ॐ ऐं ह्रीं क्लीं चामुण्डायै विच्चे Om Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundayai Vichche This Navratri, chant the Navarna Mantra with Trupti and with everyone taking this Sankalp. Every repetition you chant is counted for you and added to one shared count — nobody has to keep track alone. Join now — Collective counting opens 11 Oct. NINE NIGHTS OF THE DIVINE MOTHER For nine nights every autumn, homes and temples across India turn to the Devi. Each night honours one of her nine forms, the Navadurga — Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, Mahagauri and Siddhidatri — and the tenth day, Vijayadashami, celebrates the victory of light over darkness. Navratri has always been a season of sadhana: of fasting, of reading the Devi Mahatmya, and above all of japa. THE NAVARNA MANTRA Navarna means "nine syllables": ऐं ह्रीं क्लीं चामुण्डायै विच्चे. In the tradition of the Devi Mahatmya — the Durga Saptashati — it is the central mantra of the Goddess, chanted alongside the reading of the text and throughout Navratri. Its three seed syllables carry the three great forms of the Devi whose stories the Saptashati tells — Mahasaraswati, Mahalaxmi and Mahakali — and it is offered to Chamunda, the fierce Mother who destroyed the demons Chanda and Munda. Here it is chanted with Om before it, as Trupti teaches it. "O Divine Mother, who manifests as wisdom (Mahasaraswati), prosperity (Mahalaxmi), and power (Mahakali); O Chamunda, destroyer of negative tendencies, untie the knots of my ignorance and liberate my mind." Om — the divine source and universal vibration Aim — Mahasaraswati: knowledge, wisdom and speech Hreem — Mahalaxmi: wealth, abundance and transformation Kleem — Mahakali: strength, protection and desire Chamundayai — to Chamunda, destroyer of negativity and ignorance (Chanda and Munda) Vichche — protection, untying the knot of ignorance, liberation WHY CHANT TOGETHER A Sankalp is a vow — a resolve made before the Divine and then kept, day after day. Kept alone, it is easy to let slip. Kept together, every mala you chant joins hundreds of others chanting the same mantra in the same ten days, and the count you see is all of us. YOUR PERSONAL VOW Ek Mala — 108 a day, 1,080 over the ten days. For anyone starting out. Madhyam — 324 a day, 3,240 in all. For regular practitioners. Purna Anushthana — 1,100 a day, 11,000 in all. The traditional Navarna count. HOW TO TAKE PART 1. Join the Sankalp — it works in your browser, nothing to install. 2. Chant along with Trupti's recording. Every repetition is counted for you. 3. Watch your own count and the community's grow together, and share your progress. We begin with a shared goal of 11,000 Jaap and raise it as the community grows. On Vijayadashami we close the Sankalp together with a Purnahuti — the completing offering of everything chanted over the ten days. Sankalp: 11 – 20 October 2026 Purnahuti: Vijayadashami, 20 October
