Shiva Gauri Sadhana-Gauri Shankhar Sadhana

Shiva Gauri Sadhana, Still Unmarried?:

Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati (Ardhanarishwar)

For parents in our society, it’s a big responsibility for parents getting a daughter married when she comes of age. And even parents 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 a good groom gets even dimmer.

In desperation the harried parents try everything approaching marriage bureaus, seeking help of relatives and friends, bringing out advertisements in the matrimonial columns and even consulting the local astrologer. But in many cases nothing seems to work. Then the big question rises in one’s 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 Karmas and ancestral curse. And the ancient scriptures state unanimously that there is but one unfailing means of nullifying all these baneful effects.

All unmarried girls in our society know that worshipping 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 strengthen one’s will power. To get the desired result one need not starve oneself. One just needs to supplicants 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 are already married but are facing problems in married life is the following Shiva Gauri 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 a wooden seat with white cloth. On some white flowers place Mouli Manni in a copper plate. Offer on it rice grains and vermillion. Then offer flowers on it chanting Om Namah Shivaaya five times. Light a ghee lamp. Then chant one round of Guru Mantra. Next join both plams and chant thus –

Shivaaya Gaurivadanaabjavrinda Suryaaya Dakshaadhvar Naashkaaya, Shreeneelkantthaaya Vrishdhwajaaya Tasmai Shikaaraaya Namah Shivaaya.

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

Then chant five rounds of this Mantra with a Rudraksh Rosary.

Mantra: Om Glaum Gam Om Gauripataye 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 combination no doubt would bring about the desired result 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 until a good match is arranged. After the marriage drop the Manni and rosary in river or pond.
