Dhumavati Jayanti 2018: Date, Tithi Time and Vrat Katha
Dhumavati Jayanti (20th June 2018, Wednesday) is the day when Goddess Dhumavati is glorified and worshipped. The word ‘Dhumavati’ is made of ‘Dhuma’ meaning ‘Smoke’ and ‘vati’ meaning ‘being that’, the smoky one. She kills the demons by creating or discharging dangerous smokes from her body. She is the seventh goddess of the ten Mahavidyas or the ten great divine mothers. Dhumavati Jayanti falls on ashtami (eighth day) during Shukla Paksha in Jyeshtha month (June-July). On this day, devotees worship her for relief from distress, frustrations, miseries and mental agonies. She is associated with inauspiciousness such as diseases, poverty, misfortune and the like. Her appearance as mentioned in the scriptures is that of an old woman who is ugly, widow and associated with anything that brings bad luck or is unattractive. It is said that she rides a horseless chariot in a cremation ground.
Story of Dhumavati Devi:
A Vedic scripture Shaktisamgama Tantra mentions a legend of Dhumavati Devi. When Sati, Shiva’s wife, found out that Her father Daksha hadn’t invited Her husband to a great fire sacrifice, she fell insulted. Despite Shiva’s protests, She went to the assembly where renowned personalities of heaven, sages and saints had come for the sacrifice. Daksha aware of his daughter’s presence didn’t pay attention and offer hospitality to her. Feeling humiliated and furious, she committed suicide by jumping into the Fire of Sacrifice. Moments later a goddess, blacked and burnt, emerged from the Kunda of fire. That goddess is known as Dhumavati Devi who is what left of Sati.

How can a Goddess who is an epitome of misfortune, be worshipped?
She is associated with inauspiciousness such as diseases, poverty, misfortune and the like. Her appearance as mentioned in the scriptures is that of an old woman who is ugly, widow and associated with anything that brings bad luck or is unattractive. It is said that she rides a horseless chariot in a cremation ground. Dhumavati Devi is mysterious and manifests herself fully when the cosmology is put to annihilation by the will of the Lord. She is considered to represent the ‘void’ that fills the atmosphere before and after creation. The Mahavidya scriptures have certain hymns that praise her. Although personifying the unfavourable objects, she has her actual manifestation which is beyond our senses. Her outer ugly appearance indicates that all the material objects should be considered unfavourable to the path of spirituality. One must look inward to find the real divine beauty of the self which is above material planes.
It is said when a devotee becomes puffed up with material possessions and ego, the Lord takes away all his possessions. It is confirmed in Bhagavat Purana (Shrimad Bhagavatm) 10.88.8 wherein the Lord says: If I especially favour someone, I gradually deprive him of his wealth. Then the relatives and friends of such a poverty-stricken man abandon him. In this way he suffers one distress after another. It is the favour done by the Lord to a devotee to remind of his actual position (self-realization). When the Lord decides to take away everything material from a devotee, Dhumavati Devi serves Him by executing His wish and introduces the devotee to poverty, miseries and distress. In that helpless condition, the devotee remembers the Lord through thinking, singing devotional songs or just remembering Him.
Therefore one must worship Dhumavati Devi to destroy ego, arrogance, anger, harsh speech, aggression and the like that harm no one but the self.
Dear Kantiji, I made the head mala with 1 Mukhi in the center and placed the nine, 9 mukhi beads in two pairs on each side of the head with the ninth 9 mukhi at the rear of the mala. I, however felt that I wanted to have the 1 Mukhi Rudraksha with me all the time so it became part of a mala containing 1 through 14 Mukhi including a newly acquired 9 mukhi I asked Ms. Neeta for, plus Ganesha Bead and GauriShankar totaling 28 Rudraksha in total. I tried wearing the nine 9 mukhi as a braclet but found that my activities placed them in harm's way. I was afraid that I would inadvertently hit them on
Dear Ms. Neeta I just wanted to tell you how delighted I am with the beautiful Ruby and Durga-Mala ordered by Mr. Thomas Primas and which you assembled especially for me. The mala ist not only beautiful to look at, but also filled with a lovely energy, which will surely protect me and help me from now on. I really love to wear it! Thank you also for sending the two jewels so quickly. They arrived right on time and were offered to me as Christmas presents. What a wonderful surprise! Warm regards Isabelle Kramer
Dear Rudra Centre, I am very happy with the products that i have purchased thus far from your website. In a world where there are millions of cheats, trying to make a quick dollar from devotees in the name of the good lord, selling false beads and low quality products, it is nice to know that rudra centre is so genuine and so caring. This company truly is looking for the enlightenment and aid of all people. The products that you sell have helped my family members greatly. For example, my uncle who would be very ill-tempered is enjoying much more peace and tranquility by wearing the eight muki
Jai Durga and a Happy Tuesday. I rarely access my yahoo account and just came across these email threads today in my inbox. I am quite amused by the queries asked. All I can tell people is that I am a big fan of Neeta because of her dedication and deligence in providing people with the right information on Rudraksha beads and gemstones. I have all the rudrakshas from 1 mukhi Java to 18 mukhi (nepal and java) from RudraCentre and they work miraculously when it comes to chakra balancing and wealth opportunities. My wife who is an MD Cardiologist with Fortis and Holyspirit hospital in Mumbai has

The case was turned over to her and she won the custody of her 3 kids. A great big thanks to my GURU. I fully put my great trust in YOU. Thats all for now. MAY LORD SHIVA CONTINUED TO BLESS ALL!!!!! WITH LOVE AND MANY THANKS Marcel.
Neetaji I Received the Durga Shakti Mala. There is only one word to describe it and that word is above: Perfection. Mukhi lines are all perfect and visible. Rudraksha Beads are uniform, perfectly round, solid and heavy to the touch. In my life I have searched for the perfect Mala for Japa, meditation, and daily wearing. This is that Mala. I was reminded of the famous French singer Edith Piaf when I first opened the box for this Mala. In her life, Edith Piaf would not go anywhere or do anything without her cross of St. Therese which she always wore. I intend for This Mala and only this mala to
Dear Neetaji, I am writing this on behalf of my mom. In December 2013 she got a Durga Power Mala from your center. She has been wearing it regularly ever since. She says after wearing that her throat cleared up. She used to have some mild irritation in her throat which she never mentioned to anyone, until it was cleared. She says now she feels very comfortable to drink chilled water. She is more energetic now. Earlier she used to exhaust her energy very fast. Now she doesn\'t feel the need to take rest after a long walk. Though we do not have a steady income now due to certain reasons we do no
