Shiva and Shakti Talon Abraxas Shiva and Shakti - The Divine Union of Consciousness and Energy
Shiva Shakti Story
The legend of the marriage of Shiva and Shakti is one the most important legends related to the festival of Mahashivaratri. The story tells us how Lord Shiva got married for the second time to Shakti, his divine consort. According to legend of Shiva and Shakti, the day Lord Shiva got married to Parvati is celebrated as Shivaratri – the Night of Lord Shiva.
The Legend goes that once Lord Shiva and his wife Sati or Shakti were returning from sage Agastya’s ashram after listening to Ram Katha or story of Ram. On their way through a forest, Shiva saw Lord Rama searching for his wife Sita who had been kidnapped by Ravana, the King of Lanka. Lord Shiva bowed his head in reverence to Lord Rama. Sati was surprised by Lord Shiva’s behavior and inquired why he was paying obeisance to a mere mortal. Shiva informed Sati that Rama was an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Sati, however, was not satisfied with the reply and Lord asked her to go and verify the truth for herself.
Using her power to change forms, Sati took the form of Sita appeared before Rama. Lord Rama immediately recognized the true identity of the Goddess and asked, “Devi, why are you alone, where′s Shiva?” At this, Sati realized the truth about Lord Ram. But, Sita was like a mother to Lord Shiva and since Sati took the form of Sita her status had changed. From that time, Shiva detached himself from her as a wife. Sati was sad with the change of attitude of Lord Shiva but she stayed on at Mount Kailash, the abode of Lord Shiva.
Later, Sati’s father Daksha organised a yagna, but did not invite Sati or Shiva as he had an altercation with Shiva in the court of Brahma. But, Sati who wanted to attend the Yagna, went there even though Lord Shiva did not appreciate the idea. To her great anguish, Daksha ignored her presence and did not even offer Prasad for Shiva. Sati felt humiliated and was struck with profound grief. She jumped into the yagna fire and immolated herself.
Lord Shiva became extremely furious when he heard the news of Sati’s immolation. Carrying the body of Sati, Shiva began to perform Rudra Tandava or the dance of destruction and wiped out the kingdom of Daksha. Everybody was terrified as Shiva’s Tandava had the power to destroy the entire universe. In order to calm Lord Shiva, Vishnu severed Sati′s body into 12 pieces and threw them on earth. It is said that wherever the pieces of Shakti’s body fell, there emerged a Shakti Peetha, including the Kamaroopa Kamakhya in Assam and the Vindhyavasini in UP.
Lord Shiva who was now alone, undertook rigorous penance and retired to the Himalayas. Shakti took a re-birth as Parvati in the family of God Himalaya. She performed penance to break Shiva’s meditation and win his attention. It is said that Goddess Parvati found it hard to break Shiva’s meditation but through her devotion and the persuasion by sages and devas, Parvati, also known as Uma, was finally able to lure Shiva into marriage and away from asceticism. Their marriage was solemnized a day before Amavasya in the month of Phalgun. This day of union of God Shiva and Shakti is celebrated as Mahashivratri every year.
There is no Shiva without Shakti and yoga is a realization of the unity of all things. That is not to say that everything in tantrik texts is figurative; many describe practices which are said to bring about this realization.

Matangi (मातंगी) is one of the Mahavidyas, ten Tantric goddesses and a ferocious aspect of Parvati, the Hindu Divine Mother.
She is considered to be the Tantric form of Saraswati. Like Saraswati, Matangi and she governs speech, music, knowledge and the arts. Her worship is prescribed to acquire supernatural powers, especially gaining control over enemies, attracting people to oneself, acquiring mastery over the arts and gaining supreme knowledge.
+
Goddess Matangi is the embodiment of thought. As Divine Speech, She is the Goddess of the spoken word as well as outward articulation of inner knowledge, including all forms of art, music and dance. Matangi relates to Saraswati, the Goddess of wisdom and knowledge.
She is the form of Saraswati directed towards inner knowledge.
She represents the teachings of the guru, and the continuity of spiritual instruction in the world. By honouring her, we also honour the guru. Those seeking to teach others should seek the grace of Matangi.
She is the cosmic power that makes a householder’s life comfortable by granting the principle objects of a householder – dharma, artha, kama and moksha.
She is the goddess of beauty, marriage, happy life and material gains. The devotees of Matangi is known to be blessed with Her grace of proficiency in poetry, music, dancing and the fine-arts in their chosen field.
Goddess Matangi is associated with the full moon, the ‘night of intoxication.’
The Mahavidyas represent some or other manifestation of the Divine Mother. They are in this sense also to be regarded as Vidyas or different approaches to tantric knowledge. Matangi resides in the Throat Chakra and radiant like the moon. This is the centre of speech. She is the manifest form of song, and the vibratory sound, Nada, that flows in the subtle channels, ‘nadis’, down through our entire body and mind. There is a special ‘nadi’ or channel that runs from the Third Eye to the tip of the tongue, which relates to Her. This is the stream of inspiration from the mind to its expression via speech. Matangi represents the flow of Bliss through this channel, which is experienced by the creators of great literary, poetic and other artistic work, resulting in brilliant expressions of creativity. Om Hrim Klim Hum Matangyai Phat Svaha. Hari Om
--by Yogi Ananda Saraswati
'Surrender yourself to the Great Goddess. You will see that everything is already perfect.' --Matangi Dasi Aghori Dashakshar Matangi Mantra (10 Syllables Mantra) ॐ ह्रीं क्लीं हूं मातंग्यै फट् स्वाहा ॥ Om Hreem Kleem Hum Matangyai Phat Svaha॥

Who is Lalita Mata, how did she originate?

It is told in Brahmanda Purana that taking the name of Lord Shiva once gives the same result as taking the name of Maha Vishnu a thousand times. Similarly, taking the name of Mother Lalita once gives results equal to taking 1000 names of Lord Shiva. Let us know what we will know in today's article:-
1. Who is Lalita Mata?
2. How did Lalita Mata originate?
3. Mantra of Lalita Mata and 10 Mahavidyas
4. Benefits and advantages of reciting Lalita Chalisa
1. Who is Lalita Mata?
Lalita is the form of Mother Goddess Sati-Parvati. Lalita Mata is also known as Tripura Sundari, Shodashi and Lalita Tripurasundari. Mata Tripura Sundari is one of the 10 Mahavidyas.
There are three forms of Mother Lalita. Tripura Sundari in the form of an 8 year old girl, Shodashi at the age of 16 and the young form of mother Lalita is known as Tripura Sundari. Mother Lalita Tripura Sundari is expert in 16 arts, that is why she is also called Shodashi. Lalita Mata's birth anniversary is celebrated every year on the full moon date of Magh month. During Navratri, Lalita Panchami fast is observed along with Skandamata on the fifth day of Navratri. It is also called Upang Lalita Vrat. According to the Puranas, Lalita Mata has two arms. This mother is of fair complexion and is seated on a bloody lotus. According to the Dakshinamargi scriptures, Goddess Lalita has the place of 'Chandi'. Their method of worship is similar to that of Goddess Chandi. The meditative form of Goddess Lalita is very bright and luminous. Lalita Mata can be worshiped anytime but worshiping her on Lalita Jayanti or Lalita Panchami has special significance. On the day of Lalita Jayanti, there is a crowd of devotees of Mother Goddess in the temples. Skandamata and Lord Shiva are also worshiped on this day.
By worshiping Goddess Lalita, devotees attain happiness, prosperity and salvation. People become free from the bondage of life and death.
Lalita Mata's name comes third among the 10 Mahavidyas. The fast of Lalita Panchami is considered very auspicious and auspicious. It is believed that the person who worships Lalita Devi with true heart and full devotion gets the special blessings of Lalita Mata. Regarding this fast, Lord Shri Krishna has said that this fast is going to give happiness and wealth. Those who are childless get the happiness of having children. This fast is observed to pray for the happiness and long life of the child. Next we will know the mantra of Lalita Mata and which are the 10 Mahavidyas. But before that let us know the origin story of Lalita Mata.
2. How did Lalita Mata originate?
In the Puranas we find two stories about the origin of Lalita Mata. According to the story of Devi Purana, the story of origin of Lalita Mata is related to the sacrifice (death) of Mother Sati. Who is Goddess Sati? Let us know how the story of mother Lalita's origin is connected with her death.
Sati Ji, the incarnation of Mother Adishakti, is the daughter of Maharaj Daksh. When Sati saw Lord Shiva, she became fascinated by him and decided to marry him. Despite Maharaj Daksh not wanting, he married Sati to Lord Shiva.
Although Maharaj Daksh married Sati to Lord Shiva but he was not satisfied with that marriage. Mother Sati married as per her wish. Daksh did not like anything about Shivaji's behavior or attire.
Brahma Ji gave Maharaj Daksh the post of guardian of the people i.e. Prajapati. After getting the post of Prajapati, Maharaj Daksh became more arrogant. Often the attainment of great authority leads to arrogance in the mind. Who is like this in the world? One who is not intoxicated by attaining dominance. Once Brahma ji organized a religious assembly to formulate the religion. Great sages and gods were present in this religious gathering. Lord Shiva was also present in that meeting.
When Daksh Prajapati arrived there, all the sages, sages and gods stood up to welcome him. Only Brahma ji and Lord Shankar remained sitting at their places. Brahma ji is the mental father of Daksh Prajapati. Daksh bowed to Lord Brahma. Daksh Prajapati did not like Shankar ji sitting because Brahma ji was his father, hence he felt it was right for him not to stand, but Shiv ji was his son-in-law, so his not standing and not greeting him felt like an insult to Daksh. Prajapati Daksh was especially pained by the fact that his son-in-law Shankar ji did not salute him. Distressed by this, Maharaja Daksh strongly condemned Shankar ji. Shankar ji was called uncivilized and corrupt. They even cursed him that he would not get any part in any yagya. Even after this, Maharaj Daksh's anger did not subside.
Prajapati Daksh organized a huge yagya with the aim of humiliating Lord Shankar. All the sages, sages, gods and goddesses were invited to that yagya but Shankar ji and Mata Sati were not invited for the yagya. Seeing all the sages, sages and gods leaving in their respective planes, Goddess Sati asks Shankar ji where all these people are going. Then Lord Bholenath Shankar ji tells Devi Sati that your father Maharaj Daksh has organized a huge yagya. All these people are going to participate in that yagya. Goddess Sati said – Lord, I have not gone to my maternal home for a long time, a Yagya is being performed there, so my sisters will also definitely come. If you have permission, then both of us should also go there, even though they have not invited us, but it has been said that permission is not required to go to parents and teachers. Lord Shankar ji said that you are absolutely right that one does not need permission to go to parents and teachers. One can visit parents' and teachers' places even without inviting them. But here the matter is different. If someone believes in opposition then there is no benefit in going there. Maharaj Daksh does not like our coming there, he has deliberately not invited us, hence it would not be entirely appropriate to go there. Therefore, O Goddess, it would be appropriate to give up the idea of going there.
Even after the persuasion of Lord Shiva, Mother Sati started insisting on going to the Yagya. When Mother Sati did not agree, Lord Shankar ji sent her along with his followers Veerbhadra and Nandi. When Sati reached her peak, everyone started ignoring her. Maharaja Daksh did not show him any respect. When the sisters saw her, they started smiling sarcastically and said among themselves that look, Sati has come without invitation. There he met only his mother with love. When Goddess Sati came to the Yagyashala, she saw that all the gods had come there but no one had come there for Lord Shiva. Sati asks her father Maharaj Daksh why such contempt for Lord Shiva? Maharaj Daksh says very good and bad things about Shiva, he says that he does not consider Shiva as a god. He is the master of ghosts and devils. Gonna be naked. The one who applies crematorium ashes to his body and wears a garland of bones is not worthy of sitting in the ranks of the gods. Who will give him away? Hearing the words of Maharaj Daksh, Sati's eyes turned red in anger and she started saying that even if the name of Lord Shiva comes up in the context of conversation unexpectedly, all the sins of the person taking his name are destroyed. Who has the power to destroy the entire creation in a moment. They are my master. You hate Shiva like this. Your end is near, Maharaj.
For a woman, her husband is heaven. A woman who hears derogatory words about her husband has to go to hell. You have hatred towards Lord Shiva. Therefore, I will immediately abandon this body of mine, born from your intercourse, because this body is like a skeleton for me. Saying this, Sati meditated on Lord Shiva and burnt her body in the fire of Yagya Kund. Mother Sati's divine love for her husband is a great role model for women even today. Angered by her father's insult to her husband, Sati jumped into the Yagya Kund and sacrificed her life. It is from here that the story of Sati becoming Shakti begins. Seeing Mata Sati immolating herself in the Yagya Kund, Veerbhadra got angry and cut off Daksh's head and threw it away. When Lord Shiva came to know about this, he became distraught in love for Mother Sati and lost his senses. After this, Lord Shiva became sad and started the Tandava dance by carrying the body of Mother Sati on his head. He started roaming around the world carrying the dead body of Mata Sati on his shoulder. Due to this condition of Lord Shiva, the order of the entire world started deteriorating.
Seeing such a dire situation, Lord Vishnu was forced to cut the body of Mother Sati into pieces with his Sudarshan Chakra. After this, wherever the body parts of Mata Sati fell, Shakti from her body parts began to reside at those places in various forms and Shakti Peethas were formed there. In this way, wherever Sati's body parts and jewelery fell, Shaktipeeths came into existence.
There is mention of 108 Shaktipeeths in Devi Bhagwat, while 72 Shaktipeeths are mentioned in Devi Geeta. Whereas 51 Shaktipeeths have been discussed in Devi Purana. It is said that Mother Sati's heart had fallen in Naimishrai. Goddess Sati left her body with Lord Shankar in her heart. By keeping Lord Shankar in the heart, she is called by the name of Lalita. Therefore Naimish is considered to be a Linga Dharini Shakti Peetha place, here Lord Shiva is worshiped in the form of Linga and there is a temple of Mother Lalita Devi here.

The Timeless Elegance of the South Indian Thali Mangalsutra
The Mangalsutra, a sacred thread of love and commitment, holds a special place in Indian culture. Among its many regional variations, the South Indian Thali Mangalsutra stands out for its unique design, deep symbolism, and cultural significance. Worn by married women as a symbol of their marital status, the Thali Mangalsutra is not just a piece of jewelry but a cherished tradition passed down through generations. Let’s delve into the history, design, and cultural importance of this iconic ornament.
The Origins of the Thali Mangalsutra
The Thali Mangalsutra has its roots in the rich cultural heritage of South India, particularly in the states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. The word "Thali" refers to the pendant worn on a yellow or gold thread, while "Mangalsutra" translates to "auspicious thread." Together, they form a sacred symbol of marriage, believed to bring prosperity and longevity to the union.
Historically, the Thali design varies across communities and regions, reflecting local customs and traditions. For instance, the Tamil Thali often features intricate designs inspired by temple architecture, while the Kerala Thali (also called "Minnu") is simpler, with a small gold pendant. Despite these variations, the essence of the Thali remains the same: a sacred bond between husband and wife.
The Design and Symbolism of the Thali Mangalsutra
The South Indian Thali Mangalsutra is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, blending artistry with deep spiritual meaning. Here’s a closer look at its design and symbolism:
The Pendant (Thali): The centerpiece of the Mangalsutra is the Thali pendant, which is typically made of gold. The design of the pendant varies widely, ranging from floral patterns to depictions of deities like Lakshmi, Ganesha, or the Shiva-Parvati duo. In some communities, the Thali also features symbols like the sun and moon, representing the eternal nature of marriage.
The Thread: The Thali is strung on a yellow or gold thread, symbolizing purity and auspiciousness. In some traditions, the thread is replaced with a gold chain, adding to the ornament’s elegance. The yellow thread is considered sacred and is often tied during the wedding ceremony with Vedic chants and blessings.
Black Beads: Some South Indian Thali designs incorporate black beads, similar to the Maharashtrian Mangalsutra. These beads are believed to ward off evil and protect the couple from negative energies.
Regional Variations:
Tamil Thali: Often features elaborate designs inspired by temple art, with multiple layers and intricate engravings.
Kerala Thali (Minnu): A simple gold pendant, usually round or heart-shaped, symbolizing the union of two souls.
Karnataka Thali: Known for its unique designs, often incorporating religious motifs and gemstones.
Andhra Thali: Typically features a large, circular pendant with detailed carvings.
The Rituals Associated with the Thali Mangalsutra
The Thali Mangalsutra is not just a piece of jewelry; it is an integral part of South Indian wedding rituals. Here’s how it is traditionally tied and worn:
During the Wedding Ceremony: The tying of the Thali is the most sacred moment in a South Indian wedding. The groom ties the Thali around the bride’s neck, often accompanied by the chanting of mantras and the blessings of elders. This ritual symbolizes the couple’s commitment to each other and their journey as life partners.
Post-Wedding Customs: After the wedding, the bride wears the Thali Mangalsutra as a symbol of her marital status. In some communities, the Thali is worn alongside other traditional jewelry, such as bangles, earrings, and nose rings, completing the bridal look.
Daily Wear and Care: The Thali Mangalsutra is worn daily by married women as a reminder of their vows and the sanctity of marriage. It is often paired with traditional sarees, adding to its timeless elegance. To maintain its shine, the Thali is cleaned regularly with a soft cloth and stored carefully when not in use.
The Cultural Significance of the Thali Mangalsutra
The Thali Mangalsutra is more than just an ornament; it is a symbol of love, commitment, and cultural identity. Here’s why it holds such a special place in South Indian culture:
A Symbol of Marital Status: The Thali is a visible marker of a woman’s marital status, much like the wedding ring in Western cultures. It signifies her commitment to her husband and her role as a partner in the journey of life.
A Connection to Tradition: The Thali Mangalsutra is a link to the past, connecting modern women to their ancestors and cultural heritage. It is often passed down from mother to daughter, carrying with it the blessings of previous generations.
A Source of Strength and Protection: The Thali is believed to bring good fortune and protect the couple from harm. Its sacred design and materials are thought to have spiritual significance, making it a source of strength for married women.
Modern Adaptations of the Thali Mangalsutra
While the Thali Mangalsutra remains deeply rooted in tradition, it has also evolved to suit modern tastes. Contemporary designs feature lighter pendants, minimalist patterns, and even fusion styles that blend traditional and modern elements. Some women opt for interchangeable pendants, allowing them to wear the Thali with both traditional and Western outfits.
Despite these changes, the essence of the Thali Mangalsutra remains unchanged. It continues to be a cherished symbol of love and commitment, bridging the gap between tradition and modernity.
Conclusion
The South Indian Thali Mangalsutra is a timeless piece of jewelry that embodies the beauty and depth of Indian culture. Its intricate design, rich symbolism, and cultural significance make it more than just an ornament—it is a sacred thread that binds two souls together in love and commitment. Whether worn as a traditional pendant or a modern design, the Thali Mangalsutra remains a cherished symbol of marital bliss and cultural pride.
For those who wear it, the Thali is not just a piece of gold; it is a reminder of the vows taken, the love shared, and the traditions that bind us to our roots. In a world that is constantly changing, the Thali Mangalsutra stands as a testament to the enduring power of love and tradition.

Shiva and Parvati — Nepal, 13th century.
In Hindu stories and beliefs, there is a special and much-loved couple: Shiva and Parvati. Shiva, often just called Shiva, is a really important god in Hinduism. He stands for things like change, transformation, and deep thinking. Then there's Goddess Parvati, also called Shakti or Devi. She represents love, making things grow, devotion, and the kind of energy that balances Shiva's cosmic job. When they're together, they show how different things can come together in a perfect way, like creation and destruction, and how life works
Shiva (/ˈʃɪvə/; Sanskrit: शिव, lit.��'The Auspicious One'), also known as Mahadeva (/məˈhɑː ˈdeɪvə/; Sanskrit: महादेव:, lit. 'The Great God'), or Hara, is one of the principal deities of Hinduism who together with Brahma and Vishnu forms the trimurti, the Hindu divine trinity. He is called "the Destroyer" (or "the Transformer") and is known as the auspicious, the propitious, the kind, the benign and the benevolent. The name derives from the verbal root śi, which would mean "he who lies in everything" or even śvi, which would imply "auspicious".
Parvati (Sanskrit: Pārvatī, पार्वती) or Mahādevī is the Mother Goddess in Hinduism and nominally the second consort of Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction and renewal (the first is Sáti). However, she is not different from Sáti, being considered the reincarnation of Shiva's former consort. She is the mother of Ganesha and Escanda. Some communities also believe that she is the sister of Vishnu. She is considered as the Divine Shakti - the embodiment of the total energy of the Universe.
The marriage of Shiva and Parvati holds immense significance in Hindu mythology. It represents the ideal of marital bliss, devotion, and partnership. Their union signifies the harmony of opposites, as Shiva's asceticism and Parvati's devotion beautifully coalesce. It also exemplifies the concept of Ardhanarishvara, where Shiva and Parvati are depicted as a single androgynous deity, underscoring the idea of oneness in duality.
In Hindu rituals and prayers, devotees often invoke Shiva and Parvati together, recognizing their relationship's profound love and spiritual depth. Mantras such as the "Om Namah Shivaya" and the "Om Parvati Pataye Namah" celebrate their divine connection, offering blessings for love, harmony, and spiritual evolution

Astrology Tips to Marry the Partner of Your Choice

In this world where love often crosses all boundaries and expectations, many people do dream of marrying someone they really love. The question Will I marry someone I love? resonates so much, especially when people become curious about the role of destiny and astrology in such unions. For decades, astrology has been the guiding light for a person to know about his relationship and the path to his dream partner.
In case you have questions regarding your love life or want clarity in it, check out these great astrology tips on love marriage, which may answer all your queries.
Understand Your Birth Chart for Love Marriage Predictions
One of the best ways to foresee your love life would be through the analysis of the birth chart. Astrologers can give in-depth love marriage prediction by date of birth. Astrologers find out the scope of love marriages, the auspicious time of love marriages, and compatibility, based on a detailed analysis of the fifth, seventh, and eleventh house of your horoscope. In other words, these houses reflect love, partners, and friendships, respectively.
For example, the fifth house is the house of love and attraction.
- Marriage prospects and long-term commitments depend upon the seventh house.
- Also, desires and fulfilment are represented by the eleventh house and indicate if you can marry someone with whom you really want to share your love.
If these houses both favourably align, then the possibility of marrying the spouse of your choice enhances much more.
Reinforce the Planetary Influences
Astrology says there are some planets whose positions are essential in predicting love and marriage: Venus is the planet that breeds love, and Mars is that of passion. If Venus is well placed, then there is all predispositions toward love marriage. Jupiter and Moon are meant to increase the emotional bond and stability.
If the evil planets, like Saturn or Rahu, create an obstruction, then reciting specific mantras, wearing certain gemstones, or doing pujas may help neutralize these energies. You may seek advice from a seasoned astrologer for further guidance.
Astrological Remedies to Overcome Obstacles in Love Marriage
Sometimes, opposition from society or family can stop your love marriage plans. In that case, some effective astrological remedies can create harmony and reduce resistance. Here are a few commonly suggested tips:
- Chanting Mantras: Recite the mantra "Om Laxmi Narayanaya Namah" to improve marital prospects.
- Fasting on Fridays: This can enhance Venus's energy, improving love life.
- Performing Pujas: Seek blessings from Lord Shiva and Parvati, as they symbolize an ideal union.
- Wearing Gemstones: Depending on your chart, gemstones like diamonds or opals can strengthen Venus.
When Will I Get My Dream Partner?
Timing is a critical aspect of love and marriage, and astrology can answer, when will I get my dream partner? By studying the planetary transits and dasha periods (planetary cycles), astrologers can predict the right time for love to blossom in your life. For example, favorable transits of Venus, Jupiter, or the Moon may indicate an upcoming romantic period or marriage.
Strengthen Your Bond through Vastu and Energy Alignment
To create a harmonious relationship, aligning your living space with Vastu principles can also help. Keep your bedroom clean and uncluttered, and use soft pastel colors to enhance love and positivity. Placing symbols like a pair of lovebirds or a picture of Radha-Krishna in the southwest direction can attract love and strengthen your bond.
Final Thoughts
Astrology is the roadmap to the complexities of love and relationships. Whether you wonder, *"Will I marry someone I love? "* or seek love marriage prediction by date of birth, these tips can provide clarity and direction. While astrological remedies pave the way, love and understanding are the cornerstones of any successful marriage. Combine these cosmic insights with real effort, and you'll be well on your way to marrying the partner of your dreams!

Shiva and Shakti - The Divine Union of Consciousness and Energy
Shiva Shakti Story
The legend of the marriage of Shiva and Shakti is one the most important legends related to the festival of Mahashivaratri. The story tells us how Lord Shiva got married for the second time to Shakti, his divine consort. According to legend of Shiva and Shakti, the day Lord Shiva got married to Parvati is celebrated as Shivaratri – the Night of Lord Shiva.
The Legend goes that once Lord Shiva and his wife Sati or Shakti were returning from sage Agastya’s ashram after listening to Ram Katha or story of Ram. On their way through a forest, Shiva saw Lord Rama searching for his wife Sita who had been kidnapped by Ravana, the King of Lanka. Lord Shiva bowed his head in reverence to Lord Rama. Sati was surprised by Lord Shiva’s behavior and inquired why he was paying obeisance to a mere mortal. Shiva informed Sati that Rama was an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Sati, however, was not satisfied with the reply and Lord asked her to go and verify the truth for herself.
Using her power to change forms, Sati took the form of Sita appeared before Rama. Lord Rama immediately recognized the true identity of the Goddess and asked, “Devi, why are you alone, where′s Shiva?” At this, Sati realized the truth about Lord Ram. But, Sita was like a mother to Lord Shiva and since Sati took the form of Sita her status had changed. From that time, Shiva detached himself from her as a wife. Sati was sad with the change of attitude of Lord Shiva but she stayed on at Mount Kailash, the abode of Lord Shiva.
Later, Sati’s father Daksha organised a yagna, but did not invite Sati or Shiva as he had an altercation with Shiva in the court of Brahma. But, Sati who wanted to attend the Yagna, went there even though Lord Shiva did not appreciate the idea. To her great anguish, Daksha ignored her presence and did not even offer Prasad for Shiva. Sati felt humiliated and was struck with profound grief. She jumped into the yagna fire and immolated herself.
Lord Shiva became extremely furious when he heard the news of Sati’s immolation. Carrying the body of Sati, Shiva began to perform Rudra Tandava or the dance of destruction and wiped out the kingdom of Daksha. Everybody was terrified as Shiva’s Tandava had the power to destroy the entire universe. In order to calm Lord Shiva, Vishnu severed Sati′s body into 12 pieces and threw them on earth. It is said that wherever the pieces of Shakti’s body fell, there emerged a Shakti Peetha, including the Kamaroopa Kamakhya in Assam and the Vindhyavasini in UP.
Lord Shiva who was now alone, undertook rigorous penance and retired to the Himalayas. Shakti took a re-birth as Parvati in the family of God Himalaya. She performed penance to break Shiva’s meditation and win his attention. It is said that Goddess Parvati found it hard to break Shiva’s meditation but through her devotion and the persuasion by sages and devas, Parvati, also known as Uma, was finally able to lure Shiva into marriage and away from asceticism. Their marriage was solemnized a day before Amavasya in the month of Phalgun. This day of union of God Shiva and Shakti is celebrated as Mahashivratri every year.
There is no Shiva without Shakti and yoga is a realization of the unity of all things. That is not to say that everything in tantrik texts is figurative; many describe practices which are said to bring about this realization.

Therefore, Shakti is the dynamic power of Siva through which he manifests the worlds and their myriad objects and beings. He brings forth the worlds and their beings through his will and his dynamic energy, Shakti.

Beautiful Vocabulary for Maha Shivratri

Maha Shivratri and its significance

Maha Shivratri, the "Great Night of Shiva," is a Hindu festival that transcends the ordinary. It's a night of devotion, marked by elaborate rituals, chants, and prayers. But amidst the fervor, a symphony of words and a beautiful vocabulary elevates the experience. Let's delve into this verbal tapestry and discover the essence of Maha Shivratri.
The All-Encompassing "Om": The very foundation is laid with the sacred syllable "Om." This primordial sound, echoing through time immemorial, represents the ultimate reality, the essence of Shiva himself. It's a mantra that transcends language, a doorway to the divine.
Auspicious Epithets: Shiva, the multifaceted deity, is known by a multitude of names, each capturing a unique aspect of his being. "Mahadeva" signifies the greatest god, "Parameshwara" the supreme lord, and "Vishwanatha" the ruler of the universe. These epithets paint a majestic picture of Shiva's omnipresence and power.
The Rhythmic Chants: The rhythmic chants of "Om Namah Shivaya" reverberate throughout the night. This mantra, a salutation to Shiva, becomes a collective meditation that unites devotees in their devotion. The chanting infuses the atmosphere with a sense of serenity and piety.
The Language of Rituals: The puja rituals associated with Maha Shivratri are imbued with specific terminology. "Abhisheka," the holy bath offered to the Shivalinga, signifies purification and renewal. "Bilva patra," the sacred bael leaves, represent faith and surrender. Each element of the puja finds expression in designated words, creating a sacred vocabulary that guides the devotees through the rituals.
The Symbolic Language of Offerings: Offerings like "bhang" and "datura" hold deep symbolism. Bhang, an intoxicating beverage, represents Shiva's conquest over materialism. Datura, a potentially dangerous flower, signifies Shiva's ability to transform poison into something beneficial. These offerings, along with others like fruits and flowers, speak a language of devotion and surrender.
The Power of Storytelling

· Vivid Imagery: During Maha Shivratri, the rich tapestry of Hindu mythology unfolds through evocative stories. These tales, passed down through generations, come alive with vivid descriptions. Imagine the awe-inspiring power of Shiva's cosmic dance (Tandava), the fierce intensity of his battles, or the serene beauty of his marriage to Parvati. These images evoke emotions, ignite imagination, and create a deeper connection to the stories.
· Profound Metaphors: The narratives associated with Maha Shivratri are woven with profound metaphors. For instance, the churning of the ocean of milk represents the process of creation and destruction, while Shiva's victory over Tripurasura symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. These metaphors offer layers of meaning, prompting us to contemplate the deeper truths they represent.
· Understanding the Festival: By immersing ourselves in these stories, we gain a deeper understanding of the festival's significance. They reveal the core values that Maha Shivratri celebrates, such as the cyclical nature of life, the importance of overcoming negativity, and the enduring power of love and devotion.
The Language of Devotion

· Shraddha (Faith): At the heart of Maha Shivratri lies the unwavering "shraddha" of devotees. This term translates to "faith," signifying the deep belief and trust individuals place in Shiva and their commitment to observing the rituals associated with the festival.
· Bhakti (Devotion): "Bhakti" (devotion) forms the bedrock of the festival's energy. It manifests in the fervent chants, heartfelt prayers, and dedicated offerings made by devotees. This unwavering devotion creates a powerful collective energy that permeates the entire celebration.
· Priya (Love): The night of Maha Shivratri resonates with the essence of "priya" (love). This love goes beyond mere affection; it represents a yearning for connection with the divine, a desire to find solace and guidance in the presence of Shiva.
Beyond the Words

While words form the foundation of our understanding of Maha Shivratri, the true essence lies in the experience itself:
· Introspection: The festival is a catalyst for personal reflection and introspection. The stories, rituals, and chants encourage devotees to turn inwards, contemplate their place in the universe, and seek a deeper understanding of themselves.
· Meditation: The night of Maha Shivratri provides an ideal opportunity for meditation. Through dedicated practices like chanting and focusing on the sacred "Om" syllable, devotees can achieve a state of inner peace and connect with the divine on a deeper level.
· Spiritual Awakening: Maha Shivratri aims to facilitate a spiritual awakening. The combination of rituals, devotion, and introspection guides devotees on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth, leading them closer to the divine essence of Shiva.
Conclusion
Maha Shivratri is a festival that transcends the boundaries of language. It's a celebration of devotion, a night steeped in symbolism and spiritual significance. The beautiful vocabulary associated with the festival serves as a guide, helping us navigate the rituals, understand the mythology, and, ultimately, connect with the divine essence of Shiva. So, as you participate in the festivities, allow the words to wash over you and let them become a bridge to a deeper spiritual experience.

Astrological Cure for Late Marriage

Mangal Dosha (Mars Affliction)
Mars plays a pivotal role in a person’s marital life. The presence of Mangal Dosha in one’s birth chart, due to a malefic Mars, can lead to delays and complications in marriage. To counteract this influence, one can chant the mantra “Aum Mangalaya Namaha.” Additionally, rituals like “Kumbh Vivah” or “Mangal Dosh Nivaran Puja” are recommended.
Saturn’s Sade Sati
The period of Saturn’s Sade Sati can lead to numerous challenges, including delays in marriage. Reciting the mantra “Aum Shan Shanescharaya Namah” can mitigate the adverse effects of Saturn. Wearing a black sapphire (Neelam) can also be beneficial when prescribed by an experienced astrologer.
Dosha Cancellation with Rituals
Specific rituals can help cancel doshas, ensuring smoother marital prospects. Pandit Kapil Sharma Ji advocates performing the “Kumbh Vivah” ritual, where the individual marries a banana tree or a peepal tree before their actual marriage, symbolically nullifying the Mangal Dosha.
Rahu and Ketu Dosh
Rahu and Ketu’s unfavorable positions can create marital challenges. The mantra “Aum Raam Rahave Namaha” can help pacify their influence. Additionally, donating black sesame seeds on Saturdays can be an effective remedy.
What Causes Delay in Marriages?
Unfavorable Planetary Aspects
Unfavorable aspects between planets, such as the seventh house and its lord, can lead to marriage delays. The mantra “Aum Shukraya Namaha” can be chanted to strengthen the influence of Venus, which governs love and relationships.
Kuja Dosha (Mangal Dosha)
Mars, known as Kuja in Vedic astrology, can influence marriage delays due to its fiery nature. The mantra “Aum Angarakaya Namaha” can alleviate its negative impact, but consulting an astrologer for precise remedies is advisable.
Nadi Dosha
Nadi Dosha occurs when the nadi (pulse) of both partners is the same, causing health issues and potential marital delays. Wearing a Gauri Shankar Rudraksha bead and chanting “Aum Parvati Pataye Namaha” can help neutralize this dosha.
Astrological Remedies for Overcoming Delay in Marriages
Consult a Skilled Astrologer
Seeking the guidance of an experienced astrologer, such as Pandit Kapil Sharma Ji, is crucial. They can assess your birth chart, identify doshas, and prescribe personalized remedies.
Mantras and Pujas
Mantras play a significant role in alleviating planetary influences. Regularly chanting mantras like “Aum Shri Ganeshaya Namah” or “Aum Parvati Pataye Namaha” can help you stay spiritually aligned.
Gemstone Therapy
Wearing gemstones that resonate with your birth chart can alleviate planetary afflictions. Consult an astrologer to determine the most suitable gemstone for you.
Rituals and Pujas
Participating in rituals like “Kumbh Vivah” or “Mangal Dosh Nivaran Puja” can cancel doshas and pave the way for a smoother path to marriage.
Conclusion
Delays in marriage can be a source of frustration and anxiety for many. However, with the guidance of astrology and the expert advice of Pandit Kapil Sharma Ji, there are astrological remedies and solutions available to overcome these challenges. Whether it’s addressing planetary influences, doshas, or unfavorable aspects, astrology provides a pathway to a harmonious and timely marriage. Remember that individual situations may vary, and consulting an astrologer for personalized guidance is essential to finding the most effective remedy for your specific circumstances.
Pandit Kapil Sharma Ji is a distinguished astrologer, gemstone specialist, and expert in Vedic Hindu Astrology. With over two decades of experience, he has guided thousands toward clarity and solutions in various aspects of life. His mastery extends to gemstones, Kundali Prediction, and Vastu, making him a trusted source for personal and spiritual growth.

Maa Chandraghanta : The Goddess of Third Day of Navratri

Maa Chandraghanta is the third form of the goddess Durga in the Navdurga sequence and is worshipped on the third day of Navratri. Her name is derived from “chandra” meaning moon and “ghanta” meaning bell, as she is believed to have a half-moon on her forehead and wears a bell-shaped ornament around her neck.
Maa Chandraghanta appeared after the marriage of Parvati with Lord Shiva. It is said that Lord Shiva arrived at the wedding with his army of ghosts, and the sight of this terrified Parvati’s family and friends. In order to calm their fears, Parvati transformed herself into the form of Maa Chandraghanta, which has ten arms, three eyes, and rides a tiger. She wore a bell-shaped ornament around her neck, which produced a loud and melodious sound, and caused the army of ghosts to tremble with fear.
The importance of worshipping Maa Chandraghanta lies in invoking the energy of bravery and protection. Maa Chandraghanta is often depicted holding weapons such as a trident, sword, and bow and arrow, which represent her ability to defend and protect her devotees. Her image is also associated with the symbol of the crescent moon, which represents the divine feminine energy.
By worshipping Mata Chandraghanta, devotees seek the blessings of courage, strength, and protection from negative influences. Her blessings are believed to help devotees overcome fear, defeat enemies, and emerge victorious in difficult situations.
In summary, the worship of Mata Chandraghanta is an important part of the Navratri festival, as it invokes the blessings of the divine feminine energy in the form of a fierce and powerful warrior, who provides strength and protection to her devotees.
