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..

Sri Purandaradasa says…

Millions of people take a sea bath, river bath or some form of ...What is the use of dipping the body in the water, if the person doesn’t have firm devotion in mind.                                                                                                          Making donations and Charities is itself bath.                                                            Knowing the tenets of philosophy and knowledge is itself bath.                          Giving up low sinful acts is itself bath.
