STORY OF THE VOW OF CHAMUNDA MAA

A small village called Rampur. A Brahmin named Shiv Sharma lived in this village. His wife’s name was Parvati. They were extremely poor and childless. Brahmin used to beg for alms and Brahmini would go to other’s homes to work. Thus, they used to fill their stomach by eating chili and chapati. The Brahmin was not saddened by his poverty, but he was deeply saddened when someone called him ‘childless’. At the word “childless”, the knife turned on his black.

After ten years of marriage, the Brahmini has no child. If someone met a Brahmini on the way, these people would spoil her. Not taking its omens. Adjacent to this Brahmin’s dilapidated house was a large mansion belonging to a Vaniya. The name of this Vaniya was Ramji and his wife’s name was Jaya. Husband and wife were very proud and short-tempered because of money. They had two sons and one daughter. Those children were also superior to their parents. The business of this businessman was going on in full swing. He had eight to ten servants, so he used to give orders all day long.

Ramji’s wife Jaya also used flexing her jewelry all the time. She felt stigmatized even talking to a Brahmini. She used to call the Brahmin Lotmango. A brahmini would often say to a brahmin: “Even the house of God is dark. Ramji and Jaya do not take the name of God on any day nor worship, yet they live a comfortable life. When Lakshmi flies in his house, we don’t even drink water without lighting lamps and incense, praying to God in the morning and evening, then why doesn’t God look at us?”

Then the Brahmin would say: “Like whose fate.” He reassured him by saying this.

AFTER A FEW DAYS…!

One day a Brahmin went to the neighboring village to ask for flour in the hope of getting more flour. It was too late to return asking for flour. It’s noon. Walking naked foot on a hot summer afternoon gave the Brahmin a fever. His whole body started burning. The Brahmin immediately poured salt water on himself, but the fever did not subside. There was not enough money to call a doctor. Eventually, the fever rose to the brain and the Brahmin began to faint.

Poor Brahmini was scared. She went to Ramji Vania’s house next door without caring about the dishonor. At this time, Ramji and Jaya were swinging on the swing. The Brahmini folded his hands in front of both of them and demanded some money, and said: “My husband has fever in the brain, so the doctor has to be called. Give me some help…”

Even before the Brahmini could finish speaking, Jaya got up and said: “If your husband dies tomorrow, die today, and if he dies today, die now… What should we do?” Have we collected money for a beggar?”

Hearing such insulting words, the Brahmini felt helpless and turned back. On the way, she meets the elderly barber of the village. He also has some knowledge of health. The Brahmini began to plead with the barber with folded hands. The barber was a man of God. He immediately went home and brought some necessary things and fed the Brahmin who was unconscious with fever. Then the whole night he sat with the Brahmin.

WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THIS…?

By midnight, Brahmin’s fever subsided. Barber said based on his own experience: “Brahmin feels high fever. Do not give him anything to eat for fifteen days, give him only water and allow him to rest in bed for fifteen to twenty days.”

The mountains of sorrow fell on the head of the Brahmini, yet she encouraged the Brahmin and said: “Lord! You don’t have to worry at all. I will go to the village to ask for flour.’ After saying this, she went out to ask for flour the next day. By noon she sold half of the flour she got and came home with salt and pepper and a mug. Then she boiled a mug for her husband and sat down to make chapati for herself. At that time the stinking-dung old lady started shouting at Ramji’s palace: “O Dharmi Seth! Feed this hungry Old lady. God will make you happy.’

The old lady’s appearance was very disgusting. Hearing the Old lady’s shouts, no one came out, so the Old lady entered through the gate. Suddenly, Jaya Shethani’s eyes fell on her and she woke up. He also criticized the working people saying, “No one takes care of the house. Such a smelly lady has even come inside.”She took a stick lying in a corner and shouted as if she was barking at a dog and started pulling out the old lady- “Get out…get out…”

A shivering lady begged for a loaf of bread. But Jaya Shethani had rained insults. She pushed the old lady out and closed the gate.

WHAT WILL THE OLD LADY DO…?

Hearing Jaya’s loud voice, the Brahmini who was making chapatis came out and started watching. She saw the old lady barely walking with a stick. She called her and made her sit at her house and gave her bread, buttermilk, and chili. The old lady ate the whole loaf. But she asked for another loaf. Brahmini was confused. Because now there was only one loaf. If she gives it to old lady, she has to starve herself. However, she also gave her share of bread to an old lady. She ate that bread too. Then turning her hand on her stomach she said: “Daughter! Maa Chamunda will feed you as you feed me. If you do a fast of Chamunda Maa for nine Sundays, Chamunda Maa will fulfill all your desires.

Saying this Old lady explained the ritual of Maa Chamunda’s nine Sunday fast and walked away with the support of a stick.

The Brahmini asked for flour and sold half the flour, brought an image of Chamunda maa, a nagarvel leaf, and a betel nut, and began the fast with devotion. On the same Sunday night at Ramji Vania’s mansion, a thief came and steal of the stuff from the mansion. Those who had mortgaged things there to Vaniya also began to take precautions.

THE NEXT SUNDAY…!

On the second Sunday, government men raided Vania’s business. The police confiscated the godowns and mansions of the business. Ramji was caught by the police. Jaya started to hit her head with sorrow. On the third Sunday, Ramji’s elder son ran away from the house with all the wealth that had remained in the house. His younger brother met with an accident on the way to find him. Due to a serious injury, he had to stay in the hospital for twelve months. And overnight his daughter developed leprosy, and her whole body became leprosy.

Thus, in no time the entire packed house was scattered. Jaya got mad after seeing this. She was not even aware of his clothes.

On this side, the Brahmin continued to fast on Sunday, and their condition changed. Her husband was cured without medicine. After that, he went back to beg for flour. When Nine Sundays were completed the Brahmini celebrated the fast with full faith.

At midnight, the BrahminI dreamed of the smelly-dung old lady. An old lady gives her real appearance to brahmini even before brahmini says something. She was none other than the real Mother Chamunda. After seeing the wonderful and supernatural form of Chamundama, the Brahmin became grateful.

Mother Chamunda said: “Daughter! You have performed my vow with complete devotion, I am pleased with you. Dig a hole in the right corner of your house. Even if seven generations of you eat, you will get enough wealth.”

WHAT WILL BRAHMINI ASK…?

Brahmini said in a dream: “Ma Chamunda! If you are really pleased with my vow then give me child happiness. Remove my childlessness.”

“Daughter! You had to suffer barrenness for seven lives due to your ancestors, but all your sins have been destroyed by the effect of my vow. You will have a skilled son. Daughter! If you still want something, ask for it.’

“Mother! You are an ocean of mercy. Forgive Ramji and Jayabhen for the offense they have inadvertently caused.”

Chamundama said: “Daughter! Everyone has to suffer for the deeds they have done, yet you should feed Jaya with the sacrament of my name so that her madness will be removed. Then ask her to take my vow, so that all good things will happen.”

Saying this, Chamunda maa has disappeared.

In the morning the Brahmini told her husband about the dream. Digging in the right corner of the house, a pot filled with diamonds, pearls, and gold ornaments was found. Brahmin became a millionaire overnight. He bought the mansion of Ramji Seth and started Sadavrat there. The Brahmini gave Maa Chamunda’s sacrament to Jaya, so she was cured. She made Jaya take a vow of chamunda maa by enclosing herself in it. Now Jaya’s son has reached the place. All her ego was lost. The Brahmini celebrated the vow with Jaya. Her husband Ramji was released from jail under the influence of Jaya’s vow. Her daughter’s leprosy was cured and her son, who was hospitalized, recovered quickly.

In time the Brahmin had good days. At the end of nine months, she gave birth to a son who looked like a god. They began to worship Chamunda for life.
