am i neglecting mother

[Guest guest]

dear sriram garu

 

these days , for the past one month i am not doing puja completely,

or some times i am not lighting the lamp too. i have heavy work loads

sometimes or i just sit idle doing nothing. before i use to chant

khadgamala every day , now i am skipping it too. not intentionally,

but it happening some times. i am worried why this is happening with

me. will mother go away from me. i am going in front of her (where i

perform puja) and i find she is as prasanna as ever with same smile. (

y am saying this is i always see or feel different expressions in her

face , like aluka, happiness, love ) still i feel guilty that i am

doing aparadham to her. i am busy with my father who is ill. and i am

unable to concentrate on puja. some time i cry , feeling that i am

going away from her. please help me to come out of this guilt, what

do you want me to do. because for me she is every thing.

 

with regards

sridevi

Dear Amma,

 

First thing to understand is:

Mother never goes anywhere only we drift away from Her.

 

Second, Divine mother does not demand you to do Khadgamala or any

stotras as they need deeksha,nishtha and niyama.

 

Third, a simple lighting of a lamp before divine mother and lighting

an agarbatthi and folding one's hands and praying your heart out and

chanting the name " Amma Rajarajeshwari " is sufficient if done with

great Bhakthi-bhava.

(And if possible a small cup of milk-dont you offer milk to a guest

who has come to your house. Consider for a moment that She is an

esteemed guest to your heart's house)

 

Fourth, it is only a busy man/woman who finds time for everything,

they say.Organizing one's time and weeding out things which are

inessential become imperative.Ypou are able to browse the inernet and

give these posting, do you think what I said above will take more

time than Switching on the computer,logigng in and typing and sending

the post and checking your emails?

 

Fifth, if you are busy with your father who is ill.Pay full attention

to your father. Humanity is more important than pujas. The hands that

serve are better than the lips that pray. Your service in itself is a

form of Prayer to Ambal. Give it fully, give it joyfully.Serve your

father not with the feeling that he is your father(then it becomes

elfishness) serve him in the bhava that divine mother's shakthi is

present in him and thus he too is Divine Mother. I know this is tough

but it is not impossible. Thus you do a great seva to Divine mother

Herself.

 

Sixth,

chenniyathu, un pon thiruvadith thaamarai! chindhaiyuLLE

manniyathu, un thiru manthiram;- chindhura vaNNap peNNE!-

munniyanNin adiyaarudan koodi, muRai muRaiyE

panniyadhu, enRum unthan paramaakama paththathiyE

 

Head of mine is below your lotus like feet,

Heart of mine forever is full of manthras praising you,

Oh red colured pretty one,

Think and discuss I always,

With thine devotees great,

Verses singing thine praise and thine agamas and rules.

 

Here ABhirami Bhattar hints that the satsangha(divine communication

and reading of the messages of this or any other group or talking

with divine people) is an easy marga in Kaliyuga.

 

" Satsanghatwe' nissanghatwam " (The purpose of satsangha is to get

vairaagya not to mingle more and more with people to socialize in the

name of divinity. To go deep within)

 

Seventh,

 

What you say regaqrding Mother changing her face in the phot or

appearing to you as sometimes Aluka,happines,love,prasanna are just

mirror images of your athmic-mind.

 

Leonardo Da Vinci was renowned for his portrait Monalisa because the

portrait responds to whatever emotion the viewer sees the Lady in the

portrait.

 

Same with Divine Mother. She is a mirror a simple mirror albeit not

just of your mind but your Athmic mind also.(one might wonder what

this athmic mind is all about. It is the quality of the soul toward

its evolution. " Eerpaal sila perum thungai, Narpinaal pala athma-

vanjanaye' "

 

Eight the very feeling that you are gulity and crying for divine

mother will please her and thus she shows in a way prasanna to you.

You need not be petrified that She will become angry because you dint

do puja or read khadgamala.

 

Remember Her from heart while pressing the feet of your father(she

will press your heart pains out!), chant Her divine name when you are

cleaning the vegetables(she will clean your sins!), sing Her glory

when you are taking bath(and she will give you a punya snana), sigh

Her name when you feel burdened(she will lift your burdens),SHOUT OUT

ALOUD her name when you feel angry and frustrated-She will diffuse

your anger...

 

See so amny ways to do Her smarana and you cry in waste!!

 

The tears are precious dear Amma and store it for Devi and may the

tears whic flow come for Her,to Her and even by Her.

 

For you are Her child...her dear dear child.

 

And I remain yours yogically-a wayfarer who gives you some water when

you are thirsty in this path.

 

Thats all!

 

ninRum irunthum kidandhum nadandhum ninaippathu unnai;

enRum vaNankuvadhu un malarth thaaL!-ezhuthaamaRaiyin

onRum arumporuLE! aruLE! umaiyE! imayaththu

anRum piRanthavaLE! azhiyaa muththi aanandhamE!!!!!!

 

Standing, sitting, lying and walking,

I think and worship your lotus like feet,

Oh grace giving Uma, who is the ultimate aim of unwritten Vedas,

And who appeared in the foothills of Himalayas,

You give us all the perennial redemption,

And are of the form of everlasting happiness

 

Endrum santosham kondirakka cheyyvvaai

Endrum santosham kondirakka cheyyvvaai!
