MAATA PITRU DEVATA YAGNAM 2015 (GRATITUDE AND REVERENCE YAGNA FOR MOTHER AND FATHER)

DATES: Mother’s Day:Sun May 10, 2015 10 am - $126( ) ; Father’s Day: Sun June 21, 2015 10 am $126( ) Yagna Prasadam: Blessed Saree and/or Shawl

BENEFITS: LONGEVITY, HEALTH AND PROSPERITY FOR LIVING PARENTS PEACE AND BETTER JUDGEMENT FOR DECEASED SOULS.

BOUNTY OF GOD'S LOVE The most important duty enjoined on man is to Love and honor his mother. THE PRINCIPLE OF MOTHERHOOD IS INTIMATELY ASSOCIATED WITH GOD, who created the entire universe, has provided its sustenance, and who is granting man everything that he needs. A mother who conceived (created), had carried that child in her womb for nine months, who has gone through all sorts of pains and troubles during the period for sustaining the child is entitled to be protected by us and delivered into world to experience life. One should NEVER FORGET this IMPORTANT DUTY. Therefore mother is indeed Saraswati-Brahma,MahalakshmiVishnu, and Parvati-Parameswara. The mother is the Sarva Sakthi Swaroopini and it is in order to declare to the world this divine aspect of the mother, the Navarathri festival is celebrated . In these nine days we adore and worship Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati. Our mother is truly an embodiment of Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati. If we LOVE our mother who has given birth to us, then we will have worshipped everyone else. The protection given to mother is the real protection of our life. If father is the embodiment of righteousness, mother is the embodiment of LOVE. The love of God is 7, Mother is 6, father is 5, Wife is 4, brothers and sisters 3, relatives and friends 2, and all others are 1 on scale of 7. Motherhood is the MOST precious gift of God. We should never make our mother shed tears. AS THE MOTHER SO THE PROGRESS OF THE NATION; AS THE MOTHER, SO THE SWEETNESS OF THE CULTURE.The Veda proclaims:

"MATRU-DEVO BHAVA ;PITRU-DEVO BHAVA; ACHARYA-DEVO BHAVA" -Taittereeya Upanishad of Krishna Yajurvedam (section 11:Mantras 12, 13 and 14)

Story of Hanuman and Shani Maharaj: Shaniswara , the planet Saturn, had been saved by Hanuman from the clutches of Ravana and in return Shani promised that those people who will pray to Hanuman will be rescued from the painful effects of Saturn. Once, Hanuman was meditating, when Shani came and started teasing Hanuman by pulling his tail. Hanuman warned him as Shani is his Guru’s son and Hanuman respects him but when Shani did not listen, Hanuman gave him a good thrashing. When the pain was unbearable, Shani requested Hanuman to release him promising that he would moderate the malefic effects of his influ- ence on all those people who pray to Hanuman.At the end Shani pleaded to leave and promised not to go near any devotee mediating on Lord Rama. Hanuman is the only one who is said to conquer the evil spirits and relieve the mankind from the effects of black magic.
