വിശ്വനാഥ സ്വാമി ആരാധനാ ദിനം - 22-10-2025

2022 ഒക്ടോബർ 22-ന് ശ്രീ രമണാശ്രമത്തിൽ ശ്രീ വിശ്വനാഥ സ്വാമിയുടെ ആരാധന ഭക്തിപൂർവ്വവും ഗൗരവത്തോടെയും ആചരിച്ചു. ആശ്രമത്തിന്റെ ശാന്തമായ അന്തരീക്ഷത്തിൽ, അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ സമാധി ദേവാലയത്തിൽ അഭിഷേകവും ആരതിയും നടത്തി, തുടർന്ന് വേദപാരായണവും അക്ഷരമണമാല ജപവും നടത്തി, ശ്രീ ഭഗവാന്റെ കൃപയിൽ എപ്പോഴും മുഴുകിയിരുന്ന ഒരാളുടെ വിശുദ്ധ സ്പന്ദനങ്ങളും സ്മരണയും കൊണ്ട് പരിസരം നിറച്ചു.

അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ ജീവിതത്തെയും സേവനത്തെയും കുറിച്ചുള്ള ഒരു സംക്ഷിപ്ത വിവരണം

1921-ൽ പതിനേഴു വയസ്സുള്ളപ്പോൾ സ്കന്ദാശ്രമത്തിൽ വച്ചാണ് ശ്രീ വിശ്വനാഥ സ്വാമി ആദ്യമായി ഭഗവാൻ ശ്രീ രമണ മഹർഷിയുടെ ദിവ്യ സന്നിധിയിൽ എത്തിയത്. ദിണ്ടിഗലിൽ ജനിച്ച അദ്ദേഹം ബഹുമാന്യനായ അഭിഭാഷകനും ഭഗവാന്റെ മാതൃസഹോദരനുമായ ശ്രീ രാമസ്വാമി അയ്യരുടെ മകനായിരുന്നു. 1923-ൽ ഭഗവാൻ "ശ്രീ ദയം സമാധി കുടിലിൽ" താമസിച്ചിരുന്നപ്പോൾ, ഒരു ആന്തരിക ആഹ്വാനത്താൽ ആകർഷിക്കപ്പെട്ട യുവ വിശ്വനാഥ സ്വാമി ആശ്രമത്തിലേക്ക് മടങ്ങി, അന്നുമുതൽ അദ്ദേഹം തന്റെ ജീവിതകാലം മുഴുവൻ ആശ്രമത്തെ വാസസ്ഥലമാക്കി.

ബുദ്ധിയുടെ വ്യക്തതയും ഹൃദയശുദ്ധിയും കൊണ്ട് അഗാധമായ സമർപ്പണബോധമുള്ള വിശ്വനാഥ സ്വാമി ശ്രീ ഭഗവാന് അമൂല്യമായ സേവനം നൽകി, അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ പഠിപ്പിക്കലുകളുടെ സംരക്ഷണത്തിനും വിലമതിക്കാനാവാത്ത സേവനം ചെയ്തു. അഷ്ടാവക്രഗീത, തിരുച്ചുഴി പുരാണം, രമണഗീത എന്നിവയുൾപ്പെടെ ഭഗവാന്റെ പഠിപ്പിക്കലുകളുമായി അടുത്ത ബന്ധമുള്ള നിരവധി ആഴമേറിയ ഗ്രന്ഥങ്ങൾ അദ്ദേഹം തമിഴിലേക്ക് വിവർത്തനം ചെയ്തു. വചനാമൃതം എന്ന പേരിൽ പ്രസിദ്ധീകരിച്ച ശ്രീ രമണ മഹർഷിയുമായുള്ള സംഭാഷണങ്ങളുടെ തമിഴ് വിവർത്തനം, ഭഗവാന്റെ വാക്കുകളുടെ അർത്ഥത്തിലേക്ക് കൃത്യതയോടും വിശ്വസ്തതയോടും കൂടി അന്വേഷകരെ നയിക്കുന്നു.

അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ യഥാർത്ഥ രചനകളിൽ, ശ്രീ രമണ അഷ്ടോത്തരം (ശ്രീ രമണന്റെ 108 നാമങ്ങൾ) എന്നിവ വേറിട്ടുനിൽക്കുന്നു - ജീവചരിത്ര വിശദാംശങ്ങളും ആത്മീയ ഉൾക്കാഴ്ചയും കൊണ്ട് സമ്പന്നമാണ് ഇവ. ഭഗവാൻ തന്നെ ഈ കൃതിയുടെ കൃത്യതയെയും സമ്പൂർണ്ണതയെയും പ്രശംസിച്ചതായി പറയപ്പെടുന്നു.

വിശ്വനാഥ സ്വാമിയുടെ ആശ്രമത്തിലേക്കുള്ള സാഹിത്യപരവും എഡിറ്റോറിയൽ സംഭാവനകളും ഒരുപോലെ ശ്രദ്ധേയമായിരുന്നു. പല ആശ്രമ പ്രസിദ്ധീകരണങ്ങളിലും അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ മുഖവുരകൾ ലാളിത്യത്തോടും ആഴത്തോടും ആദരവോടും കൂടി എഴുതിയിട്ടുണ്ട്. 1973 മുതൽ 1979 വരെ, അദ്ദേഹം ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് ത്രൈമാസികയായ മൗണ്ടൻ പാത്തിന്റെ എഡിറ്ററായി സേവനമനുഷ്ഠിച്ചു, അവിടെ അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ എഡിറ്റോറിയലുകൾ - വ്യക്തത, ഭക്തി, ദാർശനിക ആഴം എന്നിവയാൽ അടയാളപ്പെടുത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നു - ഭക്തരുടെയും പണ്ഡിതരുടെയും പ്രശംസ നേടി.

പാണ്ഡിത്യത്തിനപ്പുറം, ആശ്രമത്തിൽ അറിവ് തേടിയെത്തിയ എല്ലാവർക്കും വിശ്വനാഥ സ്വാമി സൗമ്യനും കരുണാമയനുമായ ഒരു വഴികാട്ടിയായിരുന്നു. പുതുതായി വരുന്നവർക്ക്, ആത്മാന്വേഷണത്തിന്റെയും സമർപ്പണത്തിന്റെയും സാരാംശം മനസ്സിലാക്കാൻ അദ്ദേഹം ക്ഷമയോടെ ഭഗവാന്റെ ഉപദേശങ്ങൾ ലളിതവും വ്യക്തവുമായ രീതിയിൽ വിശദീകരിച്ചുകൊടുക്കുമായിരുന്നു.

1979 ഒക്ടോബർ 22-ന്, തന്റെ ജീവിതം മുഴുവൻ ശ്രീ രമണ മഹർഷിയുടെ സേവനത്തിനായി സമർപ്പിച്ച ഈ ഉത്തമ ഭക്തൻ ഒടുവിൽ ഗുരുവിന്റെ കമലപാദങ്ങളിൽ ലയിച്ചു. ആശ്രമ പരിസരത്ത് സ്ഥിതി ചെയ്യുന്ന അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ സമാധി, ഭക്തർക്ക് ശാന്തമായ പ്രചോദനത്തിന്റെയും ആദരവിന്റെയും ഒരു സ്ഥലമായി തുടരുന്നു.

ശ്രീ വിശ്വനാഥ സ്വാമിയുടെ ജീവിതവും മാതൃകയും സ്നേഹനിർഭരമായ സേവനം, നിശബ്ദമായ ധാരണ, ആത്മസാന്നിധ്യത്തിൽ ഉറച്ചുനിൽക്കൽ എന്നിവയുടെ ആദർശത്തെക്കുറിച്ച് നമ്മെ ഓർമ്മിപ്പിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കട്ടെ.

🌼 Ashram Deepavali Blessings 🌼
The Ashram lovingly wishes you and your dear ones a blessed and joyous Deepavali!
May this sacred Festival of Lights fill your home with peace, your mind with clarity, and your heart with divine love.
✨ The Radiance of Deepavali ✨
Deepavali — derived from the Sanskrit words Deepa (light) and Avali (row or array) — beautifully captures the essence of illumination. It reminds us to dispel the darkness of ignorance and ego, and to awaken the inner lamp of awareness.
This sacred day commemorates the moment when Narakasura, the embodiment of darkness and greed, was destroyed — symbolizing the triumph of light, purity, and truth. As lamps glow in every home and hearts rejoice in togetherness, we are reminded that the greatest victory is within — the conquest of the self by the Self.
🌸 Deepavali in the Ashram 🌸
In the stillness of dawn, our Ashram awakened to the joyful sounds of crackling firecrackers, humble prayers, and the fragrance of oil lamps adorning the sanctum. Devotees gathered with pure hearts, exchanging smiles, sweets, and blessings. Together we shared festive meals, chanted the Lord’s name, and offered gratitude for the light that guides us through every shadow of life.
Each lamp lit in the Ashram is not merely a flame — it is a symbol of inner transformation, the steady glow of awareness that dissolves ignorance, ego, and fear. It is a reminder that the real Deepavali shines within, when the light of knowledge dispels the night of illusion.
🕉 The Inner Light — In the Words of Sri Ramana Maharshi 🕉
Sri Ramana Maharshi revealed the deeper, spiritual meaning of Deepavali from the vision of Advaita, the oneness of all existence, by the following verses:
“The day that Narayana grinds to death the Naraka-ego in the quest of knowledge, inquiring whence the ‘I’ arises—that day is the true Festival of Lights.
To destroy the sinner, the false ego that identifies with the body, and to shine as the radiant Self — this indeed is Deepavali.”
In these profound words, Bhagavan reminds us that lighting the outer lamp symbolizes the awakening of the inner flame of Truth — the light that never flickers, the awareness that never fades.
🌺 Blessings for All Beings 🌺
As we celebrate this divine festival, let us remember to extend light and love to all — to those in need, to those who might be lost in life’s darkness, and to all living beings who share this world with us.
May every prayer, every lamp, every joyous song become an offering of gratitude to the Divine that dwells within and without.
May Deepavali not just illuminate your home, but your heart — awakening the eternal light of compassion, faith, and peace.
🌟 Ashram Deepavali Message 🌟
May this Deepavali usher in a year overflowing with inner light, harmony, well-being, and divine grace.
May the eternal flame of Truth burn bright in your hearts, guiding you through every step of the journey toward the Self.
Wishing you and your loved ones a blissful, luminous, and love-filled Deepavali — where light triumphs over darkness, wisdom over ignorance, and the soul over the shadow of the ego.
🪔 Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Ramanaya 🪔

Navaratri Celebrations - 01.10.2025 - Day 10 - Mahishasura Mardini
The Divine Mother manifests in her fierce and awe-inspiring form as the destroyer of Mahishasura, the formidable demon who relentlessly tormented the righteous and brazenly defied the cosmic forces of good. Mahishasura was a symbol of cruelty and cunning, infamous for his ruthless persecution of innocent beings and his audacious disrespect toward the Goddess herself—a grave act of hubris that marked the beginning of his inevitable downfall. Responding to this challenge, the Divine Mother unleashed her full divine power, transforming into a fearsome warrior whose strength and fury knew no bounds. With unparalleled might and celestial grace, she confronted Mahishasura, vanquishing him and his entire army in an epic battle that reverberates through the spiritual consciousness of devotees. This glorious victory is more than mythic lore; it stands as an eternal reminder of the triumph of righteousness over wickedness and the reinstatement of dharma, the cosmic order that sustains the universe.
Yet, beyond the literal narrative, the figure of Mahishasura carries profound symbolic significance. He represents the human mind when overtaken by negativity—those destructive emotions and thoughts like fear, doubt, pride, greed, and ignorance that obscure our true nature and pull us away from spiritual awakening. In this light, the Divine Mother’s battle with Mahishasura is not just a cosmic war but a sacred internal struggle. Through her infinite compassion and boundless wisdom, she confronts the inner demons that dwell within us all. By slaying these mental afflictions, she liberates her devotees from the shackles of illusion, guiding them to a deeper self-realization and awakening their latent spiritual potential. This inner transformation—the conquest of the lower self—is as momentous and essential as the external defeat of the demon, emphasizing the critical role of self-mastery and purification on the path to enlightenment.
The Divine Mother’s victorious, indomitable spirit is exquisitely celebrated in the Devi Mahatmyam, an ancient and revered scripture that exalts her divine power and compassion. Within its verses, celestial beings sing the ‘Aparājitā Hymn’—a magnificent tribute known as “Praise to the Eternally Undefeated Goddess.” This hymn encapsulates her unwavering strength, resilience, and her unceasing protection over her devotees. It proclaims her eternal victory over all forces of darkness and adversity, presenting her as a beacon of hope and inspiration for those who seek refuge and guidance. Through this text, she emerges not only as a fearsome destroyer of evil but also as a loving guardian and empowerer of those on the spiritual path.
As the vibrant nine-day festival of Navaratri draws to a close, the destruction of Mahishasura assumes a layered significance. It symbolizes more than just the defeat of malevolent external forces—it also represents the victory over the inner adversaries that every person must face in life. This climactic moment reaffirms the profound belief that with unwavering faith, heartfelt devotion, and the boundless grace of the Divine Mother, no obstacle—whether physical, mental, or spiritual—can ultimately prevail. The narrative encourages us to trust in her divine strength to overcome the challenges and darkness that appear along our individual journeys.
The culminating celebration of Navaratri is thus a deeply joyful and reflective occasion. Devotees come together with gratitude and reverence to honor the Divine Mother’s triumph, engaging in sacred prayers, intricate rituals, and jubilant festivities. It is a time to renew commitment to her guidance and draw inspiration from her unwavering power. Through her blessings, devotees find the courage and strength to pursue the path of righteousness, cultivate inner peace amid life’s trials, and awaken fully to their divine potential. This festival encapsulates the essence of transformation—the power of the Divine Mother to destroy ignorance, dissolve negativity, and illuminate the way toward liberation and spiritual fulfillment.
In honoring her victory, we celebrate the eternal dance of creation and destruction, light and shadow, reminding ourselves that the Divine Mother’s energy is the ultimate force that sustains, protects, and uplifts the cosmos and all beings within it.

The name Esha is deeply rooted in the symbolism of Adisesha (also known as Anantha), the thousand-headed serpent god upon whom Lord Vishnu reclines in a cosmic posture known as Seshasayana. In this divine depiction, Vishnu lies serenely on Adisesha, embodying eternal rest amidst the infinite cosmic ocean. This image carries profound spiritual significance, and the concept of Seshasayana can be interpreted in two essential dimensions.
To begin with, the term Sesha translates to “remainder” or “that which remains.” During pralaya—the great cosmic dissolution—when all creation merges into the primordial waters, only one entity persists: the Divine Mother. She alone stands as the ultimate, immutable reality, transcending both time and space. While the universe undergoes endless cycles of birth and dissolution, the Divine Mother, the origin of all creation, remains unchanged. Thus, one powerful interpretation of Seshasayana is that it represents the eternal, undissolved presence of the Divine Mother—the one who remains (Sesha) when all else fades into oblivion.
Adisesha, the thousand-headed serpent, symbolizes stability, support, and infinity. The image of the Divine Mother resting upon him is layered with spiritual meaning, signifying equipoise, permanence, and transcendence.
With his countless heads bearing the weight of the universe, Adisesha reflects the unshaken nature of the Divine Mother. Just as Vishnu reclines peacefully upon the serpent in the vast cosmic ocean, the Divine Mother remains untouched by the turbulence and fluctuations of the material realm. She is nirguna (beyond attributes), paratpara (the supreme of the supreme), and nirvikara (unchanging). She transcends all dualities—pleasure and pain, form and formlessness—and her essence is vast, beyond the reach of human cognition. Unaffected by the rise and fall of worlds and the endless cycles of creation and destruction, she embodies the ultimate transcendence over the material plane. Though she sustains the cosmos, she remains untainted by its impermanence.
As the eternal serpent, Sesha represents permanence and cosmic stability. In Hindu cosmology, Adisesha is believed to exist from time immemorial, supporting the universe upon his innumerable heads. The Divine Mother reclining on Adisesha signifies that she, too, is the embodiment of permanence. All things in the universe are subject to the laws of change—creation, preservation, and dissolution are inevitable. Yet, beyond this transient reality, the Divine Mother endures as the eternal, unchanging truth. She is the foundational ground of all existence, distinct from the mutable nature of the material world. Her permanence is not merely physical but profoundly spiritual—she is the timeless force that exists beyond the boundaries of time and space.
The image of the Divine Mother or Lord Vishnu resting on Adisesha conveys a message of cosmic balance and harmony. Adisesha’s coiled, symmetrical form represents the infinite cycles of time (Kaalachakra). As the Divine reclines upon him, it illustrates that the cosmic order is upheld by the eternal force of divinity. The Divine Mother’s tranquil repose signifies her mastery over time and space. Though she possesses the power to create, sustain, and dissolve the universe, she remains serene, undisturbed by the cosmic motion.
Adisesha’s role as the eternal support beneath the Divine further emphasizes the theme of cosmic stability amidst perpetual change. Even when the universe dissolves in the great deluge, the Divine Mother remains the ultimate foundation—the Adhara, the primordial force upon which all creation is anchored. This highlights the truth that while all else is fleeting, the Divine Mother alone is eternal—the indestructible essence that sustains existence.
The thousand heads of Adisesha also symbolize infinity—the limitless and immeasurable nature of reality. Just as the serpent’s heads defy enumeration and comprehension, so too does the true nature of the Divine Mother elude human understanding. She is infinite consciousness, the cosmic force behind all creation, and the ultimate destination for souls seeking liberation. Her repose on Adisesha reflects her dominion over time’s cycles and her presence as the infinite truth that transcends them.
In this divine posture, the Divine Mother offers a glimpse of liberation to the spiritual aspirant. Adisesha, as the serpent of infinity, represents the path to spiritual awakening—where the soul rises above the confines of the material world and attains eternal truth. The Divine Mother’s serene presence upon Adisesha symbolizes moksha (liberation), the state in which one merges with the infinite, free from the illusions of temporal existence.
This sacred image of the Divine Mother reclining on Adisesha imparts profound spiritual wisdom. It reveals her untouched nature, beyond worldly distractions and the grasp of time and space. It also affirms her permanence—she is the eternal truth, enduring even when the universe dissolves. Through this symbolism, we are reminded of the fleeting nature of material life and the enduring, infinite presence of the Divine Mother, who remains as the unshakable reality behind all creation.
May the Divine Mother, in her timeless and all-encompassing grace, guide us toward the realization of her eternal truth and bless us with the wisdom to seek liberation beyond the cycles of time.

On this sacred day, our hearts turn to the divine story of the Mother's tapas, an act of profound spiritual significance that is deeply intertwined with the spiritual history of Arunachala. The Divine Mother, who embodies the cosmos itself, once engaged in a playful act that had immense cosmic consequences. She playfully covered the eyes of Lord Shiva, her divine consort, unaware of the universal balance maintained by His gaze. This momentary lapse plunged the cosmos into chaos, a reflection of the interconnectedness of all divine duties.

Upon realizing the magnitude of her action, the Mother, a symbol of both immense power and deep compassion, chose to atone. She undertook a profound tapas—a sacred penance—on Arunachala, the very mountain that is revered as a manifestation of Lord Shiva himself. Her act was not merely one of personal atonement but a cosmic restoration, reminding us that even divine beings are bound by the principles of cosmic balance and humility.

This act of divine penance sets the stage for a momentous event in our spiritual history: the meeting between Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni and Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi.

On November 18, 1907, the renowned scholar and seeker, Kavyakantha, came to the Virupaksha Cave on Arunachala, seeking answers to his deepest spiritual questions. Despite his vast knowledge of scriptures and years of dedicated practice, he felt he had not yet grasped the true essence of tapas. He humbly prostrated himself before Brahmana Swamy (as Sri Ramana was then known) and asked with great sincerity, “I have read all the scriptures and performed all the rituals, but I have not understood what tapas is. Please enlighten me.”

In that moment, Brahmana Swamy's silent gaze was the profound answer. His very presence was the teaching. After a long, penetrating silence, he spoke gently, revealing the ultimate truth:
"If one watches where his notion of 'I' springs, the mind will be absorbed into that source. That is tapas. If a mantra is repeated and attention is directed to the source where the mantra sound is produced, the mind will be absorbed in that. That is tapas."

These simple words carried the weight of direct experience. Ramana Maharshi was not teaching from books but from the light of Self-realization. He was offering the path of Self-Inquiry, a direct method to trace the ego-thought back to its source, leading to its dissolution and a merging with divine consciousness. This was the essence of true tapas—a sustained inner attention that leads to the annihilation of the ego.

Overwhelmed with joy and gratitude, Kavyakantha Ganapati Muni recognized that he had found his true Guru. It was at this moment he declared that Brahmana Swamy was a Maharshi—a great sage—and that he should henceforth be known as Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi.

Inspired by the grace he received, Kavyakantha composed the Umasahasram, a thousand verses in praise of the Divine Mother. This was his own act of tapas, a devotional offering to the Goddess who had guided him to his Guru and the ultimate truth he had been seeking.

The intertwined stories of the Divine Mother's tapas, Kavyakantha's quest, and Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi's silent wisdom serve as timeless examples of the transformative power of humility, devotion, and turning inward. They remind us that the path to enlightenment lies within, and that true tapas is the profound journey of the Self returning to its Source.

तस्याः नाम राजराजेश्वरी “सार्वभौमानां सार्वभौमम्” इत्यर्थः । सर्वदेवानां शासिका सर्वशक्तिप्रभवा सर्वभूतानां जननी च । सृष्टौ रमणीया ललिता सा लीलया कालतालैः समं नृत्यति च । सा महात्रिपुरसुन्दरी, यस्याः सौन्दर्यं केवलं भौतिकं नास्ति अपितु शुद्धचैतन्यप्रभा अस्ति। सा कामेश्वरी सर्वकामपूरिणी, तथापि कामात् परं भक्तं मोक्षक्षेत्रे अपि नयति।

राजराजेश्वरी मनः इन्द्रियाणि च नियन्त्रणस्य प्रतीकं पाशं (पाशं) अङ्कुशं च धारयति । सा ये इक्षुधनुषः पुष्पबाणश्च वहति ते दिव्यकर्षणस्य माधुर्यं सूक्ष्मतां च प्रतिनिधियन्ति-आत्मानं प्रेम्णा स्वस्रोतं प्रति आकर्षयन्ति, न तु बलेन। तस्याः सिंहासनं भक्तस्य हृदयं भवति।

हे दिव्य माता राजराजेश्वरी श्रीचक्रराज्ञी,
अवतरतु तव प्रसादः निश्चलसरसि चन्द्रप्रकाश इव ।
तव करुणा अस्मात् भयान् प्रलीयते,
भवतः प्रज्ञा च अस्माकं मार्गं प्रकाशयति।
अस्माकं हृदयं भवतः सिंहासनं भवतु,
अस्माकं च प्राणाः भवतः अर्पणं भवतु।

नवरात्रेः अस्मिन् शुभे द्वितीये दिने गजलक्ष्मी-महालक्ष्मी-रूपेण अलङ्कृता अस्माकं प्रियमाता योगम्बिकायाः सान्निध्येन अस्माकं हृदयं अपारं आनन्देन, भक्ति-भावेन च पूरितम् अस्ति। एतत् दिव्यं चित्रणं अस्माकं जीवनस्य प्रत्येकं आशीर्वादं, समृद्धिं,च सूचयति ।
"गजलक्ष्मी" इति पदं स्वयं द्वयोः शक्तिशालेन्यः प्रतीकयोः संलयनम् अस्ति । "गज" अर्थात् गजः बलं प्रज्ञां राजकीयं च प्रतिनिधियति, "लक्ष्मी" तु धनं सौभाग्यं च मूर्तरूपं । उभयतः मातुः उपरि जलं पातयिता भव्यगजद्वयस्य बिम्बं अर्थसमृद्धं भवति, यत् आशीर्वादस्य निरन्तरप्रवाहस्य, समृद्धिं जीवनं च जनयन्तः पोषकवृष्टीनां प्रतीकं भवति। सा यत् धनं ददाति तत् उदात्तगुणानां भवति---करुणा, अखण्डता, उदारता च यत् क्रमेण यथार्थसुखं पूर्णतां च जनयति । तस्याः उपस्थितिः अस्मान् स्मारयति यत् आध्यात्मिकसमृद्धिः एव सर्वासु सत्य सफलतायाः आधारः अस्ति ।
दिव्यमातुः पवित्ररूपस्य मूलं प्राचीनहिन्दुमहाकाव्ये समुद्रमथने (विश्वसागरस्य मथनम्) अस्ति । अस्मात् महामथनात् असंख्यनिधयः उद्भूताः, तेषु लक्ष्मी च आसीत्, या सागरात् उत्थिता आसीत्, या पुष्पितपद्मस्य उपरि उपविष्टा आसीत्। एषा उत्पत्तिकथा जलस्य शुद्धजीवनप्रदानशक्त्या सह तस्याः सम्बन्धं प्रकाशयति ।
यथा पद्मं पङ्के सुन्दरं प्रफुल्लितं भवति तथापि तस्य मलैः अस्पृष्टं तिष्ठति तथा गजलक्ष्मी अस्मान् उदात्तगुणानां संवर्धनं कर्तुं भौतिकजगत् आह्वानैः अलिप्ताः एव स्थातुं प्रेरयति ।
वयं सर्वान् भक्तान् आमन्त्रयामः यत् ते आगत्य मातुः योगम्बिकायाः प्रचुरकृपां प्राप्नुवन्तु इति। तस्याः सम्मानार्थं प्रदत्तासु पूजा-आरति-विशेषेषु भागं गृहीत्वा भक्त्या एकीभवेम। तस्याः आशीर्वादः अस्य शाश्वतसत्यस्य प्रमाणम् अस्ति यत् श्रद्धया, सद्भावेन च वयं सर्वविधसमृद्धिं प्राप्तुं शक्नुमः।
