🌻 Explanation of ‘Ugra Thara Devi’ Sripada saves upasaka of Thara Devi - 1 🌻
We took leave from Sharabheswara Shastri and continued our journey. We learnt that chanting of Sripada Srivallabha’s name was the only tool for attaining this world as well as other worlds. When we travelled for some distance, we saw an ashramam.
There was a Maharshi by name Siddha in that. He was a completely dispassionate person. He was wearing a ‘koupeenam’. Two of his disciples, standing in front of the ashramam questioned us ‘Are you Shankar Bhatt and Dharma Gupta?’.
We said, ‘Yes’. He took us inside. There was an idol of Thara Devi inside. We understood that he was an ‘upasaka’ of Thara Devi. It was afternoon time. After worship, ‘bhajana’ was done. Later we were given good meal.
The Siddha said, ‘Sripada told me about your arrival. You were given hospitality on the direction of that Maha Guru. I am an upasaka of Thara Devi. That Mother is called ‘Thara’, because She always gives liberation.
She will also grant the power of speech and will protect Her devotees from dangers. So she is also called ‘Neela Saraswathi’. There were three ‘Hayagreevas’. One was an avathar of Vishnu Murthi. The second one was a Maharshi and the third a raakshasa (demon).
To kill the demon Hayagreeva, She became ‘Neela Vigraha Rupini’. By doing ‘upaasana’ of this Devi, even a common man can become a great scholar like ‘Bruhaspathi’. In Bharatha Varsha, Vasishta Maharshi was the first one to do ‘Thara’ upasana.
She is also called ‘Vasishta aaradhitha Thara Devi’ (Thara Devi worshipped by Vasishta). Even though I was doing upasana of Thara, I did not have Her darshan. I visited ‘Ugra Thara’ Siddhapeetham in ‘Maharshi’ village in Mithila Desam.
There are three Murthis at that place – Thara, Ekajata and Neela Saraswathi. Big idol is in the middle and on either side, there are small idols. Elders say that Vasishta Maharshi did Thara upasana there and got siddhi.
When I came out after darshan of Ugra Thara Matha, I saw a cute girl. The sound of Her anklets was very pleasing to the ears. While the girl was walking, the sound of her anklets was reverberating in my heart.
The girl said, ‘My Dear! You are roaming at many different places. I think you are searching the whole world for me only. Is it true?’ I was stunned. I had a doubt whether She was Thara Devi Herself or a mad girl talking like that.
Thara Bhagavathi sits on Siva in the form of Sava (a cadever) (dead body) in Pratyaleedha mudra. She will be in blue colour, have 3 eyes and hold a scissor, skull, kamalam and a khadgam (sword). She wears the skin of a tiger and a garland of skulls.
She grants bhogam (wealth) as well as liberation. But what I saw then was a cute 12-13 year old beautiful girl form. I was stunned. I could not say anything. Meanwhile, that girl increased her lumiscence.
Every atom of Her body became luminous. Her body took the shape of a boy. The colour changed to golden colour. His eyes were peaceful like a yogi’s eyes and were having the divine qualities of compassion and grace. The boy had anklets on both his ankles.
He asked me, ‘Sir! My anklets are tight. Can you remove them?” I said, ‘Yes’. He gave me those anklets and said ‘you keep these two anklets with you. They have ‘Jeeva Shakti’ (life force). They will decide for you where to go, what to eat and to whom should you talk?
