Shat Chandi Puja Vidhi – How the Maha Anushthan is Performed
Introduction
Shat Chandi Puja, also known as Shat Chandi Path or Chandi Homam, is one of the most detailed and powerful rituals in Hinduism. It involves chanting the Durga Saptashati (Devi Mahatmyam) 100 times, accompanied by a grand Yajna (fire ritual).
This Puja is performed by highly learned Vedic priests and is considered the ultimate way to invoke the blessings of Maa Durga. At Shree Navgrah Mandir, Khargone, thousands of devotees perform Online Shat Chandi Puja every year to overcome obstacles, attract prosperity, and gain spiritual upliftment.
Step-by-Step Shat Chandi Puja Vidhi
1. Sankalp (Intention & Devotee’s Name)
The puja begins with Sankalp, where the devotee’s name, Gotra, and wishes are invoked. This establishes the connection between the devotee and Maa Durga.
2. Kalash Sthapana & Ganesh – Ambika Puja
A Kalash (sacred pot) is installed as a symbol of divine presence. Lord Ganesha and Maa Ambika are worshipped first to remove obstacles and ensure the successful completion of the rituals.
3. Navgraha Puja
The nine planetary deities are invoked to remove the malefic effects of planets and bring harmony in the devotee’s life.
4. Durga Saptashati Path (100 Recitations)
The core of the Anushthan is the chanting of Durga Saptashati (700 verses) 100 times by a group of priests. This generates divine vibrations that fill the environment with Shakti (energy).
5. Shat Chandi Yagya (Fire Ritual)
Offerings of ghee, herbs, and sacred items are made into the Havan Kund while chanting Devi mantras. This symbolises surrendering ego and negativity into the divine fire.
6. Purna Ahuti & Aarti
The final offerings (Purna Ahuti) are made, followed by a grand Devi Aarti. Devotees pray for the fulfilment of their desires and for protection from obstacles.
7. Prasad Distribution
After the completion of the Anushthan, Prasad, Yantra, and blessings are given to the devotees. In online pujas, these are couriered directly to their homes.
