Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Pranams to all. I've read through "Answers to some common doubts" section on ambaa.org<http://ambaa.org>website. http://www.ambaa.org/essays/answers.htm I was very surprised to read the section which narrates GhanaapaaThi sundara shastri avadhani's incident. Mother Goddess - who is full of love for her children cant harm them - even when children make mistakes. My mother never finds fault with either myself or my brother even we mistakes or behave rudely towards her. When a human being can be so full of love for her children, how can Mother Goddess who is the Mother of this Jagat take fault to mis-pronounciation/wrong recitation and kill wives of her devotee/son. GhanaapaaThi sundara shastri avadhani might have misread Kavacha of Saptashati but his intention was not wrong. When Bhakta Kannappa offered meat to Lord Shiva he didnt take offence. When Bhakta Kannappa placed his leg on Shiva Linga to fix his second eye Lord Shiva didnt take offence as these acts are out of devotion towards him. My belief is that God/Goddess only looks at our intention / bhavam with which we are reciting stotras or performing pujas. She will not harm her kids for misunderstanding / mis pronounciation. Please enlighten me on this. - Mahesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 In shiva purANa when the son of dadhIchi(not sure if it is dadhIchi riShi or somebody else by that name), on a certain shivarAtri, does shiva pUja without cleaning himself after copulating with his wife, the punishment comes swift from the mountain dweller and he is cursed to become a chAnDAla. It is not devI who harmed that person. He hurt himself. Ishvara is known to be only a sAkShi- witness >When a human being can be so full of love for >her > children, how can Mother Goddess who is the Mother of this Jagat >take fault > to mis-pronounciation/wrong recitation and kill wives of her >devotee/son. I dont think comparing devI with human mother will be of any help. Furthermore, it should be remembered that mantra and prArthana/stuti (human composed) are two different things.
