The Tristate Hindu Temple & Cultural Center Issue 10 11 Newsletter from The Tristate Hindu Temple & Cultural Center July 2017 Bhagavad Gita aham hi sarva-yajnanam bhokta cha prabhur eva cha na tu mam abhijananti tattvenatas chyavanti te aham—I; hi—surely; sarva—of all; yajnanam—sacrifices; bhokta—enjoyer; cha-- and; prabhuh— Lord; eva—also; cha--and; na—not; tu—but; mam—Me; abhijananti—know; tattvena—in reality; atah— therefore; chyavanti—fall down; te—they. I am the only enjoyer and Lord of all sacrifice. Therefore those who do not recognize My true transcendental nature, fall down. Message from Panditji, Shri Surendra Mishra: Devshayani Ekadashi: Ashadha Shukla Paksha Ekadashi is known as Devshayani Ekadashi. Lord Vishnu goes to sleep on this day and wakes up after four months on Prabodhini Ekadashi. Devshayani Ekadashi comes just after famous Jagannath Rathyatra and falls in month of June or July. Chaturmas, a holy period of four months in Hindu calendar, starts from this day. Guru Purnima: Full moon day during Ashadha month is known as Guru Purnima day. Traditionally this day is reserved for Guru Puja or Guru Worship. On this day disciples offer Puja and pay respect to their Gurus. Guru refers to spiritual guide who enlighten disciples by his knowledge and teachings. Guru Purnima is also known as Vyasa Purnimaand and this day is commemorated as birth anniversary of Veda Vyasa. Veda Vyasa was the author as well as a character in the Hindu epic Mahabharata. TRISTATE HINDU TEMPLE AND CULTURAL CENTER/ Issue # 10 2 Sawan Somwar: In Hindu calendar Shravan month is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Whole month is considered auspicious to seek blessing of Lord Shiva. Devotees keep various fasts during Shravan month to please Lord Shiva. Shravan month is also known as Sawan month in North Indian states. All Mondays or Somwar(s) which fall during Shravan month are considered highly auspicious for fasting and known as Shravan Somwar or Sawan Somwar Vrats. Many devotees observe sixteen Mondays or Solah Somwar fasting from first Somwar of Sawan month.

  • Deepavali of the Gods
    WANDERLUST / Lenscape Deepavali of the Gods Just when you thought the celebrations were over, and you bid farewell to one of India's most popular festivals, Deepavali; the people of Varanasi gear up for their own Festival of Lights – Dev Deepavali. WORDS Edwina D'souza 11 19 1 2 1. Dev Deepavali, meaning ‘Deepavali of the Gods’, is one of the biggest festivals in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. The festivities begin on Prabodhini Ekadashi, the 11th lunar day of the Kartika month of the Hindu calendar, and conclude on a full moon day – Kartik Purnima. During these five days, the city is lit up with millions of diyas (oil lamps). 2. While Ganga Aarti is performed daily by the ghats, during Dev Deepavali it is the grandest and most elaborate one. Twenty one priests hold multi-tiered lamps and perform rituals that involve chanting Vedic mantras, beating drums and blowing conch shells. Each year, the religious spectacle attracts lakhs of pilgrims and tourists. 74 FOLLOW US ON 11 19 Oil lamps are symbolic of Deepavali celebrations across India. During Dev Deepavali, courtyards, window panes, temples, streets and ghats in Varanasi are adorned with these oil lamps. Twinkling like stars under the night sky, these lit baskets create a captivating sight. 75 11 19 1 2 76 FOLLOW US ON 3 1. The city of Varanasi comes alive at the crack of dawn with devotees thronging the ghats and adjacent temples.

  • Prabodhini Ekadashi
    S.K.S. SWAMINARAYAN TEMPLE (LONDON) – BAL YUVAK MANDAL Westfield Lane, Kenton, Harrow, Middlesex, HA3 9EA Est. 1966 Charity Reg. No. 271034 Tel: 020 8909 9899 Fax: 020 8909 9897 Email: [email protected] Prabodhini Ekadashi Prabodhini Ekadashi is one the most special Ekadashi’s. This great Ekadashi is one of the most sacred and fruitful Ekadashi’s of the year. It marks the end of Chaturmas, and the beginning of Tulsi Vivah. “Prabodh” means awaken. Prabhodhi Ekadashi, therefore, marks the awakening of Vishnu Bhagwan from his four month sleep and his subsequent return to His Dham after spending four months in Patal with Bali Raja. Dev Prabhodhini Ekadashi is referred to as the King of all Ekadashi’s. On this day of Kartik Sud 11, many auspicious events took place in the Swaminarayan Sampraday mentioned as below: • The Birth of Shree Dharma Dev (Samvat 1796, in the village of Itaar, Uttar Pradesh, North India). • Shree Nilkanth Varni acquired the maha-diksha, and was named Sahajanad Swami and Narayan Muni (VS 1857 in Piplana). • Shree Sahajanand Swami was enthroned the gadi of the sampraday (VS 1858 in Jetpur). • Shree Swaminarayan Bhagwan established the two acharyas of the sampraday • and dictated the Desh Vibhaag Lekh (VS 1882). This day concludes the end of the Chaturmaas Niyams taken by millions of followers worldwide. • It is the 24th Ekadashi (the last of all Ekadashi’s) The greatness of this Ekadashi is immense in terms of measuring the value of keeping the Vrat on this day. Bhrahma has said “Those who eat once on this day will destroy their sins for past one birth; those who do not eat at all will destroy their sins for previous seven births Many people spend a lot of money and travel to India to do pilgrimage and have darshan of the various many Tirths (mentioned in the shastras are 68 main divine tirths).

No. 271034 Tel: 020 8909 9899 Fax: 020 8909 9897 Email: [email protected] Prabodhini Ekadashi Other names Meaning • Haribodhini ‘awakening’ • Devotthani • Uthhana Significant events which took place on this day • Chaturmaas ends and Lord Vishnu awakes from his yoga nindra • Lord Vishnu returns from Bali’s residence in Patal In a kingdom famed of being a land of peace & plenty, tolerance, reverence for intellectuals and feeling of fraternity between even the devas & danavas. Bali was surprised that this young man needed to ask for separate piece of land to carry out his normal, daily rituals. The young man informed him that "Whilst reciting my Gayatri and doing pranayam, owner of the land moved me on and hence, I feel that I need somewhere where I can do my most basic daily rituals without let or hindrance." The young man was Lord Vaman. After having got the King Bali to promise him land covered by His own three strides, Lord assumed a gigantic form and covered all areas Bali owned in just two strides. The king had nothing more to give. The Lord threatened him with dire consequences if he did not comply with this promise. As saha-dharma-charini, Bali’s queen stepped in to help and suggested that Bali should offer his own self for the third step – surely, the ego / mind is greater than all that "it" owns. Lord Vaman, pleased with the reply, placed His foot on Bali’s head and thrust him into the nether regions, placing him in a kingdom specially created for him.
