NavaRaatri-Samhita
In MaatruVaatsalyaVindaanam, Sadguru Shree Aniruddha guided us about the Paaraayan Paddhati in Navaraatri. Shraddhavaan should start the reading (Paaraayan) on Shukla Pratipadaa Tithi of Chaitra or Aashwin maas (month) and complete it by the midnight of Shukla Navami Tithi.
(There may be 8 or 10 days etc in the period of Pratipadaa to Navami, but Paaraayan point of view, It’s important to start the reading on Pratipadaa and complete it by 12 in the night of Navami. Udyaapan should be done on Dashami.)
Then Sadguru Shree Aniruddha says- Shraddhavaan can freely decide the number of chapters to be read each day, as everyone has different lifestyle. But one should not read it in hurry i. e. without understanding the meaning, without Bhaav.
Udyaapan- About Udyaapan procedure, Bapu says- On Dashami Tithi, Shraddhavaan should chant AadiMaata Shubhankaraa Stavanam (9 times), AadiMaata AshubhaNaashini Stavanam (9 times) & Avadhootachintan ShreeGurudevaDutta (9 times).
Then touch your forehead to the MaatruVaatsalyaVindaanam Granth, offer 1 Lotaangan or offer greetings (Pranaam) as per your rituals. Finally, recite the mantra of your Sadguru for 9 times and pray to confer his benediction on you.
This is the Udyaapan procedure of this Granth’s Paaraayan.
At the time of Udyaapan, Shraddhaavaan may sing Aarati and Gajar of his choice.
This is the ‘NavaRaatriSamhita’.
Shraddhaavaan may do the Paaraayan during the NavaRaatri of Chaitra and Aashwin according to this NavaRaatri-Samhita. During the year, Shraddhaavaan may do the Paaraayan starting it on any Tuesday, completing it on the Wednesday of the following week. On Thursday (Thursday of the following week i. e. the tenth day of Paaraayan) Shraddhaavaan should do the Udyaapan as mentioned in Udyaapan Preocedure.
