[Rajarajeshwari_Kalpataru] Who is neela devi

[Guest guest]

Dear SirI would like to put a point here, Laksmi and/or Saraswati are like mothers for Ganapati. Where ever you saw Lakshmi-Ganesh, Mother is always on right side.Please kindly consult with some known persons, and do let me truth too.regardsawaneeshkrishnarao <lanka.krishnarao wrote: Shambhavi , eshwar NK <triyambakeshwar wrote: > > Dear Sir, > > I read your posting on Neela Devi with interest.

Perhaps you will be aware that the consort of Uchista Ganapati , A powerful combination of Siva Sakti, very ideal fer worship in kaliyug, is also called Neela Saraswati.I do not contradict or question what u said but furnishing this as only additional information. > > With Warmest regards ------------------------- >-mAnya SrI Eshwar, Thank you very much for the information about uchista Ganapati and his consort neelasaraswati. This is generally observed by the vAmAcAra tradition. I know some upAsakas pouring morsels of `jutha' rice (half eaten)on their chests and some spitting in a view, that `jutha ganapathi' always likes his upasakas while being `jutha'. They don't at all accept the esoteric meaning of `uchishta'. In fact we have to understand it as the one who remains after rejecting every thing saying "nEti nEti". There will be some similarities in the names of dEvatas one with another. There is one paricArika of radhA dEvi with the name of "lalita", whom we define as "sarvAn atiitya lalati iti lalita". If you don't think otherwise, we cannot understand the secrets of these dEvatas, unless we rise a bit above of the purANic characters and their relations. If we accept that all the types of ganNapatis mentioned, are one and the same. He is a brahmacari. He has two wives by names as, siddhi (R^iddi) and buddhi. They are lakshmi and saraswati. You might have seen this in so many pictures. The name "lakSmi gaNapati" is well known. The name "niila saraswati" itself is a combination of two names as `niila' and `saraswati'. `niila' means `kALi'. In fact the kALi (rudra sakti) who would be the only person remaining after the total dissolution, (Bhrasyad dEvagaNam trasan munigaNam naSyat

prapancam layam paSyan nirBhara Eka Eva viharatyAnanda sAndrO bhavAn) is the brahma Sakti `saraswati' to start creation of the universe. So both characters are one and the same. Then the kALi who is considered as the consort of Siva, now becomes the wife of gaNapathi. In puruSha sUkta also it is said that "hR*Isca lakShmIsca tE patnyau" It is said that both pArvati and lakSmi are the wives of the puruSha. saraswati is a river. She is the wife of `sagara'. "bANatwam vR^iShaBhatwam ardha vapuShA BhAryAtwam AryApate GONitwam saKitA mR^idanga vahatA cEtyAdi rUpam dadhaU, twatpAdE nayanArpaNam ca kR^itavAn twad dEha BhAgO harih pUjyAt pUjya tarah sa Eva hi na cEt kOvA tad anyO~dhikah ||" AdisankarAcArya says that the better half of ardha nArISwara is viShNu.(hari); BhAryA – Siva`s wife is viShNu. Unless we strictly adopt the `caturvidha' or `Shadvidha `aikya niShPAlanam' in our

upAsana, it cannot be the correct method. We have to think ourselves as the dEvatA, what ever be its name. whether it is gaNapati, or viShNu or Siva, lakShmi, saraswati or any others. Yours always in the service of the mother. krishnarao
