Came here to attend a wedding function at one relative's house. In the evening felt to visit Ma Sarada Devi Temple inside a college campus at Amaravathyputhur, about 10 kms on Rameswaram - Trichy National Highway way.
My scooter's battery was down. While Wondering how would I go to the Ma's Shrine, just then a relative called me and asked, "Anna, would you join me. I am going to Sarada Devi Temple for yagasala Puja?". What could I say?!
All Bhagava's wonder. I didn't tell him previously about my wish to go to the Temple. The கும்பாபிஷேகம் at this Temple is scheduled today.
Yet another wonder was awaiting at the Shrine.
When we reached the Shrine, in the front stage Ayya So.So.Mee was giving a lecture on Ma Sarada Devi. The Audience was in rapt attention. We didn't want to disturb, and went around to go inside the Shrine through the side entrance. Ma was decorated beautifully. After the prayer we sat inside itself for the lecture to be over before we headed to யாகசாலை space. Just then I looked up on the wall opposite Ma's sanctum above the door. The rare picture above stole my attention. Had been to quite number of Bhagavan -Ma- Swami Vivekanand 's Shrines. Nowhere did I remember having seen such a rare one like this picture. As you see, Bhagavan was doing Aarti Seva to Ma. The thing that struck my mind was that Bhagavan was giving a message, message that one should hold one's spouse a God equivalent.
My cousin Sister is an ardent devotee of Bhagavan - Ma - Swami Vivekanand. After yagasala daran just about to leave, she met me. I told her , 'jus walk inside, see that rare picture and what you feel like.".
As we were reaching the gate to get into the relative's to go back home, my sister came rushing, she explained it's Bhagavan doing sodasa puja to Ma whereby, Bhagavan offered All His Tapas Power to Ma. It's quite news, new to me.
On reaching home, Ai-ed to learn more. Here is the search result:
சோடசி பூஜை (சாரதா தேவி வழிபாடு)
ராமகிருஷ்ணரின் வாழ்க்கையில் சோடச உபசாரத்தின் உச்சக்கட்ட நிகழ்வு 1872 ஜூன் 5 அன்று நடந்தது.
அன்று அவர் தனது மனைவியான அன்னை சாரதா தேவியை ஒரு பீடத்தில் அமரவைத்து, அன்னை பராசக்தியின் வடிவமாக (சோடசி அல்லது த்ரிபுர சுந்தரி) கருதி வழிபட்டார்.
மலர்கள், சந்தனம் மற்றும் இதர 16 உபசாரங்களுடன் அவருக்குப் பூஜை செய்தார்.
பூஜையின் இறுதியில், தனது ஜபமாலை மற்றும் தனது வாழ்நாள் தவத்தின் பயன்கள் அனைத்தையும் சாரதா தேவியின் பாதங்களில் சமர்ப்பித்து, பெண்ணின் வடிவத்தில் தெய்வத்தை வணங்கித் தனது ஆன்மீக சாதனையை நிறைவு செய்தார்.
Our biological Ma always is unique, matchless,
Equal wonder is the Ma in the spouse.
I'd a given a humble contribution, which I didn't tell my best half, the Ma. Her expectation is at least I should inform her, not that I shouldn't. Respect her feelings.
From this rare, unique picture where Bhagavan celebrates Ma and hold Her in high regards, I'll learn. Learn to regard, respect.
Thanks 🙏 for patience to read this lengthy piece.
May Bhagavan -Ma Sarada Devi - Swami Vivekanand, all Their blessings be to all And Peace to this strained World.
