Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Namaste. Many as offering we pay our love to our Eshta Deva and or Eshat Devi. and many like us just hand over the same to the Main Adhikaari at the abode of the Temple. . I would like to share with All few basic steps taken into consideration of our offering mainly to Devi. As always a Sari and other offerings linked to offer are our main understanding. Not knowing the color scheme we just offer. But actually there are different colors for a Specific Devi.This special offering of Sari is known as 'Oti bharane'. The sari texture be made of cotton or silk fabric, because when compared to other fabrics, to attract and retain the sattvik frequencies emanating from the Goddess. B. Stand in front of the Goddess holding the sari with open palms, at chest level; place the blouse-piece on top of the sari and then a coconut and some rice grains over the blouse piece. The tuft at one end of the coconut should be towards the Goddess. C. Pray with utmost bhav (spiritual emotion) to the Goddess to bless you with chaitanya and for your spiritual progress. This helps manifest the 'with attribute' Goddess principle. D. After offering all the ingredients of 'Oti' at the feet of the Goddess, offer some rice grains on them. E. If possible, the lady offering the 'Oti' (only a married lady is permitted to offer an 'Oti' to a Goddess) should wear the sari offered to the Goddess as prasad (holy sacrament) and partake of the coconut too as prasad. The table ahead gives the names of the Goddess and the colour that attracts Its principle in the least time. If the Incarnation is related to two different principles, two colours attracting both are given. E.g. Sri Durgadevi is related to the destroyer (Marak) principle, hence the colour related to that principle i.e. only the red colour is mentioned against Her name. Goddess Color %(Tarak + Marak) 1. Sri Durga None + Red 100% 2. Sri Mahalaxmi Orange 40% + Red 60% 3. Sri Laxmi Yellow 60% + Red 40% 4. Sri Mahasaraswati White 60% + Red 40% 5. Sri Saraswati White 100% + None 6. Sri Mahakali Purpule 80% + Red 20% 7. Sri Kali Purple 100% + None Never miss a thing. Make your homepage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
