Ayur Devi Worship
Every man, woman and child must worship Mother Ayur Devi.
There are absolutely no race, religion, nationality or gender restrictions in the worship of the Mother.
If you add vratham (fasting) observances and service to the poor, your worship becomes even more significant.
The Mother can be worshipped using the orthodox kalasam (consecrated pot) approach
or just using the picture of the Mother provided in this article. Just as you would apply sandalwood, turmeric
and kumkum paste to the kalasam, you should apply the same to the Mother's picture.
Seated in front of the Mother, recite hymns that praise Her. Lalitha Sahasranama (1000 names),
Abirami Andhaadi, hymns on Mother Lakshmi are all appropriate. The Mother accepts whatever
you recite, as long as you do it in a loving attitude of surrender to Her Divine Will.
If you are not able to do elaborate worship, meditate on the Mother's dhyaana sloka
and then recite the Mother's moola mantra and Her Gayatri mantra
24, 36, 64 or 108 times each.
But this is a relaxation only for those times when you can't do detailed worship.
Offer dishes (neivedyam) that are of a golden color to the Mother and distribute the same to the poor and the needy.
The Mother likes it when we take care of the poor and the needy in Her name.
(Hint: Many dishes made of wheat generally take on a golden color.)
Meditate on Mother Saakambari and Mother Ayur Devi before eating anything.
To put it simply, do not eat anything without meditating on the Mother's mantras first.
While Mother Aayur Devi accepts any worship offered to Her in love, it's best if a Sathguru initiates
one into the Mother's fold. Seek out such a true Sathguru and worship the Mother with the
Sathguru's blessings.
The Vijaya Dasami day is the appearance day of Mother Aayur Devi.
Read all about it in this companion article in AUMzine.
Let's thank the Sathguru, Guru Mangala Gandharva Venkataraman and his divine teacher, Sri Idiyaapa Siddha Easa Guru Maharaj
for reintroducing us to Mother Aayur Devi.
