Before accepting this opportunity, Tridev asked her that you have killed a demon and restored joy in the universe. Now, being your father, I want you to decide how your pooja has to be done.
But Kamalanayani said, Pithashree Mata Gayatri has blessed me that I will represent you throughout my life. So I don’t want to get away from you. I don’t want any special pooja or temple. But he who worships Madhav, Mahadev & Brahmadev, with a pure heart, then Madava-Mahadeva-Brahmadeva-putri Kamalanayani will stand for their goodness. People are required to know about her existence but if they are devoted to Tridev with a pure heart and please Tridev with their Bhakti, then Kamalanayani will be with them.
But, Tridev asked her to choose a unique and symbolic – flower, tree & vastu. Even if she does not want any pooja then also, this has to be done.
Kamalanayani chose Nithyakalyani (Botanical name – Catharanthus roseus or English – Periwinkle) as flower, Marudhaani (Henna) as tree and Manjal (Turmeric) as vastu.
She chose Nithyakalyani flower because it has 5 petals (Lord Shiva), pink color (Lord Vishnu) & it was a creation of Brahmadev. & Henna, Turmeric for same kind of reasons. They shared some facts of Tridev.
Note: According to my research on the flower, tree and vastu she had chose, I concluded that 3 of them share a common fact that they have the capability to cure Cancer. This is currently being proved by today’s researchers. If you soak nithyakalyani flowers’ petals in water for a whole night and drink the water then it will increase your immunity against cancer and diabetes. Nithyakalyani plant’s root is used for curing Diabetes also. Henna prevents hyper-tension, nervous disorders & etc.. Turmeric as always is a mangala vastu also it has an element called curcumin which makes it as Turmeric. Without Curcumin turmeric is simply a dead ginger. That curcumin is used to prevent cancer and is also used in few cancer therapies.
So her choice has some commonality.
Coming back to the story,…. She also asked Veera to stay at Kailash during the time she resides in the Earth.
Now, her journey towards the Earth went like this…
Now upon accepting the invitation of Lord Narayan and getting permission from Tridev & Tridevis, she was prepared to go the Earth as a human being.
Lord Narayan made the arrangements for her birth. He made her to sit in a fully bloomed Lotus flower and then closed its petals and sealed it in such a way that only if he touches the flower then only it will open. He made it to float from Ksheer Sagar to Dvaraka.
Dvapara Yuga was going on at that time. Pandavas and their wife Mata Draupadi where on their 12 years exile. Lord Krishna also made the arrangements for her arrival as his daughter as Lord Narayan is Lord Krishna. He had sons but no daughter at that time. (Note: Not all children of Lord Narayan was born at that time. Only a few where born. Because it was the time when he was newly married to his princely queens – Ashtabharyas.)
Some astrologers predicted that the royal family is going to have a girl baby.
On hearing this, Maharani Satyabhama – the second princely queen of Lord Krishna began to have of wish of having a daughter. She expressed her desire to Lord Krishna. At that time, a daasi brought freshly picked lotus flowers to her room. Lord Krishna recognized one of the lotus flower and understood that its time for his daughter’s arrival. He started playing with the queen that he paid no attention to her words and saying that it is time for him to go to the Sabha and started walking away. Enraged Queen then, threw that plate full of lotuses on the floor by blocking his path. She also added that I know you can stamp them. But you should answer my plea before you leave this room. But he enacted as he did not listen to her words. But the third lotus flower he stamped was the floor was that special lotus flower.
The moment his feet touched that lotus flower, the petals bloomed and a young girl child of around 5 years came out of it. He knew what’s happening but acted that nothing happened and was continuing to walk out of the room. Queen Satyabhama was left without a word upon seeing this. She then screamed that he has created a miracle. Then he turned and saw a young girl and his Queen with a happy face. He asked the queen who is this girl (Naughtiness in the Krishna style). She then told him that it’s all his act and blessing.
The queen then readily accepted her as their daughter. She again named her as Kamalanayani (Lotus eyed one) because she felt that her daughter had similar eyes as her father and she was born out of a lotus flower.
Note: Mata Satyabhama was an incarnation of Bhudevi form of Mata Mahalakshmi. Bhudevi is none other than Mata Bhumidevi. That’s why she was able to kill Narakasura. Narakasura vadh happened long before the birth of Rajkumari Kamalanayani in human form.
She was made the princess of Dvaraka. The whole kingdom rejoiced the birth of their new princess.
But the thing is, she did not remember her atma-dharshan. So she felt that she was the daughter of Lord Krishna only. The moment she took birth she forgot them all.
She was the dearest younger sister to Lord Krishna’s eldest son – Rajkumar Pradyumna. She was keen and a careful to complete the orders of her father and mother. Even her jeisht-pithashree (My grandma told that she used to call like that only) Lord Balarama was very fond of her.
The affectionate and playful nature took her close to her destiny…
