Devi in the Narada Purana

Kuch log use Uma kehte hain. Kuch kehte hain Shakti, aur kuch Lakshmi bulate hain. Kuch use Bharati kehte hain. Aur kuch Girija ya Ambika bulate hain.

Bhagwan ki shakti bahut badi hai. Usey Mahamaya kehte hain. Yeh saari duniya ko sambhalti hai. Isliye budhe log isey Prakriti kehte hain. Kyunki yeh duniya ke shuru hone ki wajah hai. Yeh sab kaaran hai.

Yeh kitab Ved ke barabar hai aur Hari ke bhakti ko badhati hai. Usne apne beta Shuk ko yeh padhayi. Shuk duniya se alag rehta tha, sirf bhagwan mein laga tha.

Guru ko salaam karo, woh khud Sada Shiv hai. Woh sabse badi shakti ke saath hai. Woh hazaar pankhdi wale bade kamal mein rehta hai. Uske paas naad aur bindu, yeh dono cheezein hain.

Jab duniya khatam hone ka time aata hai, tab Bhagwan ke alag-alag naam se pukarte hain. Lakulisha naam se jab Lakshmi ke saath hote hain. Shivesha naam se jab Vyapini ke saath jud jate hain. Aur Mahamaya naam se Shrikantha-matrika ke roop…

Maya bahut badi hai, yeh duniya ko hamesha ulajhan mein rakhti hai. Yeh Yam ka sahara leti hai. Isliye main aapko upar ka kapda de deta hoon.

Yeh nau akshar ka mantra hai. Om se shuru hota hai aur Bhuvaneshani ke beej pe khatam hota hai. Isme hasti aur pishachi shabd likhna hai. Aur Agri-sundari bhi saath mein likhna hai.

Dhyan aur puja ka tarika pehle jaisa hi hai, wahi follow karo. Pehle Om bole, phir ending lagao, phir Bhagavati bolo. Uske baad Dharani ke do akshar bolo, aur ant mein Hare ke do akshar bolo.

Pancharatra paddhati mein Ditij ke baad Kareti shabd banta hai. Mahamaya ke baad Amogha lagta hai. Aur Daryam ke baad Daityendra shabd aata hai. Yeh sab shabd ke hisaab se bana hai.

Shakti mantra ke beej se shat lambi swar hote hain. Unse apne sharir ke hisson pe nyas karo. Phir badi devi Sita ka dhyan karo, teeno duniya mein unki puja hoti hai.

Woh Bhadra hai, jiska matlab hai bhagya wali. Bhagwati hai, bhagwan ki roop. Shanta hai, shaant swabhav wali. Kumuda hai, jaise kamal itni sundar. Sundari hai, sabse khoobsurat. Priya hai, sabki laadli. Krishna mein uska dil basta hai. Sri…

Woh Krishna deti hai aur pyaar paalti hai. Unka roop sona jaisa hai, dekhne mein bahut achha lagta hai. Pahad woh uthaati hai aur naam bhi woh uthaati hai. Yeh Mahadevi hai jo accha karti hai.

Wahan reh kar jagat ki maa tapasya karti hai. Apne niyam mein rehti hai. Teeno time mein apne alag-alag roop lekar aati hai, yeh kaam woh barabar karti rehti hai.

Ek akshar wala jo mantra hai, uska rishi Shakti hai. Uska chhand Gayatri hai. Aur devi ka naam Bhuvaneshwari hai, yeh sab jan lo.

Lakshmi ki shuruwat Vedo se hai. Girija aur Padma unke do roop hain. Bhrigu rishi unka dil maana jaata hai. He Bhagwati, Maheshwari, Annapurna, Agni dev ki patni, hamari baat aur puja mein hamesha raho.

Vedon ke point par chaar shaktiyan hain. Paraa aur Bhuvaneshwari, aur phir Kamala aur Subhaga. Yeh sab Braahmi se shuru hoke aath pankhdi wale kamal par baithi hain.

Devi ko peele phoolon se puja karna hai. Haldi ke moti se mala bana ke jaap karna hai. Bhagwati ko peele roop mein soch ke, doodh ke beech mein baith ke das hazaar baar mantra bolna hai.

Maya ke do shabd hathiyar mantra ke hissa mein jod lo. Om se shuru hone wale aur Svaha pe khatam hone wale mantra bhi alag-alag hisson mein rakh lo. Phir Ambika ka dhyan karo.

Toh yeh Bhairavi ki baat ho gayi. Ab doosra roop suno. Bhagwati, tumhe namaste. Vangmaya, Kamala, Tara - yeh teeno roop hain.

Durga Maa ke baare mein maine sab bataya. Woh jagat ki Maa hai, sabki Maa hai. Ab tum kya aur jaanna chahte ho?
