Channel: Consciousness Research Centre
Date: 2022-11-21

Brahmā said, “O best of my sons, O intelligent one, listen to the description of the great penance of Sandhyā, on hearing which, sins are quelled instantly. When Vasiṣṭha went back to his abode after instructing her in the rites of penance, Sandhyā was greatly pleased on learning the procedure of penance. Putting on the dress of a person of blissful mind, she began to perform penance on the bank of Lake Bṛhallohita. She worshipped Śiva with the mantra taught by Vasiṣṭha as the adjunct of penance, in the manner explained by him. A period of four yugas elapsed, during which she continued her great penance, with mind fixed and duly concentrated on Śiva. Propitiated by her penance, Śiva was greatly delighted. He revealed Himself to her within and without, as well as in the heavens. Śiva became visible to her in the form in which she was meditating upon Him.
