SHREE MANGALCHANDIKA PRAPATTI FOR WOMEN.
Women shall offer the Shree Mangal Chandika Prapatti on the day of Sankranti i.e. 14th or 15th January (this year Sankranti is on 15th January, Saturday). Offering the Prapatti on this day makes out of every woman, the protective soldier of her family on one hand and the bodyguard of each of her family members on the other.Irrespective of her being a mother, a sister or a wife, she definitely becomes the protector of the family.
The Prapatti is to be done on this day of Sankranti because on this day Mata Mahishasurmardini first set HER Feet on earth, in the Kataraaj ashram of Rishi Kardam and Devahuti, to destroy the demon Mahishasur.
Women shall offer the Prapatti on the day of Sankranti after sunset in any open place, outdoors, for example, on the beach, banks of a river, in the verandah, in the balcony, or even in the open space between two chawls.
Any woman above the age of 16 can offer the Prapatti.
The Prapatti has to be offered only after a bath.
The Prapatti needs to be offered as a group. The more the women doing it together, the better it is.
Though it is not compulsory to offer the Prapatti every consecutive year, to ensure the well being and welfare of your family, you ought to do it every year.
