Aaj Ka Panchang, September 30, 2025: Today is the Navami Tithi of Ashwin Shukla Paksha, which is celebrated as Mahanavami in many places, while the date in the Panchang is still Ashtami. This day is the day of worship of Maa Siddhidatri, who is considered to be the last goddess of Navratri. Siddhidatri Devi grants all kinds of siddhis to the devotees and destroys all sins. Her meditation leads to sadhana, siddhi, moksha, and supreme knowledge.
Today’s Nakshatra is Purvashada, which is located in Sagittarius. This Nakshatra symbolizes undefeated power and enhances self-confidence, victory, stability, and inspiration. Under the influence of this Nakshatra, a person achieves success even after struggling. Shobhan Yoga, which is effective till 01:03 AM, indicates a state of auspiciousness, success, and victory.
This Yoga is especially suitable for Puja, Japa, Yagna, Griha Pravesh, and the beginning of auspicious works. The Moon is also transiting in Sagittarius today, which strengthens religious sentiments. The influence of Jupiter gives the energy of knowledge, education, philosophy, and spiritual upliftment.
On this day, offer rose and champa flowers to Maa Siddhidatri and chant the mantra “Om Aim Hreem Kleem Siddhidatryai Namah”. Worshipping and feeding girls is very virtuous. With this last worship of Navdurga, the seeker gets ultimate peace and siddhi.
Today is the confluence of power, siddhi, and success. This is the best opportunity to purify oneself and receive the blessings of the Goddess. Through worship, meditation, and service, one experiences new consciousness and victory in life. In this last phase of Navratri, the blessings of the mother can prove to be the destroyer of every obstacle.
