En la Noche del día de Ekadashi Se debe meditar en los 16 nombres sagrados del Señor: Om vasudevaya namah, om keshavaya namah, om narayanah namah, om madhavaya namah, om sankarshanaya namah, om govindaya namah, om vaishnave namah, om madhusudanaya namah, om pradyumnaya namah, om trivikramaya namah, om vamanaya namah, om sridharaya namah, om aniruddhaya namah, om hrishikeshaya namah, om padmanabhaya namah, om damodarayah namah. Uno debe leer la Historia de Ekadashi que corresponde al día particular de ayuno. En el día de Ekadashi no se debe dormir en el día, no se debe masajear el cuerpo, no se debe hacer sexo, no intoxicarse, no tocar personas impuras y no afeitarse. En Dvadashi (día siguiente), no se debe dormir en el día, no se debe comer en la casa de otras personas, no debe comer más de una vez, no comer urah dal, no untarse aceite al cuerpo. Uno debe romper Ekadashi en la hora precisa aunque sea tomando agua si el comer es difícil arreglarlo para este momento. 2 www.astrohindu.com Ramanuja Das Vedic Astrologer HISTORIA DE EKADASHI Este artículo fue originalmente escrito en 1956 por Sri Navichandra Chakravarti, un discípulo de Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura y en 1979 fue traducido al Ingles por Vyenkata Dasa brahmachari.) Muchos devotos están muy inquisitivos acerca de la aparición de Sri Ekadashi y sus características especiales. Por lo tanto estoy presentando esta descripción del capítulo 14 del Padma Purana, de la sección titulada “Kriya-sagara-sara”. Una vez el gran sabio Jaimini Rsi le dijo a su maestro espiritual Srila Vyasadeva, ¡“Oh Gurudeva!, Previamente por tu misericordia, me has descrito la historia de las glorias del río Ganga, los beneficios de adorar al Señor Vishnu, de dar en caridad granos, de dar agua en caridad y de lo magnánimo de beber agua que han bañado los pies de los brahmanas. Oh, el mejor de los sabios, Sri Gurudeva, ahora, con gran entusiasmo, deseo oír los beneficios de ayunar en el día de Ekadashi y de la aparición de Ekadashi. kasmad ekadasi jata tasyah ko va vidhir dvija kada va kriyate kim va phalam kim va vadasva me ka va pujyatama tatra devata sad-gunarnava akurvatah syatko dosa etan me vaktum arhasi “¡Oh Gurudeva! ¿Cuándo nació Ekadashi? y ¿De quién aparece? ¿Cuáles son las reglas a seguir para ayunar en Ekadashi? Por favor descríbeme los beneficios de seguir este voto y cuando debe ser seguido. ¿Quién es la deidad más adorable que preside este Sri Ekadashi? ¿Cuáles son las faltas de no seguir el día de Ekadashi apropiadamente? Por favor derrama tu misericordia sobre mí y dime acerca de estos asuntos, ya que tú eres la única persona que es capaz de hacer esto.” Srila Vyasadeva después de escuchar esta inquietud de Jaimini Rsi, se situó en bienaventuranza trascendental. “ ¡Oh sabio Jaimini! Los resultados de seguir Ekadashi pueden ser únicamente descritos perfectamente por el Señor Supremo Narayana, debido a que Sri Narayana es la única persona capaz de describirlos plenamente. Pero te daré una breve descripción en respuesta a tus preguntas”. “Al comienzo de la creación material, el Señor Supremo creó a las entidades vivientes móviles e inmóviles dentro de este mundo hecho de cinco elementos materiales burdos. Simultáneamente, con el propósito de castigar a los seres humanos, Él creó una personalidad cuya forma era la personificación del pecado (Papapurusha) Los diferentes miembros de su cuerpo fueron creados de las diferentes actividades pecaminosas. - Su cabeza fue hecha del pecado de matar a un brahmana (sacerdote). - Sus dos ojos fueron hechos del pecado de tomar tóxicos embriagantes. - Su boca fue hecha del pecado de robar oro. - Sus orejas fueron hechas del pecado de tener relaciones ilícitas con la esposa del maestro espiritual. - Su nariz fue hecha del pecado de matar a la propia esposa. - Sus brazos fueron hechos del pecado de matar una vaca. - Su cuello fue hecho del pecado de robar riquezas acumuladas. - Su pecho fue hecho del pecado del aborto. - La parte inferior de su pecho fue hecho del pecado del adulterio. - Su estómago fue hecho del pecado de matar a los parientes de uno. - Su ombligo fue hecho del pecado de matar a aquellos que dependen de uno. - Su cintura fue hecha del pecado de la vanidad. - Sus muslos fueron hechos del pecado de ofender al Guru (maestro espiritual.) - Su genital fue hecho del pecado de vender la hija de uno. - Sus nalgas fueron hechas del pecado de revelar los secretos confidenciales. - Sus pies fueron hechos del pecado de matar al propio padre. - Sus cabellos de color negro fueron hechos de pecados menores y menos severos. 3 www.astrohindu.com Ramanuja Das Vedic Astrologer De esta forma, una horrible personalidad corporificada de todas las actividades pecaminosas y vicios fue creada. Su color corporal era negro y sus ojos amarillos. Y él es el que inflige miserias extremas sobre las personas pecaminosas. La Suprema Personalidad de Dios, el Señor Vishnu, después de ver esta personalidad de pecado, comenzó a pensar Él mismo así: “Yo Soy el creador de las miserias y felicidades de todas las entidades vivientes, Soy el Amo de todos, debido a que he creado esta personalidad de pecado, quien dará aflicción a todos los deshonestos, engañadores y personas pecaminosas. ¡Ahora debo crear a alguien que pueda controlar a esta personalidad!. En ese momento Sri Bhagavan creo la personalidad conocida como Yamaraja y los diferentes sistemas planetarios infernales. Aquellas entidades vivientes que son muy pecaminosas serán enviadas después de la muerte donde Yamaraja, quien a su vez, de acuerdo a sus pecados, los enviará a las regiones infernales a sufrir. Después de hacer estos ajustes, el Señor Supremo, que es el dador de felicidad y miserias de todas las entidades vivientes, fue a la morada de Yamaraja, con la ayuda de Garuda el rey de las aves. Cuando Yamaraja vio que el Señor Vishnu llegaba, inmediatamente lavo Sus pies de loto y le hizo ofrendas y luego ofreció al Señor como asiento un trono de oro. El Señor Supremo, Vishnu, justo después de que se sentó en el trono de oro, escuchó unos llantos de lamentación que provenían de la dirección Sur. Se sorprendió por esto y le pregunto a Yamaraja, “¿De donde provienen esos fuertes llantos de dolor?” Yamaraja le respondió, “¡Oh Deva!, Las diferentes entidades vivientes de los sistemas planetarios terrenales han caído a las regiones infernales y están sufriendo muchísimo por sus malos actos. Las horribles lamentaciones se deben a los sufrimientos otorgados por sus malas acciones pasados.” Después de oír esto el Señor Supremo, Vishnu, fue a las regiones infernales del Sur. Cuando todos los habitantes vieron quien había venido, ellos comenzaron a gritar y a lamentarse aun más. El corazón del Señor Supremo se llenó de compasión. El Señor Vishnu pensó así mismo, “He creado toda esta progenie y es debido a Mí que ellos están sufriendo.” Srila Vyasadeva continuó: “Oh, Jaimini, solo escucha lo que el Señor Supremo hizo a continuación” etac canyac ca viprarse vicintya karunamayah babhuva sahasa tatra svayam ekadasi tithih “Después el misericordioso Señor Supremo pensó sobre lo que previamente había considerado, repentinamente Él manifestó de Su propia forma corporal una deidad del día lunar Ekadashi”. Después de esto las diferentes entidades vivientes pecaminosas comenzaron a seguir el voto de Ekadashi y fueron rápidamente elevados a la morada de Vaikuntha (mundo espiritual). Oh, mi hijo Jaimini, el día Lunar de Ekadashi es la misma forma del Señor Supremo, Vishnu y la superalma del corazón de todas las entidades vivientes. Sri Ekadashi es la actividad supremamente más piadosa y se yergue como la principal de todos los votos. Al seguir la ascensión de Sri Ekadashi, esa personalidad que es la forma de actividades pecaminosas (Papapurusha) gradualmente vio la influencia que tenía Sri Ekadashi. Se acercó al Señor Vishnu con dudas en su corazón y comenzó a ofrecerle muchas oraciones, el Señor Vishnu se sintió muy complacido y dijo: “ Me he sentido muy complacido por las hermosas ofrendas, ¿Cuál es el deseo que quieres?”. El Papapurusha respondió: “Yo soy tu progenie creada y es a través de mí que tu das miserias a todas las entidades vivientes pecaminosas. Pero ahora, por la influencia de Sri Ekadashi estoy siendo destruido. ¡Oh Prabhu!, Después de que yo muera todas tus partes y porciones que han aceptado cuerpos materiales se liberarán y retornarán a la morada de Vaikuntha. Si se produce la liberación de todas las entidades vivientes, entonces ¿Quién llevará a cabo tus actividades? ¡No habrá nadie que realice tus pasatiempos trascendentales en los sistemas planetarios terrestres!, Oh Kesava, si Tú deseas que estos pasatiempos trascendentales continúen y sean eternos, entonces por favor debes salvarme del temor de Ekadashi.

  • Dipika's Detailed 2021 Hindu Calendar Pranaams, Namaste, Vanakkum, Jai Mata Di, Jai Shree Krsna, Jai Shree Raam We at Pray That You Are Well
    Dipika©s Detailed 2021 Hindu Calendar Pranaams, Namaste, Vanakkum, Jai Mata Di, Jai Shree Krsna, Jai Shree Raam We at www.dipika.org.za pray that you are well... Many thanks for remaining an awesome Hindu¼ Many have asked us to compile an article on the Hindu calendar for example what are the Festivals dates and Rahu kalam . {A point of note is when you see a * before a prayer date it means this is not in the general Hindu calendar that Hindus have in their homes. I have added these dates because these are equally important prayer dates} DO NOTE:- All times indicated below, associated with the start or end of a religious day are in 24-hour format. Firstly the Festival dates are the dates that a Hindu observes. This is quite self explanatory. For example for Shree Ganesh Chaturthi, we have a full explanation of this very important festival date on our website. Many ask what is this festival all about and how does one go about celebrating it. Hence this website is meant to make people from all cultures more aware of these important Hindu festival dates. We have included a few more festival dates below that are not generally on the typical Hindu calendar. For more info on the festival dates for 2021 kindly visit our website www.dipika.org.za. JANUARY Makar Sankranti = 14th January Thai Pongal = 14th January Thai Poosam Kavady Flag Raising = 19th January * Shakambhari Devi Jayanti = 28th January (Devi who provides us with nourishments) Thai Poosam Kavady = 28th January FEBRUARY Vasant Panchami = 16th February (Saraswati Puja) * Varahadeva

  • Indian Hindu Festivals Observance Date in the Indian Calendar / Panchang Is Applicable for All Location in World”
    Biggest misconception is “Indian Hindu festivals observance date in the Indian calendar / panchang is applicable for all location in world”. We contact our parents in India to find the festival observance dates. Some use their favorite Panchangam brought from India to find an observance date for an Indian festival. In reality observance dates from Indian Panchangam is valid only in India and is not transferrable to other locations. If the earth is flat we can use Indian calendar everywhere in the world. If the earth is flat then Sun & Moon will rise all places at the same time, and no need of time zones and hence Indian Panchangam can be used everywhere in the world but the trouble is the earth is round and the Sun does not rise at the same time, or set at the same time all over the world. Additionally, we have time zones and time differenes. Due to the time zones/differences there is another misconception that as USA/Canada and Europe is behind in time then Festival will come a day later in USA/Canada and Europe. This is absurd. One needs to learn mathematics to remove the confusion. If Seattle/Vancouver/California is 13 hours 30 minutes behind Indian Standard Time and say an event is occurring in India (For example One day International Cricket match at 8 AM in India then will it be the previous day in USA/Canada or the next day? If you think next day then it is not a live telecast. It is just a relay. To arrive the time you’ll subtract 13 hours 30 minutes from 8 AM.
