Hari Aum!
Prostrations at the Holy feet of Guru Maa!
I am truly blessed to get initiated into ‘Mantra Saadhna’ by Her Holiness Maa Purnananda ji on the auspicious day of ‘Maha Shivraatri’. Now I should take continuous efforts to learn, imbibe, implement, introspect and contemplate on the teachings of the Scriptures under the grace, shelter and guidance of our Guru Maa.
In this holy month of Chaitra Navraatri, we had an opportunity to listen to Maa ji’s online Call-Talk. Maa ji explained in detail how we need to harness our mind and harmonize our living.
We can harness our mind by giving the reigns of our five senses in the hands of the Divine. Saadhna has to be done to defeat the lower instincts within us and to refrain from adverse impact of Maya. So during the nine holy days of “Navraatri“, we should observe vrat, upwaas and during the nights, worship Yog Maya - Mother Goddesses. During worship we offer all our feelings, thoughts & deeds at the Holy Feet of Devi Maa Durga, Devi Maa Lakshmi and Devi Maa Saraswati. We seek for blessings from Mother Goddesses so that the vrat and upwaas will bear the right fruit of annihilation of the evil in us. Every dawn we need to meditate upon the Mantra from ‘Sree Durga Saptashati’.
“Roopam Dehi Jayam Dehi Yasho Dehi Dwisho Jahi “
Roopam Dehi — To bless us with beauty of inner character reflected physically.
Jayam Dehi — To bless us with victory upon our own lower tendencies.
Yasho Dehi —To bless us with the glory of the Divine and not the ego.
Dwisho Jahi — Bless us with the power to destroy the negativity which we carry in our Antahkaran.
Now on the ninth day of Sree Ram Navami, we harmonize ourselves integrating from within so that externally when we interact with the world there is harmony and beauty in our deeds & speech. Maa ji says for harmonizing, we need to cultivate and cherish virtues by the grace of Sree Maryada Purushottam Ram. To contemplate on the virtues of Sree Ram we must chant this Mantra from ‘Sree Ram Raksha Stotram’.
आपदामपहर्तारं दातारं सर्वसंपदाम् ।
लोकाभिरामं श्रीरामं भूयो भूयो नमाम्यहम् ।।
“I bow down again and again to Sree Ram who has taken human form for the upliftment of goodness in the world. Lord Ram will take away troubles inflicted internally because of my own inherent tendencies and externally due to so many factors. He will bestow me with the wealth of health and Knowledge, thus giving complete restfulness to my mind.”
This way we can harness our mind and harmonize our lives.
Everyone stay safe and healthy.
Hari Aum!
