  • Some Important Facts About Hyerath... 1. Why Tithi Triyodashi Is Important
    Some important facts about Hyerath... 1. Why Tithi triyodashi is important to celebrate Hyerath; According to Bharav Yaag Granth Triyodashi is the deciding factor to solemnize the day of Hyreath. Triyodashi should be present at midnight. That is the reason our Hyreath festival is sometimes celebrated on Dwadashi and sometimes at Triyodashi. 2. Are Herath and Maha Shiv Ratri same festivals? No. Our Hyreath is Har-Ratri (Hura Ratri) celebrated on Triyodashi & MahaShivratri deciding factor is Chaturdashi that is the reason Maha shivratri is also called Shiv-Chaturdashi. Hyreath and Maha- Shivratri cannot be solemnized on the same day. Recent example is Year 2011, 1st march jantri Page already posted in the group. 3. All over the Hindu world Hindus celebrate MAHASHIVRATRI on Chaturdashi that falls on 24th Feb and they are fine with that. Why are few among us comparing Herath with MahaShivratri? Our Hyreath deciding factor is Triyodashi and Mahashivratri is based on Chatrudashi as per Dharam Sindu. This is the reason Triyodashi Festival cannot be celebrated on chaturdashi. 4. At what time Triyodashi starts on 23rd Feb? Triyodashi is starting at 09-19 PM on 23rd Feb which decides the Hyreath to be solemnized on 23rd Feb. 2017. 5. What is sparsh and what is its importance? As already mentioned above Triyodashi starts at 09-19 PM which indicated that Puja to be performed at Dwodashi having sparsh of triyodashi at midnight. 6. What is PRADOSH and what is said about its impact on 24th Feb? Does this imply that even during chaturdashi ? Pradosh kaal is of 05 types.

  • Tapta Mudradharane Has a Prominent Place in Madhwa Philosophy
    hare srinivasa Why one must have Taptamudradharane? Tapta mudradharane has a prominent place in Madhwa philosophy. Tapta Mudradharane is the "Vaishnavathva" symbol. During Jatakarma, choula, upanayana and mantropadesha times, Mudradharane has an importance. Mudradharae to be taken every year Shayanaikadashi(Ashada shukla ekadashi), Shravana Dwadashi Upavasa day, Bhadrapada shukla ekadashi, kaarthika shukla ekadashi, upakarma day.

Yukthimallika-Phalisaurabha of Srivadirajaru, etc. For Sudarshana chakra - Mahalaxmi's Durgaroopa is abhimani devate. For Shanka - Sri mahalaxmi's Shreeroopa is abhimani devate. Durga roopa - tamoguna abhimani devate Shree roopa - satvaguna abhimani devate. Because of wearing Mudradharane - Power of Tamoguna - ajnaana, mithyaagnaana, will be removed, and through Shanka - Sathvaguna will be replacing tamoguna.

  • Shuddha and Ashuddha Ekadashi
    Shuddha and Ashuddha Ekadashi In the 2015 Hindu calendars for example had Ekadashi on the 27th of June and not the correct 28th. Now this has created quite a confusion as many have emailed and phoned me asking why the different dates. This article is meant to clarify those doubts. Shuddha means pure and Ashuddha means impure. One should not observe a fast on an Ekadashi that's not pure (Ashuddha) as quoted from the sastric verses below. Therefore at times one has to fast on Dvadashi (the next day ± the 12th day) if that Ekadashi is not pure. How does an Ekadashi become impure? This happens when the 10th and 11th Vedic days overlaps. Then this Ekadashi is regarded as impure and thus should not be observed. When should one begin the Ekadashi Vrat -Sunrise or Midnight? Srila Prabhupad said: - ªRegarding you first question, we observe Ekadashi from sunrise to sunrise. The 12 (midnight) is western astronomical calculation, but the Vedic astronomical calculation begins either from the sunrise or the moonrise. Generally it is sunrise. Our calculation is like this: when the sunrise is there, Ekadashi tithi (date) must be there. If Ekadashi tithi is not in the sunrise and the tithi begins, say after a few minutes after the sunrise, then we accept that day as previous to Ekadashi. All our ceremonies are calculated in that way. This means we must see the tithi during sunrise. Therefore, sometimes our dates of ceremonies do not exactly coincide like the western calculations.º Srila Prabhupada letter, 30 September 1969) We have provided the Hindi (Vaishnava calender) for Durban and Jhb under the DEATH AND FUNERAL RITES sub-menu on this website so that you yourself can observe whether that Ekadashi you are fasting for is Shuddha or Ashuddha.

  • Karthika Month Is the Most Sacred Month to Worship Lord Mahadeva
    Karthika month is the most sacred month to worship Lord Mahadeva In the month of Karthika both Lord Mahadeva and Lord Vishnu are worshipped together, as it’s the month of Sriharahari. Shlokam || Mahimnah param te parama vidusho yadyasadrishi || Pushpadantacharya praised Sri Mahadeva…. as follows, O Mahadeva! your glory is infinite. If it is unseemly to praise You when ignorant of the extent of’ Your greatness, then even the praises of Brahma and others are inadequate. Sri Mahadev in his most delightful form. The sages, the enlightened, the Siddha men, who are rich in tapahsiddhi, stand before Lord Shankara with a very humble sense of humility. For the devotee- humility is the main thing. Without it, no matter how much is done, can grace be obtained so quickly? With the sight of the eye, in front of the Mahayoga Yogi who burnt Manmadha. O Mind! what is your capacity? Mind let go of the ego and worship Mahadeva. What would it be like to bathe in seawater and interpret the ocean with those seawater? O Mahadeva! form of Shiva Shakti, I humbly ask you to give me the fortune to worship you with the flowers of words you have given me. The Brahma Deva say to the Sri Mahadeva, "Hey! Mahadeva, according to my little intellect, I praise you, the Infinite One." God, that goddess has done great penance for you and has impressed you and become your consort. What is my devotion to you who have seen such great penances? It seems to give bitter water to the mouth that drinks honey, my prayer, my devotion, Deva, Mahadeva, forgive us.

  • Story of Ksheerabdi Dwadashi
    Story of Ksheerabdi Dwadashi Legend of Ksheerabdi Dwadashi, Ksheerabdi Dwadashi Vrat Katha Dharmaraja and his brothers lost their kingdom and went to reside in Dwaitavanam. At this time, the Sage Vyasa came to visit him. Dharmaraja cordially invited Vyasa, made him seat on a pedestal, spoke to him on various issues and then said as follows, “Swami! You know all Dharmas. There is no knowledge or wisdom that you donot know. Please tell me a way, by which all desires can be fulfilled”. To this Vyasa replied, “Son! This is a good question. Once upon a time Sage Narada posed the same question to Brahma deva, and the deva narrated him two desire fulfilling penances. Those are Ksheerabdi Dwadasi Vratam and Ksheerabdi Sayana Vrata. Let me narrate you the details of Ksheerabdi Dwadasi Vratam. Lord Vishnu vowed that on karthika sukla dwadasi , after sunset, He, along with Devi lakshmi will raise from the Ocean of Milk (Pala Samudram), and reside in Tulasi Pot (Brindavanam). With him, will reside all gods and sages. On that day, anyone who comes to Brindavanam, does pooja wholeheartedly to Laksmi, Tulasi and Shree Vishnu, read or listen to Tualsi’s story and give deepadanam will get rid of "all previous birth wrong doings, and wards off any ill luck and attain the Lords sanctity forever. Hence to get your desires fulfilled, you should perform this vratam”. Hearing this, Dharmaraja said to vyasa, “O Sage! Please let me know the way to do it”, to this vyasa replied, “Dharmaraja! On Ekadasi, one must keep fasting and then read dwadasi parayanam, and in the evening, take bath, clean the area of tulasi pot, decorate with colorful rangavallis, do pooja with utmost reverence to the Lord residing at the root of the brindavanam – Tulasi plant, offer coconut, jaggery, dates, sugarcane and bananas as prasadam.
