12-21 February
The Indian spiritual texts have given a special place to Goddess Shakti and have even mentioned that without Her presence, Lord Shiva is just like a corpse. Bhagwatpad Shankracharya has mentioned in his work, Saundarya Lahri, that if Lord Shiva is not supported by Goddess Shakti, He will not even be able to do any movement. Shakti is the spirit of Lord Shiva and similar to the way a dead person can’t move, Lord Shiva will become stagnant.
Each and every atom of this universe is energized with the essence of Goddess Shakti. Generally, there is no special time for which a person should wait to appease the Mother Goddess, as the person is just like a small child who doesn’t wait and calls up on the mother whenever he or she is in pain. Similar to the mother who doesn’t bother about any time and quickly comes to rescue her child, the mother Goddess too always remain to safeguard Her children. However, there are certain auspicious times during which it is easier to appease the mother Goddess and one such time is Gupt-NavRatris. Goddess Bhagwati Herself said about Gupt NavRatri –
GuptaKaal MahaPuja Kriyate Ta Cha Varshiki,Tasyaam MaMaitanmaahaatmyam Shrutvaam Bhakti Samnvith.
Sarvaa Badha VinirMukto Dhan Dhaanya SutaanvitahManushyo Matprasaadane Bhavishyaati Na Shanshayah.
The above hymn means – I bestow wealth, son, prosperity, fame etc. on the sadhak who worships me during the Gupt NavRatris and removes all the hurdles from their lives.
When the Mother Goddess is Herself wishing to fulfil all the desires of the sadhak, then all that remains at the sadhak’s end is to just follow the correct procedure to obtain Her blessings during these days. She is the one who provides all the worldly pleasures to the Gods. Great sadhaks and sages have appeased Her and were able to witness the ParBrahma by Her grace. Even Lord Ram performed Shakti Tatva sadhana of Mother Goddess to win over Ravana.
Goddess Jagadamba has the same divine form as that of a mother. She is not just a Goddess, She is not just a mother but has several forms. When the Gods found it difficult to protect themselves from the demons, a divine power emerged from the body of all the Gods and took the form of Goddess Jadamba. She is the one with eight hands decorated with various weapons, has a divine aura, who sits on a lion, one who can defeat any enemy and the one who safeguards the Gods. The Gods were left mesmerized looking at this divine form and Her war cry brought fear in the hearts of the demon. The Gods also realized that the Goddess is motherly and has the powers of Goddess Kali, Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Saraswati.
She is the omnipresent and can provide any boon to Her devotees. She is the one who can remove all the problems and troubles from our life. She is incomparable to anyone and is the epitome of greatness. She possess the powers to both destroy as well as nurture. On one hand She can kill the demons and on the other hand She takes care of Her devotees and sadhaks just like a loving mother.
Markandeya was a great sage and has captured various salient details related to Goddess Jagadamba in Markandeya Puran. He mentioned that Goddess Jadamba is the form of Lord Shiva because Shiva can exists only where there is Shakti. They can’t be analyzed separately as they exists in an amalgamated form. A coward person can’t attain greatness as he can’t do anything significant in life. To create something worthy, one needs to be powerful, one needs to be creative, one needs to be an accomplisher and all this is possible only by the grace of Lord Shiva and Goddess Shakti. As Goddess Jadamba is a provider of knowledge, power, wisdom, etc., She is considered to be the divine form of Shiva-Shakti.
It is a great fortune to perform such sadhanas in life even for the great sages and ascetics. It is also a fact that during Kalyuga, Goddess Jagadamba and Lord Ganpati are two quickly appeasing Goddess and God. Presented below are few sadhanas related to Goddess Shakti which should be performed during this auspicious time to gain the blessings of the divine mother.
