OM NAMO BHAGAVATE PANDURANGAYA BALAJI VANI Volume 11, Issue 1 January, 2017 OM NAMO BHAGAVATE PANDURANGAYA BALAJI VANI Volume 11, Issue 1 January, 2017 HARI OM In Month of December, Kartika Deepam, Satyanarayana Swami Pooja, and on December 31st night and Jan 1st 2017 new year was celebrated. Karthika Deepam Karthika Deepam is a Hindu festival which was celebrated by Lighting Lamps. The festival is observed in most Hindu homes, and falls in the month of mid-November to mid-December. This occurs on the day when the moon is in conjunction with the constellation Karthika and pournami. This constellation appears as a group of six stars in the firmament in the shape of a pendant from the ear. There are several reasons/stories behind observing Karthika Deepam. A popular belief is that the day is the birthday of Lord Muruga. Lamps are lit for a happy married life and for the wellbeing of children in the family. Lord Balaji Lord Muruga, also known as Skanda, Subrahamaniya and Kartik, was born as six different babies to Lord Shiva after he awoke CITTASYA ŚUDDHAYE KARMA NA TU VASTŪPALABDHAYE | from the deep meditation after Goddess Sati’s death. The six VASTUSIDDHIRVICĀREṆA NA KIṂCITKARMAKOṬIBHIḤ || 11 || babies were looked after by the Six Krittika stars and the six children were later joined to a single force by Goddess Parvati. Work leads to purification of the mind, not to perception of the Reality. The realization of Truth is brought about by Krittika is the six starts cluster. When Muruga joins them as a discrimination and not in the least by ten million of acts. child they make seven stars. As Muruga was born as six different babies and later joined into one He is popularly known as SAMYAGVICĀRATAḤ SIDDHĀ RAJJUTATTVĀVADHĀRAṆĀ | Aarumugan in Tamil culture. BHRĀNTODITAMAHĀSARPABHAYADUḤKHAVINĀŚINĪ || 12 || Another legend has it that the lamps lit symbolically represent By adequate reasoning the conviction of the reality about the knowledge, victory and peace. Muruga as Kumaraguru is rope is gained, which puts an end to the great fear and misery believed to have taught the meaning of ‘OM’ to Lord Shiva. Thus caused by the snake worked up in the deluded mind. the lamps lit on the day are in remembrance of sharing the ultimate knowledge of ‘OM.’ The knowledge of OM helps in enlightenment and emancipation. Another legend associated with Karthigai Deepam is that King Bali surrendered before Lord Vishnu. King Bali attained moksha by surrendering all his wealth and himself before Lord Vishnu. Special offerings made from puffed rice and beaten rice is believed to be due to this legend. New Year On the occasion of new year, Ganesha Pooja was performed on 12AM.

He is also called Vigneshwara, the word “Vigna” means “obstacles” and he is the lord for removing obstacles. The birth of Lord Ganesha is celebrated as Vinayaka Chavithi. Using turmeric paste, Goddess Parvathi created Lord Ganesha as her loyal son and protector. Lord Shiva, not knowing the truth got furious with Lord Ganesha when he was not let to enter his own house. Furious Lord Shiva lost his patience and severed Lord Ganesha’s head killing him instantly. When Goddess Parvathi heard of this, she threatened to destroy the entire creation. Lord Shiva understood what had happened, ordered Lord Brahma to get the head of first animal he encounters facing north. Lord Brahma returned with the head of a powerful elephant. Lord Shiva placed it on Lord Ganesha, breathed new life into him and announced him as his son as well. He also declared Lord Ganesha to be the foremost of all gods and leader of all ganas (being of life) and hence the name ‘Ganapathi’. This year Diwali Mahalakhsmi Vinayaka Chavithi was observed on 19th of September. Devotees all over the world get Lord Ganesha’s idol made out of clay, perform puja and offer Lord Ganesha’s favorite Blessedness, eternal peace, Arising from perfect modak as prasadam.

  • “Temple of My Heart”: Understanding Religious Space in Montreal's
    “Temple of my Heart”: Understanding Religious Space in Montreal’s Hindu Bangladeshi Community Aditya N. Bhattacharjee School of Religious Studies McGill University Montréal, Canada A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts August 2017 © 2017 Aditya Bhattacharjee Bhattacharjee 2 Abstract In this thesis, I offer new insight into the Hindu Bangladeshi community of Montreal, Quebec, and its relationship to community religious space. The thesis centers on the role of the Montreal Sanatan Dharma Temple (MSDT), formally inaugurated in 2014, as a community locus for Montreal’s Hindu Bangladeshis. I contend that owning temple space is deeply tied to the community’s mission to preserve what its leaders term “cultural authenticity” while at the same time allowing this emerging community to emplace itself in innovative ways in Canada. I document how the acquisition of community space in Montreal has emerged as a central strategy to emplace and renew Hindu Bangladeshi culture in Canada. Paradoxically, the creation of a distinct Hindu Bangladeshi temple and the ‘traditional’ rites enacted there promote the integration and belonging of Bangladeshi Hindus in Canada. The relationship of Hindu- Bangladeshi migrants to community religious space offers useful insight on a contemporary vision of Hindu authenticity in a transnational context. Bhattacharjee 3 Résumé Dans cette thèse, je présente un aperçu de la communauté hindoue bangladaise de Montréal, au Québec, et surtout sa relation avec l'espace religieux communautaire. La thèse s'appuie sur le rôle du temple Sanatan Dharma de Montréal (MSDT), inauguré officiellement en 2014, en tant que point focal communautaire pour les Bangladeshis hindous de Montréal.

  • 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.

  • BALAJI VANI Volume 2, Issue 3 March, 2008
    OM NAMO BHAGAVATE PANDURANGAYA BALAJI VANI Volume 2, Issue 3 March, 2008 long time. The poor man did as he said. One day he found Srinivasas wife Sri Lakshmi Saraswati Bai at home and told her his story. She was a kindhearted woman and thus able to see the right thing to do. She felt sorry that the poor man had come back so many times and had been given no help. She gave him her nose ring, which he then sold at a jewelry store, which happened to be owned by her husband. Recognizing that nose ring, Srinivasa locked it in his safe at work and went home to question his wife. Upon returning home he asked her where her nose ring was. She was terrified to answer and went to the puja room, prepared a cup of poison and prayed: O Vittala, you are God, I know you can do anything. I ask for your help. As she was about to drink the poison, she heard a sound in the cup and looked inside and was astonished to see her nose ring there. She ran out to show her husband who, upon seeing that nose ring and checking that the one he had locked in the safe was still there, knew the Lord had worked this miracle. He transformed instantly, sold his belongings the next day and spent the rest of his life praising the Lord in the thousands of songs he com- posed to God. We know him today as Purandara Das. Sri Shiva Alankaram N. Swamiji told this story to illustrate how God acts and will save his devotees according to their faith in Him.
