Story Of Srimati Tulasi-Devi

Tulasi - Devi Story_pdf

Asta-Nama-Stava from the Padma Purana The Eight Names of Vrinda-devi

Vrindavani, vrinda, visvapujita, pushpasara, nandini, Krishna-jivani, visva-pavani, tulasi

• VRINDAVANI - One who first manifested in Vrindavan.
• VRINDA - The goddess of all plant and trees ( even if one Tulasi plant is present in a forest it can be called Vrindavana.)
• VISHVAPUJITA - One whom the whole universe worships.
• PUSHPASARA - The topmost of all flowers, without whom Krishna does not like to look upon other flowers.
• NANDINI - Seeing whom gives unlimited bliss to the devotees.
• KRISHNA-JIVANI - The life of Sri Krishna.
• VISHVA-PAVANI - One who purifies the three worlds.
• TULASI - One who has no comparison. 

Anyone while worshiping Tulasi-devi chants these eight names will get the same results as one who performs the Ashvamedha sacrifice. And one who on the full-moon day of Kartika (Tulasi-devi's appearance day) worships Her with this Mantra will break free from the bonds of this miserable world of birth and death, and very quickly attains Goloka Vrndavan. On the full moon-day of Kartik Lord Sri Krishna Himself worships Srimati Tulasi-devi with this Mantra.

One who remembers this Mantra will very quickly attain devotion to Lord Krishna's Transcendental Lotus Feet.

Reason underlying the lady doing

arati of her son and husband on Narak Chaturdashi

        The frequencies associated with dissolution emitted in the environment on Naraka Chaturdashi are absorbed 10 percent more by men compared to women. When the lady does arati of her son and husband on this day, they gain Energy associated with Creation from her. Due to the Energy associated with Creation gained from the woman, the frequencies of dissolution absorbed by the men become inactive. Due to this Energy the frequencies of dissolution absorbed by the men become inactive. Hence, their sojourn towards dissolution is stopped.

Deepavali / Diwali

Muhurta for performing Dhanteras puja- http://www.drikpanchang.com/festivals/dhanteras/festivals-dhanteras-puja-timings.html (for Atlanta,Georgia. Please enter your city and state to know about the timings of muhurta)

The word Deepavali is derived from the confluence of ‘deep’ and ‘avali’. ‘Deep’ means a lamp. ‘Avali’ means a row. Thus, the meaning of Deepavali is ‘a row of lamps’. Among all the festivals, Deepavali holds utmost importance from both the social and religious viewpoints. ‘Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya’, i.e. ‘Go from darkness to light’ is the directive of Upanishads. When Shriram completed the 14-year exile in the forest and returned to Ayodhya, the subjects celebrated Deepotsav. Deepavali commenced since then.

                              Long before the arrival of Deepavali, people start cleaning their houses. They get the houses painted. This not only increases the life of the premise but its attractiveness too. Along with cleanliness, all the family members buy new clothes. Various types of sweets are prepared. It is believed that Shri Lakshmi is pleased when Deepavali is celebrated after the house is cleaned, purified and decorated in all respects and She then lives there on a permanent basis.

                                                                            Rangoli

There are two objectives of rangolis – expression of beauty and acquisition of auspiciousness. Every day such rangolis should be drawn as would attract the Principles of Deities and through them we should acquire the benefit of the Deities Principles.

                                   During Deepavali oil lamps are lit every evening in front of Deities, the Tulasi plant and other places like the main door and courtyard. Nowadays candles or electric lamps are lit; but according to Scriptures it is appropriate and beneficial to light oil lamps. The oil lamp attracts satvik frequencies. As against this, a candle emits raja-tama particles, whereas the electric lamp makes our attitude extrovert.

What is importance of 'offering a sari' for the Goddess?

 

1. What is the importance of performing  ('Oti bharane') in Goddess worship ?

 

Invariably offering Her a sari and a blouse-piece concludes the ritualistic worship of a Goddess. Offering this to a Goddess is akin to praying to Her attributeless form to work for one's spiritual progress and welfare through the medium of 'with attribute' form. Panch-opachar puja (worship by 5 characteristic sub-rituals) in any ritualistic worship is related to the attributeless form of God. The prayer to the Goddess to become functional, with the offering of a sari and a blouse piece helps the attributeless form of the Goddess to manifest in 'with attribute' form in the sari and the blouse-piece.

 

Navaratri

Navaratri means nine days  where goddess Durga is worshipped in different forms.

History of Navratri

• This vrat was advocated by Sage Narad to ShriRam, so that He could kill Ravan. After completion of this vrat, ShriRam attacked Lanka and finally killed Ravan.
• The Goddess fought with the demon Mahishasur for nine days from Pratipada to Navami and finally killed him on the Navami night. Since then, She came to be known as Mahishasurmardini, the annihilator of Mahishasur.

Importance

• Whenever the tamasik, demonical and cruel people become powerful and start troubling the sattvik, righteous humans, the Goddess incarnates to reinstate Righteousness. This is the vrat of this Deity.
• During Navaratra, the Goddess Principle is a thousand times more active than usual.

                                                    

Significance of worshipping Shakti 

The word asur is derived from ‘असुषु रमन्ते इति असुर: |’, meaning ‘the one who remains engrossed only in enjoying life and in the indulgence of pleasure of the objects is an asur (demon)’. Such a Mahishasur is present in each human heart. And he has taken control over internal Divine qualities of the human being. It is necessary to perform puja of Shakti to become free from the trap of Mahishasur, by realising the illusory form of this Mahishasur. Therefore, Shakti should be worshipped in the nine days of Navratra. This victory is celebrated on the day of Dashami and is called Dussehra.

Shailaputri literally means the daughter (putri) of the mountains (shaila). Variously known as Sati Bhavani, Parvati or Hemavati, the daughter of Himavana - the King of the Himalayas, she is the first among Navadurgas. Her worship takes place on the first day of Navaratri – the nine divine nights. The embodiment of the power of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, she rides a bull and carries a trident and a lotus in her two hands.
