Story of Siddhidatri Devi
Siddhidatri, the final avatar of Durga is worshipped on the ninth day of Navratri 2019. Maa Siddhidatri has supernatural healing powers. She bestows all types of Siddhis (perfections) to her devotees and thus recognized as 'Siddhidatri’. ‘Siddhi’ means ‘perfection’ and ‘dhatri’ means ‘the giver or provider’. She is always in a heavenly, happy and charming pose. She has four arms and sits on a lotus. Her arms hold Gada (bludgeon), Chakra, Shankh (scallop shell) and lotus flower.
The Vedas especially the Bhagvat Purana or Shrimad Bhagavatam mention that the Cosmos is made of innumerable galaxies and universes. Each of them has its own course of Creation, Maintenance and Destruction. The story of Siddhidhatri takes place in one of those parts of the Cosmos.
That part of the Cosmos was in the complete darkness. An eternal ray that passed through all the galaxies appeared there, illuminating each and every corner. Then a Divine Mother emerged out of it. She was Mahashakti Herself whose light further spread and caused the Trinity (Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh) to take birth.
The Trinity did tapasya for thousands of years. Pleased by their humble penance, Mahashakti appeared before them Siddhidhatri and blessed with their wives, Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati.
After being guided by Her, the three lords began meditating and performing their respective duties; creation by Brahma, preservation by Vishnu and destruction (of the ignorance and the old worlds) by Lord Shiva. By Her blessings they also achieved all the siddhis: Anima, Mahima, Garima, Laghima, Prapti, Prakambya, Ishitva and Vashitva.
- Anima means reducing one's body to the size of the smallest element
- Mahima means expanding one's body, being larger than the largest element
- Garima means becoming infinitely heavier than the heaviest element
- Laghima means becoming lighter than the lightest element
- Prapti means being omnipresent
- Prakambya means achieving one’s desires ofany nature
- Ishitva means possessing the leadership
- Vashitva means having the ability to subjugate anyone.
On the request of Lord Brahma, She converted half of Shiva and Parvati to become Ardhanarishwar. Then She created more intense rays of light from other gods, demons, monsters, trees, damsels, different animals and Garuda and many more species of the world emerged. From the same rays, there came different planets, stars, galaxies as well as constellations (in the material space), solar systems, vast oceans, trees, flowers lakes, streams, rivers and other bodies of water on those materially created planets.
Worshipping Goddess Siddhidatri on the final day of Durga Navratri bestows all Siddhis to her worshippers and it marks the successful completion of their Navratri Poojan Utsav. According to the Markendey Puran, there are significantly 8 types of "Siddhis” namely Anima, Mahima, Garima, Laghima, Prapti, Prakyamya, Inshitva, and Vashitva respectively. Thus, by worshipping Devi Siddhidatri, the devotees can certainly attain all Siddhis.
It is mentioned in Vedic scriptures of Devi Bhagvata Puranaa that Lord Shiva obtained all Siddhis by blessings of Siddhidatri that made Him half Devi and glorified him with name 'Ardha Narishwar'. Devi Siddhidatri is truly one of the most magnificent aspects of Navdurga. With her grace, all wishes of her devotees are fulfilled and all the fear and pains are eliminated. With the grace of Goddess Siddhidatri, the worshipper satisfies and controls all his desires. Devi Siddhidatri ends the greed and superfluous temptation toward material comforts of her worshipper. After obtaining Siddhi, humans observe enhancement in their personality and for this, they should observe dedicated devotion toward Goddess Siddhidatri. The devotees of Maa Siddhidatri can attain any kind of desire by worshipping her on the auspicious final day of Navratri. Her glory is infinite and she is said to be very generous for all mankind.
Goddess Siddhidatri Mantra & Puja Vidhi:
It is believed that Lord Shiva, in the beginning of the Universe prayed to Adi-Parashakti, the supreme Goddess of Power to effect creation. Adi-Parashakti did not have any form and She appeared from the left half of Shiva as Siddhidatri. Shiva thus got the name Ardha-Narishwar. She is the One who blesses Her devotees with all the Siddhis (even Shiva received His Siddhis from Her). She is worshipped by one and all (Deva, Gandharva, Asura, Yaksha, Siddha and humans). Goddess Siddhidatri is shown sitting on a lotus or riding a lion. She has four hands in which She holds a mace, a chakra, a lotus and a Shankh.
Siddhidatri Mata Puja Vidhi: Navratri ends with worship of Siddhidatri which is performed by using sacred puja items. The devotee uses a shallow pan like utensil made of clay as base. Three layers of mud and Sapta Dhanya/Navadhanya (grains) seeds are poured into the pan. The next is a little water is sprinkled so that seeds get enough moisture. A Kalasha (holy water pot) filled with Ganga jal, Supari, a few coins, Akshat (raw rice mixed with turmeric powder) and Durva grass is placed in the base. Then the five Mango tree leaves put around the neck of the Kalash which is then covered by a coconut.
