Why do we light Åkand deep in navaratri

 Navaratri is celebrated twice in a year one  is Chaitra navaratri and the other is aswij navaratri. A lot significance is given to worship of Devi. Why do we put Åkand jyothi to goddess of shakti.
This is one of the ways of showing deep faith and devotion to the goddess.just like a small lighted lamp drives away all the darkness so also lighting the lamp removes all darkness from our lives.
It is also said that japa done I front of Agni gives unlimited punya. And therefore one has to light ghee lamp towards right  and the lamp of oil to the left.
