Jai Maa!

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Aum Namah Shivayah!

 

My respectful and loving pranams at the Holy feet of our most beloved

Maa and Swamiji. Countless are the blessings that we receive by

knowing them and thinking about them.

 

I would like to share a conversation between an individual and Sri Ma

Anandamayee about the Chandi from "Practical Vedanta from Sri Krishna

to Ma Anandamayee, p152-153:

 

"I visited my Guru-Ashram, Shri Shri Ma Anandamayee Ashram, Bhadini,

Varanasi from Patna during the Durga Puja holiday of 1951. On the

Navami Puja day, we went to witness the evening arati of Goddess

Durga at the residence of Patalda, an earnest devotee of the Mother,

in a few motor cars, along with the Mother, after the evenning arati

of the ashram was over.

 

At the end of the arati, a relative of Patalda asked the Mother, "Ma,

are the episodes of the killing of Mahishashur and others, as parts

of Durga Puja, historical facts or only the figments of imagination

of the Rishis?

 

The Mother turned grave on hearing such a question, Her face began

glowing with a divine crimson aura and She uttered in firm tone in an

aphoristic language of ancient seers, "The divine play of Goddess

Durga did take place, is taking place, shall take place in future and

is part of Her eternal manifestation.Hoechhe, Hochche, Habe, Hoy"

(in Bengali). That is to say, the divine play of Goddess Durga is

certainly not the figment of imagination of the Rishis; rather the

divine play did take place in a previous cosmic cycle in some part of

the infinite universe, is now taking place in some part of the

universe, shall take place in subsequent cosmic cycles in this or

some other universe, and the spiritual battle between gods and demons

rages always in the subtle body of the shakti sadhak.

 

 

Jai Maa! Jai Swamiji!
