NAVRATRA SPECIAL 8 : Worshipping the Real Goddess



Goddess Amba, the ocean of love and kindness is ever ready to grace the one who seeks Her blessings. So merciful is the Goddess that she is willing to manifest herself and bless the seeker in any form he so wishes. So from power to wealth, from poverty to illusion, all are her forms. It is upto the seeker in what manifestation he invokes the Devi.

On a different note, Baba ji adds that the birth of a girl child signals the arrival of a Goddess in the family. If a person is devoid of wisdom and perceives this birth as a burden for life, the Goddess grants him troubles for his life. The new born baby girl has the Goddess activated in her as Bala Tripursundari.

Daksh Prajapati is one example of a man who paid the price of disrespecting his daughter. He was blessed to have the Goddess herself as his daughter but she warned to depart as soon as he disrespected her. He prospered as she entered his family as Goddess Sati and because of her blessings he came to be hailed as 'Prajapati'. But later, as he insulted her, she departed, replacing his head with a goat's head.
The second time a Goddess enters the family is as the daughter-in-law. The latter is symbolic of Goddess Mahalakshmi. But an ignorant person instead of welcoming the Goddess is concerned about the windfall monetary gains in the form of dowry. Doing this ruins his luck.

The third form of the physical manifestation of Goddess is the old mother. If she is abandoned, the Mahakali gets upset.

Baba ji sermonizes that it is no good worshipping idols if one cannot respect the living aspect of the Goddess. He adds that there can be no family where the women are disrespected and the family is prospering.Thus, the more the women are respected in the family,be more the divine energies will be willing to come to those families.
