worshipping method of goddess durga

2007-06-05T06:11:00.000-07:00

There are many many methods of worship of maa durga or kaali maata or the universal mother. Variation is such that we can not even think of the tantrik poojas. But i am telling about simplest method to invoke the grace of mother to achieve your day to day problems.

I was wondering from company to company on job and no where i could retain my post more than a year. I prayed mother kaamakshi in delhi and because of her grace only i came to chennai, nearer to kanchi. Even in chennai i had to change jobs, because of whims and fancies of the employers or my badluck, mother protected me by retaining me in chennai, nearer to her.

I am vexed up with small comapny jobs, though i have good qualifications and experience (from my point of view). I lost my job again in a company in november. from there on i started vigourously praying Her by visiting nearby amman temple, making pradakshinas to her temple, almost regularly.

finally maa , mother graced in the month of june, that i got my dream job, for which i was waiting for a decade. I salute again to her protective feet for her grace.

Maa anandamayi Story

2007-05-01T22:59:00.000-07:00

Amma (maa anandamoyi) was born in a poor fishing village in Kerala, Southern India, in 1953. Her father sold fish to make a living. Her mother relates that the child wasn't born crying as babies usually are, but with a beaming smile on Her face. She was given the name Sudhamani (Ambrosial Jewel).
Even as a small child, it was clear that She was unique. At six months She could walk and talk, and by the age of three She was constantly singing. By the age of five She was composing beautiful, extraordinarily profound hymns to Her beloved Krishna.
Sudhamani charmed and delighted everyone around Her. But as She grew, Her divine moods, including frequent meditative states, singing, and ecstatic dancing beside the seashore, began to annoy Her family. At the early age of five Sudhamani was already subjected to severe scoldings.
When Sudhamani was nine, Her mother became ill. Although Sudhamani was the brightest girl in Her class, She had to leave school and take care of Her entire family. It was a gruelling task, with seven brothers and sisters to feed and clothe, and animals to tend. She virtually became the family servant, working from before dawn till midnight. As part of Her work She had to collect food for the family cows. She would roam the local villages, gathering grass and visiting neighbourhood homes to ask for vegetable peels and leftover rice gruel for the cows. At times like these, She saw many things that troubled Her. She saw how some people were starving, while others had more than enough. She saw that many people were sick and suffering from intense pain, unable to afford a single painkiller. And She noticed that many of the elderly were neglected and treated harshly by their own families. Her empathy was such that the pain of others was unbearable to Her. Though just a child, She began to contemplate the question of suffering. She asked Herself, why do people suffer? What is the underlying cause of suffering? And so powerfully did She feel the presence of God within Her that She wanted to reach out and comfort and uplift those who were less fortunate than She.
In many ways, it was then that Amma's mission began. She would share Her food with the starving, and She would bathe and clothe the elderly who had no one to look after them. She was punished when She gave away the family's food and belongings to the poor, but Sudhamani would not stop Her acts of kindness. She took refuge in the solitude of the night, spending hours meditating and fervently praying to Lord Krishna.
During the day She carried his photo in Her blouse pocket and constantly sang His names. During Her early teens, Sudhamani was sent to the houses of relatives where She laboured for long hours, taking care of their households as well. Throughout all her duties She was incessantly singing and chanting Krishna's name, and imagined that all the work she did was for him. Sweeping the yard, she imagined that he could arrive at any moment. As she prepared food she imagined that Krishna would appear as a guest at the table. In this way she never resented her duties, nor the abuse her family gave her, but only prayed to given more of the Lord's work. "Amma had no feelings of strangeness when She came into this world. Everything was so utterly familiar to Her, and when one knows everything about the world one can only smile. When one beholds the entire universe as a play of Consciousness, what else can one do but smile?" - Amma
