  • Dadeechi Rushigalu & Narayana Varma
    Dadeechi Rushigalu & Narayana Varma Dadeechi Rushigalu was born on Bhadrapada Shudda Astami. Dadeechi Rushigalu is considered in the Puranas as one of our earliest ancestors and he shines in this great country as the illustrious example of sacrifice for the sake of the liberation of the suffering from their distress. No sacrifice is too great for the noble-minded in this world. During Krutayuga, there was a daityas named Vrutrasura. He, associated by Kalakeyas, was attacking Devataas and made to suffer a lot. Devategalu were losing their battle against Daityaas. At that time they went to Brahmadevaru, who took them to Srihari, who recommended them to maka a weapon to destroy Vrutrasura, with the help of bones of Dadeechi Rushigalu. Dadeechi Rushigalu’s bones were very powerful with the Tapashakthi and with Narayana Varma Japa Shakthi. His bones were very very hard and unbreakable. Dadeechi Rushigalu, thereupon quietly acceded to the request of Indra. By his powers of Yoga he gave up his life so that his backbone might be utilised for making the mighty bow, Vajrayudha. In fact, Dadeechi may be regarded as the starting point of the galaxy of saints that have adorned this great country. Accordingly, all the Devatas went to Saint Dadheechi and requested him to donate his bones to them. Dadheechi accepted their request, left the body voluntarily and donated his bones to Devatas. After his death, all the Devatas collected his bones. They made a weapon named “ Vajrayudha” with the spinal bone of Dadheechi and gave it to Indra. With the help of Vajrayudha, Indra killed Vrutraasura.

  • Katyayani Vrata (For Early Marriage Or Marriage Problems)
    Katyayani Vrata ( For Early Marriage or Marriage Problems) Katyayaani Devi Marriage has become a huge issue these days. There are variegated reasons for such a delayed or problematic marriage in a person©s horoscope. Despite all these issues/problems that a kundali (birth chart) may foretell, there are various remedial measures which are mentioned in our Puranas which not only assist in finding the right match but also help in sustaining the relationship throughout your life or getting out of any marriage related problem. About Katyayaani devi:- Mother Katyayaani is the sixth form amongst Navadurga or the nine forms of Durga Devi who are worshipped esp. on the 6th lunar day and during the Navaratri (9 nights) celebrations. She is the power of Vengeance/Victory. Skanda Purana mentions Devi being created out of the spontaneous anger of Devas, which eventually led to slaying the demon, Mahishasura. One of the best remedies for early marriage or for marriage problems is observing the Katyayaani Devi Vrat (a.k.a Gauri Devi Vrat). This vrat is mentioned in detail in this article. During this special month, the unmarried female (or unmarried male) eats only unspiced khichari, and after bathing in the river at sunrise, makes an earthen deity of the Goddess on the riverbank, and worships the earthen deity of Katyayaani Devi by whose grace they will be blessed with a good, faithful and worthy husband/wife soon after completion of this vrat. Below is the vrata procedure that an unmarried woman or male should observe in this period (15th November to 13th December 2016) to obtain a good, faithful and worthy husband/wife.

    JAIN VALUES, WORSHIP AND THE TIRTHANKARA IMAGE B.A., University of Washington, 1974 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard / THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May, 1980 (c)Roy L.

Department of Anthropology & Sociology The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date 14 October 1980 The main purpose of the thesis is to examine Jain worship and the role of the Jains1 Tirthankara images in worship. The thesis argues that the worshipper emulates the Tirthankara image which embodies Jain values and that these values define and, in part, dictate proper behavior. In becoming like the image, the worshipper's actions ex• press the common concerns of the Jains and follow a pattern that is prized because it is believed to be especially Jain. The basic orientation or line of thought is that culture is a system of symbols. These symbols are implicit agreements among the community's members, agreements which entail values and which permit the Jains to meaningfully interpret their experiences and guide their actions.
