Navaratri, or Nine days of the Devi and Vijayadashami will be celebrated from September 26 through October 4. Vijayadashami is the 10th day, also known as day of victory.
The word Navaratri means 'nine nights' in Sanskrit. During these nine nights and ten days, three days each are devoted to honoring the different forms of the divine mother, Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati.
Vijayadashami, the 10th day, is traditionally an auspicious time for starting new ventures. This is the day of final puja of Navaratri, and beginning for new learning and knowledge. Items offered for blessings on the 8th day of Navaratri will be ready for puja starting at 9 AM on this auspicious day.  Swamiji will be present for this special day.
