Feminine worship, mother worship is the unique contribution of the vedic tradition to the spiritual civilization.
All religions have mother worship in some way of the other. All religions have 2 part – one – spiritual nut and two spiritual fruit. Nut part is masculine based and fruit is devi worship. All spiritual group civilizations have this mother worship and that contribution that mother worship is from vedic civilization, vedic tradition. All the rivers, all the sacred things of nature everything is feminine for us. In the US all this cyclones and natural calamities are always named feminine. In Bharat we would have done opp. All sacred things of nature, we name it feminine. All the things and energy which creates we name it in a feminine way. So understand the mother worship is a great contribution to the spiritual civilization by the vedic tradition. My message for mother’s day is whatever you mother, you will become that. If you are mothering violence, anger, low self esteem you will become that. If you are mothering super consciousness, highest truths you will become that. So decide on mother’s day to mother cosmos in you. Start mothering cosmos. If you mother the cosmos, you will become mother of the cosmos. Continuously mother cosmic consciousness inside you by unclutching. Live these great truths by mothering it again & again. Mothering cosmos is what I call unclutching. Unclutching from ordinary things so that you can mother cosmos inside.
The essence of mother worship is mothering cosmos in you. I myself basically a shakta – mother worshipper. I became enlightened by the shakta tradition – mother worshipping. Because your whole bio-memory is through the mother. Always the energy expression happens only in mother worship. In all other bhaavaas it takes lot of time to experience the energy expression. Maatru bhaava makes the energy expression very quick and strong. You may be in the body of a female or body of a male but if you start mothering the cosmos inside you, you will become cosmic mother. The biggest problem I have is I cannot speak on all my favorite subjects! The moment I speak so much comes up huge traffic jam in the throat.
I will take up one aspect of mother tradition in vedic tradition. We have something called dasa mahavidya. There are different aspects of the feminine consciousness described here - Kali, tara, bhuvaneswari, chodasi, china masta, dhoomavati, kamalatmika, matangi – 10 different aspects or dimensions of the divine feminine consciousness is worshipped. If you see each from represents kali the principle of enlightenment. If you see her she is the embodiment of the cosmic causal body from where everything comes out. Dark colour and holding knowledge sword in one hand and the severed ego – head in another hand. Giving abhaya and varada and wearing many severed heads as a garland. If you continuously destroy your ego with the knowledge sword, it will come up with different diff heads. All the diff heads which are severed she wears as garland. And the final blow to ego, final head she holds in hand. Symbol of enlightenment when the ego is finally destroyed, cut from that head the sahasrara amrutha the knowledge nectar overflows – that is what all the dogs disciples are drinking. Abhaya is protection, varada is boon.
Giving abhaya and varada is Bharatn tradition. Kali is embodiment of abhaya and varada. This vedic tradition is Rama Sethu. Nobody can destroy it! Bhakti Hanuman is still protecting!! I am clear that even if I add a few sand particles like a squirrel it is enough. In this Rama Sethu, all masters are adding whatever they can like Jambavan and Angadha. Same way I will add like the squirrel. Tara, china masta all these are great expressions of diff aspects of enlightenment. Mother worship is a different tradition of enlightenment. It is not social law. Masculine part is always social based. But feminine part is enlightenment based. So whatever religion you may belong to, explore the feminine worship part of that religion. This is the key. All the traditions which have become monastic based, monk based, removed the mother component from the original source. I do not want that to happen to my tradition. That is why I put Devi in the lap itself and took care always Shiva is holding her. Because usually with the socio political laws, the masculine part takes over and feminine part is destroyed. I don’t want that in my tradition.
Mother worship is the source of enlightenment based spiritual tradition. Take this as my message. Mother the cosmos, you will become cosmic mother.
Blessings!
