Why is Bhadali Navami special?

Bhadali Navami is considered a self-evident and extremely auspicious date. This festival falls two days before Devshayani Ekadashi. It is believed that auspicious deeds performed on this day bring special success and auspicious results.

If for some reason a suitable auspicious time is not available for marriage, housewarming, starting a new business, or any other auspicious event, these can be performed on Bhadali Navami without any additional auspicious time. This is why it is also called Abujh Muhurat.

Worshiping Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi on Bhadali Navami is considered especially important. It is believed that worshipping Lord Vishnu before Devshayani Ekadashi brings happiness, prosperity, and peace to the home.

On this day, devotees worship Lord Vishnu, fast, perform havan, and chant mantras. Devotees following the Vaishnav tradition especially worship Lord Hari and seek his blessings.

Best day for auspicious work

According to religious beliefs, Bhadrali Navami is considered an auspicious day to begin any new endeavor. Whether buying a new home, starting a business, or inaugurating an important project, this day is considered extremely auspicious. However, when performing any religious ritual or auspicious event, it is advisable to follow family tradition and seek the advice of a qualified scholar or priest.

Bhadrali Navami is not just a religious festival but also a special occasion to get auspicious beginning, positive energy and blessings of Lord Vishnu.
