Sri Gurubhyo namaha! Sri Maatre namaha!
Tomorrow, Tuesday, July 14th being the auspicious Bhaumaashwini day in India (until 2 PM), we will be seeking Chandika Mahalakshmi’s blessings by reciting Śrī Devyatharvaśīrṣam (also called Devi Upanishad from the Atharvana Veda) TEN times.
Many of you would be already aware that when Ashwini Nakshatra falls on a Tuesday (Bhauma Vasara), this confluence called Bhaumaashwini is considered very auspicious for reciting Devi Upanishad.
Śrī Devyatharvaśīrṣam says:
“Daśa vāram pathèdyastu sadyah pāpaih pramućyate”
Meaning: Reciting Devi Upanishad ten times removes all the sins (paapam)
“Bhaumāśvinyāṃ mahādevīsannidhau vā japtvā mahāmṛtyuṃ tarati । Sa mahāmṛtyuṃ tarati ya evaṃ veda । Ityupaniṣat ॥ “
Meaning: The devotee who chants Śrīdevyatharvaśīrṣam on Bhaumaashwini day, will attain the highest human attainment of freedom from the cycle of birth and death which presupposes the obvious attainment of leading a blessed life and enjoyment of all material comforts. It also means one has a long life filled with Ananda and in the end attains the Brahman and breaks the cycle of birth and death.
Tuesday, July 14th (in India) is not only Bhaumaashwini but also Krishna Paksha Navami - both very auspicious for doing Devi Puja or Parayana.
