Guest guest Posted July 24, 2001 Report Share Posted July 24, 2001 Verse 130 Akaamatah stree vidhavaa japetmoksha mavaappnuyaat/ Avaidhavyam sakaamaa chet labhate chaanya janmaani // If a widow recites this without any desire, she gets redemption, and with desire she will be blessed with a happy connubial life. Why does Swamiji say specially of widows here? Some say they don't see and touch widows; but if they are welathy or in high positions, they are treated well. This is wrong. They should be treated kindly or compassionately and initiated into the methods of practice. Shiva says this particulary in this verse and it means that He takes a vow in the presence of Goddess Paarvati. On the whole, worship without any desire is far superior to the one with desire.
