Varalakshmi Pooja

Relish the Pooja!



Sometimes intense living does not need any words to express! So the Gap...fully relishing life! Our ancestors are really great having artistically tasted life in all aspects! The pooja when we really involve ourselves unfolds beautifully as a celebration of divine love! Goddess Mahalakshmi...beautiful & intense sattvic energy...the Divine Heart... manifests when you invite HER with love and everything that happens will be a miracle!. I started this Pooja with intense love to do it and carried away by the energy..it is as though the pooja happening spontaneously without effort! One of my Flat neighbour expressed...you do it methodically unlike others...to which I replied...I never know any method...what all I love to do I do!Really Intense love draws the divine like a magnet! It is all powerful!



And to my Home Assistant( I am not comfortable in calling any one as servant maid because all are servants to Divine alone) I said...never expect anything from me..but with intense devotion if you pray it will manifest because I keep this house as a temple of LORD! You know she was desiring to get a gold mangalsutra for one gram and in one of the house where she was working, the lady got her on Varalakshmi Pooja day came to our house and gave it to her after keeping it in front of the Goddess. She was overwhelmed with this event! This is not a miracle to say...life itself is miraculous which we are unaware! Not very big penance nor chanting mantras nor performing austerities & rituals which gets us near to God. But simple love...childlike love...complete surrender...it is more than enough! Live in HIM! Nothing is impossible. Iam just a householder with a kid living very ordinary life! When even I could experience the miraculousness of life...it is possible for each and every one of us!





You know I started this pooja with a eversilver kalasa...Next year my mother gave me a small brass kalasa ..with which I performed pooja! Next year there was Kumbabishekam in the nearby temple and I had a dream of giving money for it. I gave money for kumbabishekam and I got a kalasa from them it is big brass kalasa! Next year without my knowledge my husband gave for Paal kudam...(Milk) to one of Sakthi temple from where came a big copper kalasa. Everything spontaneously arrived at right time and now I keep silver kalasa! And you know the very first time when I performed the pooja with intense love I invited only two three people.I had bought eight blouse bits thinking of offering it to Ashta Lakshmis'. And to my wonder eight women came including unexpected people... not one more or one less and I could feel the real blessing of the Goddess!



No word could fill this page fully and I could keep on writing but let me have a stop...! Perform even a simple thing with intense love and devotion....which alone takes you face to face with the CREATOR!
