CHANDRA + GHANTA = LIGHT & BELL!

"The sound & light which dispels ignorance & darkness - Chandraghanta!"

Srimad Bhagavadgita clearly states that the Power & Presence that engenders life & activities, is within us.(verses 18.61,62.) There is no question of an outside agency remotely controlling the beings. The concept that God is distant & remote is thus summarily dismissed. The God that we invoke is verily within everyone of us.

The very purpose of our life in a human body & mind is...

... to solve the problem of life;

... to live in this world without being afflicted by sufferings and misfortunes that are be fallen on every one of us in some way or the other; 

... to live better and more harmonious with the Universal Will that is working in the nature, more precisely is to make us realize that the will which is now working through our bodies, is, in reality, a part and parcel of that Universal Will;

... to know how we can conquer the fear of death once for all without being frightened in the least;

... And above all, the chief object is to live the life of unselfishness, purity and perfection in this very life.

The mind has a tendency to be immersed/attached in the outer, visible world which can never be the source of real happiness. When we realize that the glamours of the outer world is temporary and illusive, we will start focusing on THAT which is ever-lasting and imperishable. Seeking anything from the outer world can not give us lasting contentment and peace.

For in craving pleasure or in nursing pain, there is only sorrow. Sorrow is an illusion. We all are perect beings. If we want our life to be different, stay indifferent to the glamours of the outer world. Those are fleeting and deceptive. Either running after or running away both are ignorance. Both are foolishness. When we get rid of desires by discriminating between the real and the unreal, then we do not remain a jiva anymore. We become eligible for liberation.

Prostrations to Mother Chandraghanta - the third manifestation of mother Durga, whose third eye is always opened and she always ready for war against demons of ignorance and darkness. SHE is believed to reward people with HER grace, bravery and courage. By HER grace all the sins, distresses, physical sufferings, mental tribulations and ghostly hurdles are eradicated.
