Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 The Devi Gita tells the story of how the Divine Goddess became manifest on the 9th Day of Caitra. A great asura by the name of Taraka, The Illuminator of Duality, had taken over the three worlds. He had won the boon that he could only be killed by the son of Shiva. Now all the Gods were dejected as at that time Lord Shiva had neither a wife nor a son. They went to Lord Vishnu who advised them to worship the Goddess. In Verses 21-25 of Chapter 3 of the Devi Gita....... The Gods engaged in performing the Homa and sacrificial offerings to the sacred fire... some began to observe various vows of worship... some engaged in one-pointed meditation ... some recited hymns ... some performed inner sacrifice and .... some continually established the energies of the Goddess within. Then on the 9th lunar day of Caitra the Divine Goddess became manifest. Verses 27-41 describe Her radiating light like ten million suns and again like the coolness of ten million moons. So dear family let us all worship with pure devotion so that we too can have Her Grace. We are so blessed to have this wonderful translation by Swamiji and the good fortune that He continues to teach and inspire us.

These delicate, sweet morsels are more fragrant than a thousand night- blooming jasmine bushes. i crave them like one thirsting in the hottest desert, for they quench the spritual thirst and feed our Souls with pure nourishment. i bow to Anna Purna who feeds us with Her own Divine Energy. Jai Chandi Shree Maa! Jai Shiva Swamiji! Jai Thakur Ramakrishna Deva! your sister dissolving in the ocean of Maa's Love, muktimaa > > The Devi Gita tells the story of how the Divine Goddess became > manifest on the 9th Day of Caitra. > > A great asura by the name of Taraka, The Illuminator of Duality, had > taken over the three worlds.
