Regards, Yogeendra Bhat Shri Krishna Vrundavana NJ USA 732-283-8982 / 732-549-6959 / 732-589-8080 Shri Durga Pooja:- In Durga Pooja we make "Maha-NavArNa Mandala" by Rangoli powder and light the lamp (significance of jnana) on the Mandala. Then we offer AvAhana, Archana, Alankaara, and all kinds of Poojas along with kumkumArchana and chanting of Veda Mantras and "Devi Mahatme" (SapthaShathI) as stated in Markandeya PuraNa and Tantra Agamas. By this Pooja all our good wishes and desires will be fulfilled. Shri Durga will lead us in Dharma-marga and gives us Jnana in accordance with the Will of the Supreme Lord. Significance of Durga Pooja :- The knowledge of all Jeevas (souls) is covered by Ajnana. The Ajnana is present from the infinite past called Maya. Maya is the cause for Jeevas being in Samsara. Ajnana of the Jeevas make it very hard to see the real goals of life and cause them to repeatedly take birth to settle the past deeds. The basic knowledge gained from senses is common in all kind of Jeevas. This human life is the only unique and auspicious chance, with the possibility of seeking God-Knowledge. The priority of the human life is to seek Knowledge along with our basic life duties. To reach our goal, overcoming all obstacles, with happy life we have to receive Blessings of MahaLakshmi, Mother of the Universe. The compassionate Lord NaaraayaNa has given us this human life with all facilities. Under His Supreme-Will, Shri MahaLakshmi grants us all our wishes and leads us to Jnana-marga because, the thriguNaas (Satwa, Rajas, Tamas) the root cause for ajnana and Samsaara, are in Her control. By the Will of the Lord, Shri MahaLakshmi incarnates in three main Roopas Shree, Bhoo, and Durga, the controlling deities of Satwa, Rajas, and Tamo guNaas. Tamo guNa is the instigator for all sinful activities and ajnana. To be free from ajnana and all difficulties from our sins, we have to pray to Shri MahaLakshmi in Durga Roopa and the Supreme Lord in Her.
