rules to be followed for margazhi vratha ritual

Dear all,

namaste. after seeing the objective of the ritual, qualification to undertake a ritual, the aim and purpose of these to attain Sri Krishna, who can only give Himself, now let us see the rules to be observed for the ritual, these rules are for the participants who believes in Lord Sri Krishna, the Lord of Lords to give Himself to the pure devotees.

வையத்து வாழ்வீர்காள்! நாமும் நம் பாவைக்குச்
செய்யும் கிரிசைகள் கேளீரோ! பாற் கடலுள்
பையத் துயின்ற பரமன் அடி பாடி,
நெய் உண்ணோம், பால் உண்ணோம், நாட்காலே நீராடி,
மையிட்டு எழுதோம், மலர் இட்டு நாம் முடியோம்,
செய்யாதன செய்யோம், தீக்குறளை சென்று ஓதோம்,
ஐயமும் பிச்சையும் ஆந்தனையும் கை காட்டி
உய்யுமாறு எண்ணி உகந்து — ஏலோர் எம்பாவாய்.

The Gopas and Gopikas were very fortunate to have Sri Krishna as their friend, philosopher and Guide.  In both the cases of Sri Rama and Sri Krishna, the people were very attached to them. In Rama’s case people of Ayodhya followed Sri Rama when He left for forest.  In the same of way Gopies of Nandagav, they were not to able to accept the separation of Sri Krishna from them.

We must clearly know the distinction between attachment and devotion.  Dasaratha had attachment and Gopies had devotion.

When we have devotion even death cannot separate it. But attachment can easily separated by death.

Rituals are of many types… to attain name, fame, to destroy enemy , to attain for desired fruits etc.., apart from this rituals can also be classified under selfless aims, to do good for all, to love the nature, to love our fellowmen, to destroy our selfish nature etc.,

paraman adi paadi… we must sing the praise of the Lord Sri Krishna that too the Praise of His holy feet, where are the four vedas search their purpose.

Neiyyunnoom paalunnoom…. neiy is ghee and pal is milk.. both present in each other and which strengthens the body.. and not for soul.. The gopies declare that they are in the ritural ie vratha and they do not give importance to their body…

naarkale neeradi… three important principles of life… taking bath early in the morning…speaking truth… discharging ones own duty without any hesitation..

we will not decorate our eyes, because the kind sight and kind vision is the ornament for the eyes.

taking bath early and ever ready to serve God and His devotees are the better things to be done by the body.

speaking truth is the ornament for mouth and tongue..

discharge of owns own duty is the ornament for soul.

we will not hurt anyone even they are not devotees of our beloved God Sri Krishna, we will speak only kind and the leela of our Great God,…with these decorations we wait for you oh Sri Krishna..

Sri Krishnaya namaha…

Margazhi -1

Dear Friends,

namaste.

Here the month of margazhi has come. These days are very auspicious.  full moon light.. enjoy the beauty. moon like faced ones common on. start now. sing in praise of Sri Krishna… Dear girls you live comfortably here with the thinking of Sri Narayana and you are all wearing all beautiful ornaments which adds beauty to your natural beauty.

First we have to sing the praise of time.. kala.. kal which is more powerful than anything.   In the Bhagavat Gita Sri Krishna declares that  among the moths He Himself is Margazhi.. it is brahma muhurtha and dawn is the time of and the primary tendency of sattva or purity to enjoy the Atman, the pure God-consciousness.

Margazhi  is called Margasirsa.. marga means a way, sirsa means to attain God..God is attained through karmayoga ie action without expecting reward (nirkamakarma), Jananayoga  ie realisation of self and bhaktiyoga devotion to God.  But i tell you none of these ways can bring the God closer to us.  In fact, God along should come close to us. Margasirsa insists us to have faith  that God alone is the means to attain God.

listen the glory of Sri Krishna..

i am going to narrate about Sri Krishna,  Sri Krishna is the son of Nandagopa, who loves his son ever keeps alert .. Sri Krishnas mother is Yasodha whose bhakti is not understood by great sages like Narada, her lion cub son is Sri Krishna.

now let us enjoy the beauty of Sri Krishna son of Yasodha and Nandagopa. Sri Krishna ‘s body is like the dark of dark cloud, His eyes bright as red lotua petals, His face radiating divine charm, who is none but Narayana Himself.

His work is to give us what we needed, whatever we have it is HIS PRASAD. He is the giver and fulfillers of all our wishes.

Suitable time to do ritual….

by whom the ritual to be sone..

what should they do..

what they should obtain as the fruit of this ritual…

Now we need to do Durga pooja for which we need the ancient musical instrument parai and we will request Sri Krishna, giver of anything to His pure devotees…

Parai is  a drum, played by hands, keeping near the heart and by singing  and dancing.

it is an important instrument for this ritual, which is the means of highest end.

Parai signifies the three important activities of the mind, tongue and body.

parai is kept near the heart. We sing and dance which playing the parai.

Bath is merging with Sri Krishna because all the jeevathmas are river and Sri Krishna is the Ocean..

Sri Krishna is Nadhi , river we are all drops of water.. Sri Krishna is water we must purify ourselves by uttering the name of Sri Krishna always.

All of you join now to take holy bath and will do Durga Pooja to attain the LORD OF LORDS SRI KRISHNA..

OM SRI KRISHNAYA NAMAHA..

 

 

 

 

Kitchen… Is our Medical store

Namaste all.

Now all great dietician in India are advising …bring out the metals in your kitchen….

It is advisable to replace nonstick cookware and plastic, steel plates with traditional kitchen and cookware.

Above all, good health is most important and it starts only from the kitchen.

We have to choose and use right utensils, the right plates and right glasses which can make all the good food difference to our general health, immunity, skin and most importantly to our digestion.

1. Use iron Kadai to make vegetables and chappati.

2. Use pital -brass pots to make dols and kichadi

3. Use silver or kansa plates or glasses to eat and drink.

Honest and Wise

Namaste.

A person who surrenders when wrong is honest.

A person who surrenders when not sure is wise.

…. Swami Sivananda

So we have to be honest and Wise..when we are wrong we accept and apologize and correct ourselves.. in this context I remember a song Thirudathe pappa Thirudathe..

சிந்தித்து பார்த்து செய்கையை மாற்று

சிறுசா இருக்கையில் திருத்திக்கோ…தவறு

சிறுசா இருக்கையில் திருத்திக்கோ..

தெரிந்ததும் தெரியாமல் நடந்திருந்தா.. அது திரும்பவும் வராம பார்த்துக்கோ…

So be honest and be wise. God bless us all.

Sudharshana also means a powerful illuminator.

Sudharshana will destroy the wicked persons and protect the sadhus. Yogis can use Sudharshana as a torch to show them the right path of Dharma.

Food for thought – Faith in ourselves

Namaste all.

The cornerstones of Faith and Confidence | Magic of Awakening

In Tamil there was one great poet Kaniyan  Poongundran said,

Nandrum Theedhum Pirar thara vaara

Swami Vivekananda says:

swami vivekananda | Love Motivated Life

The ideal of faith in ourselves is of the greatest help to us….

We have to accept that we are responsible for our current situation.

What we are today, is only because of us.

We have to accept that we are responsible for our current level of capability.

We have to accept that we are responsible for our responses and choices.

We have to help ourselves.

We have to take decisions and find solutions for our problems.

We have to be strong enough that is have grit to struggle through any problem.

We have to be strong enough and should not give up.

we have to develop faith in ourselves to help ourselves rather than wanting and waiting for others to help.

Swami Vivekananda says:

The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves.  That faith calls our the divinity within.

If you have faith in all the three hundred and thirty millions of your mythological Gods, and in all the Gods which foreigners have now and again introduced into your midst, and still have no faith in yourselves, there is no salvation for you.  Have faith in yourselves and stand up on that faith and be strong. that is what we need.

Have the faith, each one you, in yourself – that eternal power is lodged in every soul – and you will receive the whole of India.

Do not say we are weak; we can do anything and everything.  What can we not do? Everything can be done by us; we all have the same glorious soul, let us believe in it.

A Journey of the Atman and the Nature of Man: Katha Upanishad, An ...

Have faith, as Nachiketa.  At the time of his father’s sacrifice, faith came unto Nachiketa; ah, I wish that faith would come to each one of you would stand up a giant, a world-mover with a gigantic intellect – an infinite God in every respect. That is what I want you to become.

…. yes Swamiji… I am saying I am not weak; we are not weak.  I am strong I am grit. we are strong.

I can do anything and we can do everything. I have the same amount, why much more than that faith Nachiketa had.. I will become fearless and faithful. Swamiji..
