✨ Masik Durgashtami – Feb 2026 🌺🪔 📅 24 Feb 2026 | Tuesday – A sacred monthly observance dedicated to Goddess Durga, honoring her protective energy, strength, courage and divine blessings. It falls on Krishna Paksha Ashtami (8th lunar day) each month. 🌼 What is Masik Durgashtami? Masik Durgashtami is a monthly Hindu festival where devotees fast, pray, and perform puja to Maa Durga to seek her grace for protection from negative forces, inner courage, harmony at home and strength to overcome obstacles. 🌌 Astrological Significance ✨ In Vedic astrology (Jyotisha), the Ashtami tithi is highly auspicious for invoking Shakti (divine feminine energy) — especially the protective aspect of Goddess Durga. The waxing and waning of the Moon affects emotional balance and intuition, and on this Ashtami, the cosmic alignment supports inner strength, spiritual clarity, and resilience in daily life. It’s an ideal time to chisel out negativity, fear and doubt and align with positive cosmic energy and courage. 🔱 Rituals & Devotion 🪔: 🌷 Wake early, cleanse body & puja space 🪔 Light a ghee or oil lamp for Durga 🌟 📿 Recite Durga mantras like Om Dum Durgayei Namaha 💫 🍎 Offer fresh flowers, fruit & prasad 🙏 Keep a light fast (vrat) to invite blessings & mental focus 🎁 Share prasad & charity with family & neighbors for harmony and good fortune 💝 Benefits of Masik Durgashtami: ✔ Removes fear & negativity ✔ Strengthens resolve & self-confidence ✔ Brings peace, harmony & protection ✔ Encourages compassion & mindfulness at home Masik Durgashtami is not just a ritual — it’s a monthly reset to realign with the inner strength and divine feminine grace that helps us face life’s challenges with courage and devotion. 🕉️🌸 👉 Tap ❤️ if Maa Durga is your strength!
