We had a very busy month of September with programs & activities for our all-round development – BODY, MIND & SOUL!!! Yogiraj Omprakash ji Maharaj and Dr. Sandeep, from Faridabad, India held a week long Musical Yoga and Meditation Camp in the Mandir Basement. This was a very unique experience where participants performed the Exercises and Asanas in a fun filled atmosphere, humming popular Hindi songs/bhajans. People also benefitted from Guru Ji’s vast knowledge of Ayurveda, Naturopathy and Healing Tips. Dr. Sandeep, who is an accomplished Doctor & Physiotherapist helped several Devotees to cure day to day ailments with his massage techniques and simple exercises. The Camp concluded with an intense session on Meditation and a pure Vedic Havan performed by Guru Ji for the wellbeing of ALL the members of the HOM Parivar and Community at large. We also celebrated the auspicious 9 Days of Navratrey with great Enthusiasm and Joy. HOM is truly Blessed to have Devotees who sing & dance in praise of Maa Durga during these special Holy Days.

    Quite Charming.....Page 4 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 08, 2017 INTERNET EDITION : www.dailyexcelsior.com/magazine Self Analysis....page2 THE KARWA CHAUTH RITUAL LEGEND OF MAHABARATA The legend of this belief is associated back to the Pre-Mahabharata times. It is said that Drupadi wife of Pandvas also observed this fast. It so happened once that in order to undergo penance Arjuna went to the Nilgiris and in his absence his brothers were desperate. Sensing their deplorable condition Drupadi remembered Lord Krishna and asked for help. Lord Krishna advised her to observe the fast of Karwa Chauth. She followed the instructions and kept the fast as per rituals which led to Pandavas to overcome the exaspera- tion they were in. LEGEND OF SATYAVAN AND SAVITRI There was a prediction by some astrologers that Savitri would lose her hus- band soon she gets married. The nuptial bonds were tied and time of her hus- bands departure was impending nearer.Yama, the God of Death came to pro- cure Satyavan’s soul which Savitri manifested. She wept bitterly and begged Yama to grant him life but the Death God could not concede to her request ini- tially. Savitri observed the fast vigorously and propitiating gods got the life of her husband revived. THE LEGEND OF KARVA The story is associated with a devout wife Karva who loved her husband fondly and sincerely. One day while bathing, her husband was caught by a ferocious crocodile in shallow waters. Karva came running and had the croc- odile bound with a cotton yarn and went to Yama, the Lord of the Death and requested him to send the offending crocodile to hell.

    Cordially Invites You, Your Family & Friends To participate in "Karva Chaturthi Puja" On Saturday, October 27th 2018 starting at 4:00 PM and onwards Karva Chauth is an annual one-day festival celebrated by Hindu and some Sikh women in North India and parts of Pakistan in which married women fast from sunrise to moonrise for the safety and longevity of their husbands. The fast is observed in the states of Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Indian Punjab, Rajasthan, Western Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat. The festival falls on the fourth day after the full moon, in the Hindu lunisolar calendar month of Kartik, following the Autumnal Equinox. Karva Chauth is made of two words, Karva means an earthen oil lamp and Chauth means four. Sometimes, unmarried women observe the fast for their fiancés or desired husbands. The Karva Chauth is a celebration of the beautiful bond between a husband and wife depicting the love, togetherness, and praying for the well-being, prosperity, and longevity of the husband.

Unlike these languages, English is not written in a phonetically consistent way. In transliterating words from Punjabi and other North Indian languages I have adopted the following compromise. Where a word is already well-established in English I have used the usual spelling e.g. Punjab rather than the less familiar Panjab. Similarly where a Sanskrit form is already widely used I have retained this in lieu of a strict transliteration of the Punjabi e.g. Ramayana, Rama, not Ramain, Ram.
