Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Srimatha Once Lord Devendra (Lord of Devathas) worshipping mother goddess with golden flowers. At that time Narada came, Lord Devendra said ' I feel prestigious to worship mother with golden flowers, Who else can worship mother with golden flowers like me, I have done more than anybody else '. From there Narada went to have darshan of Divine Mother. There he found mother suffering from cuts all over her body, the cause of her pain is due to devendra's insolence. She told a man in Kasinagara can heal her pain and asked narada to visit him. Narada reached kasinagara and enquired all the wealthy people and great healers of the village about that person. None of them know about him, narada with a great disappointment decided to return back. On the way, he saw a brahmin weeping behind Goddess Visalakshi temple, the reason is he could not get any alms on that day, so he cannot invite any guests. Narada went and asked that brahmin about the person whom he looking for and narrated divine mothers pain, but the brahmin did not show much interest to what narada was talking about. Narada returned back to divine mother with great sorrow. To his surprise, narada saw divine mother dancing with full of joy and happiness, she told narada, the grief of that brahmin had cured all her pain. One day when father and mother of the world ('Adidampatulu') are discussing, at that moment Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu along with all other Celestial Beings (Devathalu) arrived at Kailasa. All of them addressed Lord Shiva as 'Mruthyumjaya' (Victory over Death). Then Divine mother asked Lord Shiva ' Oh Lord ! When did you conquer death? ' Then Lord replied " He conquered death when he crushed Lord Yama with his foot while trying to protect his beloved disciple 'Markandeya' " . The mother again questioned lord shiva ' Which foot left or right? ' Then Lord showed his left foot to Goddess Parvathi . Divine mother smiled at Lord as she found anklets, toe rings (mattelu) and beautiful saree border ornamented to his left foot. The left side of lord is divine mother. Then everyone understood that Mother Goddess foot has conquered death whereas Father of the world has conquered desire. As we get older we might come out of desires, but in order to come across death we have to submit ourselves to divine mothers lotus feet. Victory over death does not mean an endless life in this physical world, which will not benefit anyone. Victory over death means to overcome the cycle of birth and death and attain 'Moksha'. One of the best ways to attain 'Moksha' is to submit yourselves to mother goddess with utmost devotion and service. to be continued... COURTESY : MIHIRA thank you, regards, surekha.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I love this story. I realize it may be an oral transmission, but do you know if this occurs in any scripture such as the Devi Bhagavatam?
