A bird flew! An owlet?
While watching the live telecast of Yagya Day 5 - 27 Mar 23 from Sri Badrika Ashram I noticed a bird flew behind Om Swamiji (T- 2:48 - 2:49). It took flight from the left side of Om Swami ji to the top left corner of the screen. The bird was medium sized and its wings were magnificent. It must be an owlet! But I have never noticed an owlet there during my various stays in the ashram. Later I searched the 'Birds of Himachal Pradesh' and found out that Spotted Owlet and Barred Owlet are common varieties of owls in the Himalayas.

On the fifth day of NavDurga Sadhana we worshipped Ma Skandmata who is holding Lord Skanda very gently and lovingly in one of Her arms. He is also known as Lord Kartikeya in North India or Lord Murgan as it is called in South India. In Her two arms She is holding red lotuses representing material success and spiritual success respectively and with the fourth arm She is screening the adversaries, blessing Her devotees by fulfilling their desires. While performing today's yagya, Om Swamiji says, "Ma Skandmata is the ever benevolent, gentle and caring mother. How much can we get it done from a mother? So it is Divine Mother in the form of mother."
Mother knows that it is the time when most of us are going through financial problems. The market is down because of high inflation and recession. As we pray fervently to Her while doing Nav Durga Sadhana, Her motherly instinct protects us from the economic harshness and worldly brutality. She takes the form of Ma Lakshmi whose vehicle is an owl and blesses us with the vision of an owl in the brahmamuhurta.
How many of you have a vision of an owl while performing Sri Suktam Sadhana? You see, when the mother is in a mood to grant, She blesses the devotees with the rarest of the rare view effortlessly. After all She is a mother, a universal mother, a compassionate one!
This spiritual experience is a blessing for all those who are doing NavDurga Sadhana live in Sadhana App. This experience also means that the financial crunch will be over soon and new doors of monetary gains will be opened. Mother Divine has Herself come to bless all of us with materialistic success as well as spiritual success.
Moreover, it is not a mere spiritual experience rather a Divine Blessing for all of us! :)

Jai Sri Hari, This blog reminds me that divine grace can help us overcome challenges, and that even in the midst of a yagya, we can find unexpected blessings, like the sighting of an owlet. As the Bhagavad Gita says, "Those who seek refuge in me shall attain the highest goal."
