Tulsi Vivah Story And Pooja Vidhi

Tulsi Vivah is the ceremonial marriage of the Tulsi (holy basil) plant to the Hindu god Shaligram or Vishnu or to his avatar, Sri Krishna. The Tulsi wedding signifies the end of the monsoon and the beginning of the wedding season in Hinduism.

The ceremonial festival is performed anytime between Prabodhini Ekadashi and Karthik Poornima (the full moon of the month).

Story: Tulsi is venerated as a goddess in Hinduism and is sometimes considered as a wife of Vishnu,“Vishnupriya”, “the beloved of Vishnu”.

According to the Hindu scripture’s, the Tulsi plant was a woman named “Vrinda". She was married to the Asura king Jalandhar, who due to her devotion to Vishnu, became invincible. Even Shiva could not defeat Jalandhar, so he requested Vishnu - the preserver in the Trinity - to find a solution. Vishnu disguised himself as Jalandhar and tricked Vrinda.

Her chastity destroyed, Jalandhar lost his power and was killed by Shiva. Vrinda cursed Vishnu to become black in colour and to be separated from his wife, Lakshmi. This was later fulfilled when he was transformed into the black Shaligram stone, and in his Rama avatar, was separated from his wife Sita, who was kidnapped by the asura king Ravana. Vrinda then drowned herself in the ocean, and the gods transferred her soul to a plant, which was henceforth called Tulsi.

As per a blessing by Vishnu to marry Vrinda in her next birth, Vishnu – in form of Shaligram - married Tulsi on Prabodhini Ekadashi. To commemorate this event, the ceremony of Tulsi Vivah is performed.

Another Story narrates that Lakshmi slew a demon on this day and remained on earth as the Tulsi plant.

How to worship Srimati Tulasi Devi

Tulasi-puja is relatively simple, consisting of only three articles: incense, a ghee lamp, and flowers.

Before the arati, offer obeisances to Tulasi Devi while chanting the Sri Tulasi pranama 3 times.

While one devotee offers the puja articles, another may sing the Sri Tulasi kirtana.

Achaman (purification)

Take the spoon from the achaman cup and purify both hands by sprinkling water onto them. This is the process:

Sprinkle a spoon full into your right palm, chant om keshavaya namah, and sip.
Sprinkle a spoon full into your right palm, chant om narayanaya namah, and sip.
Sprinkle a spoon full into your right palm, chant om madhavaya namah, and sip.

Offering incense

Purify (sprinkle with a spoon full of water) the bell and the incense holder.
Light the incense.
Pick up the bell in the left hand; ring the bell throughout the puja.
Pick up the incense holder in the right hand and offer the incense to Tulasi with seven circles around her whole form.

Offering the ghee lamp

Purify the ghee lamp (sprinkle with a spoon full of water) and then light it.
Offer it to Tulasi with four circles around the base, two around the middle, three around the top, and seven around her whole form.

Offering flowers

Purify the flowers (sprinkle with a spoon full of water).
Offer them to Tulasi with seven circles around her whole form.
Place one at Tulsi base (optional).


While chanting the Sri Tulasi pradakshina mantra, devotees may then circumambulate Tulasi Devi at least four times.

Mantra

yani kani ca papani
brahma-hatyadikani ca
tani tani pranasyanti
pradakshinah pade pade

You can now serve the Tulsi by purifying your hands before you  water Tulasi Devi. Sprinkle a little water from the achaman cup onto the your right hand and water Tulasi Devi's roots with water from another cup. Please note that water is only offered in the morning, not evening.

You may end the puja by once again offering obeisances while chanting the Sri Tulasi pranama.
Planting, watering, protecting, caring for, circumambulating, seeing, bowing down to, praying to, and glorifying are all ways of serving and worshipping Srimati Tulasi Devi.

nehabhikrama-naso ’sti
pratyavayo na vidyate
sv-alpam apy asya dharmasya
trayate mahato bhayat

na—there is not; iha—in this world; abhikrama—endeavoring; nasah—loss; asti—there is; pratyavayah—diminution; na—never; vidyate—there is; svalpam—little; api—although; asya—of this; dharmasya—of this occupation; trayate—releases; mahatah—of very great; bhayat—from danger.

In this endeavor there is no loss or diminution, and a little advancement on this path can protect one from the most dangerous type of fear.

Dussehra - Ramayana Story

Dussehra, also called Vijayadashmi,is the nine-day Navaratri celebrations. It is a festival that marks the killing of Ravana, his son Meghanatha and brother Kumbhakarna, by Rama. It is seen as the victory of good over evil

Ramayana Story:

The epic Ramayana describes the story of Rama. Rama was the prince of the kingdom of Ayodhya. While in exile, he lived in the forest with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana. One day Sita was abducted by Ravana, the demon king of Lanka. Rama, assisted by an army of monkeys and Lakshmana, attacked Lanka to rescue her.

A fierce battle ensued between the two armies for many days. Rama found it very difficult to beat the mighty Ravana. So he prayed for nine days to nine different aspects of goddess Durga and accumulated enough strength to defeat Ravana.

Dussehra celebrates Rama’s victory over Ravana in a festival spread out over ten days. The story of Rama’s life is enacted in a folk art form called Ramlila.

Why Sindhoor Is Applied To Lord Hanuman - Ramayana Story

Lord Hanuman always wanted to serve his Prabhu Lord Sri Rama. One day when Sita Matha was entering into Rama’s bedroom, Hanumanji also followed her. Then Lord Rama said that he cannot enter into the room. Hanuman said that when Sita Matha can enter into the room, why can’t he enter the room.He is having such an innocent devotional service towards Lord Rama. Just to convince Hanuman
 
Rama said that Sita is having a sindhur on her forehead, so she can enter the room. After hearing that, Hanuman came out and thought for a while. Then Hanuman concluded that sindhur is the qualification required to enter into Lord Rama’s bedroom. So he decided to ask more about this sindhur to Sita Matha. Next day when Sita was in the dressing table, she was trying to keep sindhur, there came Hanuman. Sita Matha treated Hanuman as her son because Sita and Rama did not have children for a long time. Then Hanuman asked Sita about the purpose and value of sindhur. She understood what he wanted and smiled. She said that she learnt from elders that if she keeps sindhur, it will elongate the life span of his prabhu. Sita matha did not mention her prabhu but she said Hanumanji’s prabhu. She very well know Hanumanji’s pure love towards Rama. Hanuman now understood the secret of this sindhur.He immediately went to the market in search of sindhur and found one shop. He ran there and asked. The shopkeeper gave him little sindhur in a small box.

Hanuman said that it is not enough. He just went into the shop, opened all the sacks of sindhur and poured all over his body. He poured some sindhur on the street and rolled over to cover his whole body, from head to toe with sindhur. Then he came to the palace. Rama saw Hanuman and enquired what happened.

On seeing Hanuman, Sita matha started laughing loudly. She understood and told Rama that the previous day she told Hanuman that the sindhur will increase the lifespan of his prabhu.

Hanuman thought if a small amount of sindhur on Sita matha’s forehead can increase the lifespan of Rama, then how much it will increase if he puts all over his body. He thought that Rama can live eternally because of this sindhur applied throughout his body. This is the pure love Hanuman had for Rama.

Moral of the story:

Hanuman knows that Lord Rama is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But still due to his unlimited love towards Rama, he thought that the sindhur kept throughout his body only will increase Rama’s lifespan.

Mahagauri Eigth Avatar Of Durga Story And Mantras

Mahagauri is the eighth manifestation of goddess Durga and amongst the Navadurgas. Mahagauri is worshipped on the eighth day of Navratri. According to Hindu mythology, Goddess Mahagauri has the power to fulfill all the desires of her devotees. The one who worships the goddess gets relief from all the sufferings in life.Mahagauri has four arms. Her right arm is in the pose of allaying fear and right lower hand holds a trident in it. She holds a tambourine in her left upper arm and the lower one is in the form of a blessing.

Stories:

The demons Shumbha and Nishumbha could only be killed by a female child of Parvati. Hence, as advised by Brahma, Shiva used his magic to turn Parvati's skin black, giving Parvati the epithet "Kali", meaning "black". However, the word "Kali" can also mean "death", so Parvati was teased. Parvati was agitated by this teasing, so she performed severe penance to Brahma so as to get her fair complexion back. She succeeded in her penance and was advised by Brahma to take a bath in the Mansarovar River in Himalaya. As she took a bath, her dark skin separated from her and took the form of a female. She was called Kaushiki, being born from the skin of Parvati. As a result of the separation of her black skin, Parvati got her white fair complexion back, and so she gained the epithet "Mahagauri". Still, for the task of demons' assassination, she gave her fair complexion to Kaushiki and she (Parvati) again attained the form of Kali. Goddesses Saraswati and Lakshmi provided their powers to Kali as a result of which Kali transformed into Chandi (Chandraghanta).

Another Story is that Goddess Parvati made up her mind to perform an austere penance as advised by Sage Narad so that she might be get Lord Shiva as her husband. So, she renounced all the comforts of the palace and started performing penance in the forest. Her severe penance continued for many years. She braved heat and cold, rains and drought and terrible storms. Her body was covered with dust, earth, soil and leaves of trees. She had developed a blackish skin over her body. At last, Lord Shiva appeared before her and gave his solemn word that he would marry her. He bathed her vigorously by the holy waters of the Ganga emanating from his matted hair. The holy and sacred waters of Ganga washed off all the dirt clinging to Parvati’s person and she became white-complexioned and glorious. Thus by virtue of having acquired a white complexion, Parvati came to be known as Mahagauri (Extremely Fair).

Goddess Kalaratri - Shubankari Seventh Form Of Durga

Kaalratri (sometimes spelled Kalaratri) is the seventh form amongst the Navadurga. Kaalratri is also known as Shubankari (शुभंकरी) - meaning auspicious/doing good in Sanskrit, due to the belief that she always provides auspicious results to her devotees. Hence, it is believed that she makes her devotees fearless.

Stories:

Once there were two demons named Shumbha and Nishumbha, who invaded devaloka and defeated the demigods. Indra the ruler of the gods, along with the demigods went to the Himalayas to get Lord Shiva's help in retrieving their abode. Together, they prayed to Goddess Parvati (Durga). Parvati heard their prayer while she was bathing, so she created another goddess Chandi (Ambika) to assist the gods by vanquishing the demons. Chanda and Munda were two demon generals sent by Shumbha and Nishumbha. When they came to battle her, Goddess Chandi created a dark goddess, Kali (in some accounts, called Kaalratri). Kali/Kaalratri killed them, thereby acquiring the name Chamunda.

Thereupon, a demon named Raktabija arrived. Raktabija had the boon that if any drop of blood of his fell onto the ground, a clone of him would be created. When Kaalratri attacked on him, his spilt blood gave rise to several clones of him. As such, it became impossible to defeat him. So while battling, Kaalratri furious at this, drank his blood to prevent it from falling down, eventually killing Raktabija and helping goddess Chandi to kill his commanders Shumbha and Nishumbha.

Another legend says that Goddess Chamunda (Kali) was creator of Devi Kaalratri. Riding a powerful donkey, Kalraatri chased the demons Chanda and Munda and brought them to Kali after catching and incarcerating them. Then these demons were killed by goddess Chamunda.

Yet another legend recounts that, there was a demon named Durgasur who tried to attack Kailash, the abode of Parvati (Durga) in the absence of Shiva. Parvati got to know about this and created Kaalratri, instructing her to warn Durgasur against an attack. Durgasur's guards however tried to capture Kaalratri when she turned up as a messenger. Kaalratri then assumed a gigantic form and delivered the warning to him. Subsequently, when Durgasur came to invade Kailash, Parvati battled him and killed him gaining the name Durga. Here Kaalratri serves as an agent who gives the message and warning from Parvati to Durgasur.

The complexion of Kalaratri is that of the darkest of nights with bountiful hair and a heavenly shaped form. She has four hands - the left two hands hold a scimitar and a thunderbolt and the right two are in the varada (blessing) and abhaya (protecting) mudras. She wears a necklace that shines like the moon. Kaalratri has three eyes which emanate rays like lightning. Flames appear through her nostrils when she inhales or exhales. Her mount is the donkey, sometimes considered as a corpse. Blue, red and white colours should be used to wear on this day.

Katyayani Maa - Story And Mantras

Katyayani is the sixth form amongst Navadurga or the nine forms of Hindu goddess Parvati (Shakti), worshipped during the Navratri celebrations.This is the second name given for Parvati in amarakosha. In Shaktism she is associated with the fierce forms of Shakti or Durga, a Warrior goddess, which also includes Bhadrakali and Chandika.

Colour: Red

Story: When the gods had sought Vishnu in their distress, he and at his command Shiva, Brahma and the other gods, emitted such flames from their eyes and countenances that a mountain of effulgence was formed, from which became manifest Katyayini, refulgent as a thousand suns, having three eyes, black hair and eighteen arms. Shiva gave her his trident, Vishnu a Sudarshan Chakra or discus, Varuna a shankha, a conch-shell, Agni a dart, Vayu a bow, Surya a quiver full of arrows, Indra a thunderbolt, Kuvera a mace, Brahma a rosary and water-pot, Kala a shield and sword, Visvakarma a battle-axe and other weapons. Thus armed and adored by the gods, Katyayani proceeded to the Mysore hills. There, the asuras saw her and captivated by her beauty they so described her to Mahishasura, their king, that he was anxious to obtain her. On asking for her hand, she told him she must be won in fight. He came and fought; at length Durga dismounted from her lion, and sprang upon the back of Mahisha, who was in the form of a buffalo and with her tender feet so smote him on the head that he fell to the ground senseless, when she cut off his head with her sword and hence was called Mahishasuramardini, the Slayer of Mahishasura.

Some other legends is that she was born a daughter of Katyayana Rishi, born in the Katya lineage originating from Vishwamitra, thus called Katyayani, "daughter of Katyayana". Elsewhere in texts like Kalika Purana, it is mentioned that it was Rishi Kaytyayana who first worshipped her, hence she came to known as Katyayani.

Benefits:  Katyayani mantra is an effective mantra for those people whose marriage is delayed due to various reasons. The Katyayani Mantra for marriage has originated from the Bhagavata Purana. 'Gopis' worshipped Maa Katyayani in order to get Lord Krishna as a husband. Girls worship Devi Katyayani for early marriage and removal of any hurdles in love marriage. Katyayani Mantra is very effective in removing all obstacles such as Manglik Dosha or negative influences of planets in a girl's horoscope. Katyayani Mantra is primarily used to remove obstacles in love and for a fruitful married life.
