Sattwic Puja of Shakti !

[Guest guest]

I do not know when and where Shakti puja was linked to sacrifice of

animals…but this is sure that our scriptures never allowed such

sacrifices. Perhaps it was a social evil started by the non-veg

people to satisfy their taste buds in the name of Mother Kali. Our

tantric scriptures (like Bhairayamal Tantra, Bhav-chudamani etc)…

always compared our Ego like that of an uncontrolled Mahish

(ox,buffalo) and our mind as uncontrolled Aja (goat)…hence a Tantra

must sacrifice his Mahish-like ego and his aja like Mind. Until

Ego is killed and Mind is destroyed, no one can start Shakti puja.

 

This was misinterpreted by people and they started sacrificing

innocent animals in the name of Shakti puja. Mother Kali is eternal

mother of all living beings in the universe. How will she be happy

if we kill other innocent animals in her name.

 

The Mother herself forbade head of the temple to stop sacrifice

in her name. During my visits to Himalayan Temples I happened to

pass a temple in Uttranchal. The temple is called Dhari devi by

local people. The story behind the temple is :-

 

On way to Kedar Nath, there is a sacred town Gupta Kashi in

the way. From Gupta Kashi a narrow road goes down to the valley. 15

Kms from Guptakashi is the sacred temple of Kaali Mathh. This

temple has historic value and has some very rare sculptures of devi

and shiva, said to be thousands years old. In the jungle

nearby….one can find 64 yantras of devi ….made naturally on the

rocks.

 

After the war of Devi with demons, as mentioned in Durga

Saptshati, Kali's anger was not cooled down….she roamed around

destroying everything which came to her path. All gods were worried

and they requested Shiva to cool down kali. Shiva lied down on her

path and the moment Kali's stepped on shiva, her anger cooled and

she was ashamed. Shiva asked her to be constructive as all the

demons had been destroyed. Kali said…so much energy I have

generated..i don't know what to do with this energy. Lord shiva

advised her to use her energies for the welfare of the beings and

blessed her with the name Kalyankarini (welfare doing mother).

Mother Kali then whirled around and entered the earth.

 

So there is a deep hole, where kali said to have entered into the

earth. In Kali Mathh this deep hole is worshipped. It is said that

mother kali entered into earth here…and came out from the temple of

Dhaari Devi…in Kalyankarini form….for the welfare of beings.

 

Till 2000, people used to sacrifice goats and sheeps in that

temple. The head priest of the temple, who is himself a non-

vegetarian, himself encouraged people to sacrifice. One night while

he was performing Kali japa , Mother kali appeared before him and

told him to stop sacrifice immediately. She warned him if the

sacrifice is not stopped, she will destroy the family of the

priest. The priest asked,"But it is for thousands of years that

people have been sacrificing animals. Mother Kali told the priest

that she has always been warning priests about this sacrifices….for

centuries.

 

The priest was so convinced…he immediately ordered to stop sacrifice

in the temple. Since he himself was killing animals, and ate meat,

he has to be believed. ...because he stopped eating and killing meat.

 

Mother Kali should be worshipped in Sattvic manner only. Violet or

dark colored flowers should be used for puja. After her Dhyana, one

can chant her name with devotions….she has two beeja mantras (Krim

and klim)…any of them can be chanted. Sweet should be distributed

after the puja. And don't forget to lit a lamp before the puja
