wat were they doing when the goddess was getting the visa, passport !

[Guest guest]

what were the monks who want to fire the goddess doing when she got

the visa,passport and stuff.. and after eveything is done they fume

up... funny is it not..

 

may be there is that the goddess should not cross the seas.. IF U

WOULD KNOW ANY HINDU MUTT head should cross the seas..Thats why a

huge altercation came up when the now seer of kanchi mutt jayendrar

wnated to go abroad!

 

 

and whoare they to fire a goddess, dont they know that every girl

child, woman has to revered as a MANIFESTATION OF DEVI SHAKTHI....

 

look at how the worship of kumari in nepal came about..

The king of nepal was a arderent devotee of DEVI and ma shakthi

always used to appear in all her splendour, however one day during

one such darshan the king looked at the devi with lust ,angered maa

left the kingdom..

after much pleading the goddess agreed to return to nepal,on the

condition that she be worshiped as kumari (in the form of a girl

child)..

 

as seen the tradition is still adhered to.
