Shri Radhe Maa - Mother to all


 
By Sanjeev Gupta 

In rendering service to you if I have made any errors, forgive me Mother because one hears of bad sons but never of a bad mother.
Shri Adi Shankaracharya   

Shri Radhe Maa
 As we busy ourselves with the duties assigned to us for Devi Maa’s Shobha Yatra in Jalandhar on 31st March, we look forward to the big day with joy in our hearts. With the number of devotees increasing over the years, one hopes that one’s seva manages to smoothen their way when they come for Devi Maa’s darshan. 


Devi Maa laughs when I express my concerns to her. "Why," she argues, "should devotees interrupt their seva? You do your job. I am a mother and everyone is a son or daughter to me. I am the sun that shines on the dog, the beggar and the king with the same intensity. I do not discriminate."

 
Devi Maa is looking forward to the visit to Jalandhar. She sees it as an opportunity to serve the presiding deities of Devi Talab Mandir – Maa Kali and Lord Shiva. The two are honoured as Shri Tripuramalini and Lord Bhishan Bhairav in the temple, which is a celebrated Shakti Peeth.

Shri Radhe Maa - Shobha Yatra

Devotees of Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa across the world are looking forward to a big event in the days ahead  – 31st March 2012. This is when Devi Maa’s devotees in Punjab attend a grand Shobha Yatra (Glory Procession) at the Shakti Peetha Devi Talab Mandir in Jalandhar, India. 

The temple, which is located a kilometer from Jalandhar railway station, is in the heart of the city. The presiding deity of the Devi Talab Mandir temple is Maa Kali in her aspect as Tripuramalini who rules the city with her consort Lord Shiva who is present as Bhishan Bhairav.  

The puranas state that Maa Sati immolated herself after her father Daksha insulted her husband Lord Shiva.  This enraged Lord Shiva who opened his terrifying third eye and danced a fierce tandava across the earth with the body of his beloved Sati in his arms. 

The gods afraid that the Lord’s anger would destroy the universe sought the assistance of Lord Vishnu who dispatched his all-powerful discus – Sudarshan Chakra – to cut Sati’s body into pieces.  Every spot that received a portion of Maa Sati’s body became in the ages that followed a place of worship for devotees of the Goddess. Each of these spots is honoured as a Shakti Peetha by devotees of the Goddess who are also referred to as Shaktas. The Devi Talab Mandir has the distinction of being one of the 51 prominent Shakti Peethas on the subcontinent. The temple marks the spot that was blessed with Maa Sati’s right breast. 
  
The venue of the Shobha Yatra is special for Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa who recommends the worship of Lord Shiva and Maa Jagadambika as the supreme antidote for all ills worldly as well as spiritual, and is herself a committed devotee of Devi and Lord Shiva. The Shobha Yatra is also special for sevadars of Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa who are also devotees of Maa Parashakti and Lord Shiva enshrined in the Devi Talab Mandir as Shri Tripuramalini and Bhishan Bhairav. 
Shri Radhe Maa - Shobha Yatra

Please be present at the Shobha Yatra procession and benefit from the boundless mercy of Maa Uma who never fails those who serve her with love and devotion. Jai Mata Di.

Shri Radhe Maa - Leela-Amrut- Best gift ever !

Shri Radhe Maa - Vachan Amrut

Arjun Sachdeva ‘s story - How my wife concieved after 11 years of marriage

Shri Radhe Maa
I ran a successful bicycle business in Ludhiana, Punjab. I possessesed almost everything a man would wish for. I had a loving family, good health, a flourishing business, and a comfortable bank balance. The only thing that was missing in the happy picture was a child. Eleven years had passed since my marriage but my wife had been unable to concieve. We tried doctors, we did rounds of various temples and dargahs. Nothing worked. I did not worry too much about not having a child for the first few years of marriage. However, with the passage of time, relatives began to talk, and it was painful. My 92-year-old grandmother said she wanted to play with her great grandson before God called her.

The pressure began to get to me. I wanted to be a father too. We renewed our visits to doctors, vaidyas and hakims. When nothing worked we started visiting temples, mosques and churches that had a reputation for solving the problems of people in our situation. I began to wonder if God had decided to ignore our prayers, and I got fed up of looking for a way out.

Shri Radhe Maa
It was when I almost gave up in frustration that Devi Maa 'called' me into her sangat. Someone suggested that I attend Devi Maa’s jagran. To begin with, I was in no mood for any more visits. However, my wife reasoned that there was no harm in doing so.We had been to so many places and had prayed at every door. What, she asked, was the harm in attending the jagran. I saw merit in her words and agreed. 

At the jagran, I was as touched by Devi Maa's swaroop as I was by the devotion of the sangat. Many devotees had experienced miracles in their lives. Hope rose in my heart when I heard their stories. I also experienced a profound peace. I decided to attend more chowkies in the days ahead. At the chowkies, I felt the joyful energy that surrounds Devi Maa at all times. I understood what devotees mean when they say Devi Maa has the power to change lives through her drishti. I felt the power in her eyes working in my life.      

A few months later my wife concieved.Every member of our family rejoiced when we shared the news with them. A few months later, a son was born to us. This is but one miracle of many that Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa has worked in my life. 
Blessed indeed are we to have such a loving mother. 

Jai Mata Di! Jai Shri Radhe Maa!

Shri Radhe Maa - Leela Amrut - Miracle on Day 41



Shri Radhe Maa
I will never abandon you  - Shri Radhe Maa - Vachan Amrut
   
By Sanjeev Gupta

Shri Radhe Maa
Vishal Sareen’s (Mintu) story: Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa ordered me to visit Gurudwara Sahib for 41 consecutive days. I did not know why Devi Maa should order me to do so out of the blue but I would not dare to disobey her orders. I knew there had to be a reason. It was just that I did not know it yet. Religiously, for 41 days, I visited the local Gurudwara Sahib in Sydney.

On the 41st day, after I was done paying my respects at the Gurudwara Sahib, I got into my car and began my drive home.  After driving some distance, I decided to change lanes so I could driver faster. As I attempted to turn left, the car that was moving ahead of me, braked to a halt. I had braked and my car had stopped but not before the two cars collided at a speed of over 100 KMPH. I closed my eyes and prayed to Devi Maa in the fraction of the second when I realised that I was about to die.

Then, I opened my eyes.

Both the cars had stopped.   

We got out of our cars to examine the damage. I had no injuries beyond a few scratches. Surprisingly, even the driver in the other car was not hurt. A couple of dents were all our cars had suffered.

I realised that I had witnessed a miracle. The advice to pray at the Gurudwara Sahib for 41 days made sense now. Devi Maa had warded off an inevitable disaster and saved my life.

The incident reinforced what I had always believed – Devi Maa is all-knowing. She not only knows the fate that awaits her devotees, she also shows them the way to face hard times with a prayer on their lips.

It was also striking that when Devi Maa saw troubles looming large over me, she did not ask me to offer her worship but directed me to the Gurudwara Sahib, and asked me to pray to God. When I thanked her for the miracle she smiled and said that it was God who accomplished everything, and therefore it was God whom I should thank.   
              

As spoken to Satish Purohit

Vishal Sareen lives in Sydney, Australia, where he runs RM Technology, a computer peripherals and networking business with his brother. He along with two other devotees hold chowkies regularly to glorify Maa Jagdambe in their homes. Email him on vishalsreen28@gmail.com to know more.

Shri Radhe maa - LeelaAmrut - A bank guarantee gone wrong


  
How Devi Maa helped her devotee who was betrayed by a trusted friend 

By Purshottam Kohli
  
I grew up in a spiritual environment, which made me a God-fearing man. My wife and children are also spiritually inclined. Eleven years ago, in 2001, our neighbor, who had also become a good family friend over the years, took a big loan. When he said that the bank required a guarantor, we agreed to help, and my son became guarantor for the loan. He had not given us any reason to suspect his character. However, a few days after he took the loan, our neighbor fled the city. A few months later, the bank's officers approached us and asked our son to clear our neighbor’s dues. We realized that we had been betrayed. We asked the bank's officers why they would not confiscate his house and clear the amount due. The officers informed us that real estate rates had fallen and there was no way they could recover their outstanding by selling the flat. We were the guarantors. We had to pay up. 

We panicked. 

We had extended a helping hand to a friend and what a heavy price we were being made to pay for it. We moved the court for relief. The case dragged on for six-years without any result. The bank kept revising the outstanding by adding the burden of interest to the principal outstanding. The frequent trips to the court along taxed us heavily. It left us tired, and drained and also burnt a hole in our pockets.
The turn of events left the entire family stressed. I prayed to God and was beginning to despair because there appeared to be no end in sight. The amount in question was too large for us to pay. We feared not just monetary loss but the loss of face.  
Around that time, I came in Devi Maa's sharan. She was our last hope. We prayed to her to relieve us of our burden.

There was a chowki at Radhe Maa Bhavan on the night of 22nd November that year. I went for Devi Maa’s darshan with the burden of my woes on my heart. Sometime in the evening, the dam of my patience collapsed. I wept bitterly. I began to pray to Devi Maa in my mind. I petitioned her for help as I walked into her gufaa. She was watching me. As I prayed, she glanced at me with her caring and motherly eyes.  She conveyed through her gestures that I should leave everything to her. She would do what was required. I should not worry, her eyes told me. I felt a flood of relief wash over me. I was convinced that she would find a way out.
Two days later, a bank official came to visit us. He simply handed me all our confiscated documents and papers and apologised for the trouble his company had caused us. He told me that the bank had managed to get a fair value for the mortgaged flat, and had decided to forfeit the loan amount. I did not owe the bank a single paisa. 

I realised the power of faith in Devi Maa and thanked her for her grace. Nothing is impossible for the devotee who believes in Mamtamai Shri Radhe Maa. Everything changes once one believes.   

I owe my life to Devi Maa.
