. When considered distinct from the Sun proper, he is conceived of as the divine influence or vivifying power of the Sun. The Sun before sunrise is called Savitur, and after sunrise until sunset it is called Sūrya. Savitur is celebrated in eleven whole hymns of the #RigVeda and in parts of many others, his name being mentioned about 170 times in aggregate.
Savitur disappeared as an independent deity from the Hindu pantheon after the end of the Vedic period, but in modern Hinduism his name occurs in the well-known #Gayatri #mantra (taken from book three of the Rigveda; RV 3.62.10), which is therefore also known as the Sāvitur. The Gāyatrī mantra is dedicated to Savituṛ, a Vedic Sun deity.
oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
tat savitur vareṇyaṃ
bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yo naḥ prachodayāt
– Rigveda 3.62.10
Explanation: May we attain that excellent glory of Savitur the god: So, may he stimulate our prayers
According to Yaska, #Sanskrit scholar of the 5th century BCE, who made various attempts to interpret difficult Vedic mythologies in his work Nirukta (Etymology) (12, 12), the time of Savitr’s appearance is when darkness has been removed. Sayanacharya (on Rig Veda) remarks that before his rising the sun is called Savitr, but from his rising to his setting, Surya.
Savitr has golden arms and is broad-handed or beautiful-handed. He has a golden chariot with a golden axle, which is omni-form, just as he himself can assume all forms. Savitr has been attributed to as upholding the movables and immovable, which signifies the maintenance of Ṛta (Cosmic Order). Savitr is a beneficent god who acts as protector of all beings, who are provident and guard the world of spirits. Being an Aditya, Savitr is true to the Eternal Order and act as the score exacter.
