                     Uma Jivani
Goddess Uma, the Universal Mother is that Supreme Power which
upholds the whole universe, and fulfils the aspirations of
all true devotees. Her vision in golden effulgent rays was
got by Dev-Raj Indra, as mentioned in Kena Upanishad. In
Mahabharat, she is described as Radha of Shri Krishrna and
Lakshmi of Vishnu. Shaivas believe her to be the consort of
Shiva. In Puranas, she is mentioned as Mahakali or Chandi,
and worshipped as Devi in various forms. Yogis, by meditating
on Her in the core of their heart as 'Kundalini Shakti' the
Cosmic Power, experience Divine Powers. It is she, who helps us
in self-realisation and in being one with Brahman to be able to
enjoy enternal Bliss, such as can never be described in words.

In this gross world of mortals, She is said to have selected
Her abode in the lap of the great Himalayas in Kashmir, at Uma
Nagri, Uttarasu. Swami Bhaskaranand, the President of the World
Federation of Saints has declared this spot as 'Sidhi Pitha,'
when he visited this Sacred Shrine in the years 1956-58. He has
said that success in Spiritual practices is easy of attainment
at this place by any devotee, whatever caste, creed or colour
he may have.

##yasyAH prabhAvamatulaM nAlaMvaktuM chaturmukhaH
somA bhavatu santuShTA svayamAnanda bhaktidA |##
May that Mother Uma whose greatness cannot be adequately
described even by Brahma, be pleased to bless the whole World
and grant devotion to Svayamananda.
