The Vedic Vision of Mother Nature - Bhūmi Devi  Sanskrit root div. to shine: self-effulgent, self-shining, self-luminous.  Example: a candle/the sun; light does not need another light to be light, to be                             shining. The candle/the sun, the light itself is shining, lights up all the objects, makes it                             possible for things to be seen.  The sacred word Devi, is a word for Goddess; the goddess of being, that which                             always is, never is not, that which is in the past, present and future, free from                               time.   Because of Devi everything is, exists, is known.  She is worthy of worship, praise, of admiration because she is free from any                           limitation.   Example: the gold that is in and through all the ornaments. Many names,                         forms, functions but in and through there is only gold. From the standpoint of                           gold there is no division. There is only gold.   How is that applicable to us? We have different names, forms & functions, yet                           we are all sustained by the very same Devi/Shakti, which means being. She is the                             essence of all. She is imminent to yet transcends all forms.   If I don't know that I am Devi, then there is comparison, competition, jealousy 

& rivalry, there is pain and I end up in the ocean of Samsāra ‘becoming disease’.  

 … the discovery of the Devi of yourself … leads to

Devi is Bhūmi 

‘Bhū.’ comes from the Sanskrit root ‘to be’. 

So she who is; shines; is a sacred being. One non dual being.  

In the form of you. Me. she. He. they. We. all. 

SHAKTI 

 

All that is is here is sacred.  

All that is given, is grace. In this vision life becomes an offering. Life becomes the playground/the means for me to grow and discover this fact.  

 THAT YOU & I ARE THE SAME SACRED BEING. ONE GOLD. 

 THE RESULT IS FEARLESSNESS/FREEDOM - ABHAYAM/MOKSHA.

LIFE is an offering  Knowing yourself as the source of love, happiness & security is the greatest 

wealth you can possess as a human being. As you can love people freely without agendas, not needing them to be a certain 

way, so that you can be happy. Having self knowledge means you can grant people space to be who they are and appreciate them as Laksmi, as a gift 

from the universe as your sacred mirror.

Devi/Bhūmi/Durgā/Lakṣmi/Sarasvatī etc pūjām karisye. 

I do this Pūjā to Durga Devi to obtain the grace of she through the removal of all unpleasant situations. May I gain wisdom, may I gain the capacity to see the difference between what is 

ever changing and what is permanent. May I be free from suffering in life.   

 

Ātma Pūjā - worship of oneself 

deho devālayaḥ proktaḥ / jīvo devassanātanaḥ tyajedajñānanirmālyaṃ / so’haṃ bhāvena pūjayet 

The body is the temple. The jiva ‘individual’ is the deity of this temple since beginning less time. May one remove wilted flowers that are looked upon as ignorance and worship Devi with an 

understanding that she is non separate from myself.
