There is no difference of opinion among scholars that the original habitat of the peacock is India，or more pre­ cisely Southern India. We have the authority of the Bible* to show that the peacock was one of the Commodities5 that India exported to the Holy Land in ancient times. This splendid bird had reached Athens by 450 B.C. and had been kept in the island of Samos earlier still. The peacock bridged the cultural gap between the Aryans who were * I Kings 10:22 For the king had at sea a navy of Thar，-shish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Thar’-shish bringing gold, and silver，ivory, and apes，and peacocks.

  • Opening and Closing Prayers
    DHYANA SLOKAS (GAJANANAM) At the beginning of every lecture or class we chant the Dhyana Slokas. This helps to set the inner mood and create the proper mindset for the practice. The prayers invoke the Gurus and teachers blessing for a successful practice. The Gajananam follows nearly the same sequence as the Jaya Ganesha. First, we invoke Ganesha to remove all obstacles, then Subramanya to give us strength and destroy all negative forces, inside and outside. Next is Saraswati to give us Divine knowledge. Then we ask the teacher (Guru) to guide us always. We invoke the Divine Mother Durga, Narayani to bring auspiciousness to all our undertakings. Gajananam Bhutaganadi Sevitam Kapitta Jambu Phala Sara Bhakshitam Uma Sutam Shokavinasha Karanam Namami Vigneshvara Pada Pamkajam I prostrate myself before the lotus feet of Vigneshwara (Ganesha), the son of Uma, the cause of destruction of sorrow, who is served by the host of angels, who has the face of an elephant, who partakes of the essence of Kapitta and Jambu fruits. Shadananam Kumkuma Raktavarnam Mahamatim Divya Mayura Vahanam Rudrasya Sunam Surasainya Natham Guham Sadaham Sharanam Prapadye I always take refuge in Guha of six faces (Subramanya), who is of deep red color like Kumkuma, who possesses great knowledge, who has the divine peacock to ride on, who is the son of Rudra (Siva) and who is the leader of the army of the Devas (gods, angels). Ya Kundendu Tushara Hara Dhavala Ya Shubra Vastravrita Ya Vina Vara Danda Mandita Kara Ya Shveta Padmasana Ya Brahmachyuta Shankara Prabhritivir Devai Sada Pujita Sa Mam Patu Saraswati Bhagavati Nishyesha Jatyapaha May that goddess Saraswati, who wears a garland white like the Kunda flower, the moon and the snow, who is adorned with pure white clothes, who hands are ornamented with Vina and the gestures of blessings, who is seated on a white Lotus, who is always worshipped by Brahma, Vishnu and Siva and the other Gods, who is the remover of all inertness and laziness, protect me.

  • Lord Murugan in the Vedas
    Lord Murugan In The Vedas M. Rajantheran' &. Raja Viknarasah? Abstract The worship of Lord Muruga is not only an ancient religious practice of the Tamils but it is also being a bridge to connect the civilization, culture, beliefs and tradition of them. The Sanggam literature hails Lord Muruga as the Lord of the Kurunji land. But even the Vedas which were written long before the Sang gam literature praise Lord Muruga with special superiority. Among the four Vedas namely Rig, Yajur, Sarna, Aiharoa, Rig Veda is considered to be the oldest. Even in the Rig Veda, there found many pieces of information about Lord Muruga. Lord Muruga is referred to as Agnibhu, Sadasapati, Skanda and Subramanya. What do the names means? What is the significance of Lord Muruga in the Vedas? The article aims at giving a clear insight into all these aspects. In order to prove it with evidence, the Vedic verses and Maha Vakyas of Lord Muruga are also given with their meaning. Furthermore, in order to reinforce the points, research materials found in Ramayana, Bagavath Gita and Upanishads are also incorporated. Keywords: Lord Muruga, Veda, Skanda, Upanishad, The Tamils, Hinduism, Maha vakyas. Tat Kumiiriiya tndamahe Kiirttikeyaya dltimahi - ianno Skandah. pracodasuit (Maitrtiyani Samhiia - Krsna Yajuroeda) Let us meditate on Lord Kumara, also known as Karthikeya.

Namasthe (Namaskar)! This is the Indian traditional way of greeting an individual or a group. Welcome to self-guided Temple tour. A Temple or Devalaya is a place of worship. Deva means God and Alaya is House. Several smaller Temples or Sannidhanams are structured within the main Temple. A traditional Hindu Temple is built based on the Agamas, which are the Holy Scriptures on architecture. Agamas also provide guidelines for the conduct of worship (prayer). The Hindu Temple and Cultural Society of USA Inc. (HTCS) was established in September of 1989. Our Temple was designed by Indian Temple Architects (Sthapati) according to ancient Indian Temple building codes and was inaugurated (Kumbabhishekam) in 1998.
