Let us purify our ignorance - Deva Deepawali article

Ganga!

The word makes the tongue to get relished with purity and divinity.

It makes the mind to think about the sins we have committed out of selfishness and ignorance.

The holy river Ganga is considered to be the selfless mother to accept all of us in a big world society.

She accepts every object thrown into her from a sacred flower to a decaying dead body.

Her appearance in Varanasi is worst with grave yards dumping human ashes, bodies etc.

But she accepts and never changes from her purity.

Acceptance of the situation and reality of people makes one to come out of all issues.

That acceptance is the medication for any problem in our life.

Water is the symbol of mind and it always refers to the instability nature of mind.

Ganga is the symbol of a pure mind with awareness about birth and death.

Her Varanasi Ghats remove the fear of death and physical attachment.

Her selfless nature made Shiva to hold her on his locks of hair and celebrate her.

He is being named as ''GANGADHARA'' - adorned with Ganga.

Just taking bath and performing rituals does not make us to transform.

It is the step to take forward to be selfless and serve the nature and all beings in name of TRUTH.

Baheeratha out of his selfless devotion made Ganga to come to Earth.

Every water body on land for a Vedic person is Ganga. Ganga is the symbol of service.

Deva Deepawali for Ganga on Karthik poornima [Thirukarthigai] is the day dedicated by our ancestors to have the celebrations and thinking about us.

Let the emotions be always for positive thinking.

Let the plans of minds be for constructive purposes.

The human intelligence thinks about water pollution and conservation.

Ganga pooja and arthi on Devadeepawali is not only physical and emotional and it must be taken to the awareness level to purify us from ignorance.

Happy Deva Deepawali! [25.11.2105]

UNI5 Vaikunda Yekaadesi

Sakthi Foundation

UNI5 Vaikunda Yekadesi

Yekadesi is the auspicious thithi for Vishnu worship.

In India many people take physical fasting on this day.

Each part of India celebrates any one Yekadesi as a very important one.

Pandaripur Pandu Ranga celebrates Aaashaata month Yekadesi.

SriRangam and other Tamil Nadu Vishnu temples celebrates Maagazhi month [Dec-Jan] Yekadesi as Vaikunda Yekadesi.

Why?

This month is called dhanur month in Sanskrith which is winter in all parts of the nation. In early morning people have time in olden days to wake up and spend lot of time in rituals and poojas. Taking bath in sacred tanks, pools, rivers are considered to be very special in this month and this month is considered to be the dawn for Devas.

This month gives lot of time for rituals and rest [olden India] to have pilgrimages also. A devotee has lot of time to enrich his SAL energy.

Sri Aandal hence selected this month for her fasting and worship to Lord Vishnu through her Thirupaavai.

In olden days unmarried women undergo fasting for Devi in this moth to have good husband.

An atman also under goes the same fasting and poojas to seek the abode and care of the Bhraman.

In SriRangam Lord performs the drama.

He acts like an atman that evolves from a simple state to conscious state.

The midnight before Yekadesi dawn is very special.

Lord takes MOHINI form. This Mohini depicts the illusion behind all objects and matters.  When we realize the truth we are free from stress and worries. By this mind is free and relieved from all desires at one stage. By this the mind never longs for another birth to relish the longings.

This is being dramatized in SriRangam.

Lord after Mohini form takes abishekam and wears the valuable gems stud kavacham - RATHNA ANGI, also wears the garland with many parrot - KILI MAALAI. Parrot is the symbol of saying truth.

He opens the doors - Vikunda vaasal and comes out and moves to the 1000 pillar hall which is the symbol of Vaikunda - liberated stage.

Along with lord idols of Aacharyas are taken out. This shows the importance of a guru in spiritual life.

So we need to understand the meaning of all these festivals and decorations and link with us to evolve. [Yekadesi in SriRangam - December 21st]

Brave women after Daakshaayini - Veera Maathy Amman

Sakthi Foundation

Brave women after Dakshayini

We all are aware that there are 51 Sakthi peetams were universal energy as Goddess is being worshiped in various forms and names.

In Rajasthan we have lot of Sathi temples dedicated to brave women who sacrificed their life after their husband's death.

In Tamil Nadu especially in western parts of the state we can come across a name called ''Veera maathy Amman'' or ''Thee paandha Amman''.

One who has bravely killed herself to safe guard the pride and respect of her husband - Veera maaithi

One who shed her body into the holy pier is Thee paaindhi.

Even though these two terms refers to brave warriors' wives, but the root for this brave cult of respect begins from Dakshaayini.

Dakshaayini after being insulted by her own father in the yagna does not want to have any more relation physically - emotionally - intellectually - awareness state with him. She could not hold the ill-treatment and disrespect given to her husband Shiva. So she shed her body into the pier and died. Her body parts were chopped and buried in various parts of India and small memorial toms as shrines were erected for brave worship. These are Sakthi peetams.

Same way we have to connect these Veera maaithi and Thee paindha Devies. These women do not want to get demoralized or disrespected by society and other men. They considered that is a great insult their married life and became Sathi. Those who do not have attachment with the life after their husband’s death take this decision.

The word SATHI also directly refers to a woman who is a beloved and best friend supporter of her partner. This refers first to Dakshaayini.

With this very ancient cult, Tamil Nadu idol making formulae depicted flames around the head or crowns of Devies. These women were respected as Parvathy’s incarnation.

In Chennai just very near to Vadapazhani police station we have a very old Thee paaindha amman shrine. [One who jumped into the pier]

So with this view try to relate the warriors' wives and energy.

6 enemies within us - Skandha sashti special

Parent Category: Blog

Hits: 3111

Sakthi Foundation

Skandha Sashti

The word ''skandhaa'' means kindness.

Skandha or Karthikeya or Muruga or Subramanya is considered to be a highest form of Bhramam in Vedic scriptures. This energy is the symbol of ultimate wisdom - gnana.

Muruga's birth is the symbol of Shiva sakthy.

Muruga's legends are being well said by Vyasa in Skandha puranam - the largest one among 18 puranas.

He is much celebrated in Tamil Nadu and he is considered to be the pattern of Tamil language and celebrated as ''God of Tamil and Tamils''.

Poet Nakeera has documented the ancient most 6 abodes of Muruga in his literature ''Thiru Murugaatru padai'' in 2 A.D. Those abodes are now his ''aaru padai veedu''.

Thiruparangundram - symbol of family life, wedding and accepting all in family.

Thiruchendur - symbol of removing our self-ego through pure wisdom.

Pazhani - symbol of true knowledge and detached state of mind with materials.

Swami malai - symbol of wisdom and experience without age limit.

Thiruthani - self-contented mind.

Pazhamudhir solai - symbol of realizing the eternal TRUTH within us.

All the above said abodes are well described in Thirumurugaatrupadai and this is the earliest devotional scripture in Tamil.

Skandha sasti fasting beings from prathma after Deepawali Ammavasya and lasts for 6 days. Thiruchendur is the place where Muruga penanced and transformed 3 demons who are the symbol of ego's nature.

This viratham is considered to be a very auspicious one. A Tamil proverb says that if one fasts during Sasti, he or she will be blessing with anything they wish.

This fasting is again looked in physical, emotional and intellectual levels.

Body is being cleansed and mind is being turned away from negative attitudes. Srimath Pamban Siddar says, ‘‘we have to quarrel against shat pagai - 6 enemies within during sasti''.

Murugan's 6 faces can also be identified with the wisdom of spirit within a devotee to transform the wrong attitudes.

Muruga transforms the ego into his mount, cock and peacock which shows that we have to channelize our negative attitudes towards creative ideas and actions.

Utsava moorthy - Jeyanthi nadhar performs soor samhaaram in Thiruchendur on Sasti evening.

Many Subramanya temples also celebrate this great occassion for 6 days.

Skandha sasti kavacham, Shanmuga kavacham, skandha guru kavacham makes one to shift to level of divine awareness.

This fasting is a very good occasion to increase the SAL ENERGY for child birth.

kaama

kobam

Jealous

Miser attitude

Gossiping nature

Self-boasting are the major 6 enemies within us which has to be transformed.

Murugan performs pancha bootha poojas to pancha linga and receives Sakthivel - spear from Devi. This shows the importance of man's focusing towards energy.

Let us focus in 6 enemies within us from attacking us.

Jeshtaa Devi

Sakthi Foundation

Jeshtaa Devi – Moodevi worship

The word Moodevi in Tamil is an abusive word to say, ‘’unlucky person’’. Mootha Devi is Moo Devi. This has been twisted as Moodevi. Mootha Devi means ‘’One who has come out of milky ocean before Mahalaxmi.’’

She is considered to be the deity and energy of bad luck or poverty, famine, drought and unlucky on the whole she is the energy of Dhaarithriyam.

But do you know she is being once praised and worshiped by our kings and ancestors in temples?

Do you know she is being accepted by Jainism also?

Today one can find many left out Mootha Devi [Jeshta Devi] in many temples and farms of Tamil country.

The Tamil term mootha refers to Jeshta in Sanskrith. Jeshta is the term giving us the higher meaning of ‘’very first’’, ‘’highest’’.

What makes her highest?

She is the 7th energy in Devi worship – Dhoomavathy. Dasa mahaa Vidhyaa is the highest tantric cult for energy generation in Sakthism.

She is depicted as old, widow, flying upon a crow, holding winnowing pan and broom stick.

Can we decode Dhoomavathy or Moodevi?

She is the symbol of an age old atman after passing across several birth cycles and becoming tired and waiting for moksham.

So she is being symbolized as an old aged person.

She is a widow. Widow is the symbol of atman that lost all desires.

She holds the broom stick and pan which are the symbols of internal cleansing of mind.

She is the giver of dhaarithriyam to all desires and all unwanted, unacceptable, unhealthy desires.

She removes all materialistic pleasures from us and makes the mind only to focus in spirituality.

She is the best blessing energy of spiritual energy to evolve towards moksham.

She is being highly focused in dasa maha vidhya.

This shows in ancient times India did not ill-treated widows. They had a very special place in spiritual practices.

So on this Deepawali day I am focusing on her as Dhoomavathy.

Sorry to tell that our ancestors are very clever, they knew that one time this energy will be mis-understood and they have made this energy in other form. That is being worshiped all across south as very popular Goddess. Sorry I don’t say it out….

Om Sakthy!

Deepawali and Kaala Bairava

Sakthi Foundation

Deepawali and Kala Bairava

Bhrama Deva actually had 5 heads. Each head depicts body, mind, intelligence, awareness and consciousness. He was the creator. Once he has been well worshiped by Vedic people.

But legends say when man through in material intelligence evolves his ego also increased and he lost his conscious state. This is because he too now lost his awareness in many aspects.

This truth is being said by a deed done by Shiva.

Once Bhrama performed a great yanga and he was behaving with more smartness and ego.

At one stage he stopped offering ahuthi - ghee and few sacred prasad inside holy pier to each energy.

Immediately Shiva created Kala Bairava from his 3rd eye and Bairava peeled off Bhrama's head of consciousness.

Kala Bairava is being created in the grave yards of Varanasi.

He is the guardian for the holy city.

He is the energy of time, wisdom to shed our ego.

Ahorism cult started from Kala Bairva.

In Tamil Nadu all Kali and Maare amman idols are Bairavi forms [female energy within Kala bairava]

Each Shiva temple has kala bairava to whom night poojas are done.

All 51 Sakthi peetams are having kala bairava as the symbol of awareness to female energy for transformation to bhraman's state.

Deepawali is the day Bairava was created. This night is called ‘’kaala rathry’’.

So auspicious prayers can be done to him by Kala Bairava ashthithram and Shankara's kala bairava ashtakam.

He is the mrithyu energy for our boasting and self - ego attitude. 

Krishnapaksha ashtami day is the auspicious night for Bairava upasana.

The most horrible fearsome Bairava is in Katmandu Pasupathy nath temple.

Kasi Bairava shrine was once the time meridian line for India. English education removed that feature.

Bairava's vahanam is dog - symbol of time energy.

Aadhi shankara was tested for his ego-less state at Kasi  by Bairava in Chandaala form.

He also removes the fear of death.

So in this Deepawali let us focus in Kala bairava.

Deepawali and Kedara Gowri Pooja for husband wife harmony

Deepawali and Kedara Gowri Pooja
 
We all know from legends that Parvathy did penance  and resided in the left half of Shiva as Ardhanaree. This form of Shiva sakthi is the symbol of equality, bhraman transforms as Parasakthi, sakthi is the mirror image of bhraman, responsibility of man and woman in family and society, equality to woman hood etc.
 
It is also the symbol of female energy and male energy within us. 
 
This Kerada Gowri pooja is being observed on Ammavasya day with Deepawali festival in Andra and northern part of Tamil nadu as an auspicious day.
 
My ancestors have migrated from Kanchipuram to western part of Tamil Nadu before 500 years. They have installed the family deity Varadharajan [Vishnu] along with Kedara Gowri Ambika in our village - THUDUPATHY near Perundurai town in Erode district.
 
I have heard many legends about the fame of this pooja through my  grand mother and mother.
 
Even couple after marriage is being initiated with this pooja on Deepawali day which is a very special occasion in our village like another wedding ceremony.
 
To my knowledge Kedara  Gowri Devi has temple only in my village.
 
Devi is 4 feet tall standing with lotus in her hands under the pee pal tree in penance form.
 
Her utsava moorthy is very beautiful with 4 hands holding abhayam - varadham, akshara mala and lotus depicting Vaani - Ramaa and Umaa.
 
Legends say that Gowri [Parvathy] as Aparna [one who attained Shiva by severe fasting] meditated in Kedar Nath. Devi installed the jothir linga there. The Himalayan peak behind the Kedar nath shrine is a sakthi peetam and it is known as ''Su Meru''. This is being worshiped as ''maha meru'' upon which in bindhu, Shivasakthi is being meditated.
 
This pooja is based on Devi's penance. Woman who took initiation fast from Naraga chathurdasi evening. On ammavasya day they cook specific onion less, garlic less food to Devi. In olden times women even fasted at nights for 21 days.
 
Every dish is placed in a banana leaf and it is placed upon a new bamboo muram or plate and taken to temple. With the lady her husband has to go. Devi will be decorated in penance posture. The wife will offer her respect to Devi and offer that food and new garments and she will be given rice powder [maa vilakku] prasadham and a sacred thread with 21 knots. Her husband will tie to her neck or wrist or upper arm.
 
Then she prays to her husband as her Shivam. After coming home the husband will make her to complete the fasting by serving the food.
 
By eveing Devi is taken out for grand procession. By this time people arrange rangoli, wear new dress, arrange lights and lamps and celebrate Deepawali in our village. Still I can see this grand pooja is being observed in Chennai.
 
At home install kalasam and do aavaahanam with Gowri.
Light lamps and place a new dress, sacred turmeric paste smeared thread, sweets or fruits, a good food and chant Lalitha thrisadhi [this was recited by Rathy before Devi after getting Manmatha back with life in Kanchipuram]
 
Offer arthi, complete pooja and pray for every one's well fare.
 
The sacred thread in our family tradition will not be removed till next pooja indication that the woman must have awareness in her good actions.
 
This year Kedara Gowri pooja is on 11.112015.
 
Om Sakthy

Why Deepawali is connected with Kasi or Varanasi?

Parent Category: Blog

Hits: 2902
Why deepawali is connected with Kasi or Varanasi?
 
Kasi means light. It is being proved that the whole universe is made of light.
 
Light is the symbol of wisdom.
 
The real wisdom is to understand the TRUTH of the nature.
 
It is within us.
 
When we understand the truth that all are nothing but one, we are selfless in nature.
 
This makes one to show real compassion and service to the nature and all beings.
 
This removes the karmas and we are transferred towards the independence from all stress and issues - Mukthy.
 
Devi Visalakshi is the inner energy within us which makes us to realize this TRUTH and see the life with a broad mind attitude and accept every one.
 
Devi Annapoorani is the symbol of mukthy. She is just not the food energy, she is the energy within us to empty all the desires. Food makes the seed for birth cycle.
 
When we empty the food - desires we are towards freedom.
 
Ganga is the highest level of selfless nature and service to all. She accepts every body and every polluting agent to the extent of a decaying human corpse.
 
But she never changes in her purity.
 
This depicts the nature of one's atman which is unaffected by impurities of mind.
 
Viswanatha swambu linga is the very first celestial object created after big bang. He is the seed for universe and moksha.
 
So by having Ganga snaanam with oil at dawn, performing poojas to all these deities on Deepawali one can get the pulse of freedom.
 
Finally we focus on Kala Bairava who is the strong wisdom to fight against the ego. He is also the concept of time.
 
So with this inner meaning let us have a real Deepawali.
 
Deepawali is not just an oil bath, new dress and crackers polluting the nature.
 
I thank Dr.Pradheep who took me to kasi and explained these.
 
With regards.,

SriRama's Deepawali to enrich SAL ENERGY

SriRam's Deepawali to enrich SAL ENERGY

 

Most of the U.P and M.P people celebrate Deepawali as the symbol of SriRam's reentery into his sacred city Ayodhya after 14 years. After Lanaka expedition, Ram decided to come back to his Ayodhya on Ammavasya day to start the new fresh life as a king, son and husband.

Ramayana says that Ayodhya citizens also did not celebrated Deepawali with real joy for 14 years. Every one related them self to Ram as the self-truth.

So people prepared the ammavasya day - the Deepawali day ato welcome their beloved king and queen with his brothers and friends.

When Ram stepped into Ayodhya people performed arthi, placed lamps all across the streets and welcomed them. They performed Laxmi pooja and celebrated the day.

SriRam gave his family deity SrRanga natha to Vibeeshna and the ido got installed in SriRangam [Trichy - Tamil Nadu - world's biggest temple]

Scriptures say how Ishwaaku family [SriRam's family] celebarted Deepawali in Ayodhya palace.

On Deepawali day special sacred bath was given to Lord Ranganatha and gold coins were bagged and placed at his feet as the symbol of SAL ENERGY. After rituals the king family used to give a coin to each Ayodhya citizen as the beginning of fresh life with refreshed SAL ENERGY.

Today also we can see Lord taking bath with all idols of aacharyas in SriRangam. He is applied with oil and sheekakai bath is given. He then wears new cloths. Lord then gives aways oil and sheekakai powder to all priests and they start the celebration.

By evening Lord is taken before SriRam's shrine where a silk cloth full of new currency notes are tied and up. They chant various shlokas upon Lakshmi and Vishnu and place the bag full of money at Lord's sacred feet. This is called ''Saali alankaram'' . The term saali means ''fulfilled''. So on Deepawali day Lord ditrubutes the energy to all priest.

Today afetr several centuries SriRangam temple is expressing SriRam's Deepawali.

When we see Lord's sacred feet we remember an aacharya's request, ''can this feet show how SriRam and Sitha looked?''

Happy Deepawali!
