The Mythology of Narak Chaturdashi 2021
Lord Krishna and the Victory over Narakasura
According to legend, Lord Krishna, assisted by his consort Satyabhama, killed the demon Narakasura on this day. Narakasura had taken thousands of women into captivity and was terrorising the three worlds. His demise represented the triumph of divine will over the ego of demons.
This myth represents wiping out inner demons—negativity, fear, wrath, attachments, that impede our soul’s evolution.
Why Narak Chaturdashi is a Day of Karmic Liberation
Astrological Importance
Narak Chaturdashi in Vedic astrology happens when Chaturdashi tithi (14th lunar day) overlaps with Krishna Paksha (waning moon). This is said to be a Rahu-dominant period, when negative karma rises to the surface, and when proper rituals can neutralise planetary malefics such as Ketu, Rahu, and Shani (Saturn).
Spiritual remedies performed on this day have intensified effects, particularly in:
- Letting go of chronic misfortune
- Medical issues due to planetary doshas
- Obstacles in career and marriage
Narak Chaturdashi 2021 Rituals to Eradicate Obstacles
1. Abhyanga Snan – The Holy Bath
This is not a regular bath—it’s a purification spiritual process. The ritual comprises:
Applying ubtan of sesame oil, sandalwood, turmeric, and herbs
Bathing before dawn (preferably during Brahma Muhurat)
Chanting mantras such as:
“Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya”
This procedure cleanses your body, aura, and energy, freeing up negative karma accumulated.
2. Lighting 14 Diyas (Lamps)
Light 14 earthen lamps during the evening, and each diya symbolises:
Victory over one kind of darkness
A boon for protection in each direction and the chakra
Position the diyas:
- At the main entrance
- In the puja room
- In the bathroom (to destroy hidden energies)
- Near the Tulsi plant
Astroeshop Tip: Light lamps with mustard oil or ghee, and recite the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra for protection.

3. Offering to Yama (The Lord of Death)
According to the Garuda Purana, Narak Chaturdashi is also Yamadeepdaan Day. Untimely death and accidents can be avoided by performing a diya offering to Lord Yama at dusk.
Mantra:
“Mrityu Yamaaya Namah”
