Many best wishes from Paras Bhai to all the members of Paras Parivaar for Shardiya Navratri 2024. This year, Shardiya Navratri is being celebrated from the 3rd to the 12th of October. According to the Hindu calendar, it begins on the Pratipada tithi of Shukla Paksha in the Ashwin month. This festival, which comes before Diwali, gives many reasons for curiosity to the devotees. Devotees get information about the nine forms of goddesses based on Navratri. In a country like India where the patriarchal system is very dominant, by worshiping the nine forms of goddesses, the daughters of the house are also given the status of Maa by offering them prasad. On this day, all the devotees worship Maa Durga by chanting Jai Mata Di. This is a very dignified and respectable act in itself.

There are different ways of celebrating Navratri all over India, from North to South India, there are different ways and processes of worshiping the nine forms of Maa Durga. While Shardiya Navratri has a different significance in Kolkata, it is celebrated with great joy in Gujarat. These nine forms of Durga Maa represent the divine forms of women. This gives rise to the feeling of respect for women. Mahant Shri Paras Bhai Ji meditates on all the forms of Maa with great enthusiasm on the occasion of every Navratri.

Fourth Goddess: Mata Kushmanda

The fourth day of Navratri is dedicated to Maa Kushmanda, the fourth form of Maa Durga. Maa Kushmanda is called the mother of the universe. Based on the Puranas, Mahant Shri Paras Bhai Ji also believes that Maa Kushmanda gave life to this lifeless universe through her smile. According to Hindu Mythology, before the Maa, there was only darkness in this Universe, after which this entire world was created by the faint smile of Maa Kushmanda. This is the reason why Maa Kushmanda is also known as Adishakti, and due to having eight arms, she is also called Ashtabhuja. Goddess Kushmanda created the Sun as well as the galaxies. With just her smile in the form of a flower, the Maa created this entire Universe. According to Paras bhai, it is believed that Goddess Kushmanda is the creator of this perfect Universe.

According to mythological beliefs, Maa Kushmanda loves the sacrifice of pumpkin (Petha), and in the Sanskrit language, it is called Kushmanda. Due to the creation of this egg-shaped Universe, this form of Maa Durga is known as Kushmanda. It is believed that the abode of Maa Kushmanda is the world inside the Sun. It is said that the radiance of Maa’s body is like that of the Sun, no goddess or god can face the brilliance of Maa Kushmanda.

Maa Kushmanda was incarnated to destroy the Demons and create the entire universe. According to Hindu Dharma Shastra and Paras Bhai Ji, Maa Kushmanda has seven weapons in her hands and a rosary of Siddhis in her Eighth Hand. These seven weapons are mace, conch, arrow, chakra, kamandal, bow and Amritkalash. It is said that by worshiping Maa Kushmanda with complete devotion, the mother bestows fame and strength to her devotees.

Mantra and Puja of Devi Kushmanda:

The nine-day unprecedented festival of Navratri is going to start on 3 October 2024, in which the nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshiped with great pomp. This festival is celebrated with immense joy across India. The joy and enthusiasm of Shardiya Navratri is even more among the devotees because Dussehra is organized on the tenth day i.e. after the end of Shardiya Navratri. It is believed that Lord Shri Ram killed Ravana on the day of Dashami, and Maa Durga also killed Mahishasura after a nine-day war. In these nine days, the Devas worshiped all the forms of Maa Durga. During the auspicious occasion of Navratri, devotees of Maa Durga also worship her nine forms and celebrate the magnificence of her power. Paras Parivaar Charitable Trust is sending you wishes on these Beautiful nine Days.

Story of Goddess Chandraghanta:

The form of Goddess Chandraghanta is described as extremely beautiful and auspicious in the Puranas and according to the knowledge of Paras Bhai Ji. Worship of Goddess Chandraghanta increases the social and material happiness of the devotees. Shardiya Navratri is a delightful season for devotees of Maa Durga, who enthusiastically chant her name, “Jai Mata Di.”

The story of Goddess Chandraghanta is very famous in the Puranas and Mahant Shri Paras Bhai Ji also said. In ancient times, when there was war and unrest between the Devas and demons, a demon named Mahishasura fought a fierce war with the Devas to capture heaven. The war ended with the victory of Mahishasura. After this, Mahishasura expelled the Devas from heaven and captured the throne of Devraj Indra. At this time, all the Devas were feeling helpless due to defeat. After which all the Devas went to Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh.

The Devas told Tridev how this demon named Mahishasura was spreading violence and unrighteousness in the world. The Devas said that the terror of Mahishasur is not allowing us to go to the Swarglok and Prithvilok. Hearing all these things from the Devas, the Tridev became angry, due to which a shining light came out of their mouth. After this light was absorbed together, a girl was born. After this, out of the Tridev, Mahadev gave his Trident, Lord Vishnu gave his Chakra, and after this all the Devas gave their weapons to Maa Chandraghanta. Lord Indra also bestowed his thunderbolt upon the Goddess.

The Goddess’s form was further enhanced after receiving weapons from all these Devas. Surya gifted Maa Chandraghanta his brilliance, a lion to ride, and a sword. Maa came to the battlefield after receiving her weapons from all the Devas. Mahishasur’s confidence started to waver after seeing Maa Durga’s huge form, but even after this, he asked his sena to attack the Goddess. The four directions resonated with the twang of the bow, the roar of Maa’s lion, and the loud sound of the Ghanta. This terrifying sound aided in the defeat of the demons, and Maa Chandraghanta earned the respect of the Devas by vanquishing them. After this, all the Devas regained their rights.

Paras Parivaar Charitable Trust : Fight with Intoxicants

Intoxication is one of the major problems in which youngsters are trapping more nowadays because it has become fashionable in the modern era.

About Mata Vaishno Devi Mandir in Katra, Jammu 

I visited Mata Vaishno Devi twice. This blog is about my firsthand experiences at the ancient Hindu shrine. Mata Vaishno Devi, the compassionate Mother Goddess, is claimed to grant all of a devotee's desires and wishes. Mata Vaishno Devi is also known as Mata Rani, Vaishnavi, Ambe, or Trikuta.

How was Mata Vaishno Devi formed?

According to Sanatan Dharm aka Hinduism, the powers of the Hindu Goddesses Maa Saraswati, Lakshmi ji, and Maa Kali have combined to become Mata Vaishno Devi during the Treta Yuga, the second Yuga.

Bhudevi, also known as Vasundhara or Bhumi, is the earth goddess. Bhudevi is also known as Sita ji's mother, as she was born on Earth in the Hindu epic Ramayana. Bhumidevi, the consort of Varaha, Bhagwan Vishnu's boar-like third avatar, is also called Varahi.

When Goddess Bhumi was afflicted by demonic spirits that had taken over the Earth, she sought help from the male trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh, but was unsuccessful. When the male trinity appeared weak, their consorts, the female trinity of Saraswati ji, Lakshmi ji, and Parvati ji (Maa Kali), stepped in to help.

The feminine trinity of Hindu goddesses combined their most potent characteristics and powers to create the new Goddess Mata Vaishno Devi. She waged war after war until she achieved victory. The trinity was so impressed by Vaishno Mata's powers that they offered her to remain on Earth and defend it permanently.

Why is Mata Vaishno Devi famous?

Mata Vaishno Devi is well-known for representing crores of people's faith. Throughout the year, crores of devotees visit Mata Vaishno Devi without the use of modern marketing techniques or advertisements. It is one of the most well-known Hindu temples in the world.

The Ramayana Connection of Vaishno Devi

Aside from the aforementioned Bhumi Devi connection between Vaishno Devi and Ramayan, she also has an intriguing story about Shri Ram, Vishnu ji's seventh and gentlest avatar. Much later, Mata Vaishno Devi reincarnated on Earth as the daughter of a Brahmin couple. She had always been a dedicated bhakt, or devotee, of Vishnu Bhagwan. She wanted to marry him when she grew up.

Mata Vaishno Devi would meditate in a cave for hours in order to grant her wish and impress Vishnu ji. Her tapasya paid off when Vishnu ji, as Shri Ram, appeared in front of her. Sri Ram asserted that he was unable to marry Mata Vaishno Devi because he was already married and was searching for his wife Mata Sita, whom the demon King or Asura Ravan had kidnapped and carried to Sri Lanka.  

When Ram ji saw her distress, he promised her that if she could recognise him, he would return to her and marry her one day. True to his word, Shri Ram, popularly known as Lord Rama in the West, returned to Mata Vaishno Devi as an elderly man. She did not recognise him, therefore they could not marry in Treta Yug. 

The Mahabharata Connection of Vaishno Devi

It is stated that before the great Mahabharat war at Kurukshetra began, Arjun prayed to Devi for blessings, as instructed by Shri Krishna, the 8th avatar of Vishnu Bhagwan. Devi was gratified by his devotion and revealed herself as Mata Vaishno Devi. Arjun recites the strotam 'Jambookatak Chityaishu Nityam Sannihitalaye'.

Before the ancient Kurukshetra battle began, Shri Krishna directed Arjun to visit Jammu and seek Maa's favor. In fact, it is widely accepted that the Pandavas built the first temples after Mahabharat at Bhawan and Kol Kandoli. The five stone structures on a mountain near Trikuta Hills represent the Pandeva's brothers.

How to reach Vaishno Devi?

Rail : Mata Vaishno Devi Mandir, a major Hindu sacred site, situated around 13 km from Katra Railway Station and Katra Town.

Air : The nearest airport to Katra is Jammu Airport, which is about 50 miles away.

Bus : Buses to Katra are easily bookable from Jammu. Easily you can book Buses with and without air conditioning are available.

Road Trip : You can travel from Jammu, Phagwara, or New Delhi via a smooth road, like we did. We traveled from Ghaziabad to Phagwara, where we spent two days before traveling to Mata Vaishno Devi. It was an enjoyable and safe road trip. However, be mindful that monkeys may be present on certain roads. 

Which famous people visited Vaishno Devi?

Swami Vivekanand, Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Mahant Shri Paras Bhai ji have visited Vaishno Devi.

Hinduism is also referred to as Sanatan Dharma in Sanskrit said to Mahant Shri Paras Bhai Ji. The word refers to an "eternal" or unchanging set of responsibilities and rituals that all Hindus, regardless of status, caste, or sect, must follow. These virtues include honesty, pacifism, purity, kindness, mercy, patience, self-control, and generosity.

Sanatan Dharma differs from Svadharma, which refers to individual duties depending on class, caste, and stage of life. When these two types of dharma come into conflict, such as a warrior's obligation to fight, Svadharma takes precedence.

The phrase dharma sanatan appears in classical Sanskrit texts like the Manusmriti and Bhagavata Purana. In the late 19th century, Hindu leaders and reformers revived the term to refer to Hinduism as a unified, transcendent and unchanging world religion.

Some key ideas in Sanatan Dharma include:

* Atman (the self) is the same as Brahman (the absolute divine).

*The universe is sacred and heavenly.

*Dharma, karma, moksha, and samsara are fundamental truths.

*Polytheism, idolatry, and several philosophical schools are permissible.

So in summary, Sanatan Dharma is a term used to denote the eternal, foundational principles of Hinduism, which are seen as universal and self-sustaining.

Origins and History

The Vedas, among Hinduism's earliest literature, are estimated to have been written around 1500 BCE, though they were transmitted orally much earlier. Sanātana Dharma is founded on ancient scriptures referred to as "heard" (shruti) by sages. These scriptures contain hymns, rites, and spiritual teachings.

The Upanishads, a collection of philosophical texts within the Vedas, expand on the ideas of Brahman as the ultimate impersonal reality and Atman as the soul. Understanding Sanātana Dharma requires these key concepts.

The term "Sanātana Dharma" appears in classical Sanskrit literature, notably the Manusmriti (c. 1st-3rd century CE) and the Bhagavata Purana (c. 8th-10th century CE). However, it gained popularity in the late nineteenth century, during the Hindu revivalism movement, as a way to refer to Hinduism as a religion without using the term "Hindu".

Sanatan Dharma in the 19th Century

Some Hindus refer to Hinduism as Sanatan Dharma, a Sanskrit term. It can be roughly translated as "eternal law" or "eternal religion". The term alludes to an "eternal" or unchangeable set of responsibilities and customs that all Hindus, regardless of social class, caste, or religious affiliation, observe. These qualities include restraint, tolerance, generosity, kindness, honesty, nonviolence, purity, and goodwill.

Modern Sanatanist activity in Punjab, for example, can be traced back to the career of Pandit Shraddha Ram, who defended certain religious practices like murti puja or idol worship against Arya Samaj ideas. Similarly, Pandit Din Dayal Sharma established the 'Sanatan Dharm Sabha' in the 1890s to promote these traditional practices.

The national body 'Bharat Dharma Mahamandal', which also emerged at this time, had as its first purpose "to promote Hindu religious education in accordance with the Sanatana Dharma". The Hindu Mahasabha also used this phrase to describe the Hindu religion.

बुध

बुध ग्रह को ग्रहों का राजकुमार माना जाता है। हिन्दू मान्यताओं के अनुसार बुध का जन्म चन्द्रमा और देवगुरु बृहस्पति की पत्नी तारा से हुआ। बुध व्यक्ति के ज्ञान को बढ़ाने वाला ग्रह है। यह ग्रह व्यक्ति को सोचने समझने में या किसी चीज की पहचान करने में और अपने विचार व्यक्त करने में मदद करता है। यह छोटा सा ग्रह है लेकिन तेज तर्रार ग्रह है। यह कन्या राशि में उच्च व मीन राशि में नीच के होते है। यह उत्तर दिशा का स्वामी है। सूर्य व शुक्र इसके मित्र हैं वहीं मंगल और चंद्रमा से शत्रुता रखता है। बृहस्पति और शनि इसके सम ग्रह हैं। जिन लोगों का बुध अच्छा होता है, वे संचार के क्षेत्र में सफल होते हैं। वहीं यदि जातक की कुण्डली मे बुध की स्थिति कमज़ोर होती है तो जातक को तर्कशक्ति, बुद्धि और संवाद में समस्या का सामना करना पड़ सकता है।

जानेमाने ज्योतिषी और महंत श्री पारस भाई जी ने कहा कि बुध ग्रह मस्तिष्क से संबंधित है। यह ज्ञान तथा बुद्धि देने वाला है जिससे हम एक सार्थक जीवन यापन करते हैं। मतलब वैदिक ज्योतिष में बुध को बुद्धि, गणित, तर्क, संचार और चतुरता का कारक माना गया है। कुंडली में बुध की सही स्थिति होने पर यह अपने से संबंधित घटकों के प्रभाव को बढ़ा देता है और सही स्थान पर न होने पर आपको संबंधित क्षेत्र में सचेत रहने की आवश्यकता है। बुध का स्थान ही दिखाता है कि व्यक्ति किस तरह से लोगों से संपर्क करता है और वह क्या बनना चाहता है। बुध ग्रह, जातक को किसी भी परिस्थिति में ढलने की कला देता है। बुध ग्रह मस्तिष्क से संबंधित है। यह ज्ञान तथा बुद्धि देने वाला है जिससे हम एक सार्थक जीवन यापन करते हैं। मतलब वैदिक ज्योतिष में बुध को बुद्धि, गणित, तर्क, संचार और चतुरता का कारक माना गया है। 

बुध एक तटस्थ ग्रह है इसलिए यह जिस भी ग्रह की संगति में आता है उसी के अनुसार ही व्यक्ति को इसके परिणाम मिलते हैं। बुध किस जातक पर क्या प्रभाव छोड़ेगा यह सब उस व्यक्ति की कुंडली पर निर्भर करता है। जातक की कुंडली में जिस स्थान पर बुध होगा वो स्थान बतायेगा कि वह जातक या व्यक्ति अपने गुणों का किस तरह इस्तेमाल करेगा। बुध ग्रह अपने गुणों के साथ-साथ जिस ग्रह के साथ बैठता है उसके भी फल प्रदान करता है। बुध महादशा 17 वर्ष की होती है। बुध प्रभावित व्यक्ति हास्य प्रेमी होते हैं और मजाक करना पसंद करते हैं।

ज्योतिष में 27 नक्षत्रों में से बुध को आश्लेषा,ज्येष्ठा,रेवती नक्षत्र का स्वामित्व प्राप्त है। बुध सफल व्यापार करने की क्षमता प्रदान करते हैं। यदि बुध ग्रह अच्छा होगा तो जातक कई भाषाओं का ज्ञाता हो सकता है। यह आकर्षक व्यक्तित्व के धनी होते हैं और वाणिज्य और कारोबार में सफल होते हैं।

बुध ग्रह मनुष्य के हृदय में बसता है। ज्योतिष के अनुसार बुध ग्रह का प्रिय रंग हरा है। रोमन पौराणिक कथाओं के अनुसार बुध वाणिज्य, चोरी तथा यात्रा का देवता है। ग्रीक भाषा में इसे परमेश्वर का दूत कहा गया है। बुध हमारे नाड़ी तंत्र को भी नियंत्रित करता है और व्यक्ति को अतिसंवेदनशील बनाता है। बुध ग्रह के अच्छे फल के लिए दुर्गा सप्तशती का पाठ करें और गणेश जी की आराधना करें। बुध कमजोर होने पर बुध यंत्र का उपयोग करें। दान करने से आपको फायदा मिल सकता है। सप्ताह में बुधवार का दिन बुध को समर्पित है।

बृहस्पति

ज्योतिष में बृहस्पति को गुरु के नाम से भी जाना जाता है। बृहस्पति को महाऋषि अंगीरा का पुत्र माना जाता है। ज्योतिष में बृहस्पति ग्रह कुंडली में स्थित 12 भावों पर अलग-अलग तरह से प्रभाव डालता है और इन प्रभावों का असर हमारे जीवन पर पड़ता है। महंत श्री पारस भाई जी के अनुसार बृहस्पति को बहुत लाभदायी ग्रह माना जाता है। यानि जातकों को इसके शुभ फल प्राप्त होते हैं। सभी ग्रहों में गुरु बृहस्पति सबसे उच्च और बड़ा ग्रह माना गया है यही वजह है कि बृहस्पति ग्रह को देवगुरु भी कहते हैं।यह धनु और मीन राशि का स्वामी होता है और कर्क इसकी उच्च राशि है वहीं मकर इसकी नीच राशि मानी जाती है। ज्योतिष के अनुसार बृहस्पति को बहुत लाभदायी ग्रह माना जाता है। यानि जातकों को इसके शुभ फल प्राप्त होते हैं। ज्योतिष शास्त्र के अनुसार सभी ग्रहों में गुरु बृहस्पति सबसे उच्च और बड़ा ग्रह माना गया है यही वजह है कि बृहस्पति ग्रह को देवगुरु भी कहते हैं। 

संतान सुख, वैवाहिक जीवन सुखी, मान सम्मान और धन दौलत आदि के लिए देव गुरु बृहस्पति ग्रह का मजबूत होना सबसे जरूरी बताया जाता है। गुरु को शिक्षा, अध्यापक, धर्म, बड़े भाई, दान, परोपकार, संतान, धार्मिक कार्य, पवित्र स्थल, वृद्धि, धन और पुण्य आदि का कारक माना जाता है। बृहस्पति ग्रह को स्वतंत्रता, सहनशक्ति और खुशहाली का ग्रह माना जाता है। जिस भी जातक की कुंडली में गुरु की स्थिति मजबूत हो तो वह जातक ज्ञान के क्षेत्र में हमेशा आगे होता है और इसके साथ ही उस व्यक्ति को जीवन में संतान सुख की प्राप्ति होती है। 

जिस व्यक्ति पर बृहस्पति ग्रह की कृपा होती है उस व्यक्ति के अंदर सात्विक गुणों का विकास होता है और वह व्यक्ति सदैव सत्य के रास्ते पर चलता है। बृहस्पति ग्रह को पीला रंग प्रिय है। कुंडली में यदि कोई भाव कमज़ोर है और उस पर गुरु की कृपा दृष्टि पड़ जाए तो वह भाव मजबूत हो जाता है। बृहस्पति ग्रह को किस्मत वालों के ग्रह के रूप में देखा जाता है। बृहस्पति ग्रह ही जीवन के धार्मिक पहलुओं, सफलता, खुशियों, सपनों, ज्ञान और योग्यता का प्रतीक है। ज्योतिष के अनुसार कुंडली में बृहस्पति की अच्छी स्थिति मनुष्य का भाग्य बदल देती है लेकिन यदि यह सही जगह न हो तो व्यक्ति को सतर्क रहने की जरूरत है।  

शुक्र

वैदिक ज्योतिष में शुक्र एक बेहद महत्वपूर्ण ग्रह हैं जो कि सप्तम भाव यानी कि पत्नी के भाव के कारक होते हैं। शुक्र वृषभ और तुला राशि के स्वामी होते हैं। महंत श्री पारस भाई जी ने शुक्र ग्रह के बारे में बताया कि जिस व्यक्ति की कुंडली में शुक्र अच्छे होते हैं वह व्यक्ति जीवन में भौतिक और शारीरिक सुख-सुविधाओं का लाभ उठाता है। शुक्र ग्रह को सबसे चमकीले ग्रह के रूप में जाना जाता है। जिस व्यक्ति की कुंडली में शुक्र अच्छे होते हैं वह व्यक्ति जीवन में भौतिक और शारीरिक सुख-सुविधाओं का लाभ उठाता है। यदि व्यक्ति विवाहित है तो उसका वैवाहिक जीवन सुखी व्यतीत होता है। वहीं यदि शुक्र कुंडली में कमज़ोर हो तो जातक को विवाह में अशुभ परिणाम मिलते हैं। जिन जातकों की कुंडली में शुक्र ग्रह का प्रभाव सकारात्मक रहता है यानी शुक्र ग्रह मजबूत होते हैं वे व्यक्ति बहुत ही सुंदर और आकर्षक होते हैं।

शुक्र विवाह, सौन्दर्य, प्रेम, रोमांस, संगीत, काम वासना, भौतिक सुख-सुविधा, पति-पत्नी,कला, प्रेमिका, मनोरंजन, करिश्मा, सुविधा, आरामदायक चीज़ों, फ़ैशन, वैभव और ऐशोआराम आदि का कारक होता है। 

यानि यह ग्रह आनंद, सामाजिक संबंधों, शादी और अन्य प्रकार की भागीदारी से संबंधित है। शुक्र हमें प्यार की कीमत और क्षमता का अहसास करवाता है। किसी व्यक्ति के जीवनसाथी के चुनाव पर भी शुक्र के स्थान का गहरा प्रभाव पड़ता है। हिन्दू मान्यताओं के अनुसार शुक्राचार्य को ऋषि भृगु का पुत्र माना जाता है। वे राक्षसों के गुरु हैं। शुक्र ग्रह मीन राशि में उच्च हो होते हैं वहीं कन्या राशि में नीच के हो जाते हैं। मीन राशि द्वादश भाव की राशि होकर शैया सुख को दर्शाती है यही वजह है कि शुक्र वहां उच्च होकर जीवन में अच्छे परिणाम देते हैं। कन्या राशि छठे भाव मतलब प्रतिस्पर्धा के भाव की राशि है इसी कारण शुक्र वहां नीच होकर अच्छे परिणाम नहीं देते हैं।
