INTRODUCTION
Instead of fearing about our future life, let us
prestigiously become staunch devotees of Ma
Shakti Devi. After the death of the dreaded
demons like Mahishasura and Raktabija, who
were all killed in the hands of Ma Shakti Devi, all of
the deities, including those who lives in the entire
14 worlds, were very much delighted, since they
have got the opportunity to see the
VISWAROOPA (Divine Form) of Ma Shakti Devi!
As per the Holy Devi Mahatmya Purana, it was
mentioned that Ma Shakti Devi showers her
utmost grace to those who worships her faithfully,
honestly and sincerely. Ma Shakti Devi contains a
beautiful face, and even if we scold at her, due to
our own personal problems, she would never
punish us, but instead of that, she would try to
remove our troubles and turmoil at least to a
certain extent, and also would give us the will-
power, courage and wisdom enough to face any
kind of challenges and difficulties. Though she has
got enormous powers, yet she didn’t get pride,
since she considers herself as an obedient consort
to her husband Lord Shiva. At present, though we
are unable to get the divine vision of Ma Shakti
Devi with our ordinary naked eyes, yet, we can
imagine as if we are sincerely serving Ma Shakti
Devi as her own son/daughter by gently pressing
her legs, by glorifying her with songs, and by
affectionately watching her shining face.
We can also imagine ourselves as if we live with
Ma Shakti Devi in the Holy Kailasha. Once if we
keep on doing like that, then on fine day, she
would really appear before us, and would give
good spiritual enlightenment as well as spiritual
powers.
We can also imagine that we would attain
salvation after our death. By doing that, we would
be able to do only good deeds, and we can keep
on concentrate our entire attention on Ma Shakti
Devi.
The great Shaktinis (Staunch Shakti Devi
Devotees) have expressed their wishes to the holy
mother, in order to become even a small dust
particle on her body, in order to enjoy the
everlasting bliss for ever in their life by
permanently dwelling on the body of Ma Shakti
Devi. They also used to sing lot of devotional
songs and praised Ma Shakti Devi for showering
her great mercy on them. Most of us are daily
wasting our life by simply eating, sleeping and
spending our leisure time in useless entertainment
activities, since we consider that doing that alone
would give good pleasure. But if we watch the
activities of those people who perform dance, sing
songs and sanctifies the glory of Ma Shakti Devi,
then we would be able to realise that how
importance is to show our bhakti on “MA SHAKTI
DEVI”, in order to attain MUKTI (SALVATION).
As per the Devi Mahatmya, Ma Shakti Devi tells to
her devotees, “Always keep thinking about me,
me, and me only, then your mind would not be
filled up with garbage, and your mind would
become pure and pious. Those sincere devotees,
like Kalidasa, Bhojaraja and Vikramaditya have
kept their entire attention on me, and hence, they
have attained good position, and if you too keep
strong faith and bhakti on me similar to them, then
I promise you, that henceforth, there would be no
subsequent births for you, and you would be totally
merged with me”.
Hence let us imagine ourselves that we are
spending our most of time with Ma Shakti Devi, by
conversing with her, listening to her wonderful
divine speech, and by watching her divine beauty
again and again.
