AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

In a very famous ashram in south India, I noticed that Shiva is worshipped mainly with dhyan and yog sadhana while the same of Devi Linga Bhairavi is performed with all rituals and different types of seva. Their explanation for this difference was not quite satisfactory. If you do not find this question silly, can you please explain what could be the necessity and science behind the ritualistic worship of Devi🧐?

Shiva is Purusha or the inactive, passive aspect of the Divine and hence he is approached through dhyan. Devi is Shakti. Prakriti and hence full of movement, energy, dynamism, creativity, form and colour and hence the elaborate rituals.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

The living mountain is the physical consciousness under the influence of the Psychic aspiration. 349 perhaps means the 3 lower and 4 higher planes that are embedded or involved within the physical consciousness represented by number 9. The dream implies that your physical consciousness is open to the Divine Influence.
