Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Respected members, Please allow me to ask a question that,s been on my mind lately.At this moment Im in the process of tending my garden. I like to dedicate this garden to Devi, in Her form of Durga.Could you please give me some information on: 1.In which direction I must seed the flowers dedicated to Durga Maa? ( east or west?) If it is permitted to have a small idol put in the garden as well? and if so should the idol be in a small temple? or since it,s a garden would a simple roof be suficient? Sincerely Yours, Maureen.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Shouldn't matter what techniques you use to care for your garden. Simple devotion is enough. I remember feeling horribly afraid when tending my Tulsi plants should I hurt them, but yet they all died. A few days ago I went outside and guess what, they came back this year. Krishna Tulsi seem to do better where I live. As an interest please read this evocative article on shade tree therapy http://botanical.com/site/column_poudhia/41_treeshades.html - Maureen Thursday, May 20, 2004 11:55 AM Question.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Durga has an aspect called Shakambari, "She who is clad in vegetation." So far as directions are concerned, I always perceive Durga as being in the Center. Some Vedic astrologers see Durga as defending against the negative influences of Rahu, the eclipse-maker, whose direction is the South-west. -- Len/ Kalipadma On Thu, 20 May 2004 18:55:11 +0200 (W.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Interesting. I always thought that the earth itself is the Body of DEVI. Don't we just let HER decide where she wants the plant to face. You put the seed, and do the necessary and let natures take its own course. But maybe talking to the plants may be a good idea you know! It is my believe that plant, flowers etc and all those in our garden, can actually feel us. LOL. So if we enter the garden feeling blue or moody, obviously the plant will react accordingly. You tend your garden singing and talking to them as if they are listening to you, they will do exactly that : they sing their own beautiful song back to you. I started with just a few Tulasi seeds, plant them in a little corner, and now they grow in abundance. I told THEM, hey! You are taking up the Roses space. Come on share with the roses, and you know, that is what they did . They still grow but stay away from the Roses. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
