Shiva Gouri Sadhana

For parents in India getting daughter married when she comes to age is a big responsibility. And even parent in other parts of the world might have experienced this feeling of responsibility.



To get one's child married is one thing but to get a good match, a caring husband and a good family is quite another matter. Sometimes even when one's daughter is virtuous, learned, skilled in household work and very talented one cannot find the right match for her. And as the years pass and the age becomes more the prospect of finding good groom gets even dimmer.



In desperation the harried parents try everything - approaching the marriage bureaus, seeking help of relatives, bringing out advertisements in the matrimonial columns and even consulting the local astrologers. But in many cases nothing seems to work. Then the big question rises in the mind.



Is there no solution to this problem ?



Delay in marriage could be due to many factors like evil planetary aspect, Dasa of unfavorable planet, past bad karma's, ancestral curse. And the ancient scriptures state unanimously that there is one unfailing means of nullifying all these baneful effects.



All unmarried girls in India know that worshiping Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati is a sure means of ensuring a good marriage. But for the best result instead of simple worship and fasting one should try Vedic Sadhanas. Fasting does little but strengthens one's will power. To get the desired result one need to starve oneself. One just needs to supplicate to the Lord with the help of divine Mantras which never fail to produce the desired result.



A very powerful Sadhana for girls who desire to get married or women who already married but facing problems in marriage is the following Shiva Gouri Sadhana.



This Sadhana must be tried on a Monday.



Early in the morning have a bath and wear white clothes. Sit on a white mat facing North. Cover wooden seat with white cloth. On some white flowers place Mouli Manni in a copper plate. Offer on it rice grains and vermilion. Then offer flowers on it chanting Om Namah Shivaay five times. Light a ghee lamp. Then chant one round of Guru Mantra. Next join both palms and chant thus -



Shivaay Gourivadanaabjavrinda Suryaay

Dakshaadhvar Naashkaay. Shreeneelkantthaay

Vrishdhwajaay Tasmei Shikaaraay Namah Shivaay.



i.e. I pray Lord Shiva who destroyed the Yagya of Prajapati Daksha and who sits on a white bull with his divine consort Gouri whose face is beautiful like a lotus.



Then chant five rounds of this Mantra with a Rudraksha rosary.



Om Gloum Gam Om Grouripataye Namah



Do this for three consecutive Mondays. The wonderful thing about this Mantra is that it also contains the Beej Mantra Gam of Lord Ganapati who banishes all obstacles. Thus through this powerful Mantra one worships Lord Shiva, Mother Gouri and there powerful son Lord Ganapati. Such a powerful combination no doubt would bring about the desired results in no time. If the girl who wishes to get married cannot try the Sadhana her parents or brother or sister or relative could try on her behalf. After the Sadhana place the rosary in the worship place and tie the Mouli Manni on the wrist or the arm of the girl. Let it remain there till a good match is arranged. After the marriage drop the Manni and rosary in river or pond.
