SHAILA PUTRI of NAVA DURGA

Respected Friends,

 

Pranam!

SHAILA PUTRI of NAVA DURGA

 

 

 

It was Pandit Sahib Kaul, who reconstructed the religious thought of

SHAKTA worship, in Kashmir during the rule of Jehangir. It was he,

who wrote the commentry on the Bhavani Sahsranama, under the title,

DEVI NAAMA VILAASA. It was published during Maharaja Partap Singh's

rule, edited by the then authorities of the Kashmir Research

Deparetment.

 

The Nava Durga Puja is invoked with the KADI MARG and with the HADI

MARG.Now, nobody is competent enough to perform the Nava Durga Puja

with the Hadi system of Mantra, in Ksashmir. The last in the line

was Pandit Jia Lal Kaw, a celebrated Scholar of the Tantras from Nai

Sarak Srinagar.

 

Tomorrow is the Invocation of the First Navaratra. It is revered as

the ASHVIN SHUKLA PRATIPADAA , dedicated to SHAILAPUTRI.

 

About Shaila Putri:--

 

Shaila-putri means the daughter of the Himalaya. Shila means a rock,

a stone. SHAILA is the derivative of the word SHILA. It is the rock

of spiritual standing and the whole world gets strength from the

Shaila-Putri aspect of Purna Prakriti DURGA.

 

>From the Yogic point of view, the First Navaratra is considered to

be very auspicious day.This is the Yogic start for being in tune

with the Divine Mother Durga. Those who want to have any kind of

initiation in the Shakti Mantras, can have it on the First of Shukla

Pratipda.

 

The aspiration of a devotee is to reach higher and further higher,

for spiritual evolution, and for the attainment of Siddhi, which is

perfection associated with Ananda/ bliss. Verily, Shaila Putri is

the Mooladhara Shakti to be realized within Self and sought for

higher depths, in the YOGA-maditation. This is an experience in the

soul-searching of Immutable within human existence. Shilaputri is

the physical consciousness of the Divine Mother Durga. She is truly

PARVATI.---daughter of the King Himvan, as described in the Shiva

Purana. Shaila putri is the manifestation of this earth planet,

which includes what is apparent on this earth, and within the globe.

Shaila putri covers all the hills, vales, water resources, seas and

oceans, including atmosphere. Therefore,Shila putri is the essence

of the earthly existence. Her abode is in the Mooladhara Chakra. The

divine Energy is latent in every human being. It is to be realized.

Its color is crimson.The

Tattva/element is Earth, with the Guna/quality of coherence, and

with the Bheda /distinct characteristics of Ghraana/ the Smell.

 

Its Mantra is La+Ma, i.e.Lama, of the Sanskrit Varnamala. Its focus

is on the tip of the tongue, and lips.

 

Dhyana Mantra Of Shaila Putri:--

I pay my VANDANA/ obeisance to the DIVINE MOTHER SHAILA-PUTRI, who

bestows upon the choicest boons to the devotees. The moon in the

crescent form is adorned as the crown on Her forehead. She is

mounted on the bullock.She holds a lance in her hand. She is

Yashasvini ---the CELEBRATED MOTHER DURGA.
