SEETARPANAM – A STORY – NAVARATRI, DIWALI AND SEETA
It is always nice to celebrate together. Diwali is such a great occasion, which brings happiness all around. Diwali or Deepavali is called the festival of lights. Each and every home and every street and road are lit up with lamps and lanterns. It is indeed a beautiful sight.
There is always a story behind every festival. The story of Diwali is related to Ram, the king of Ayodhya. It is believed that Ram along with Seeta and Lakshmana reached Ayodhya on this day after defeating Ravana.
This narration is an attempt to articulate some thoughts surrounding Seeta. If Dussehra  is the day when Ravana was killed by Ram, is there any connection between Seetaa and  Navadurgas?  If Deepavali is the day Ram, Seeta and Lakshman reached Ayodhya, and Diwali is also the occasion to worship Lakshmi, Is there any connection between Lakshmi, Seeta , lamps and diyas?
Enjoy reading
SEETARPANAM – A STORY – NAVARATRI, DIWALI AND SEETA
SEETADEVI AND NAVADURGAS
Seetadevi sat under the tree. She is in Lanka now. She had the intuition that she could meet Rama very soon
Seeta, the personification of purity was worshipping Maa Adiparashakti everyday. In those dark and desperate days, Seeta lit the lamp, with the name and form of Maa Durga.
Seetadevi decided to worship the nine pure yet powerful forms of Maa Durga. Maa Durga in the form of Shailputri, the beautiful young maiden daughter of Himalaya, came into her mind. Seeta immersed herself in the thought of Shailputri and meditated upon her and prayed to give her enough strength to pass through this miserable situation
The next day Seetadevi prayed to Maa Brahmacharini, a satwik form of Maa Durga. Seeta pleaded to this supreme mother who is the abode of all the living and non living, for forgiveness to any fault or mistakes by thought, words or deed, intentionally or unintentionally. Seeta immersed herself in japa   and meditated upon this satwik form of Maa Durga and prayed for her blessings
Seetadevi invoked Maa Chandrakhanta on the  third day. Maa Durga in this form is adorned with a crescent moon, who rides on a tiger, who wields weapons, and is holding japamala and lotus too. With one of the hands she protects her devotees and with the other she gives boons. Seetadevi prayed to this benign and  powerful form of Maa Durga.
Maa Kushmanda was the next form of Durga whom Seeta worshipped. This powerful benign form of Maa Durga rides on a lion and the power of entire universe exists inside Maa Kushmanda, like an egg. Seetadevi meditated upon her that day and night.
Tumblr media
On the fifth day Seetadevi invoked Skanda Mata, mother of Kartikeya. With her son on her lap, wrapping her  hand around him with love, she rides on a lion. Seetadevi prayed to this wonderful form for protection and motherly love.
On the sixth day, Seetadevi prayed to Durga Maa as Katyayani Devi, who rides on a fierce lion. She has a lotus in one of her hands which shows her kindness and love. Seetadevi meditated upon this divine form of Katyayani Devi who is adorned with beautiful ornaments.
Maa Kalaratri is a fierce form of Maa Durga. Maa  Kalaratri is the symbol of courage, power, destruction and auspiciousness. She destroys the evil and restores the balance. Maa kalaratri rides on donkey and has three red eyes, skull garland as ornament, and she carries various weapons too. Seetadevi worshipped Maa Kalaratri with complete devotion and respect on the seventh day and prayed for her blessings
The next day Seetadevi prayed to Mahagauri, who rides  an ox . The only weapon she has is a trident. On the other two hands she holds a damaru and lotus. She shows the abhayamudra with one of her hands. Mahagauri empowers her devotees and protects and shields them from evil. Seetadevi worshipped her intensely and prayed for her protection
On the ninth day Seetadevi invoked Maa Sidhidatri with utmost respect and devotion. Maa Durga in this supremely blissful form confers all supernatural powers on her devotees. She is sitting on a fully bloomed lotus and holds discuss and mace on two of her hands which shows her might and courage. On the other two hands she holds a lotus and conch which represents her beauty and purity. Seetadevi intensely meditated upon this auspicious form of Maa Durga and prayed for her blessings.
The next day was tenth day of Seetadevi ‘s tapasya. News reached her  that Rama had won the battle and soon she will be united with Rama. On that day she invoked Maa Vijaya Devi with utmost gratitude and humility. She thanked the supreme mother for giving strength and patience throughout. Seetadevi felt the days of darkness, ignorance, confinement, instability and uncertainties are over.
AGNISHUDDHI
Seetadevi who is the personification of purity herself, still wanted to do the ablutions., The ablutions with fire! 
Seetadevi entered the sacred fire pit without any fear. She burnt all the impure thoughts of ignorance. She offered it as the sacrifice to fire which burns everything. The sacred fire accepted all her offerings.
Seetadevi enjoyed the sound of flames moving up and down. She enjoyed the little crackling sound of sparks. She bathed on the sacred fire leisurely. The power of fire was on her will, on her command!
Energised by that sacred fire, Seetadevi stepped out of the fire pit glowing like a golden flame
The people gathered there were amazed to witness all these. Those who knew Seetadevi were aware of her siddhis. They had heard about Seetadevi’s commanding power over the elements. It is said that mother earth manifested herself infront of Seetadevi upon her command. That was Seetadevi! That much was her power!
Tumblr media
DIWALI
In Ayodhya there was no place for negative emotions (tamogunas). People were always happy, peaceful, energetic, kind and prosperous. They had heard about the fierce battle between Rama and Ravana. They know that Rama is peace loving individual but he won’t run away if war is inevitable and he is invincible whoever his opponent be.
Now prince Rama and princess Seeta is returning to Ayodhya after years of exile. People of Ayodhya celebrated the occasion with great enthusiasm.
News of Seetadevi’s tapasya and subsequent agnishuddhi reached much earlier than Rama and Seeta themselves.  All the women admired her. They just wanted to have a look, just wanted to see her with their own eyes. Seetadevi ensured her presence.  She sat and conversed with them. They couldn’t take their eyes off of her. While hesitantly  returning,  they invited her to their homes. They requested Seetadevi to come to their homes and energise and purify with her presence. Seetadevi promised to visit each and every home in the kingdom of Ayodhya.
People cleaned their homes, road to their homes, surroundings too. They decorated their homes with flowers and toran, made colourful rangolis wherever possible. They lit diyas in the evening and burst firecrackers at night. Those were the days of celebrations.
They imagined the gracious presence of Seetadevi in their homes, which was no less than getting a boon. Seetadevi’s tapasya and agnishuddhi became the topic of new and never ending stories in Ayodhya. It was the talk, if there were a group of people together, it was the theme of the story the grandmother would tell her grandchildren repeatedly, to which the children would like to listen to repeatedly.
Because she will be passing bythe way, lamps and lanterns were lit every nook and corner. The roadsides were decorated with colorful rangoli.   People expected, wished her to come or at least pass by their way. And it was Seetadevi who will never ignore their expectations and wishes.
As promised Seetadevi visited each and every home in the kingdom of Ayodhya, rich or poor, big or small, far or near. She walked through every road. They welcomed her with flower garlands and aarti.  To represent her command over the elements earth and fire, they lit earthen lamps in front of their homes.  People showered her with love. Out of love and concern, some elderly ladies scolded her for entering into fire and told her not to do it again. Some of them warned her not to play with fire. Some asked her whether she burned herself, and are there any burn marks on her. Seetadevi happily answered all their queries.
For them Seetadevi was none other than Goddess Mahalakshmi who bestows all the happiness and prosperity
Because Seetadevi is one of a kind and the people of Ayodhya were one of a kind, they were celebrated every year. They  are remembered time and again.

A VERY HAPPY DIWALI TO ALL OF YOU

ardra tears
Tumblr media
Ardra. Um nakshatra mercuriano (Gêmeos) regido por Rahu. O potencial aqui é ilimitado porque juntamos o poder fascinante das palavras e da comunicação com a sede de domínio sobre o mundo material.
Só vou recopilar aqui citações aleatórias, com os seus devidos créditos, sobre essa mansão lunar. Sem traduzir.
“Ardra nakshatra does not get the credit it deserves for being one of the most sincerelt humanitarian nakshatras out there. Which other placement is symbolized as literal tears shed from concern for creation?” @HiddenOctave_
“In Ardra part of Gemini; mind & emotions literally go through a storm.” @AstroCounselVik
“Both these signs can create havoc, and through there tenacity also transform the world. However this only occurs post going through a storm. Ardra Nakshatra (6° 40 to 20° Gemini) Jyestha Nakshtra (16° 40 to 30° Scorpio) These two nakshatras are the so called ‘testing ones’" @AstroCounselVik (OMG, I’m both of them. Ok, not my choice).
“I always thought Rahu is associated with tattoos especially Ardra Nakshatra but seems like Jyestha are too as Alakshami is described as an outcast.” (Chandalini) .@AdiParashakti
“The Tikshna sisterhood - Ardra, Ashlesha, Jyestha, Mula.” @LucidRain2
“Sharp (Tikshana): Ardra(6), Ashlesha(9), Jyestha(18), Mula(19). In the old times these Nakshatras were used for evoking of spirits, use of poisons, punishments, sharp Nakshatras offer a sharp tongue, piercing eyes. Even strong if they happen to fall on Saturdays.” @AstroCounselVik “Ardra natives are always spoken about constantly.” @AngelNumberz (oh, you bet we are).
“In Ardra, we merge the themes of destruction, creation and transformation to master ourselves and conquer the world.Ardra then becomes “The Star of Achievement” ‘the storm that we must weather so that our nature can once again become pure and clean.’” @zamanlafiyaa
“Octavia Butler - Ardra Moon. Her father died when she was 7. In her childhood she was bullied, socially awkward and struggling at school due to dyslexia. Reading became her escape. And eventually she started writing. “I began writing about power because I had so little.” @zamanlafiyaa
“Mercury’s influence on these natives gives them an instinctive understanding of the value of writing  and purging their mind - that in itself being a form of transformation. It can become a daily practice for them, sometimes serving a different purpose later.“ @zamanlafiyaa
“I heard adra people- ruled by rahu - need to live in the country since the city overwhelms them. idk i feel like ardra people generally don’t like people.” @Ariesdirection (yes, I don’t like people; I always said that).
“kafka’s ardra sun. i love seeing Ardra and sleeping themes :’) (ft. two ardra princesses kissed and woken up from their “sleep”)” @turiyaa
“Rudra, the deity presiding over Ardra is an early form of Shiva: the lord of destructive storms – Ardra natives have to destroy themselves first in order to heal and obtain success. Ardra’s Vimshottari Dasha ruler is Rahu – Rahu has destructive qualities and Ardra being the first Rahu ruled nakshatra we see illusions being exposed and reality kicking in.“ @lunagiiselle
“That’s where he got Ardra fucked up. Ardra and Gemini in general, is very observant. They will observe for years while playing a certain role before they take matters into their own hands. They are obsessed with data. The more time goes by the more data they have collected.“ @lunagiiselle 
“ardra natives are more likely to experience a grave and earth shattering loss very young in their lives, and this aggravates their need to be accepted and understood even more. the fear of losing is a major theme here, losing people and losing themselves. natives often go through the phases of being unloved and untouched by the ones they need the most, so they respond to this by rebelling, acting out and going against the grain they were snuggly pressed against. they can only ever be redeemed from this hell cycle by being the “right one” for themselves, loving and embracing who they are without the need for someone else. ” @gr4vyrd
“these nakshatras can be especially insensitive with their language, if you push them far enough they will rip you to shreds with their words and feel no remorse. a lot of people can’t tolerate this, they’re afraid to step to them for this reason, they feel small...ardra natives are intensely sensitive, like a raw, open, nerve. these natives are on a never ending journey of finding the “right one” but no matter where they search, high and low, destruction and greif seem to follow them.“ @gr4vyrd 
“Ardra natives are always struggle with receiving praise from the people they wish to receive praise from. People often look at their cries for help as miniscule and not serious until it gets serious.“ @lunagiiselle
“best to share these thoughts with a mula or keep them to yourself. because in this world we live in we don’t fit in. we came from a different substance. we were supposed to be animals. lmao“ @lunagiiselle
“I read somewhere that Ardra natives literally have to find the time and space for themselves to sit, calm, center and be mindful because I genuinely thirst for it and need it. My alone time is so important. Meditation is needed. Nature time is needed. Imbalance without it.” @hotchhinamasta
“Rudra is the lord of wild animals and ardra natives feel more comfortable with animals than with people. So I even dare saying that maybe they don't charm snakes, they govern them (and the other wild animals).” @sirens_portal
“I found with Ardra (Rahu) they are so often painted as “the bad guy” but I think people actually harm & provoke Ardra more than Ardra harms and provokes anyone. They’re more internally tumultuous than externally so. Heartbreakingly, I saw people don’t consider their sensitivity! And I think say and behave quite harshly towards Ardra when all Ardra is often doing is existing and trying to navigate an already difficult internal existence in a material world it does not know. I say in a material world it does not know bc Ardra is associated with when man was kicked out of the garden Eden (coming after Mrigashira) - it’s like trying to navigate life on your own under harsh punishment for something that wasn’t necessarily their fault. Ardra is sidereal Gemini between the degrees & minutes of: 06°40'-20°00Just wanted to encourage all Ardra natives that it’s not them or their fault and to keep your heads up! " @AudnyApeiron
“like their destructive deity, ardra natives can seem like very formidable folk. but how can one not be so hardened, when one is so dissatisfied in knowing the state of the world? when one is so invested yet heartbroken?” @lovejustlied​ (<3 that)
“rahu's energy in ardra is brought down to earth through the mental & communicative powers of mercury, the ruler of sidereal ♊︎. rahu's attachment to the world is sharpened into awareness of it marking ardra natives as very astute observers of the human condition. & with mercury's gifts of mental acuity & speech, ardra natives are found to be investigative, critically minded, & quick witted, as well as opinionated & sharp tongued.“ @lovejustlied​
“Any other Ardra natives always loved storms? The charged atmosphere, the flashing sky, the rich smell of wet vegetation, the rain on your feet. When I was a child I used to leave little pots outside to collect storm water. I felt like it made the water powerful. Anyone relate?” @LucidRain2 (yes, I do relate)
“Ardra natives can gain good karma by being more charitable. Rahu is both left and right, but inclined to forward moving, it can become mercilessly selfish.” @EbonyART_ (definitely)
An overlooked trait of Ardra natives is how nurturing and caring they can be. This is confirmed in myths and symbolisms related to Rudra, it's deity. @thefalgunis 
Ardra means "moist" and "green". Water sustains life on this planet and green is the colour of lush and abundance. The meaning itself tells a lot about the nurturing side of this nakshatra. Also, Bhagwan Rudra (Shiva) is worshipped as "Bholenath" or the benevolent one. @ashterisked

শুভ জগদ্ধাত্রী পূজা
GODDESS JAGATDHATRI Durga who destroys the Ego of everyone -
She is worshipped in the month of Agrahyan in the days of Saptami, Astami, Navami and Dashami in Shukla Paksh. In some places she is only worshipped in a grand manner on Shukla Navami in the month of Agrahyan.
Her worship is very popular in many parts of West Bengal.According to some legends, it is believed that after the defeat of Mahishasura, the other deities started to think that no one is more powerful than them. Dressed in red, Maa Jagadhatri appeared as a four-armed Goddess, holding a conch, bow, chakra and arrow in her hands and challenged the deities to lift a blade of grass. Unable to lift it, the deities realized the power and might of the Goddess and apologized for cultivating ego. In the idol of Maa Jagadhatri, lion thrashing the elephant signifies the ego of deities crushed by her.
My imaginary sketch of @akanksha8000 di as maa jagaddhatri.

THE ‘ HE & SHE ‘ DILEMMA OF GOD : what is the gender of god ?  (acc. to hinduism)
There have been numerous queries on our forum about how there is only ‘one female goddess in hinduism’ ,but ‘so many male gods’ .About how can GOD be associated as only Father/HE & not as Mother/SHE.That why is “GOD” only seen as a paternal figure rather than a maternal manifestation.
It is just a sense of perspective that leads us to such false conclusions.
PATRIARCHY ends in the human world of innumerable woes.
The esoteric Knowledge of the Purana’s should not be used to justify mortal affairs .
God is of neither  gender – and is both. Let's consider this .
Before we can understand whether God is male or female, we need to clearly understand that we ourselves are neither male nor female. We are at core spiritual beings, souls, whereas our gender refers only to our shell, our physical bodies. Our spiritual identity is eternal, our gender is transient. Hence both male chauvinism and feminism are two sides of the counterfeit coin of physical misidentification. Only when we distance ourselves from our temporary physical gender will be freed from the ideological preconceptions that are inevitably dragged into discussion on the gender of God. So in the conventional sense of the words 'male' and 'female' where these refer to bodily gender, God is neither.         
The creation is compared to female and the creator is compared to male. The creation is controlled by the creator. The Creator has no meaning without the creation.Generally the female is controlled by the male.
“THE SUPREME CONSCIOUSNESS & IT’S POWER ARE ONE !”
Tumblr media
 Following this convention, the concept is represented accordingly. FOR EXAMPLE, Goddess Lakshmi is pressing the feet of the Lord Narayana as a servant. Here some misunderstand this as the male domination. Since the male domination existed in nature, the concept is represented like that. This does not mean that the concept supports the male domination. Even in the ancient tradition, there used to be some cases of female domination over the males. 
According to that tradition God is represented by the female or Parashakti whose throne is carried by Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva on their shoulders.
Sankara praises God in female form in ‘Soundaryalahari’ in which it is stated that Brahma creates the universe from the dust of Her lotus feet, Vishnu carries it on His head and Shiva powders it and applies on His body as ash. (Taniyamsam Pamsum….).
Tumblr media
Here God is in the female-medium and the souls are in the mediums of males. Here Vishnu represents the soul and Adiparashakti represents God. Therefore the domination of male or female is not the point here, which may vary from case to case. But the domination of God over souls is the reality that is to be represented.
When the human incarnation of Durga appeared to kill Mahishasura, Durga is female and Mahishasura is male. You cannot give victory to Mahishasura since he is male and defeat to Durga since She is female. Let the dominations and suppressions of males and females be restricted to the human beings only as social problems and let them not enter and pollute the spiritual concepts.
A FEW EXAMPLES FROM THE HINDU MYTHOLOGY ARE LISTED BELOW,
Ravana was a male and a Brahmin. Gopikas were women and belonged to the backward caste. Gopikas were given Goloka which is the top most place. Ravana was thrown into hell. Therefore in the devotees also, the concept of male or female and the concept of caste system does not exist except the devotion proved by sacrifice. Gopikas proved their devotion by sacrificing butter (wealth), Dharma, children and finally they sacrificed even their lives by jumping into fire when Krishna left the human body, even though their husbands were alive! See the quality of devotion of Gopikas who were women of backward caste.
See the state of Ravana who is male and brahmin. He desired for the wife of the Lord! He could not recognize Rama who was the human incarnation at that time and neglected Him as an ordinary human being. Ravana was a great scholar of Vedas and Shastras. The four vedas and the six shastras represent the ten heads of Ravana. He did unimaginable penance. He believed only in the energetic forms of the upper worlds.He never considered the human race. He thought himself as God due to the super powers attained by Him. Sudama was a male and a brahmin but stole the part of parched rice to be given to the Lord while both were students. Sudama was punished with severe poverty for that sin. Therefore  Lord Krishna proved that there is no caste or gender for Him except the proved devotion which is the sacrifice.
Tumblr media
Any incarnation is the mixture of Purusha and Prakruti. The Prakruti part of the incarnation is neglected and the incarnation is treated as the unimaginable God in mediated condition. The wife sitting by the side of mediated God represents the devoted soul or Prakruti or Shakti. The devoted soul can even command the God. Hence, approaching God through a soul is called as worship of Shakti. Shakti being a soul can understand the problems of another soul and hence is treated as mother. Purusha is treated as father.You may think that, God is represented in male form and not much in female form. It is done so, following the traditional psychology representing domination of male husband over female wife. The psychology is simply followed, which is easily grasped by everybody. It does not really mean the real existence of domination of male over female.
It is also wrong to believe that Self is male and the energy is female. Purusha exists in males as well as females and so does Prakriti exists in males also. They are like the two sides of the same truth. It is also difficult to say who is superior to whom. Without energy Self is practically immovable and without Self energy does not have any field for its movements. The Truth at the highest level: pure energy (PRAKRITI is undivided consciousness (PURUSHA).

You get the idea of domination seeing only the form of medium and this medium is a part of creation or wife or female or Prakruti only! You can imagine that two ladies are acting in two different roles as husband and wife. Both the actors are basically females only. You can say that Datta (male form) represents unimaginable power (female) than unimaginable God (Male). 
Following the traditional psychology of male domination / Male over female is  for easier understanding & acceptance of a common man of average thinking - God is represented as male and soul is represented as female.Literally , this does not exist , nor is it possible since,
The Strength of the ‘CREATOR’ can not be divided  down to a humanoid term like HE/ SHE.
