ant-hill worship I I

[Guest guest]

The procedure for "YOJANGANDHAA YOGINI"worship,as mentioned is to be

done after feeding enough food grains on ant-hills.In brief -At

morning the person shall start and drop food grains specially

prepared for the ants on as many ant hills in near by area as

possible,he shall also mentally (or loudly)chant the mantra of "the

yojangandhaa yogini".When he tieredup,he must sleep under any tree

concentrating the godess,the book says that the godess will appear

before him and say-I am pleased with you.Than the person will get the

things whatever he desired.

THE MANTRA ="Yojangandhaa yoginy,ridhhi sidhhi bharapoora.me aayo

tore dvaarane,too deeje sidhhi jaroora".

The whole procedure is mentioned in the book"MANTRAMAHARNAVA".This

goddess seems to be different fromthe Naaga worship.
