Navratri - Day 7
It is the seventh day of Navratri we shall continue our Navratri celebrations! Navratri is the festival that is based around the event when Durga Maa killed Mahishasur and freed the world from his Atyachar.
The Navratri is nine nights of festivals, where Durga Maa has her Puja done. She has 9 forms called the Nav Durga. It is second last night, the seventh night, which is dedicated to the seventh Nav Durga Mata, Maa Kaalraatri (It can also be spelled Kalaratri or Kaladatri). The first night was dedicated to Maa Shailputri, the second to Maa Brahmacharini, the third to Maa Chandraghanta, the fourth to Maa Kushmanda, the fifth to Maa Skandmata and the sixth to Maa Katyayani!

Information about Kalaratri Maa
Kaladatri form of mother Durga is her seventh form in the sequence of Navaratra worship. Her bodily complexion is that of thick darkness and black. She has disheveled hair. A necklace flashing like lightning adorns her neck. She has three eyes, which are circular in the form like cosmic egg, which always eject rays shining like lightning. Terrible flames appear when she inhales or exhales air through her nostrils. Her vehicle is a donkey. Her raised right hand always seems to grant boons to all and sundry. Her right lower hand is in the pose of allaying fears. Her left upper hand holds a thorn-like weapon made of iron and in the lower left hand there is a dagger.
A form of mother, Kaladatri is extremely frightening to look at but she is always auspicious in effect. This is why she is otherwise known as Subhankari (doing good). So the devotees need not feel any fear from her.
On the seventh day of Navaratra the worship of Kaladatri form is prescribed by the scriptures. This day the mind of the striver reaches Sahasrara Cakra. For such a striver the door of all Siddhis of the universe start opening. This day the Sadhaka with all his faculties is identified with the mother Kaladatri. As a result of her direct vision the devotee becomes quite fit to earn all sorts of virtues. All his sins and obstacles in his way are completely destroyed. He attains the abodes, which are the fruit of inexhaustible virtues.
The mother, Kaladatri destroys the wicked. Danava, Daitya, Raksasa, Bhuta, Preta and all other evil spirits are terrified and run away as soon as the devotee remembers Kaladatri. She is also the remover of planetary evil effects. Her worshipper has no fear from fire, water, wild beings, enemy or night. By her grace he always remains unmindful of any fear.
By keeping her form in the heart and meditating on her the devotee must worship her single-mindedly. He should observe all Yamas, Niyamas and Samyamas (all rules and regulations). Purification of mind, words and body is essential in her worship. She is Subhankari. The auspicious effects emanating from her worship are innumerable.
