Navami
Navami is the Sanskrit word for "nine", and is the ninth day in the lunar fortnight ("Paksha") of the Hindu calendar. Each month has two Navami days, being the ninth day of the "bright" ("Shukla") and of the "dark" ("Krishna") fortnights respectively. Thus Navami occurs on the ninth and the twenty-fourth day of each month. Events. Hindu saint Sri Guru Raghavendra Swami was born on Phalguna Sukla Navami, when the moon was in Mrigashīrsha Nakshatra, in 1595 AD and advocated Sri Madhvacharya's Dvaita philosophy.
