Significance of Goga Navami:
Goga Navami is one of the important Hindu festivals celebrated in the honor of Gogaji. According to legends, Goga ji is known to be a mighty Rajput prince who had supernatural powers to control poisonous snakes. Hindus believe that worshiping him on this day protects him from snakes and other evils. Apart from this, there is also a popular belief that Bhgawan Goga protects children from all harm. Hence married women worship Goga Navami and pray to him for the well-being and long life of their children. Some childless married women also pray for children on this day.
Gogaji is considered the ultimate disciple of Gorakhnath. Goga Navami is also known as Gugga Navami.
