HAPPY DEVOTHANI/PRABODHINI EKADASHI - 22nd Nov 2015

22nd November 2015

HAPPY DEVOTHANI/PRABODHINI EKADASHI

Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha in Kartik month is celebrated as Devothani Ekadashi (Prabhodhini Ekadashi). In Hindu Mythology it is said that on this day, Lord Vishnu concludes his four months rest starting on the Ekadashi of Bhadra Pada. Auspicious functions including marriages are now allowed to take place in the society.

In this year, Devothani is being celebrated on 22nd November 2015. This fast is of special importance and it is said that fast on this day equals to the result of 1000 Ashwamedha Yagna. There is also a custom of performing Jagran and worshiping Lord Hari on this day which is considered very auspicious.


Dev Uthani Ekadashi is famous by various names among the devotees. Some of the famous names are – Prabodhini Ekadashi, Dev Uthani Ekadashi, Dev Utthana Ekadashi, Vishnu Prabodhini or Deothan. Also, this Ekadasi occurs in the Hindu month of Kartik, hence, it is also known as Kartiki Ekadashi.

A fast is observed on Prabodhini Ekadashi and the ritual marriage of the Tulsi plant is performed with god Vishnu, who is regarded as the husband of Tulsi. This ritual marriage is known as Tulsi Vivah and may be conducted on the next day of Prabodhini Ekadashi instead of Prabodhini Ekadashi itself.

Lord Krishna says that if a person fasts on Ekadashi, “I will burn up all his sins. Indeed this day is the most meritorious day for destroying all kinds of sins.” In the three worlds, there is no kind of fasting, which is even comparable to the Ekadashi fast. Even if one performs this fast without a proper attitude, he achieves the Lords Supreme Abode. Anyone who fasts on Ekadashi, with full devotion, the merit one receives cannot be compared to anything else in the three worlds.

IF YOU CANNOT FAST THEN ALSO THERE IS NO PROBLEM, TRY TO WORSHIP LORD HARI WITH FULL DEVOTION, LISTEN TO HIS BHAJANS, OFFER GHEE DEEPAK AND SAINTED INCENSE TO HIM ALONG WITH ANY SWEET. GOD BLESS YOU

SPECIAL IMPORTANCE OF SOMVATI AMAVASYA OR SARVA PITRU AMAVASYA (October 12, 2015) - Perform Shraddha ceremony positively if not done earlier

SOMVATI AMAVASYA - IMPORTANCE AND LEGEND ASSOCIATED WITH IT

Somvati Amavasi, or Somavati Amavasya, is no moon day that falls on a Monday (Somvar) in traditional Hindu calendar. In 2015, Somvati Amavasya date is on October 12, 2015 (Monday).
It is considered a highly auspicious day and millions of people take a holy dip in sacred Rivers like Ganga and Yamuna on the day. If someone is not able to perform Shraddha on all Tithis then single Shraddha (for all) on this day is enough to appease all deceased souls in the family. If death anniversary of ancestors are not known or forgotten then those Shraddhas can be performed on this Tithi. That's why Amavasya Shraddha is also known as Sarvapitra Moksha Amavasya. Also Mahalaya Shraddha for those who died on Purnima Tithi is also done on Amavasya Shraddha Tithi and not on Bhadrapada Purnima.
Married men and women also perform different pujas and rituals and also undertake Somavara Amavasya Vrat.
Though Amavasya occurs every month, Hindus believe it to be most auspicious when it occurs on a Monday. Married women on this day should observe fast on this day for the long life of her husband. Women who want a good match for them should also keep this fast. They should worship Lord Shiva and offer milk and milk mixed water to Shiv Linga. This day is also very auspicious for performing Pitra Tarpan (offering to the ancestors) as it provides peace to their souls. People suffering from Pitra Dosha should also observe this fast as it frees them from this dosha. It is believed that observing this helps us get rid of all the sorrows and problems. People who are suffering problems in their life as well as profession should observe this fast. If they cannot fast at least they should do the things advised below for getting happiness in their life.
The significance of Somvati Amavasya was narrated to Yudhisthira by Bhishma Pitamaha in the epic Mahabharata. It is believed that we can bring peace to our ancestor’s soul by taking a Holy Dip on this day in the sacred River Ganga. Also, the Holy Dip wears away all our sorrows and helps us progress and prosper. The Peepal tree is considered as a sacred tree as per the Indian traditions and on the auspicious day of Somvati Amavasya women tie a sacred thread around its trunk for 108 times. Parikrama around the tree is performed for 108 times and it is offered with milk, sandal paste, flowers and vermillion. Devotees sit under the Peepal tree and chant Mantras to please the Almighty.

Legend associated with Somvati Amavasya

Once upon a time there lived a money lender who had seven sons and one daughter. He married all his sons but could not find a suitable match for his daughter. A monk visited their house regularly and blessed the money lender’s daughters-in-law but never blessed the daughter. The daughter told her mother about this and she confronted the monk with this question. The monk did reply and left quietly. This really worried the mother and she called a Pandit.
The Pandit told her that her daughter was destined to become a widow. The girl’s mother asked the Pandit for a solution to the problem. He told them that there was a washerwoman who lived on the island of Singhal. If that woman agrees to apply vermilion (Sindoor) on the forehead of the girl, her fate will change. The Pandit also told them that observing fast of Somvati Amavasya will also be instrumental in reversing her fate.
The mother sent her daughter and her youngest son to that island. On their way to the island they came across sea shore and wondered how to cross it. Sitting under a tree they saw a vulture’s nest. A male and female vulture lived there with their babies. One day when both vultures had gone out of their nest to fetch some food, a snake entered their nest and attacked the babies. All this was being witnessed by the girl who was sitting there. She immediately jumped to help the vulture babies and saved them from the attack.
When the vultures returned they were really pleased to know what had just happened. As a token of their gratitude they helped the girl to reach the washer woman’s house. After reaching her destination she started living with the washer woman. After a few months the woman was really pleased with the girl and applied vermilion (Sindoor) on her forehead. While returning back to her house she also observed Somvati Amavasya. This reversed her fate and then she lived a happy married life with her husband.

Special Importance of Somvati Amavasya for Pitra Dosha Shanti

Somvati Amavasya is a special day for getting rid of Pitra dosha in your horoscope. I would advise you to consult a good astrologer for knowing specific remedies pertaining to their horoscope. Until then you can do the following remedy for solution of Pitra Dosha.
Crows and the ‘Peepal tree’ are the symbols of forefather. So, you must offer water to the “Peepal tree” on this day. You can offer sweet water, sweets (white) or kheer and Janeu to the Peepal tree on this day and recite the Mantra `OM NAMOH BHAGWATE VASUDEWAY’. Circumambulate the Peepal tree 108 times and then apologize to God for your known and unknown sins.Giving bread to the crows also gives a lot of benefit on this day.
According to the “Shastra” our forefathers come to our house on “Amavasya”, so every person must donate according to his or her capability. Keeping food under the “Babool tree” makes our Forefathers happy.
On every Amavasya we must give five fruits to the cow. No matter what religion you are following, after preparing food you must offer the first bite to a cow in the name of our forefather, so that the family could be blessed by them.

What to do on Somvati Amavasya/Spiritual Significance of this day

Apart from above remedies for Pitra Dosha you can also do the following on Somvati Amavasya:
You can donate food to poor kids.
Fast on this day and worship Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu
Doing Maun (remaining silent) is considered to be very fruitful on this day.
Devotees observing Somvati Vrat must revolve around 108 times around Peepal tree in the morning.
You should chant Lord Shani Mantra “Om Nilaanjana Samaabhasam, Ravi Putram Yamagrajam. Chaya Martanda Samhubhutam, Tama Namami Shanescharam.”
Worship of both Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu on this day would eliminate all your sufferings.
Taking bath in the holy rivers (Like Ganga and Triveni) on Somvati Amavasya is considered to bring prosperity, make you free from diseases, grief and sorrow and help the ancestors to attain salvation.
You can also do parikrama (circumbalate) Basil tree (Tulsi tree) 108 times. It results in elimination of poverty.
You can offer 11 (Eleven) Abhimantrit Gomti Chakra on Shiv Linga on this day to grab favorable opportunities in profession.

HAPPY ANANT CHATURDASHI 2015

Happy Anant Chaturdashi 2015

श्रद्धालुजनों को संकटों से रक्षा करने वाला अनन्तसूत्र बंधन का त्यौहार अनंत चतुर्दशी हिन्दू पंचांग के अनुसार भाद्रपद मास के शुक्लपक्ष की चतुर्दशी तिथि को मनाया जाता है। इस साल अनंत चतुर्दशी का पर्व 27 September 2015 को मनाया जाएगा।

अनंत चतुर्दशी व्रत कथा (Ananat Chaturdashi Vrat Katha in Hindi)

Katha No. 1

भविष्य पुराण के अनुसार जुए में पांडव राजपाट हार कर जब जंगल में भटक रहे थे और कई प्रकार के कष्टों को झेल रहे थे तब भगवान श्री कृष्ण ने उन्हें अनन्त चतुर्दशी का व्रत करने की सलाह दी और उसी व्रत के प्रभाव से पांडव सभी कष्टों से मुक्त हुए और महाभारत के युद्ध में उन्हें विजयी की प्राप्ति हुई थी।

युधिष्ठिर ने पूछा कि अनंत भगवान कौन हैं इनके बारे में बताएं। इसके उत्तर में श्री कृष्ण ने बताया कि यह भगवान विष्णु ही हैं। चतुर्मास में भगवान विष्णु शेषनाग की शैय्या पर अनंत शयन में रहते हैं। अनंत भगवान ने वामन रूप धारण करके दो पग में ही तीनों लोकों को नाप लिया था।

इनके ना तो आदि का पता है न अंत का इसलिए भी यह अनंत कहलाते हैं। इनकी पूजा से नश्चित ही आपके सारे कष्ट समाप्त हो जाएंगे। युधिष्ठिर ने परिवार सहित यह व्रत किया और पुनःराज्यलक्ष्मी ने उन पर कृपा की। युधिष्ठिर को अपना खोया हुआ राज-पाट फिर से मिल गया।

अनंत व्रत कथा

Katha No. 2

प्रचीन काल में सुमन्तु नाम के एक वशिष्ठ गोत्रीय मुनि थे ! उनकी पत्नी का नाम दीक्षा था ! और उनकी पुत्री का नाम शीला था ! दीक्षा के मृत्यु के पश्चात् सुमन्तु मुनि ने करकश से विवाह कर लिया, विवाहोपरांत करकश शीला को बहुत परेसान करती थी ! लेकिन शीला अत्यंत सुशील थी ! सुमन्तु ने अपने पुत्री का विवाह कौंडिन्य मुनि के साथ कर दिया था !
सभी आरम्भ में साथ में ही रहते थे पर सौतेली माँ का व्यवहार देखकर कौंडिन्य मुनि वह आश्रम छोड़ कर चले गए ! जब आश्रम का परित्याग कर आगे बढ़े तो एक नदी के तट पर कौंडिन्य मुनि स्नान हेतु रुक गए !
कौंडिन्य मुनि स्नान कर रहे थे तभी कुछ स्त्रियों का झुण्ड उस नदी पर अन्नत पूजन करने को आया तो शीला उस झुण्ड में शामिल हो गई और उनसे उस व्रत के बारे में पूछा ! ये कौन सा व्रत हैं ? और इसे कैसे और क्यू करते हैं ?
तब वहाँ उपस्थित स्त्रियों ने उस व्रत की सारी महिमा का व्याख्यान किया !
उन्होंने कहा कि - यह अनंत चतुर्दशी का व्रत हैं ! और इस व्रत को करने से मनुष्य जन्म-जन्मांतर के पातकों के कारण अनेक कष्ट पाता है। अनन्त-व्रत के सविधि पालन से पाप नष्ट होते हैं तथा सुख-शांति प्राप्त होती हैं !
इस व्रत को करने के लिए नित्य कर्म आदि से निवृत होकर, स्नान कर कुछ विशेष प्रसाद में घरगा और अनरसे का विशेष भोजन तैयार किया जाता हैं !
आधा भोजन ब्रह्मण को दान में दिया जाता हैं! यह पूजा किसी नदी या सरोवर के किनारे होती हैं ! इसलिए हम सब यहाँ आये है!
दूभ या दूर्वा से नाग का आकर बनाया जाता हैं जिसे बांस के टोकरी में रखकर लाते हैं! और फिर इस नाग शेष अवतार की फूल और अगरबत्ती आदि से पूजा की जाती हैं!
दीप धुप से पूजन के बाद एक सिल्क का सूत्र भगवान को चढाते हैं जो की पूजा के बाद कलाई या भुजा में पहन लिया जाता हैं ! यह सूत्र ही अनंत सूत्र हैं !
इस अनंत के सूत्र में १४ गाँठे होती हैं, और इसे कुमकुम से रंग कर स्त्रियाँ दाहिने हाथ में और पुरुष बाएं हाथ में पहनते हैं !
यह अनंत सूत्र बाँधने और पूजन से सुख सौभाग्य में वृद्धी के साथ दैवीय वैभव की प्राप्ति भी होती हैं !
यह सब विधि पूजन सुनने के बाद शीला भी उस व्रत को करने का संकल्प ले वह व्रत करती हैं और अनंत सूत्र को अपने बाहु में बांध लेती हैं !
शीला ने भाद्र पद मास के शुक्ल पक्ष की चतुर्दशी को अनंत भगवान् का व्रत किया और अनंत सूत्र अपने बांये हाथ में अनंत सूत्र को बाँध लिया !
भगवान् अंनत की कृपा से शीला और कौंडिन्य के घर में सभी प्रकार की सुख - समृद्धि आ गई ! उनका जीवन सुखमय हो गया !
एक दिन कौण्डिन्य मुनि की दृष्टि अपनी पत्नी के बाएं हाथ में बंधे अनन्त सूत्र पर पडी, जिसे देखकर वह भ्रमित हो गए और उन्होंने पूछा-क्या तुमने यह क्या बांधा हैं? शीला ने विनम्रतापूर्वक उत्तर दिया - जी, यह अनंत भगवान का पवित्र सूत्र है। यह पूजन आरम्भ करने के बाद ही हमे यह वैभव और सुख प्राप्त हुआ हैं !
परन्तु परंतु ऐश्वर्य के मद में अंधे हो चुके कौण्डिन्य ने अपनी पत्नी की सही बात को भी गलत समझा ! उस वैभव का कारण उन्होंने अपने परिश्रम और बुद्धिमता को बताया ! और अनन्त सूत्र को जादू-मंतर वाला वशीकरण करने का डोरा समझा !
और दुर्भाग्यवश एक दिन कौंडिन्य मुनि ने क्रोध में आकर शीला के हाथ में बंधा अनंत सूत्र तोड़कर आग में फेंक दिया !
इससे उनकी सब धन और संपत्ति नष्ट हो गई और वे बहुत दुखी रहने लगे ! कौंडिन्य मुनि को अब भाष हो गया था कि वह सारा वैभव अनंत व्रत के प्रभाव से ही था !
उन्होंने तभी संकल्प किया कि वह अपने इस गलत कृत का प्रायश्चित करेंगे और तब तक ताप करेंगे जब तक कि भगवान अनंत स्वयं उन्हें दर्शन न दे दे !
एक दिन दुखी होकर कौंडिन्य मुनि वन में चले गए ! वन में उन्होंने देखा कि एक आम का वृक्ष पके हुए आम से भरा पीडीए हैं पर कोई भी उसके फल को नहीं खा रहा हैं ! तब पास आकर देखा तो उस पुरे वृक्ष पर कीड़े लगे थे ! उस वृक्ष से कौंडिन्य मुनि ने पूछा की आपने अनंत भगवान् को देखा है ?
लेकिन उत्तर ऋणात्मक ही मिला !
आगे जाने पर उन्होंने देखा कि एक गाय और उसके बछड़े को, आगे और जाने पर एक बैल मिला सब एक हरे भरे मैदान में थे पर कोई भी घास नहीं खा रहा था ! फिर आगे जाने पर दो नदियों को देखा जो एक दूसरे से एक किनारे पर मिल रही थी ! पर उसके पानी को भी कोई नहीं ले रहा था ! इस प्रकार सभी से उन लता, वृक्ष, जीव - जंतुओं, से अनंत भगवान का पता पूछने लगे ! पर सब ने मन कर दिया तब वह निराश हो अपने जीवन का अंत करने की सोच आगे बड़े तो दयानिधि भगवान् अनंत वृद्ध ब्राह्मण के रूप में कौंडिन्य मुनि को दर्शन दिया और अनन्त व्रत करने को कहा !
भगवान ने मुनि से कहा-तुमने जो अनन्त सूत्र का तिरस्कार किया है, यह सब उसी का फल है। इसके प्रायश्चित हेतु तुम चौदह वर्ष तक निरंतर अनन्त-व्रत का पालन करो। इस व्रत का अनुष्ठान पूरा हो जाने पर तुम्हारी नष्ट हुई सम्पत्ति तुम्हें पुन:प्राप्त हो जाएगी और तुम पूर्ववत् सुखी-समृद्ध हो जाओगे। कौण्डिन्यमुनिने इस आज्ञा को सहर्ष स्वीकार कर लिया।
शीला और कौंडिन्य मुनि ने अनंत व्रत को किया और वे पुनह सुख पूर्वक रहने लगे ! इस् व्रत को करने से मुक्ति और भुक्ति दोनों की उपलब्धि होती हैं !
अनन्त-व्रत के सविधि पालन से पाप नष्ट होते हैं तथा सुख-शांति प्राप्त होती है। कौण्डिन्यमुनि ने चौदह वर्ष तक अनन्त-व्रत का नियमपूर्वक पालन करके खोई हुई समृद्धि को पुन:प्राप्त कर लिया।

अनंत चतुर्दशी व्रत विधि (Anant Chaturdashi Puja Vidhi in Hindi)

इस दिन व्रती को प्रातः काल स्नान कर कलश की स्थापना कर कलश पर अष्टदल कमल के समान बने बर्तन में कुश से निर्मित अनंत की स्थापना करना चाहिए और फिर शास्त्रानुसार भगवान अनंत के साथ- साथ भगवान विष्णु और विघ्नहर्ता गणेश जी का आवाहन कर उनकी पूजा करनी चाहिए।

अनंत चतुर्दशी का पर्व हिंदू हिन्दुओं के साथ- साथ जैन समाज के लिए भी महत्त्वपूर्ण और कामनाओं से भरा है। जैन धर्म के दशलक्षण पर्व का इस दिन समापन होता है। जैन अनुयायी श्रीजी की शोभायात्रा निकालते हैं और भगवान का जलाभिषेक करते हैं।

This day is also associated with Visarjan of Ganesh Ji. On this day the idol of Ganapati is immersed in river, lake or sea which is also known as Ganapati Visarjan. This festival is celebrated mainly in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Gujarat in India. The festival falls on the fourteenth day of Bhadrapad month and is observed on the tenth day after Ganesh Chaturthi. Both males and females wear a sacred thread of Anant Chaudas round the neck, arm or sometimes tie it at the main entrance of their homes. It is believed that by doing this Lord Ganesh will bless them with prosperity, happiness and wealth while leaving the house and will take away all their sorrows and miseries.

Worship Lord Ganesha and Lord Vishnu today to get good health, wealth and success.

HAPPY JANMASHTAMI

Date – Saturday, September 5, 2015

About the Festival

Krishna Janmashtami is the celebration of the birth of Lord Shri Krishna, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who is believed to have been born about five thousand years ago in Mathura in 'Dwapar Yuga'. Krishna Janmashtami is also known as Ashtami Rohini, Srikrishna Jayanti, Krishnashtami, Saatam Aatham, Gokulashtami and sometimes simply as Janmashtami. 



This festival is observed on Ashtami tithi, the eighth day of the dark half or Krishna Paksha of the month of Bhadrapada in the Hindu calendar, when the Rohini Nakshatra is ascendant. This is usually in the months of August and September in the Gregorian calendar. The festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm and vigor by Hindus all over India and abroad. People observe fast the whole day, sing hymns and conduct prayers at midnight to rejoice the birth of Lord. Raslila, dramatic enactments of the life of Krishna, are a special feature that is showcased in every part of the country, as it re-creates the flirtatious aspects of Krishna's youthful days. Another interesting aspect of Krishna Janmashtami is the practice of Dahi-Handi. This game portrays the playful and mischievous side of Krishna, where teams of young men form human pyramids to reach a high-hanging pot of butter and break it.

Brief Significance and History of Festival

According to the Puranas Krishna took birth on the 8th lunar day (Ashtami) of the waning moon of the month of Smvana at midnight, upon the moon's entrance into Rohini asterism. This day is marked as Janmashtami. Krishna is one of the most worshipped Gods in India and belongs to the Hindu Trinity. He is believed to be one of the eight incarnations of Lord Vishnu. The story of birth of Krishna is an intriguing one. The story goes like this: One day Mother Earth was appalled by the number of sins that were being committed on her surface. She went to Brahma that God of the Gods and appealed to him for help. Brahma, after listening to her, appealed to Lord Vishnu who said that He would take birth on earth and His avatar will destroy every kind of sin that was being committed on earth then. During that time, Mathura was in miserable state as Kansa, brother of Devki, had put his father, King Ugrasen in prison and declared himself the new king. To put an end to his evil rule, Lord Vishnu decided to take birth in the human form. As such, at the wedding ceremony of Devki and Vasudev, there was a divine prophecy which proclaimed that Vasudeva's eighth son would kill Kansa. To protect himself, Kansa rushed to kill his sister but gave up the idea of killing after being assured by Vasudev that he will hand over all his children to Kansa. Kansa put his brother-in-law and sister in prison. Kansa killed all the six infants as soon as they were born. The seventh child (Balram) was saved due to divine intervention, when he was transferred from Devki's womb to that of Rohini's (other wife of Vasudev).

As Devki conceived the eighth child, everything around was imbued with benevolence and majestic beauty. Lord Krishna was born in the divine form with lotus like eyes, his palms bearing the signs of a lotus, while his sole has a swastika sign. He was adorned with jewels and was wearing a crown. Just as he was born at midnight, a chain of events astonished Vasudev, when he saw the gates of the cell flow open and all the guards fast asleep. He immediately thought of Nand, his close friend in Gokul and decided to hand over his child to him in order to save him from the clutch of Kansa. Crossing the River Yamuna, Vasudev reached Nand's residence and exchanged his son with Nand's daughter. Upon reaching the prison, the door got locked behind him and he was chained again as if nothing happened in between. The guards also woke up and after hearing the cry of the baby, informed Kansa about the birth of the eighth child. Just as Kansa rushed to kill the baby, it slipped out of his hand and flew towards the sky, proclaiming that the annihilator of Kansa was born and was safe.

How to Celebrate Janmasthami

I think the festival is an opportunity for us to thank Him for all that He has given to us. As we enjoy attention and fun on our birthday, so does Lord also enjoys our attention on His appearance day. Worship Him in a way that you can relate yourself with the lord and in this love and devotion you will get immense happiness and satisfaction.

1. First of all you can decorate your home for Lord Krishna. Clean your home thoroughly and invite Lord to come to your house. It would be fun, particularly for children. Encourage them in helping to make garlands, hanging balloons and festoons of leaves, and making the house beautiful for Krishna’s appearance.

2.  Listen to Lord Krishna Bhajans and recite Mahamantra of Lord.

3.  If you have Radha-Krishna deities, get extra special new outfits for them. Exercise your creativity and pay special attention to decorating their altar.  Hold Abhisheka bathing ceremony for your deities. Simply buy different liquids like yogurt, honey, ghee and fruit juices and bathe the deity with them while singing devotional songs.

4. You must cook one special dish for the Lord which should be offered to Lord and then taken as Prasad by you. Imagine that Krishna is actually right near you in your house and you are offering this dish to Him.

5. Meditate as long as possible on this day and you can recite Lord Mahamantra also. Visit any Lord Krishna temple if possible and immerse yourself in the presence of Lord there.

6. You can bring a cake for the lord. It should be an eggless cake. Cut the cake in the midnight at 12 o Clock and have midnight Aarti (worship ceremony) with a kirtan. This is the exact time that Krishna appeared on this planet, so it is most auspicious and spiritually inspiring

7. Krishna has an immense love for cows. On the birthday of Lord Krishna, you must feed cows. You can offer anything like bread, green grass, chapati or any thing which you think would be liked by the cows. This would definitely give you mental peace, satisfaction and happiness and would also improve your planet Venus. 

8. I am reproducing Krishna Mahamantra below. Chant this mantra and feel the divine presence. Enjoy each and every bit of His visit. He is here only, today and always. Feel Him, Love Him and Worship Him.

                                   HAPPY JANMASHTAMI 2015
