Why chant the 32 Names of Durga?
Navaratri, or the nine days of sadhana, is traditionally celebrated as a festival. During this period, according to the story, Shakti (Durga) was victorious over the negative forces or demons. Traditionally, it is the victory of Shakti which is remembered during these nine days. Navaratri falls twice during the year, once in the month of April and once in the month of September. For spiritual aspirants, Navaratri has a special meaning because, due to the lining up of the faith and devotion of the people in the nation, an environment is created in such a way that any form of spiritual sadhana or pooja becomes conducive to spiritual development. The story behind Navaratri is also symbolic.

Durga, created by the power and qualities of the devas, fought against the demons and was victorious.

The feeling of love and compassion is coloured by motivations which are selfish, personal and individualistic.
So, good qualities are always coloured by the gunas. The negative traits seem to have more power in external life, because the manifest world is a process of outgoing experience. Communication is outward. The entire spectrum of life is geared for interaction with the external world of name, form, idea and object, within the confines of time and space. The negative or limiting tendencies hamper our growth and the expression of our positive nature in the manifest world.
Human life has a particular quality and nature which is constantly subject to the influences of prakriti, maya, and the three gunas. Under the influence of prakriti, all beings perform in a certain way. Under the influence of purusha, all beings perform in a different way again. In prakriti, in maya
