| Holly Story of Amabaji Gujarat |
I am a religious person
as you guys already know. I visited one of the very famous temple of
Gujarat, namely, Ambaji. Goddess Amba's temple is there. Ma Amba has
many names like Ambika, Amba, Ambe-Gauri. She is the most beautiful
goddess according to Hindu mythology. The place I visited is known as
Ambaji, but originally the name of that village is “Aarasur”.
Today, I would like to share the mythological story attached with
that place and Ambe Ma. There are three different stories attached
with it, so I will share it in three different posts.
Today I will talk about
the legend of Ma Ambe and king of Danta. As per the mythology, Ma
Ambe resides at Aarasur and used to play Garba [Gujarati folk dance]
there. There was a king who resides at Danta [Pronounced as Daanta]
Village in his palace and rule Aarasur as well. Once he seen a
beautiful girl playing Garbas and just got allured towards her with
her mesmerizing beauty. She asked to come to him and be his queen.
Ambe ma agreed upon, but put a condition one condition. As per that,
the she will walk behind the king and king is not suppose to look
back in any circumstances. He has to put blind trust on her that she
is coming behind. King agreed upon and both of them start moving
towards king's palace at Danta village. After walking some miles,
Ambe ma stopped the sound of her anklet. So the king felt something
suspicious. He thought that girl must be escaped and not coming
behind. So he turned back to check weather she is coming or not and
he lost the condition. At a vary moment, earth get split and Ma Ambe
het in to the earth and fissure seales behind her. After that Danta
and Aarasur also split into two different villages.
Still there is an
Arasaur chawk in main temple at Aarasur – Ambaji where she was
playing Garba. And devotees plays Garba in the evening called “Aanad
no Garbo”. If you climb the Gabbar mountain there, still there is a
place where Ma Ambe got in to the earth. There is an old people tree
known as “Paras Peepadi” where married woman tie their bangles
and pray for long life of their husbands. As per the fable, the gap
where Ambe ma get into earth was till as high as the Mountain Gabbar.
As the mountain itself get split caused in split of earth and Ma ambe
get into the earth.
The moral of the story
can be have faith. Have trust on people and thing you have. If you
will suspect on that you might loose them forever.
