Chaitra Navratri 2025: The festival of Navratri holds great importance in Hinduism. During this nine-day holy festival, there is a provision to worship various forms of Maa Durga. Every day a specific form of the goddess is worshiped. This festival is considered very important for spiritual advancement and the attainment of salvation. Fasting along with the worship of Mata Rani is also of great importance in these nine days. It is believed that all the wishes of those who fast during these nine days are fulfilled. However, this fast is not suitable for every person. Some people should not observe this fast, as it can cause harm instead of benefit. Let us know who is advised not to fast.
Who should not keep Navratri fast?
If a woman is menstruating, she should avoid observing Navratri fast. On the other hand, if menstruation starts during fasting, she can continue it.
Pregnant women should not fast for nine days, as consumption of grains is prohibited during this period. In such a situation, if the fetus does not get the right nutrition, its development can be affected. Therefore, fasting should be avoided during pregnancy.
Women who have recently given birth to a child should also not fast during Navratri. The child gets nutrition from the mother's food, so the mother needs to take a balanced and nutritious diet.
People suffering from anemia should also not fast. Weakness increases in the body due to lack of blood. In such a situation, fasting can prove to be even more harmful for health.
It is necessary for people suffering from diabetes to maintain a balanced diet. Fasting can cause instability in blood sugar levels, which can hurt health. In such a situation, it is important to consult a doctor before fasting.
Rules of fasting during Navratri
Brahmacharya should be followed during Navratri. Wearing black clothes should be avoided during these nine days. Also, those who fast should avoid sleeping during the day. By following these things, positive energy is obtained and the blessings of Maa Durga remain.
