Thought for the day - Happy Earth Day April 22, 2009

[Guest guest]

Namaste all.

 

Mother Earth is a Goddess to Hindus. She is One of the Wives of Maha Vishnu,

One of the trinity of Hinduism. Hindu devotees ask Her pardon in this prayer

before setting their feet on Her ground paying their respects:-

 

samudra vasane devI parvata sthana manDale

viSNu patnI namasthubhyaM pAda sparzaM KSamasva me

 

Salutations to the Divine consort of the Lord,

Who is clothed by the vast deep blue oceans, and

Whose raised bosom is the majestic mountain range.

Forgive me Mother, for setting my foot on You.

 

In Padma Purana, Srimati Radharani is glorified through these prayers-

 

tulasI puNya rupa ca gaGgA bhuvana pAvanI

brahma loke ca sAvitrI kalayA tvaM vasundharA

goloke rAdhikA tvaM ca sarva gopAlakezvarI

 

You are Radhika, the eternal Mistress of all Gopis in Goloka.

You are also identified as the origin of Prakriti, and

as Savitri in Lord Brahma's abode.

 

You are worshipped as the sacred plant Tulasi and

as ever purifying River of the three worlds, Ganga,

and in part as Mother Earth.
