Arunagiri

In the Pranav mantra “AUM”, Ganesha represents the letter “U” (pronounced as vu). “U” represents the preservation among the trinity.

Lord Shiva is believed to be esp. receptive to worship at this time. Mondays (Shravan Somvaar) are observed with fasting, prayers, poojas with offerings like water, milk, bilva leaves, honey, curd, and chanting mantras such as Om Namah Shivaya or Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra.

Shakti is the ruler of Tantra Vidya, thus making Navratri an esp. auspicious time to learn things that is beyond the ordinary.
