Seva and Mahanisha-Karma

In Yog marg, both service (सेवा) and Karma (महनिशा कर्म) are very important. For seva, a Brahmvirya (ब्रह्मवीर्य) Kumari Brahman mata is essentially needed. She alone can take seva and none else. After Seva, one has to take prasad from her. Kumari mata seva is generally done on differnt shapes of asans like trinagular, square and different numbered petal lotus asans. On each petal, a kumari Ma will sit. Depending upon number of Kumaris different design asan was made but one thing was sure in all the asans, that in the middle bindu or centre of the asan form lotus, always Sri Sri Adi Ma will sit. Through seva or service alone, Yog path gets purified. Whatever mistakes, faults etc. get surely committed during Yog marg, for neutralization of them, Kumari seva is essential. A brahmin Kumari is considered to represents partial power of Mahamaya. But five year old one representing Shri Durga contains full power of Mahamaya. Instead of many Kumari's, even seva of one Kumari is sufficient. Even 17 kumari mata seva is accomplished in one kumari only. But when we are giving Dakshina in the end, that is given as per the number of Kumari's for Seva thought of at the start. That which is One is Infinite (अन्नत) and that which is Infinite (अन्नत) is One alone. Kumari tattva is extremely mysterious. It abounds in the base of all kinds of Shaktis and this tattva only gave birth to time (काल). It has no shape, whatever shapes are seen in the creation, out of them not even one is that of Kumari, they represent kumari form Mahamaya only. The basic tattva of Kumari is called as 'Ma'. All the shruti of Naad are known as Durga. Shruti (Om) is akshar form and not without akshar (nirakshara). It is beyond maya (मायातीत). The Kumari seen physically is a kala of mahamaya. Adi Kumari is without any base, so it can not manifest in any form. 

A sadhak invokes (आवाहन) the mothere during pooja and does its visarjan later. With this kind of process one attain state like dead body(शवासन). Endless Kumari pooja is natural Karm-Shakti/ कर्म शक्ति (force of action). During its poojan conscious state is always ambued with Siddh state. By accepting is prasasd, divine consciousness state automatically flows inside the sadhak. Without understanding this simple truth, the mystery keeps drowned inside the creation play. Thus self effulgence does not increase, what increases is the effulgence of Matrika (मातृका) and not of karma. In the limitless world, there are many karmis (those who can perform karma) but no proper karma. Karma is only present in the mortal frame. Due to non-acceptance of Prasad, atoms were created, one prasad is accepted then param anus will get created. When creation takes place through anu or atom, at that moment only Time gets created.       

Without catching the Mahanisha Karm/ महानिशा कर्म time, it is not possible to annihilate time. For ascending into Vigyanmaya realm, annihilation of Kaal or time is essential. The moment flow of kaal is stopped, bhav arises. Annihilation of kaal is essential, hence just restraining or freezing (stambhan) of it will not serve the purpose. Mahanisha karm though seeming to be night activity is actually early morning karm for yogis. By attaching to setting Sun karma moment (क्षण), Sun rise karma state is achieved. With Mahanisha karma, Mother is connected while with Sandha karma (सन्ध्या कर्म) Guru is connectted. Karma gets completed in Mahanisha and is offered at the feet of Guru during Sandhya time. There is another time which is time of accepting karma. Actually karm-daan days are generally No moon night (अमावस्य), Fullmoon night (पूर्णिमा) and 8th day of the 15 day cycle of moon (अष्टमी) The time of karm daan is connected with the qualification of the sadhak.
