Maa Shailputri Seated on Nandi | Navratri Day 1 Blessings

More about this lovable image:

Maa Shailputri, jinka naam hi unki pehchaan hai - 'Shail' yaani parvat (mountain) aur 'Putri' yaani beti. Yeh Devi Parvati ka hi pehla aur sabse mool roop hain, jo Parvat Raj Himalaya ki beti hone ke kaaran Shailputri kehlayi. Navratri ke pehle din inhi ki puja aur aradhana ka vidhan hai. Inka swaroop ek tapasvini aur ek maa, dono ka adbhut mishran hai. Woh jitni shant aur saumya dikhti hain, utni hi shaktishali aur dridh (determined) hain. Unka charitra humein sikhata hai ki sthirta aur shakti, shaanti mein hi niwas karti hai, bilkul ek parvat ki tarah. Unke is roop mein, woh prakriti ki saari shaktiyon ko apne andar samete hue hain. Jaise ek parvat sab kuch sehta hai aur phir bhi atal rehta hai, waise hi Maa Shailputri apne bhakton ko jeevan mein sthirta aur himmat pradaan karti hain. Bhagwan Shankar ki patni ke roop mein, woh prem, samparan aur tapasya ki pratimurti hain. Unki upasana se manushya ke mooladhar chakra ka jaagran hota hai, jisse unhe adhyatmik unnati ka marg milta hai. Devotees unki pooja isliye karte hain taaki unke jeevan mein sukh, saubhagya aur arogya ka vaas ho. Woh apne bhakton ke saare kasht har leti hain aur unhe manovanchhit phal deti hain. Unka vahan Vrishabh (bail) hai, jo dharma aur sthirta ka prateek hai. Is roop mein Devi ne apne ek haath mein trishul aur dusre haath mein kamal ka phool dhaaran kiya hai, jo shakti aur komalta ke santulan ko darshata hai. Unki puja se hi Navratri jaise maha parv ka shubharambh hota hai, aur unki kripa se hi bhakton ko aage ke aath dino ki sadhana karne ki shakti milti hai. Woh sirf ek devi nahi, balki woh adhyaatmik anushasan aur atal nishtha ka jeeta jaagta prateek hain, jo har bhakt ko inspire karti hain.
