Chanting the Mantra Jaap and reciting the names of God yield infinite results during these 9 days, and reading the Durga Saptashati is also beneficial for fulfilling various desires. However, one should ensure that they aren’t mispronouncing the words mentioned in Durga Saptshati. All rituals should be performed secretly to yield the greatest benefits.

Legend Behind Ashadha Gupt Navratri

Rishi told the woman to worship Goddess Durga during the Ashadha Gupt Navratri, a festival not widely known. The woman performed tapasya or intense penance during the Gupt Navratri, and with the blessings of Goddess Durga, she was blessed with prosperity and peace.
