Importance of rain and cow – the fruit of vratha

The main objective of this Thiruppavai vratha is union with Sri Krishna.  our objective for any vratha will tell us who we are that is if the aim is for heaven then we like pleasure. if the aim is to attain the Lord Sri Krishna then we become parabrahmam.

First we sing the glory of Sri Narayana…

second we sing the glory of paraman ….adi padi

now we sing the glory of uttaman per padi…

God of Gods Sri Krishna begged Mahabali for the sake of His devotee Indra.. begging got purity by His act. His Growth is not to take away the wealth and Punya of Mahabali it is to protect him. Lord Sri Krishna stands as watchman in the gates of Mahabali..

if we sing the glory of Lord and humans observe all important vrathas by kaya, vacha and manasa, then there will be rainfall without fail and there will not be any overflow of water, the crops will be free from pests.

it is said that the rainfall depends upon the nature and character of Brahmins those who treat all equal and see Brahman in all jeevas, Kings who rule the country without any personal attachment and women whose chastity will bring rain in time and of course of right quantity.

Cows give milk to Sri Krishna and Krishna plays flute for the cows to give milk..

without rain the world cannot survive.. cow is God.. Vrathas bring fortune to the place where these ladies of high vratha lives.

Lord Krishna with Radha

Om Sri Narayanaya namaha..Om Sri Krishnaya Namaha.

Om Sri Gopi Vallabhaya namaha..

Dear all nameste..

Do you know the reason why this world, earth is still here … the reasons are:

உண்டா லம்மவிவ் வுலக மிந்திரர்

அமிழ்ந்த மியைவ தாயினும் மினிதெனத்

தமிய ருண்டலு மிலரே முனிவிலர்

துஞ்சலு மிலர்பிற ரஞ்சுவ தஞ்சிப்

புகழெனி னுயிருங் கொடுக்குவர் பழியெனின்

உலகுடன் பெறினுங் கொள்ளளல ரயர்விலர்

அன்ன மாட்சி யனையராகித்

தமக்கென முயலா நோன்றாட்

பிறர்க்கௌ முயலுந ருண்மை யானே.

  • கடலுள் மாய்ந்த இளம்பெரும்வழுதி, புறநானூறு 182

அமிழ்தம் தெய்வத்தாலோ, தவத்தாலோ தமக்கு வந்து கூடுவதாயினும், அதனை இனிதென்று கொண்டு தனித்து உண்டலும் இலர்;

யாரோடும் வெறுப்பிலர்;

பிறர் அஞ்சத்தகும் துன்பத்திற்குத் தாமும் அஞ்சி,

அது தீர்த்தற் பொருட்டு சோம்பியிருத்தலும் இலர்;

புகழ் கிடைக்குமாயின் தம் உயிரையும் கொடுப்பர்;

பழியெனின் அதனால் உலகம் முழுதும் பெறினும் கொள்ளார்;  மனக்கவலை இல்லார்;

அத்தகைய மாட்சிமைப்பட்ட தன்மையராய்,

தமக்கென முயலாது பிறர்க்கென முயலும் சான்றோர் உளராதலால் இவ்வுலகம் இருக்கின்றது.

the world here because of selfless people and by their discipline.. we must have the quality of selfishlessness…..Dr.V.Meenakshi Jayakumar

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.

… Prof. V. V. Meenakshi Jayakumar.

Time is considered to be cyclic and not linear.

Lord Sudharshana is referred and worshipped in the form of chakra only.  Sri Krishna’s unfailing weapon is Sri Sudharshana chakra.

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.

In our human body we believe that we have six chakra in specific parts of our body.

What are chakras in human body? - Quora

Above all, the human worldly life is always referred us samsara chaktra. Once any human caught in the Samsara chaktra, will find it very difficult to come out of it.
