Yoga in different contexts
Shakambari Navaratri
Shakambhari devi Incarnated
as to mitigate famine and severe food crisis on the Earth. She is also known as
Goddess of vegetables, fruits and green leaves and depicted with green
surroundings of fruits and vegetables.
According to the
scriptures, Shakambari Navaratri also has great significance like Gupta
Navaratri. Mata Shakambhari
(Shakambhari) is one of the incarnations of Goddess Durga. The description of which is found in the
Puranas like Skanda Purana, Markandeya Purana, Bhagavata etc. On these days of Navratri,
mythological deeds are performed, especially Mata Annapurna is practiced. It is
mentioned in the Puranas that Devi took this incarnation when the creation of
demons caused a famine in the creation. The goddess then appeared in Shakambhari form. He had 1,000 eyes in this form. When she saw the very pathetic form of her
devotees, she kept crying for 9 consecutive days.
The tears
that came out of his eyes while crying caused famine and greenery enveloped all
around. Goddess Durga has the form
of 'Shakambhari', who had a thousand eyes, hence Mother is also called
'Shatakshi'. Shakambari Navratri begins
on Ashtami and ends on Purnima in Paush month.
Navaratri is an annual awakening
Navaratri is an annual awakening - call to
experience and express afresh the divine nature, to make manifest the light of
truth and love in order to vanquish and conquer the forces of evil within. The
Divine Mother represents the triumph of the divine power over the dark forces
of negativity. In the struggle between the dual factors of good and evil, truth
and untruth, virtue and vice, freedom/evolution and involution, light and
darkness. The occasion of Navaratri, therefore, is a reminder to the
householders as well as aspirant of the great cosmic law that the divine will
always prevail ultimately over the un-divine. It is the time of living worship
that truly transforms and spiritualises you more quickly and leads you on to
the highest realisation.

BHAIRAV JAYANTI
Bhairava is a fierce manifestation of
Shiva associated with annihilation. Generally in India, Bhairava is also called
Dandapani (as he holds a rod or Danda to punish sinners). Bhairava originates
from the word bhīru, which means "fearful". Bhairava means
"terribly fearful form". It is also known as one who destroys fear or
one who is beyond fear. There is also another interpretation: Bha means
creation, ra means sustenance and va means destruction. Therefore, Bhairava is
the one who creates, sustains and dissolves the three stages of life.
Therefore, he becomes the ultimate or the supreme. Bhairava himself has eight
manifestations i.e. Ashta Bhairava. The Ashta Bhairavas control the eight
directions of this universe. Each Bhairava has seven sub Bhairavas under him,
totaling 64 Bhairavas.
• Asithaanga Bhairava
• Ruru Bhairava
• Chanda Bhairava
• Krodha Bhairava
• Unmattha Bhairava
• Kapaala Bhairava
• Bheeshana Bhairava
• Samhaara Bhairava
other popular Bhairavas form are - in
The Rudrayamala Tantra- Batuk bhairav, Swarnnakarshan Bhairav-the benevolent
form , Kaal, Bhairav etc
Kala Bhairava is known as the Guru of
the planetary deity Shani/ Saturn. It is said that Shiva allocated the job of
guarding each of the 52 Shaktipeeths to one Bhairava. There are said to be 52
forms of Bhairava, which are considered a manifestation of Shiva himself.
Krishna paksha Ashtami of Margshirsha / Agahan is celebrated as Bhairav
Ashtami. In Buddhism also Bhairava (Tibetan: 'Jigs byed; Chinese: Buwei) is
worshipped as a deity and a dharmapala or dharma protector. The VijƱÄna
Bhairava Tantra is a key text for Bhairava & Bhairavi, which talk about
Tantric meditation methods and the way to realization of the highest reality.
The worship of this form of Lord
Shiva does not cause fear of death and all the sufferings of life go away. It
is believed that by worshiping them one can get rid of diseases and any kind of
enemies.

RAMA
"RAMA" the akshra 'Ra' represents
light or knowledge and the 'Ma' manas the individual self, so Rama means
limited self/a man in search of real
knowledge . Lord Rama's life is symbol of purity and duty. Every year the
celebration of Rama Navami is an effort
needed to transform the nature, personality, mental, emotional behaviour
with the goal of attaining purity to realize the self. The catalyst to bring
out the inner purity and strength is faith, bhakti and conviction. Happy Rama
Navami Jay Shri Rama...

Samskaras
Samskaras are latent impression in our
consciousness. Just as a passport is a record of travel, samskaras are a record
of the soul's travel thorough life. They are destructive and constructive
impressions of our life on the pages of consciousness book. Similarly the DNA
helix does not only carry the genetic impression but the impressions and memories of our soul's
journey of many lifetimes, which is not known to us completely. Most of us
carry or hold the negative impression easily but not the impression of love,
care and nurturing. Destruction is what we easily identity with, only very few
people identify with construction and beauty of life. These samskaras dictate
our behaviour and force one to act at different times, events and people. The
best time to sow the seeds of positive and constructive samskaras is in our
childhood. But by being aware anytime and at any age/stage of life, one can work through these and do the cultivation of new set of samskaras.

Akshya Tritiya
Akshya Tritiya : falling on 7th May of this
year, which is the Vaishakh mah shukla paksha tritiya tithi. Akshya the imperishable aspect of the
creation the Devi/Matri who is the force behind this universe. In Devi
Bhagavatam it says that: "If Shiva be deprived of Shakti, He becomes a lifeless corpse. She is
present everywhere, in everything, in this universe, from highest Brahma to the
lowest blade of grass. Verily, everything becomes quite inert, if deprived of
force. You are in all aspects. The entire universe is manifest in you. Oh
universal mother, at thy feet I bow. 'Shakti Tatiya'. This festival is
dedicated to remind us the 'Akshya' power of her. We realized the necessity of
energy and strength for survival and self-protection, collectively and
individually in the daily pursuit of life. Through energy and strength we
gained respect, honour and acclaim in society. Energy dispelled the darkness of
ignorance and opened wide the door to vast realms of knowledge and many dormant
faculties. With energy and knowledge we achieved success in all material and
spiritual endeavours. Happy Akshya Tritiya
