Our living style has drastically changed if we compare it to the society hundreds & thousands of years ago.
The traditions which we follow in present are not establishments of today but of the past.
Ever thought, why do we have Navratras twice a year unlike other festivals like Deepawali or Holi?
Well, both these months are the months of changing seasons and the eating habits of both the seasons are quite different from each other.
Navratras give enough time to the body to adjust and prepare itself for to the changing season.
These nine days were marked as a period when people would clean their body system by keeping fasts by avoiding excessive salt and sugar, meditate, gain a lot of positive energy, gain a lot of self confidence & increase the self determination power (fasts are a medium to improve our will power
and self determination) and finally get ready for the challenges of the changed season.
