Skandamata: The Goddess of Vishuddhi Chakra

 Skandamata: The Goddess of Vishuddhi Chakra 

Today is 5th day of Navratri. Maa Skandamata is the fifth form of the Maa Durga ( Parvati) and is worshipped today.

The word "Skanda" means Kartikeya, Commander of Deities army; who is the son of Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati. In the form of Skandamata, portrayed her frequently riding a furious lion with 6 headed child Kartikeya (Murugan) in her lap; where Lord Skanda's six faces is symbolic of the six senses. Skandmata has four arms, rides a lion and is seated on a lotus. She also holds a lotus in two of her hands, carries Lord Kartikeya with the third hand and blesses all her devotees with the fourth hand.

On this auspicious day, we seek the blessings of Maa Skandamata, the nurturing goddess who represents strength, protection, and the power of unconditional love. By worshipped Skandamata, brings success, knowledge, and wisdom. Yellow is the color associated with Skanda Mata, and offerings of yellow clothes and flowers are made. Maa Shankamata is usually offered bananas as bhog.

Maa Skandamata is the deity of “Vishuddhi Chakra”., which represents love, compassion, and understanding. She also represents maternal love and fearlessness and blesses her devotees with protection and prosperity. Vishuddhi Chakra gets blocked because of the lies, illusions, delusions and confusions we keep on living and keep making them our reality, which in reality are not the truths at all. Purity of mind, thoughts, intentions, knowledge, actions is needed to cleanse this chakra. It does not mean that you only have to think positive, no it’s not like that. It’s about accepting your present state of evolution, accepting your present state of consciousness and embracing and accepting yourself as you are, and then working towards that which blocks your freedom to be a divine being.

Happy Panchami to all.

Ohh GOD!!!!

WOMAN : a journey from Womb to Mankind.                                       We all are talking about empowering women, whereas we all forget that we all nurtured & grew by the  ambidextrous One , whom we call lovingly  Maa, Mom, Mamma, Amma, Mother, Ayee, etc. etc.  .....( according to our choice) Terrific to nothing, hopeless to everything  or genious to dumb , selfish to humanity..... whatever we are, were and will , thanks to our those ambidextrous ONE who sacrificed herself to build us strong to say today " let's take a resolution to make the women empowered to teach them raising their voice".... Instead of empowering women (as they are selfmade empowered creatures by the grace of nature's miracle law) , please focus to empower our humanity to save earth by respect , with respect and of respect. # We are strong enough to digest all humility and move forw...

The poem " My Wisdome " by Pubali BM

         My Wisdome  I want to go lost one day somewhere  Bohemianly moving here and there.... To find myself where I can fly freely,  Can breath the breeze shyly........ Can enjoy my sun kissed morning,  Not in hurry in life returning..... Or to hop flower to flower to sing a song,  To have the essence of all the dandelion... I want to go lost one day somewhere  Bohemianly moving here and there.......                              by Pubali BM (3.01.23)
