African Hindus celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi with devotion

 

Several Ghanian Africans embraced the Hindu religion under the guidance of Swami Ghananada Saraswati of Ghana in the 1980s. Swami ji, an African himself, did not find answers given by Christian preachers who were engaged in spreading Christianity among his people.

His search brought him to Rishikesh where he studied the Hindu shastras and decided to become a Sanyasi in the lineage of Swami Shivananda of the Divine Life SOciety. 

Several Ghanian Hindus are second generation Hindus and were born into the faith! 

Let us join our Hindu brothers in Africa in wishing Lord Ganesha a warm farewell! Lord, come early next year! Ganpati  Bappa Morya!

A temple where Draupadi Mata is worshiped as Shakti

Draupadi

Hindu Shastras recognise Draupadi as one of the five pure women who deserve our reverence. It is believed that he who chants Draupadi's name along those of Ahilya, Sita, Tara and Mandodari (Ravana's wife) attains to liberation.

There are several temples in South India where Draupadi, the wife of the five Pandava brothers is worshipped. One such temple believed to be 300 years old is worshiped by people of Serugalathur and surrounding villages in Tiruvarur district of Tamil Nadu.

Draupadi Mata is worshipped in the temple as a manifestation of Shakti - the Supreme Feminine that expresses itself through all names and forms and is beyond them.

May Mata Draupadi of Serugalathur bless all her devotees with health, prosperity and happiness! Jai Mata Draupadi! Jai Yogeshwar Shri Krishna ki!

Why Maa's Tara's son Bamakhepa moved around naked

Tara Devi

Baba Bamakhepa (1837–1911), the great tantric master and devotee of Maa Tara would move around naked in the smashan where he worshipped Maa Tara. When he was asked why he moved around naked the great saint said, "My father (Shiva) is naked; my Mother (Maa Tara) is also naked. So I am practicing that. I have no shame and no fear.''

May the example of Bamakhepa, guide us to the lotus feet of Maa Tara whose is the star that guides seekers to liberation!

Bamakhepa Maharaj ki Jai! Jai Maa Tara!

Shri Radhe Maa - Mata Tara and her Mad son Bama Khepa

Tara Devi

The great son of Maa Tara, Bama Khepa (1837–1911), who was considered mad by many ate leftover food with dogs and jackals from the same leaf. He would also eat food that was meant to be offered to Maa Tara. The Brahmins of the temple, which was owned privately, were furious.

Bama Khepa was attacked. He was threatened and barred from entering the temple. "Maa Tara asks me to have the food in this manner," said Bama Khepa. A few days later, the owner of the temple had a dream. He saw Maa Tara, hear face filled with bruises, leaving the temple for Kailash in the Himalayas. "I have taken my mad son's blows on my face. You do not let my son eat, so I have decided that I will not eat anything offered here. How can a mother eat before feeding her child? You must let my son eat before you offer anything to me, or I shall leave this place," said Maa Tara.

Bama Khepa was made the priest of the temple and no one stopped him from eating food meant to be offered to the Goddess from that time.

May Maa Tara, the guiding star to all beings and mother of Bama Khepa, bless all her children with liberation!

Who is a Brahmin? A story from the Chandogya Upanishad

Jabala, a woman who was poor and had worked in the houses of several rich men, did not know who the father of her son Satyakama was. When it was time for Satyakama to gain an education, he asked him mother what he should tell the teacher about who his father was. "I have worked for many men and I do not know who your father is. All I know is that I am Jabala and you are my son Satyakama."

Satyakama innocent and trusting went to Rishi Gautama Haridrumata and requested him to accept him as a disciple. "Tell me about your family son," said the rishi.

Satyakama repeated what his mother had told him and added, "Sir, I do not know anything beyond this.

"My son, you speak the truth at all costs. You are a Brahmin," said Rishi Gautama and accepted Satyakama Jabala, the son of the truthful mother as his disciple.

It is not by birth that one becomes a Brahmin but by walking the path of truth.
