Siddh Mantras of Maa Kushmanda for Freedom from Diseases: Special Chants for This Evening

New Delhi/Kashi: Today, Sunday, March 22, 2026, marks the fourth day of Chaitra Navratri. This day is dedicated to Maa Kushmanda, a manifestation of Adi-Shakti. According to the scriptures, when the universe was enveloped in darkness, the Goddess created the cosmos with her slight, radiant smile (Ishat Hasya), which is why she is hailed as 'Adi-Shakti' (the Primal Energy). Maa Kushmanda is believed to reside within the core of the Sun (Surya Loka), which explains why her brilliance and aura are as dazzling as the sun itself.

The Connection Between Health and Maa Kushmanda

Maa Kushmanda is known as 'Ashtabhuja Dhari' (the eight-armed goddess). Devotion to her not only brings mental peace but is also believed to cure physical ailments and chronic diseases. Especially with today being a Sunday, her worship is highly beneficial in mitigating Sun-related astrological defects (Surya Dosha) and health issues such as eye disorders, skin diseases, and heart-related ailments.
