The deeper meaning of the nights of these two pakshas is that during Pitru Paksha one should express gratitude towards one’s deceased ancestors, because the sacrifice and penance of the ancestors empowers existence, whereas on the occasion of Navratri, one should live his life according to the religious traditions of his family.
