Navratri Day 3 - Tritiya: Devi Chandraghanta

 Devi Chandraghanta is worshiped on the third day ofNavratri. She rides on a Tiger; there is a bell shaped crescent on the mother's head which gave her the name GoddessChandraghanta. She has ten hands, each hand has different weapons. She protects against demonic forces.According to Hindu mythology, Devi Chandraghanta is the Goddess of spirituality and internal strength. DeviChandraghanta is also known asChandrakhanda, Chandika or Rannchandi. This form ofDevi Chandraghnata is peaceful and welfare. By her grace all the sins, distresses, physical sufferings, mental tribulations and ghostly hurdles of the devotees are eradicated.

Chandra means moon. Moon represents the mind.  So Chandraghanta is that which charms the mind, the embodiment of beauty. Anything which is beautiful to you is because of the mother divine's energy. If the energy is not there then nothing is beautiful. However beautiful body and face some may have, if there is no life then you don't say it beautiful. You don't say this is a beautiful corpse. In dead body you don't see beauty in it, because there is no energy. So, it’s energy that brings life in animals and radiates beauty in human beings.

Devī Candraghaṅṭā (देवी चन्द्रघण्टा)

The form of the Mother Goddess worshipped on the 3rd Night during Navarātri is that of Devī Candraghaṅṭā. The name probably derives from the crescent moon the Goddess is sometimes depicted bearing on her head.

According to legend, this was the fierce form assumed by the Mother Goddess when she confronted Lord Śiva to assume a less fierce form when he arrived with his wild entourage at the palace of King Himavat, Devī Pārvatī’s father, to wed her.

In this form the Goddess is Depicted mounted on a tiger (though occasionally also a lion) as her vāhana. Usually depicted clad in red and having eight arms (though 10 armed depictions are also seen) wielding triśūla (trident), gadā (mace), dhanuśya- bāṇa (bow and arrow), khaḍga (sword), kamala (lotus), kamaṅḍalū (waterpot) and the eight hand in abhaya-mudrā (gesture of assurance to devotees). This is a fierce aspect of the Goddess often identified with Canḍikā or Raṇacaṅḍī, for destruction of the wicked. But for her devotees she is merciful and like a loving mother.

She is invoked with the śloka:
