In the Nath Yogi tradition, which is continued by Guru Mai Ram, the Navaratri period is a festival of deity worship, asceticism, and meditation.

This period of sadhana lasts for nine nights (days) and is considered a time for awakening the inner Goddess Shakti.

Promoting the purification of the sadhaka's consciousness and spiritual growth, Guru Mai Ram initiates into the Navaratri spiritual practice as prescribed by the yoga tradition.

Guru Mai Ram transmits the practice of deity worship — tantra, mantra, yoga — which sadhakas should practice not only during Navaratri but also every day according to their level of initiation.
