🌺।।The Bhavishyottara Purana describes an instance where a girl helped Sri Vishnu in the annihilation of demons. The name of that girl was 'Ekadashi'।।🌺
Here is the story of the "First Ekadashi" or "Toli Ekadashi"
A THREAD 🧵
This happened in the Krita Yuga.
Mura, the son of Talajangha, was very powerful. His job was to constantly torment all beings, including the gods. All the distressed victims gathered and appealed to Bhagwan Vishnu.
Sri Vishnu engaged in battle with Murasura. Even after fighting for years, he could not defeat Mura, who was endowed with great boons.
While Vishnu was resting, hidden in a cave called Simhavati, a woman named Ekadashi emerged from his resolve. Immediately upon her birth, she furiously attacked the demon and annihilated him.

A Thread🧵 about her story and her Tantric Significance
Also known as the Outcast Goddess of Sacred Speech, she sits on the edge of tradition.
Not quite inside the temple, and not completely outside it.
Maa Matangi — the ninth Mahavidya — is the Tantric form of Saraswati, but unlike her Vedic counterpart, she does not follow the rules. She breaks them to reveal a deeper, more raw truth.
Where Saraswati is pure, white, and proper —
Matangi is wild, emerald-green, and unapologetically free.
🌺।।The Story of Maa Matangi।।🌺
Once, in ancient times, the Devas offered a grand feast to Sri Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. As is customary, the leftovers from the divine feast were thrown away, for no one dared to eat what had already been offered to the Gods.
🌺।।जब भगवान श्रीकृष्ण के आह्वान पर अगस्त्य ऋषि एक घूंट में पी गए देवराज इंद्र द्वारा लाई गई बाढ़ का पानी।।🌺
माता अन्नपूर्णा और अगस्त्य ऋषि की एक कथा 🧵
जब भगवान श्री कृष्ण ने गोवर्धन को धारण किया तो भगवान ने अगस्त्य ऋषि का आह्वान किया कि अगस्त्य ऋषि आओ और इस देवराज इंद्र के द्वारा जो यहाँ जल भरा हुआ है उसको पी जाओ और अगस्त्य मुनि आये, एक घूंट में सारा जल पी गए ।
अगस्त्य मुनि एक ऐसे ऋषि हैं जिनके पास समुद्र को भी एक घूंट बनाकर के पीने की शक्ति है ।
ऋषियों मे अत्यंत शक्तिशाली ऋषि अगस्त्य, शिवजी के परम भक्त थे । एक बार माता पार्वती, जो अन्नपूर्णा भी कहलातीं हैं, उन्होंने शिवजी से निवेदन किया, ‘महादेव ! मेरी इच्छा है कि मैं संसार के सभी साधू-महात्माओं को भोजन करवाऊँ । इसलिए आप सभी साधू-संतों व ऋषि-मुनियों को आमंत्रित कीजिए।
‘इस पर शिवजी ने जो प्रतिष्ठित संत व ऋषि-मुनि थे उनको स्वयं बुलाया कुछ को बुलाने गणों को भेजा, इस प्रकार से संसार के सभी साधू-संतों व ऋषि-मुनियों को आमंत्रित किया । लाखों साधू-संतों व ऋषि-मुनि एकत्रित हो गए । माता पार्वती ने सैंकड़ों व्यंजन भरपूर मात्रा मे बनवाए जिनको खा-खा सभी साधू-संत व ऋषि-मुनि थक गए किन्तु व्यंजन ज्यों के त्यों ही पड़े रहे ।
🌺।।Kamala – The Goddess of Divine Prosperity is the most beautiful and gentle form among the ten Mahavidyas।।🌺
Her name means “Lotus”, and she is the Goddess of true wealth — both outer and inner.
A Thread 🧵
She is the Tantric form of Lakshmi, the goddess of fortune, beauty, and abundance. But Kamala is not just about money or luxury. She gives us the kind of wealth that lasts: kindness, peace, contentment and spiritual richness.
Kamala is shown sitting on a blooming lotus, with two elephants pouring water beside her — symbols of strength, grace, and steady growth. Her hands shower gold coins, but even more, they bless us with love, compassion, and wisdom.
🌺।।Do you know about the curse that led Dhritrashtra to lose his 100 sons ?।।🌺
A Thread 🧵
King Dhritarashtra once asked Sage Vyasa, “Why did I lose all hundred of my sons? I remember my past hundred births—I committed no sin!”
Vyasa replied, “You remember a hundred lives, but what about before that?”
Then he revealed the truth.
Long ago, Dhritarashtra had been a mighty king. One day, a flock of swans stopped in his royal garden. Their leader entrusted his pregnant mate to the king’s care while he went on pilgrimage. She gave birth to a hundred cygnets.
The king’s cook, unaware, killed one and served it. The king loved the taste and ordered it daily—never questioning where it came from. One by one, all hundred babies were cooked and eaten.
