GODDESS BHRAMARI, THE NECTARINE GODDESS:

​The queen bee is to her hive as a Goddess is to her earthlings. Bees serve as images of the miraculous interconnectedness of life. Bees secrete the golden essence of life while living in an intricate cellular structure. The busy bee, following the impulsion of nature, while pollinating flowers gather their nectar to be transformed into madhu – honey. This is similar to continued activity by human who gather crops and transform them into food. The queen bee, who all others serve during their brief life is symbolic of prakrithi and Goddess. Throughout the ages bees and honey have inspired vedic writers and poets; hence the term sacred bees. 


Bhramari Devi is the Goddess of Black Bees. In Srimad Devi Bagavatam: Book 10, Chapter 13, Maharishi Veda Vyasa speaking in the voice of the sage Narada questions Lord Vishnu: “O Wise One! Who is that Bhramari Devi? What is Her Nature? Narayana states the mythology as thus. ArunadAnava, an asura wanted to establish a kingdom by driving out the devas. Aruna tries to compromise the chastity of the god’s wives. He invaded the heavens and dislodged the devas from their abodes. Aruna and his army effortlessly moved into the cities. 


The devas rushed to Lord Siva who summoned his fellow demons and their wives. The wives were brought before Lord Shiva. Out of fear they prayed to Goddess Parameshwari Devi for help. Pameshwari Devi transformed herself into a large bee from which a swarm of bees emanated. These bees surrounded the wives and sent out further lines of black bees which joined those emerging from her hands to cover the whole earth. The sky was overcast with this swarm and the world was cast into darkness. 


Nature was filled with bees and was a spectacle of a terrific sight. The demons were torn apart by the bees and the asuras were rendered helpless and incommunicado. They could not use their weapons. Adi Shakti appeared as the divine bee and said "O, asura! Meet your end!" And she stung him to death. Even, Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara wondered “Whose Maya is this! What a wonder that She will do like this?” The devis thanked Parmeshwari Devi for saving their chastity and sang ‘victory to the Devi’. The various musical instruments, mridangas, murajas and sankhas, bells all sounded in the three worlds and sung Her glory. Devi became glad and gave them separate boon when they went to her lotus feet. 


That is how Devi got the name of 'Bhramari Devi' as the protector. Brahmari is worshipped on the eighth night of the Navarathri festival. The Bhramari Devi Temple or Kote-ke-mai Temple is attributed toi the Goddess of Bees. There the main deity, Goddess Bhramari is facing north and devotees offer prayer from the south direction of the temple. It is said that Adi Guru Shankaracharya spent valuable time in the Kot Brahmari temple situated at the top of a mount enclosed by a fort in Kasauni.


DURGA: Bhramari is also said to be an epithet of Goddes Durga who saves the devas from ArunadAnava. As Bhramaralaka, the bee curl on Her forehead connotes bright charming splendor of her forehead gives solace to her devotees. 


KUNDALINI YOGA: 


Bhramari Devi is connected to the teachings of chakras. These seven realms of consciousness emanate from the first sound -- the pulse of the cosmic drum -- the heartbeat of the goddess. The Maha Devi or Great Goddess, Kundalini, manifests in sound form as a queen bee -Bhramari Devi surrounded by a cloud of buzzing bees. This lightening like goddess awakens in a buzz of ascending consciousness and descending spiritual grace. As this buzzing energy rises up the spine it illuminates the chakras which are interconnected with areas of the brain that are silent in the unawakened state. The chakras function as switches that explode the brain into awareness as these dormant areas are activated

 Raktdantika devi रक्तदंतिका देवी प्रणाम 🙏🙏🙏 ॐ नमः शिवाय आद्या शक्ति महादेवी का #रक्तदंतिका स्वरूप मूल रूप से जगदंबा का तामसिक स्वरूप माना जाता है। रक्तदंतिका का अर्थ है जिस देवी के दांत खून से सने हैं। रक्तदंतिका स्वरूप साहस, शौर्य, बल, पराक्रम का अद्भुत मिश्रण है। देवी रक्तदंतिका से जुड़ी मूलतः तीन प्रचलित किवंदीती हैं पहली मान्यतानुसार अनुसार राजा हिरण्यकश्यप के तेरह अधर्मी पुत्रों के वध के लिए ही रक्तदन्ता देवी ने अवतार लिया था।  दूसरी मान्यतानुसार आद्यशक्ति ने रक्तबीज दैत्य के वध हेतु रक्तदंतिका स्वरूप धारण किया था। रक्तबीज को वरदान था कि उसके रक्त के एक बूंद के पृथ्वी पर गिरते ही उसी की तरह एक और दैत्य उत्पन्न होगा। जब देवी असुर संग्राम में बार-बार रक्त की बूंदें गिरते ही असंख्य रक्तबीज उत्पन्न होने लगे तब देवी ने विकराल रूप धारण कर अपनी जीभ फैलाकर रक्तबीजों को जीभ पर लेकर उनके रक्त का पान कर दैत्यों का संहार किया।  तीसरी मतानुसार कालांतर में दैत्य वैप्रचलित से संसार को मुक्ति दिलाने हेतु देवी ने रक्तदंतिका रूप लिया। वैप्रचलित असुर के काल में पाप सर्वाधिक भीषण स्तर पर था। असहाय

 भगवती श्री मणिकर्णिका जी महारानी BHAGWATI SHRI MANIKARNIKA JI MAHARANI 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 प्रणाम ॐ नमः शिवाय PRANAM OM NAMAH SHIVAY 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 श्री #मणिकर्णिका देवी जी साधक को सुख तथा पुत्र देती है । यदि हम तीर्थ क्षेत्रो की बात करें तो सब को पता है के भारत देश के #उत्तरप्रदेश राज्य स्थित #वाराणसी नामक पुण्य क्षेत्र है, जिसमे अनेक घाट है, उन्ही में से एक है #मणिकर्णिकाघाट । जो अधिकतर लोगों के लिए आज  केवल एक पानी का कुण्ड मात्र रह गया है । अनेक लोग उससे सम्बंधित कहानियाँ कहते है जो पुराणों में भी वर्णित है।         यहाँ पर ऐसी मान्यता भी है की यदि इस पुण्य क्षेत्र में कोई अपने प्राण त्याग दे और उसका अंतिम संस्कार भी यही हो जाए, तो उसे साक्षात् महादेव के दर्शन प्राप्त होते है और मुक्ति प्राप्त होती है ।         लेकिन कालांतर में बहुत सारे ज्ञान का लोप हो गया । लोग धीरे धीरे कर के यह भूल गए की उस क्षेत्र में माँ पार्वती अपने एक रूप में निवास करने लगी जिसे #मणिकर्णिका देवी कहा जाता है । इनके ही नाम से इस घाट का नाम भी #मणिकर्णिका घाट पड़ गया । मणिकर्णिका देवी का #ध्यान ये देवी स्वेत कमल के आसन पर
