Speech of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji after Swarna Gowri Puja at Vijayawada Ashram – December 26, 1997 – Vijayawada

The origin of everything in the Universe is the Divine Mother. She has several celestial forms like Raja Rajeshwari, Gowri etc.,

Rukmini and Seetha also performed Gowri Puja. The splendor of the Mother is beyond the description of words. The specks of Kumkum are inseparable. A fist full of Kumkum are countless in number. Each such speck has crores of forms. Each such form has three aspects. Such is the limitless splendor and magnanimity of the Mother. Your are lucky in performing this Puja this year. Last year you worshipped Lakshmi Puja. Today you did Puja for Swarna Gowri. Next year, you are likely to worship Saraswati. You and your progeny can perform Swarna Gowri Puja now onwards.

Indrani performed Swarna Gowri Vrata and prayed to the Mother to releive the sorry plight of Indra her ( Indrani’s consort). However on first getting relief she forgot to worship and make the promised offering. Hence Indrani was disfigured ,lost her lustre and was roaming about in the forest. She happened to see Katyayini Vrata being performed by Gopikas of Goloka. They informed that they are worshipping Gowri. Offering various ornaments with a sense of mentally offerings their senses and sense powers . On listening to this Indrani also offered her senses to Gowri. Then she was blessed with her original form.

When Sri Swamiji was nine years old, Sri Swamiji went to Badri and saw Swarna Gowri Vratam at Sri Badari Narayan Ashrama and had Gowri Darshan. All problems disappear. Peace and plenty will be bestowed to the devotees.
