MATAJI
‘ Her mysterical and
miraculous actions are anonymous and anomolous to understand and
unpredictable.Even today in Kali yuga
( new age ) whenever there will be evil and
difficult times on earth she
will come to rescue her devotees in any form.’
Ya devi sarva bhoothe shu
shakti roopena sansthita
namastasyaye namastasyaye namastasyaye namo namaha!
Mataji (
The great Mother Goddess ) is the
source of power though eternal and extreme, unborn and absolute; yet she has
appeared in many forms and figures as she has taken incarnations many times to
help the world in difficult conditions.
It is believed
that she was there even before the
creation of the universe and she is omnipresent and omnipotent!
Nothing in the whole universe is impossible nor anything would exist without
Mataji ( shakti ). Shakti is the energy that exists within all living
humanbeings, animals, creatures and plants.Not even a leaf could move without
the permission of Mataji.
It
is her that keeps universe going, the earth going round the sun, The sun
spearding raidiance and the moon spearding light, the wind serving breeze, the
clouds showering rain to trees which give cool shelter and every drop of blood
that circulates in our body is due to the force of Mataji.
'The
Mother is found everywhere, and in all living beings. The true form of the
Divine Mother is Creative Energy, Shakti, which is understood in different ways
in different countries and times, but in reality, there is no difference, it is
one Creative Power. There is nothing beyond Shakti in this world of action.
Every action in the world is accomplished through Shaktii!'
She
symbolises the feminine power, When there was chaos in the cosmos she took
various forms such as Durga and Kali to Kill the demons and defeat the evil and
to save the living beings. Even the Gods of the trinity ( Bramma, Vishnu and
Shiva) went to her at difficult situations.
'Her
mysterical and miraculous actions are anonymous and anomolous to understand and
unpredictable.Even today in Kali yuga
( new age ) whenever there will be evil and
difficult times on the Earth
she will come to rescue her devotees in any form.’
Not
normal people like us but great rushis and munis (sages) have said this!
We do
not know exactly how Mataji looked like but the rushis and munis (sages)
which existed during the period such as Markandeya and Sootji
witnessed her in her female
forms and narrated the 'Markandeya Puran'
in which there are some detailed descritions of how Mataji must have looked
like. From this artists have come up with many many imppressions and created
many masterpieces of art Even by looking at her beautifully carved
sculptures one cannot predict her beauty.Her sculptures and idols
installed in thousands of temples in India and worldwide where thousands
of devotees flock to seek her blessings.
She
plays in the souls and bodies of Bhuvas ( one who becomes possesed by
Mataji ) and the hearts of devotees, she
looks upon who ever believes in her with love and faith and worships her
with the mind body and soul, she talks to those who speak to her, she
comes closer to those who call out to her, she appears in front of those who
meditate upon her, she installs herself where ever her hyms ( bhajans and garbas
) are sung. It is up to us to
realise. This can only be obtained when one is free from Kama (love), Krodh
(anger), Lobh (proudness) and Moha (lust) and who surrenders their life to
Mataji.
She
is in us - her shakti (energy) is which makes our 5 senses work,
therefore one should see her in all living beings and help every living being to
seek her blessings.
It is belived that Mataji came on earth in a female form as Sati (consort of
Shiva). When her father Daksha insulted lord Shiva, Sati was so upset that
she could not bear it, and with her force and energy she burned her body into
flames. When lord Shiva was carriying her burning corpse away from the earth,
some parts of the Sati's fire fell onto the earth. Wherever that fire fell,
there came up a Shakti peeth (pilligramage point).
Even today, Mataji is performing many miracles. Wherever Mataji has
performed a miracle, that place has become a holy pilligramage spot.
Thus Mataji is the supreme and immortal Shakti (everlasting power)
which was there even before the creation, is still omnipresent today and will
always exist even after the destruction of the universe.
