How to worship Durga in Saradiya Durga Puja

Durga, as worshipped in Bengal in the season of SARAT KAL, is popularly known Akal Bodhan, which is an untimely invocation. So, what is a timely invocation of the Deity – Basanta Kal – Basanti Puja and it is observed in all over India as Navaratra[शारदीय नवरात्र].

Kalika Puran is an Upapuran, i.e it is not a principal Puran.  Authority of Puran Literatures has been questioned by the Scholars of Sanskrit. Vedas are the valid source of knowledge to know Sanatan Dharma. Navaratra was nine days session[Satra] mentioned in Brahman Literatures. Puja was also not mentioned in Vedas. Puja how originated nobody can comment on it authoritatively. some may say that the origin of Puja was with Jaina Dharma, or Atharva Veda or some Agam Tantra. However, the practice has been here since time immemorial.

Puja is fine mixture of Vedic and Tantric Mantras along with Yoga[pranayama], Meditation, Homa and Agama Tantra… these were called Chatur Byuha[चतूर ब्यूह ].      

The following book was edited by a scholar of his time in 1923 and certified by Mahamohopadhya Hara Prasad Shastri. The short introduction given by him is worth mentioning as he was the authority in that subject at his time.


In Markandeya Puran, the following things have been mentioned about Durga Puja which may be helpful to understand the circumstances and instances of Durga Puja :

Identity of the Deity of Durga

Q: भगवन् का हि सा देवी महामायेति यां भवान्॥६०॥
ब्रवीति कथमुत्पन्ना सा कर्मास्याश्च किं द्विज।
यत्प्रभावा च सा देवी यत्स्वरूपा यदुद्भवा॥६१॥
तत्सर्वं श्रोतुमिच्छामि त्वत्तो ब्रह्मविदां वर॥६२॥

A: नित्यैव सा जगन्मूर्तिस्तया सर्वमिदं ततम्॥६४॥
तथापि तत्समुत्पत्तिर्बहुधा श्रूयतां मम।

देवानां कार्यसिद्ध्यर्थमाविर्भवति सा यदा॥६५॥
उत्पन्नेति तदा लोके सा नित्याप्यभिधीयते।

मार्कण्डेय उवाच ।। ६।।

इति तस्य वचः श्रुत्वा सुरथः स नराधिपः ।
प्रणिपत्य महाभागं तमृषिं संशितव्रतम् ।। ७।।

निर्विण्णोऽतिममत्वेन राज्यापहरणेन च ।
जगाम सद्यस्तपसे स च वैश्यो महामुने ।। ८।।

सन्दर्शनार्थमम्बाया नदीपुलिनसंस्थितः । स च वैश्यस्तपस्तेपे देवीसूक्तं परं जपन् ।। ९।।

तो तस्मिन् पुलिने देव्याः कृत्वा मूर्तिं महीमयीम् । अर्हणां चक्रतुस्तस्याः पुष्पधूपाग्नितर्पणैः ।। १०।।

निराहारौ यताहारौ तन्मनस्कौ समाहितौ । ददतुस्तौ बलिं चैव निजगात्रासृगुक्षितम् ।। ११।।

एवं समाराधयतोस्त्रिभिर्वर्षैर्यतात्मनोः । परितुष्टा जगद्धात्री प्रत्यक्षं प्राह चण्डिका ।। १२।।
