रोग क्यों होता है?

प्राकृतिक ढंग से जब मानव, करता आहार विहार नहीं. 

जब प्रकृति अवज्ञा करता है, अरु प्रकृति उसे दरकार नहीं. 

तब उसे स्वस्थ रह जाने का, रहता कोई अधिकार नहीं. 

फिर उसका कोई भी सपना, है हो पाता साकार नहीं. 

शारीरिक वात पित्त और कफ़, यह ही त्रिदोष कहलाते हैं. 

त्रिदोष विषमता आते ही, मानव रोगी हो जाते हैं. 

हम किसे चिकित्सा कहते हैं, त्रिदोषों में समता लाना. 

मन्दाग्नि से ही होता है, रोगों का पैदा हो जाना. 

जिस घर में तुलसी होती है, उस घर में वैद्य न आता है. 

यह चलता फिरता अस्पताल, वास्तव में प्रिय गौमाता है. 

मानव शरीर कफ़ पित्त वात से, सदा प्रभावित पाते हैं. 

काया के सारे रोगों में, यह ही त्रिदोष दिखलाते हैं. 

कफ़ सदा मनुज वक्षस्थल के, ऊपरी भाग में रहता है. 

कफ़ ही से तो मस्तिष्क और सर सदा प्रभावित रहता है. 

मल मूत्र द्वार के ऊपर अरु, जो उदर भाग में रहता है. 

त्रिदोषों में दूसरा दोष, है पित्त - चरक यह कहता है. 

तीसरा रोग है वात वायु, सारे शरीर में भ्रमण करे. 

जब यह संतुलन बिगाड़े तो, मानव रोगों में रमण करे. 

यह बात नियंत्रित होते ही, हर रोग नियंत्रण पाता है. 

यह चलता फिरता अस्पताल, वास्तव में प्रिय गौमाता है.

Navadurga – Nine Forms of Goddess Durga

Navadurga, or Navdurga, are the nine forms of Durga collectively worshipped by Shakti devotees. Scriptures differ in naming the nine incarnations. Pictures and paintings of the Nava-Durga also varies from region to region. The most widely accepted account of the nine forms of Durga is the one found in the Devi Mahatmya– Sailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skanda Mata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, Maha Gowri and Siddhidayini. The nine forms of Durga are worshipped during the nine days of Navratri.

Sailaputri or Shailaputri – In this form Durga is two-armed and carries a trident and lotus. Her mount is an ox or bull. Sailaputri is believed to be the rebirth of Sati, the daughter of Daksha and the wife of Lord Shiva. In her second birth she is Parvati, the daughter of Himalaya and later she became the consort of Shiva. This is one of the very first forms of Shakti and is closely associated with Lord Shiva. Shailaputri is worshipped on the first day of Navaratri.

Brahmacharini – In this form Durga is two-armed and carries a rosary and sacred water pot (Kamandalu). She is in a highly pious and peaceful form or is in meditation. This form of Durga is related to the severe penance undertaken by Sati and Parvati in their respective births to attain Lord Shiva as husband.

Chandraghanta is worshipped on the third day of Navarathri.

Kushmanda – In this form Durga is eight-armed and rides on a tiger. She holds kamandalu, bow, arrow, lotus, pot containing wine, disc, rosary and a club.

Kushmanda form of Durga is worshipped on fourth day of Navratri.

Skanda Mata – In this form Durga is four-armed and rides on a lion. She carries lotus, kamandalu (pot) and bell. Her one hand is in blessing posture.

Navaratri Story
The story associated with Navratri can be found in various Hindu religious texts like Markandeya Purana, Vamana Purana, Varaha Purana, Shiva Purana, Skanda Purana, Devi Bhagavatam and Kalika Purana. The story of Navratra is the symbolic message of the fact that however glorious and powerful the evil become, at the end it is the goodness that wins over all of the evil. The story is associated with Maa Durga and Mahisasura, the buffalo headed demon.

The story begins from the life of two sons of Danu called Rambha and Karambha who performed austerities by to gain extreme power and authority. When their prayers became deeper and austerities became exceptional, the King of the heaven God Indra got perturbed. Out of fear, he killed Karambha. Rambha, who came to know about his brother’s death, became more stubborn to win over the Gods. He increased the intensity of his austerities and finally got several boons from gods like great brilliance, beauty, invincibility in war. He also asked a special wish of not being killed by either humans or Gods or Asuras.

He then considered himself immortal and started freely roaming in the garden of Yaksha where he saw a female-buffalo and fell in love with her. To express his love, Rambha disguised in the form of a male-buffalo and copulated with the female buffalo. However, soon after that a real male buffalo discovered Rambha mating with the she-buffalo and killed him. It was due to Rambha’s inflated ego that killed him, out of which he has not asked his death to be spared from the wrath of animals. As the pyre of Rambha was organized, the female-buffalo, who was copulated with him jumped into the funeral pyre of Rambha to prove her love. She was pregnant at that time. Thus, demon came out of the with the head of a buffalo and human body and he was named Mahisasura (the buffalo headed demon).
Mahishasura was extremely powerful. He defeated the gods and the demons and acruierd power over the entire world. He even won over the heaven and threw devtas outside it. He captured the throne of Indra and declared himself to be the the lord of the gods. The gods led by Brahma approached Vishnu and Shiva and evaluated them of the situation. In order to save the Gods, the three supreme deities emerged a light of anger, which combined to the take the shape of a terrible form and this was Durga. All the gods then granted this Goddess of power with all the supreme weapons they had. This is why; Durga is called the brilliance of all the Gods.

When the goddess was seen by Mahishasura, he was mesmerized by her beauty. Her then fell in love with her and proposed to marry her. The goddess said she will marry him, if he defeated her in the battle. Then began a scary and terrible battle between both of then which continued for nine days. Finally, on the last day, Durga took the form of Chandika and stood over the chest of Mahishasura and smashed him down with her foot. She then pierced his neck with her spear and cut off his head off with her sword. It is the day when Vijayadashmi is celebrated.
