Paush Amavasya 2025: Do These Most Powerful Rituals For Closure On The Final Amavasya Of The Year
The Worship Of Sri Saila Sikaram
As
the
saying
goes,
'Many
are
called,
but
a
few
are
chosen',
Lord
Mallikarujna
(Lord
Shiva)
and
Bhramaramba
Devi
(Goddess
Parvati)
the
presiding
deities
of
Sri
Sailam,
sought
to
test
the
devotees
who
thronged
to
worship
the
Sri
Saila
Sikaram,
which
was
capable
of
asundering
their
Karmic
cords
instantly.
The
test
was
followed
after
Goddess
Parvati's
doubt
put
forward
to
Lord
Shiva
as
to
whether
any
one
who
worshipped
Sri
Saila
Sikaram
would
be
blessed
with
liberation,
the
ultimate
blessing.
Lord Shiva and Parvati hence disguised themselves as a couple, travelling in a bullock cart, as was the practice with regards to old people and children who undertook the pilgrimage. The divine couple on purpose pretension of getting their cart stuck in the mud called out for help. Many came forward but the couple put forward a condition that only a person who is free of sins could volunteer in helping them move the cart.
On hearing the condition of the couple, the people who came forward to help them withdrew from the endeavour and watched helplessly at the helpless couple. However, a prostitute came forward to help them. As she was about to indulge in moving the cart, Goddess Parvati asked whether she was free of having committed sins. The prostitute replied that indeed she had about she was absolved of them at the very moment she worshipped the Sri Saila Sikaram. Lord Shiva and Parvati thus pleased with her devotion blessed her with Moksha, liberating her once for all.
It is just not devotion that wins the Lord's heart but devotion from a devout heart that transports one directly to His feet.
