BESTOWER OF ALL POWERS ()Soundarya Lahari 20)

Sri Mata is Amriteswari! She is the repository of ambrosia or nectar! “ Sudha Sagara madhyastha kamakshi kamadayini”- She resides in the center of the ocean of nectar; she is Kamakshi herself; she grants all desires of her devotees! “ Sahasrarambujaruda sudha sarabhi varshini”-- riding on the lotus of Sahasrara, the lotus of thousand petals, she rains nectar incessantly! “ Amrutadi Maha sakthi samvruta Dakiniswari”--She is surrounded by the sakthis of Amruta and is called Dakiniswari!” In the twentieth sloka of Soundarya Lahari, Sri Sankara dilates on the meditation of Devi as Amriteswari!

Sankara says, “ The person who contemplates on you, in his heart , who rains nectar from all parts of your body in the form of rays, as an image carved out of a moonstone-- “Chandrakanta” subdues the pride of serpents like Garuda, the king of birds! The sadhaka will be endowed with the power of curing those afflicted with fever by his mere look that rains Amrutha or Nectar!”

The sadhaka is endowed with a certain power through his concentrated meditation on Sri Mata who is Amriteswari herself! He becomes a terror to all serpents. They have to run helter skelter on seeing him. To their eyes, the Sadhaka appears like the great Garuda the king of birds who is the destroyer of serpents! The devotee of Sri Mata can cure snake and cobra bites by a mere look at the person and mantra while doctors treat them with medicines! His look is an antidote to snake bite!

Not only this! The Sadhaka can cure all sorts of fever by his mere look! It is purely by the Grace of Sri Mata! The cool ambrosia flow from his look cures all varieties of fever! Yogis and Sadhakas enjoy the ambrosia or nectar that flows from the Amrita Nadi! They are filled with ecstasy and bliss! Amrita Nadi saturates all Nadis with nectar!

The true Sadhaka is blessed with tremendous powers by the grace of Devi. We have many devotees who cure chronic diseases of patients given up by eminent doctors. But this requires extreme and concentrated meditation and upasana of Devi! It is very rarely that we come across such great spiritual Sadhakas! But there are many upstarts who declare themselves as upasakas and cheat the common man! One has to be very careful with such people! May Devi save us from such persons and shower her Grace on all of us!
