Annapoorna - Goddess of plenty, generosity and grains

[Guest guest]

 

Annapoorna - Goddess of plenty, generosity and grains

 

 

She promises to those who come to her what only a mother can give, naturally and freely - food.

 

Goddess Annapoorna is looked upon as the provider of food and the sustainer of prosperity. Legend has it that Shiva made an agreement with Goddess Annapoorna that she look after life before death, ensuring that no one went hungry in the sacred city of Kasi, while he would ensure they received moksha (freedom from the cycle of birth & death). Annapoorna is Kasi's queen. She is known in the Kasi Khanda as Bhavani, the female shakti of Bhava, "Being," one of the names of Shiva. The name Annapoorna means "She of Plenteous Food." She is called the "Mother of the Three Worlds," and she promises to those who come to her what only a mother can give, naturally and freely - food.

 

Legend says when Vishnu adopted the Vamana avatar, the sky provided him the umbrella, Kubera provided him the bowl and Goddess Annapoorna, the gracious hostess herself, offered bhiksha to Him. The idol of Annapoorna always has a small vessel/ladle containing Annam (food) signifying that the worshipper is assured of food throughout his/her life time.
