Rajasyamala Devi

Significance of Mahanyasapurvaka Rudrabhishekam:

Mahath means great (like mahatyam). Nyasam is purification. With these, Mahanyasam is said to be a form of purification.

The act of mahanyasam purifies mind, body and soul. In all Mahanyasa purvaka Rudrabhishekam is a special pooja to Lord Siva chanting along with Rudram. An orthodox person who performs Sandhya Vandanam knows Anganyasam and Karanyasam. Like those, Mahanyasam is also a prakriya in pooja.

Mahanyasam is said to be done before chanting Rudram. It is given in Bruhath Parasara Smruti.

Witness the Mahanyasa Purvaka Rudraabhishekam to the divine chants of Sri Rudram from Vedas and wash off sins from several births.

Benefits: Gives courage and confidence to complete difficult endeavours

Rajashyamaladevi Navratri Puja and Homam

Origin of Rajashyamaladevi Worship

Rajashyamaladevi is a revered manifestation of the Divine Mother and is associated with creativity, wisdom, and speech. She is a form of Goddess Durga, specifically worshipped during Navratri, the nine-night festival dedicated to the various forms of Shakti (Divine Feminine Energy). The origins of Rajashyamaladevi worship trace back to the Shakta traditions and Tantric practices, where She is venerated as the Goddess of intellect, knowledge, and the arts. The rituals emphasize attaining mastery over communication, music, and harmonious living.

Rajashyamaladevi is considered the epitome of beauty, eloquence, and knowledge, and her worship is deeply rooted in Vedic scriptures and Puranas, particularly the Markandeya Purana and Devi Bhagavatam.
