Gudi Padwa - New Year Festival of Maharashtra

The Brahma Purana Even Sindhis celebrate a festival on the same day as Gudhi Padwa and it is known as Cheti Chand. The festival is believed to mark the commencement of the spring season in India, known as Vasant/Basant. In the Brahma Purana, it has been written that it was on this day only that Lord Brahma recreated the world, after the inundation that devastated it. Each and every moment of the day on which Gudi Padwa is celebrated is considered to be very auspicious. This is the reason why the festival is celebrated with such grand festivities.

Celebrations The day of Gudi Padwa starts with the cleaning ritual, in which the house is fully cleaned (in case of villages, it is then covered with fresh cow-dung). Thereafter, women and children indulge in the drawing as well as coloring of intricate rangoli designs on the doorsteps. Usually, vibrant colors are chosen for the rangoli, in keeping with the spirit of the festival. Every member of the family wears new clothes and eats soonth panak and chana usal, the specialties of the day.
Other delicacies made on Gudhi Padwa festival include Shrikand and Poori. In the earlier days, family members used to start the day by eating the leaves of neem tree. However, the tradition is not as rigidly followed these days. Usually, people consume a paste of neem leaves (combined with ajwain, jaggery and tamarind). The leaves as well as the paste are believed to cleanse blood and toughen the immune system.
Gudi
Gudi, meaning Brahma's flag (Brahmadhvaj), is hoisted by people on the day of Gudi Padwa, as a symbol of victory of good over evil. It is also believed to ward off evil influences and bring prosperity and good luck into the house. Gudi is made by tying a bright green or yellow cloth, adorned with brocade (zari), to a long bamboo. Over the cloth, gathi (a type of sweet), neem leaves, a twig of mango leaves and a garland of red flowers is tied.

Thereafter, a silver or copper pot is placed over it in inverted position. Then, the Gudi is hoisted on the window or on the gate. The floor before Gudi is adorned with rangoli, made of a special powder of soft, white stone. Lastly, it is worshipped, while offering obeisance to the flag of Lord Brahma. Whatever be the state in which the festival is celebrated and whatever be its name, its significance as well as the scale of festivities surrounding it remains the same.

Cow is Holy - Equal To GOD- Feed When You See

Lord Krishna, one of the most well known of the Hindu deities is often depicted playing his flute amongst cows and dancing Gopikas (milkmaids). He grew up as a cow herder. Krishna also goes by the names Govinda and Gopala, which literally mean “friend and protector of cows.” It is considered highly auspicious for a true devotee to feed a cow, even before eating breakfast oneself.
Throughout the Vedic scriptures there are verses which emphasize that the cow must be protected and cared for. It is considered a sin to kill a cow and eat its meat. Even today in India, there are many states in which the slaughter of cows is illegal. That is why you can find cows roaming freely all over India, even along the busy streets of Delhi and Mumbai.
Ayurveda is a big proponent of the sattvic qualities of milk and dairy products. That is why most Hindus are vegetarian, but not vegan. Fresh, organic milk, yogurt, buttermilk, paneer (homemade cheese) and ghee, are all considered highly nutritious, and an important part of the diet. Not only do these dairy products provide important protein and calcium for our tissues, but are sources of Ojas, which gives our body strength and immunity.
Besides their milk, cows also provide many practical purposes, and are considered a real blessing to the rural community. On the farm, bulls are used to plough the fields and as a means of transportation of goods. Even Lord Shiva’s trusted vehicle is Nandi- the sacred bull.
Cow dung is saved and used for fuel, as it is high in methane, and can generate heat and electricity. Many village homes are plastered with a mud/cow dung mixture, which insulates the walls and floors from extreme hot and cold temperatures. Cow dung is also rich in minerals, and makes an excellent fertilizer. There is a big organic farming movement in India to return to ancient methods of utilizing cow dung to re-mineralize the depleted soil.
In such a spiritual land as India, one can find religious ceremonies taking place at any time and any place. Spiritual “yagnas” are fire ceremonies that performed to thank the Gods and receive their blessings. Cows even play a central role in these fire yagnas or Agnihotras. Scientific research has found that the ritual of burning cow dung and ghee as fuel for these sacred fires, actually purifies the air, and has anti-pollutant and anti-radiation qualities in the environment.
Ayurveda understands that some physical and emotional health crisis can not be healed by diet and herbs alone. They need the deeper and subtler healing of these types of Vedic ritual ceremonies to clear astrological past karma. The holy cow again offers its bounty by providing the ingredients in the Panchamrit, or blessed drink, that is distributed after the ceremony. Panchamrit translates as “sacred ambrosia” or “nectar of the gods” and is made up of 5 items – milk, yogurt, ghee, honey and sugar. By drinking this sweet prasadam, one is infused with the divine energy created during the puja, and is healed.

Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram Patit Pavan Sita Ram
Aey Janani Aey Dharti Maa Tera har pal hi Aehsaan
Teri Zameen par Janam Liya Jug me Bani Apni Shaan

Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram Patit Pavan Sita Ram
Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram Patit Pavan Sita Ram
Jai Siya Ram Jai Siya Ram Jai Jai Jai Jai Siya Ram
***********************************
Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram (sometimes called Ram Dhun) is a popular bhajan (Hindu devotional song) that was a favorite of Mahatma Gandhi.
The version popularized by Mahatma Gandhi:
रघुपित राघव राजाराम, पितत पावन सीताराम
सीताराम सीताराम, à¤à¤œ प्यारे तू सीताराम
ईश्वर अल्लाह तेरो नाम, सब को सन्मि तदे à¤à¤—वान
Translation : Lord Rama, Chief of the house of Raghu, Uplifters of those who have fallen, (O divine couple) Sita and Rama, Beloved, praise Sita and Rama, God or Allah is your name, (meaning that the supreme can be called by many names) Lord, bless everyone with this wisdom.
Sometimes these words are added: जय रघुनंदन जय िसया राम जानकी वल्लठसीताराम
I hope every body knows the straight meaning of “Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram, patit pavan Seetaram.” But there is a deep philosophy hidden in its bottom. It is known to every body that one thing that keeps the Creation durable and alive is worry/care/concern (Chinta), which is hidden in the whole body and works in two ways. If that is not there, no being can be called a living being.

Powerful Goddess Kanchi Kamakshi -Shakthi Peetam
The Kamakshi Temple is a famous Hindu temple dedicated toKamakshi, one of the forms of the goddess Parvati. It is located in the historic city of Kanchipuram, near Chennai, India and is popularly associated with Sankaracharya, one of the greatest Hindu gurus. The Meenakshi Temple in Madurai, the Akilandeswari temple in Thiruvanaikaval near Tiruchirappalli and this Kamakshi are the important centers of worship of Parvati as the mother goddess, in the state of Tamil Nadu. The temple was most probably built by the Pallava kings, whose capital was Kanchipuram, around 6 C.E.
The main deity, Kamakshi, is seated in a majestic Padmasana, an yogic posture signifying peace and prosperity, instead of the traditional standing pose. The goddess holds a sugarcane bow and bunch of flowers in the lower two of her arms and has a pasha (lasso), an ankusha (goad) in her upper two arms.
There is also a parrot perched near the flower bunch. There are no other Parvati temples in the city of Kanchipuram, apart from this temple, which is unusual in a traditional city that has hundreds of traditional temples.
There are various legends that account for this fact. One of them according to Kamakshivilasa is that the Goddess had to absorb all the other shakthi forms to give a boon to Kama, the Hindu god of love. Another legend attributes it to the Raja Rajeswaripose of the deity that signifies an absolute control over the land under the deity's control. Legend has it that Kamakshi offered worship to a Shivalingam made out of sand, under a mango tree and gained Shiva's hand in marriage.
FESTIVALS
Four worship services are offered each day. The annual festival falls in Spring, in the Tamil month of Masi, which runs from mid-March to mid-April. During this time the chariot festival (Ther) and lake festival, (Theppam) are held. Other festivals include Navaratri, Aadi and Aippasi Pooram, Sankara Jayanthi and Vasanta Utsavam in the Tamil month of Vaikasi. All Fridays are considered sacred, though the Fridays in the Tamil months of Adi (mid-July to mid-August) and Thai (mid-January to mid-February) are celebrated.

Meditation on BHAGHAVAD GEETHA- Prayer
GITA DHYANAM MEDITATION ON THE GITA
ORIGIN OF MEDITATION MANTRA RIGHT FROM STARTING THE WORLD.Om paarthaaya pratibodhitaam bhagavataa naaraayanenaswayam,
Vyaasena grathitaam puraanamuninaa madhye mahaabhaaratam;
Advaitaamritavarshineem bhagavateem ashtaadashaa dhyaayineem,
Amba twaam anusandadhaami bhagavadgeete bhavadweshineem.
1. Om. O Bhagavad Gita, with which Partha was illumined by Lord Narayana Himself, and
which was composed within the Mahabharata by the ancient sage, Vyasa, O Divine Mother, the
destroyer of rebirth, the showerer of the nectar of Advaita, and consisting of eighteen
discourses—upon Thee, O Gita, O affectionate Mother, I meditate!
Namostu te vyaasa vishaalabuddhe phullaaravindaayatapatranetra;
Yena twayaa bhaaratatailapoornah prajwaalito jnaanamayah pradeepah.
2. Salutations unto thee, O Vyasa, of broad intellect and with eyes like the petals of a
full-blown lotus, by whom the lamp of knowledge, filled with the oil of the Mahabharata, has been
lighted!
Prapannapaarijaataaya totravetraikapaanaye;
Jnaanamudraaya krishnaaya geetaamritaduhe namah.
3. Salutations to Lord Krishna, the Parijata or the Kalpataru or the bestower of all desires for
those who take refuge in Him, the holder of the whip in one hand, the holder of the symbol of divine
knowledge and the milker of the divine nectar of the Bhagavad Gita!
Sarvopanishado gaavo dogdhaa gopaalanandanah;
Paartho vatsah sudheer bhoktaa dugdham geetaamritam mahat.
4. All the Upanishads are the cows; the milker is Krishna; the cowherd boy, Partha
(Arjuna), is the calf; men of purified intellect are the drinkers; the milk is the great nectar of the
Gita.
Vasudevasutam devam kamsachaanooramardanam;
Devakeeparamaanandam krishnam vande jagadgurum.

5. I salute Sri Krishna, the world-teacher, son of Vasudeva, the destroyer of Kamsa and
Chanura, the supreme bliss of Devaki!
Bheeshmadronatataa jayadrathajalaa gaandhaaraneelotpalaa;
Shalyagraahavatee kripena vahanee karnena velaakulaa;
Ashwatthaama-vikarna-ghora-makaraa duryodhanaavartinee;
Sotteernaa khalu paandavai rananadee kaivartakah keshavah.
6. With Kesava as the helmsman, verily was crossed by the Pandavas the battle-river, whose
banks were Bhishma and Drona, whose water was Jayadratha, whose blue lotus was the king of
Gandhara, whose crocodile was Salya, whose current was Kripa, whose billow was Karna, whose
terrible alligators were Vikarna and Asvatthama, whose whirlpool was Duryodhana.
Paaraasharya vachah sarojamamalam geetaarthagandhotkatam;
Naanaakhyaanakakesaram harikathaa sambodhanaabodhitam;
Loke sajjana shatpadairaharahah pepeeyamaanam mudaa;
Bhooyaadbhaaratapankajam kalimala pradhwamsinah shreyase.
7. May this lotus of the Mahabharata, born in the lake of the words of Vyasa, sweet with the
fragrance of the meaning of the Gita, with many stories as its stamens, fully opened by the
discourses of Hari, the destroyer of the sins of Kali, and drunk joyously by the bees of good men in
the world, become day by day the bestower of good to us!
Mookam karoti vaachaalam pangum langhayate girim;
Yatkripaa tamaham vande paramaanandamaadhavam.
8. I salute that Madhava, the source of supreme bliss, whose Grace makes the dumb
eloquent and the cripple cross mountains!
Yam brahmaa varunendrarudramarutah stunwanti divyaih stavaih,
Vedaih saangapadakramopanishadair gaayanti yam saamagaah,
Dhyaanaavasthitatadgatena manasaa pashyanti yam yogino,
Yasyaantam na viduh suraasuraganaa devaaya tasmai namah.
9. Salutations to that God whom Brahma, Indra, Varuna, Rudra and the Maruts praise with
divine hymns, of whom the Sama-chanters sing by the Vedas and their Angas (in the Pada and
Krama methods), and by the Upanishads; whom the Yogis see with their minds absorbed in Him
through meditation, and whose ends the hosts of Devas and Asuras know not!

Celebrate The Ganesh Chathurthi With JOY-2012
Ganesh is also known by the names Ganapati, Ekadanta, Vinayaka, Pillaiyar and Heramba. Irrespective of what Hindu tradition, he is still one of the most popular deities for worship.
Ganesh is depicted with an elephant's head on a human body and in the Hindu tradition he is the son of Lord Siva and the Goddess Parvati. He is known as the Remover of Obstacles and is prayed to particularly when people are beginning a new enterprise or starting a new business. Ganesh is also known as the patron god of travelling.
In places such as Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra (in India), the festival is celebrated for ten days and is a joyous event and regarded as a public occasion. In other places it is simply celebrated at home and hymns are sung and offerings made to Ganesh. Sweets are also distributed because in Hindu legend Ganesh liked them.
On the day of the festival, it is placed on raised platforms in homes or in elaborately decorated outdoor tents for people to view and pay their homage. The priest, usually clad in red silk dhoti and shawl, then invokes life into the idol amidst the chanting of mantras. This ritual is called 'pranapratishhtha'. After this the 'shhodashopachara' (16 ways of paying tribute) follows. Coconut, jaggery, 21 'modakas' (rice flour preparation), 21 'durva' (trefoil) blades and red flowers are offered. The idol is anointed with red unguent or sandal paste (rakta chandan). Throughout the ceremony, Vedic hymns from the Rig Veda and Ganapati Atharva Shirsha Upanishad, and Ganesha stotra from the Narada Purana are chanted.
For 10 days, from Bhadrapad Shudh Chaturthi to the Ananta Chaturdashi, Ganesha is worshipped. On the 11th day, the image is taken through the streets in a procession accompanied with dancing, singing, to be immersed in a river or the sea symbolizing a ritual see-off of the Lord in his journey towards his abode in Kailash while taking away with him the misfortunes of all man. All join in this final procession shouting "Ganapathi Bappa Morya, Purchya Varshi Laukariya" (O father Ganesha, come again early next year). After the final offering of coconuts, flowers and camphor is made, people carry the idol to the river to immerse it.
The whole community comes to worship Ganesha in beautifully done tents. These also serve as the venue for free medical checkup, blood donation camps, charity for the poor, dramatic performances, films, devotional songs, etc. during the days of the festival.

VARALAKSHMI-PUJA-INFO-IMPORTANCE-STORY
Varalakshmi Vratam When and How
Varalakshmi Vratam is an important pooja performed by many women in the month of Sravanamasam / Aavani. In this month many women perform Mangalagouri vratam on Tuesdays and Mahalakshmi puja on Fridays.VaraLakshmi Vratham is performed on The 2nd firday of Sravana maasa or the firday before full moon day (Pournami).It is believed that worship of Goddess Lakshmi on this day will bring health, wealth and prosperity. Vara means boon. Needless to say, performing puja (in the form of a Vratam) to Goddess Varalakshmi will bring in boons to those who performs with utmost devotion.
Those who fail to perform the Vratam can do it so on any other Friday of the Sravanamasam. Eight forces or energies are recognised and they are known as Sri (Wealth), Bhu (Earth), Sarasvati (learning), Priti (love), Kirti (Fame), Santi (Peace), Tushti(Pleasure) and Pushti(Strength).
Each one of these forces is called a Lakshmi and all the eight forces are called the Ashta Lakshmis or the eight Lakshmis of the Hindus. Vishnu is also called Ashta Lakshmi Padhi which is equivalent to saying that he is the asylum for the eight-Lakshmis or forces. Lakshmi is a woman. So she will more readily sympathise with women.
Hence this varalakshmi Vratam is performed by women invoking the blessings of Lakshmi on their family and bless them with health, wealth and prosperity. Preparation of Varalakshmi Vratham : Goddess Lakshmi loves cleaner and tidier homes.
Hence,the pooja room and the house is cleaned on previous day itself. Puja related vessels are cleaned and polished. On the Puja day Women woke up early morning clean the pooja room and make kolam (rangoli) with rice flour. Keep a flat wooden platform/ plate spread a blouse piece over it. Over the blouse piece spread a cup of rice .
Place a cloth and spread some raw rice on it and place kalash on it. The Kalash is half-filled with water and decorated with betelleaves, usually five in number.The Kalash tray can be filled with turmeric, kumkum, sandalwood and other Pooja items..
The coconut is applied with turmeric and is richly decorated with kumkum. Now close it with with coconut with red cloth folded like pyramid,(look like a cap). The features of the Goddess are also drawn on the coconut to make the image of Her to facilitate worship. Jewellery is put round the coconut. Decorate and place some flowers.
Story of SRI VARAMAHALAKSHMI
The story happens in a beautiful town called Kundinagaram located in the Kingdom of Vidarbha (Vidarba Rajyam). In that Kundinagram town, Goddess Adilakshmi, being pleased by her devotion tells Charumathi in a dream and directed her to perform the vrata to enable Her to fulfil her desires. Charumathi wakes up and tells her husband about the dream. Charumathi along with some neighbourhood women takes bath in the wee hours and prepare a mandapam and invites Varalakshmi Devi. She recites the following sloka along with other women with utmost faith and devotion.Sri Maha Lakshmi Stotram
Lakshmi Ksheerasamudra rajatanyam sri rangadhameswareem
Dasibootha samastha devavanitham lokaika deepamkuram
Sri manmanda kataksha labdhivibhat brahmendra gangadharam

Then she wore nine threads Thoranam( A band with yellow thread) to right hand and offers naivadyam to Goddess Lakshmi Devi. On the completion of the first circumstance, she heard she found Gajjelu, Andelu and other ornaments. On the second circumstance, they found kankanams made of navaratnams to their hands. On completion of the third circumstance, they found immense wealth. Then Charumathi offers Tambulam to the brahmin priests and distribute the vrata prasadam to the relatives and lead a happy life. Since then, Hindu women perform this vrata with utmost faith and trust till today. With this, Lord Eswara concludes telling the story to Goddess Parvathi.

Naga Panchami-Festival Importance-Worshipping 5 SNAKES
NAGA PANCHAMI (SNAKE FESTIVAL- NAGA)
Naga Panchami, or the festival of snakes, is observed on the fifth day of the bright lunar fortnight of the Shravana month of the Hindu calendar and is dedicated to the worship of serpents mentioned in the great Hindu Puranas( Sanskrit encyclopedic texts containing cosmogonic histories, legends of gods and heroes, and other traditional material). The five "Naga"s or snakes worshipped on Nag Panchami are Ananta, Vasuki, Taxak, Karkotaka and Pingala.
Naga Panchami Short Story
It is widely believed that the fifth day of bright half of the Hindu month of Shravana provides special pleasure to divine snakes and this is the reason Naga Panchami is still widely celebrated all across the India. According to one of the mythical stories, once the Naga Loka got blazed due to the maternal curse and this immense pain of Nagas subsided on the day of Naga Panchami. It made this festival so widely known. According to Bhagvata, when the king Janmejaya started performing Naga Yajna to destroy all the snakes, on the day of Naga Panchami, the son of recluse Jaratkaru, Aastik, rescued and saved them. This is one of the reasons of celebrating Naga Panchami. In various places all across India, it is a tradition to make five idols of snakes each with the five heads using gold, silver or the wood pen. The divine snakes are worshiped with milk, Panchamrit and Kheer.In its true sense, the festival of Naga Panchami inspires us to protect snakes. Every creature has its unique importance in preservation of environment and forests, and the snakes are one of the most pivotal creatures in this regard, and they are etched in over faith and tradition.
1. Ananta - (SNAKE GODDESS NAME)
The thousand-headed AnantaNag or SheshaNag is believed to be the couch of Lord Vishnu. It is said that the Lord reclines on Shesh Nag to relax between the time of the dissolution of one Universe and creation of another. This posture of the Lord over the snake Ananta is called AnanthaSayana. The serpent's thousand heads rise as a canopy over the recumbent deity and is also said to hold up the earth. Known as Ananta(the endless), Shesh Nag is held to be the symbol of Eternity. During Nagpanchami, women worship Ananta ( thousand-headed Ananta is Vishnu's couch ) the cosmic snake in temples.
2. Vasuki - (SNAKE GODDESS NAME)
Vasuki is described as a great King of the nagas(snakes) who has a magnificient gem (Nagamani) on his head. Interestingly, Vasuki is mentioned not only in Hindu mythology but also in the Buddhist, Chinese and Japanese mythology. In Bengal, a custom of worshipping the female snake-deity Manasa still prevails and scriptures mention her to be the sister of Vasuki. The most prominent legend in Hinduism concerning Vasuki is the famous incident of Samudra manthan, the churning the ocean of milk. The snake king allowed the devas (gods) and the asuras (demons) to use him as the churning rope while they looked for the ambrosia of immortality. In Buddhist mythology, Vasuki and the other Naga Kings are seen to be amongst the audiences of many of the sermons of Lord Buddha. As the king of the snakes, their duty is seen to be leading their kinsmen in the protection, worship and honoring of the Buddha amongst the snakes and also to see that other enlightened beings are protected when in danger.
3. Takshak - (SNAKE GODDESS NAME)
The Hindu scriptures describe Takshak as one of the powerful ruler of the snakes who killed king Parikshit, the descendant of Pandavas. According to legend, king Parikshit once insulted a great sage while he was engrossed in meditation and was cursed by the latter that he will die of a snake bite. To avoid the fulfillment of this curse, Parikshit built his palace on a single pillar surrounded by water with the belief that no snake could reach him crawling through the water. Then Takshak took up the challenge to honour the sage's words. He shrunk his body and hid in an apple. Just as Parikshit was about to eat the apple, he sprang out of it to regain his original shape and bit the king. In indignation, the king's son, Janamejay, kindled a huge sacrificial fire and upon his order the royal priests chanted powerful mantras(sacred utterance) which made all snakes fall into the fire. It was only on the intervention of the wise sage Astik that Takshak and the surviving snakes escaped the mass annihilation and the sacrifice was stopped.
4. Karkotaka - (SNAKE GODDESS NAME)
Described as a Nagavanshi king, Karkotaka was the divine ruler of the snakes who had deceived Narada and was cursed as a result. Because of this, Karkotaka could not move a step. When he got trapped in a fire one day and was about to be burnt, King Nal saved him. In gratitude, Karkotaka helped Nal to disguise himself so that he could win back his kingdom and reunite with his wife, Damayanti.
5. Pingala snake - (SNAKE GODDESS NAME)
Pingala is one of the names of the chief Nagas from the Adi Parvan. His name is related to the story of the "Four Great Treasures" mentioned in Indian as well as Buddhist literature. The "Mahavastu" mentions that the four great treasures are Sankha at Benares, Paduma at Mithila, Pingala in Kalinga and Elapatra at Taxila. Pingala is believed to be the guardian of the treasure hidden at Kalinga.

The full moon day in the Hindu month of Ashad (July-August) is observed as the auspicious day of Guru Purnima, a day sacred to the memory of the great sage Vyasa. All Hindus are indebted to this ancient saint who edited the four Vedas, wrote the 18 Puranas, the Mahabharata and the Srimad Bhagavata. Vyasa even taught Dattatreya, who is regarded as the Guru of Gurus. Shiridi Saibaba shown so many miracles and wonders to the devotees who looked at him and who admired him as a GREAT GURU (GURU MAHARAJ). Guru is not restricted to one person. It is a status given by the GOD to Preach something Good to Society.

Significance of Guru Purnima
On this day, all spiritual aspirants and devotees worship Vyasa in honor of his divine personage and all disciples perform a 'puja' of their respective spiritual preceptor or 'Gurudevs'.This day is of deep significance to the farmers, for it heralds the setting in of the much-needed rains, as the advent of cool showers usher in fresh life in the fields. It is a good time to begin your spiritual lessons. Traditionally, spiritual seekers commence to intensify their spiritual 'sadhana' from this day.
The period 'Chaturmas' ("four months") begins from this day. In the past, wandering spiritual masters and their disciples used to settle down at a place to study and discourse on the Brahma Sutras composed by Vyasa, and engage themselves in Vedantic discussions.
Guru Purnima Moola Mantra which should be daily recited.

Dhyaana moolam guror murtih;
Pooja moolam guror padam;
Mantra moolam guror vakyam;
Moksha moolam guror kripa
"The Guru's form should be meditated upon; the feet of the Guru should be worshipped; his words are to be treated as a sacred Mantra; his Grace ensures final liberation".
3. Sadhus and Sannyasins are then worshipped and fed at noon.

Mentally pray to him for his Grace, through which alone you can attain Self-realisation. Do vigorous Japa and meditate in the early morning hours."After bath, worship the lotus feet of your Guru, or his image or picture with flowers, fruits, incense and camphor. Fast or take only milk and fruits the whole day.
In the afternoon, sit with other devotees of your Guru and discuss with them the glories and teachings of your Guru.
"Alternatively, you may observe the vow of silence and study the books or writings of your Guru, or mentally reflect upon his teachings. Take fresh resolves on this holy day, to tread the spiritual path in accordance with the precepts of your Guru.
"At night, assemble again with other devotees, and sing the Names of the Lord and the glories of your Guru. The best form of worship of the Guru is to follow his teachings, to shine as the very embodiment of his teachings, and to propagate his glory and his message."

10 Basic Steps to Perform Puja For All GODS
Puja is the act of showing reverence to a god, a spirit,
or another aspect of the divine through invocations, prayers, songs, and
rituals. An essential part of puja for the Hindu devotee is making a spiritual
connection with the divine. Most often that contact is facilitated through
an object: an element of nature, a sculpture, a vessel, a painting, or a
print.
For performing Basic Puja which has specific pre-defined order and sequence, which we ought to follow is as follows. In Hindu religion, Pooja and Anushthaan are important and sanctimonious duties which enable the native to attain prosperity, success, peace and enlightment.
Pooja is of two types.
Saguna: This type of pooja is performed by married and family persons to fulfill their wishes or to gain some special things in life. It is mandatory to perform all the eight parts of the saguna pooja.
Nirguna: This form of pooja is used by saints or celibates. They can chant concerned mantra or offer prayers in any form of their liking or wishes.

The Procedures of Pooja
1.Physical Purification: Sprinkle pure Gangajal (Water obtained from the sacred River Ganges) on your body.
Mantra:
Om (Aum ) Apavitraha Pavitovaa Sarva-Vastaang Gatopivaa I
Yah Smaret Pundarikaaksham Sava Shyabhyaam Tarah Shuchi II

Mantra:
Aum Prithvi Twaya Dhritaalokaa Devitwam Vishnunaadhrita I
Twam Cha Dharayah Maamdevi Pavitram Purichaasam II
4.Pavitri Dhaaran: We need to purify the blood flowing in our body. To do this, one needs to wear the ring made of Kush (Kind of Grass) or Gold in ring or middle finger.
Mantra:
Pavitryaasthoh Vaishnabhyoh Sa Vi Turvaaha Pra Sha Ba Utpurnaa I
Mmyachidre Na Pavitre Na Surya Jasya Rashmibhihi
Tasya te Pavitraapate Pavitraputasya Yat Kaamah Pune Takshake Yamma II
5.Tilak Dhaaranam (In Hinduism, Tilak is a mark worn on forehead): Whenever we contemplate to do
righteous works then we are grappled with numerous problems that delay our good work. Tilak is worn to avert these problems and help the native to obtain strength and mental stability to successfully carry out the homage.
Mantra:
Swasti Na Indro Bridhdhha Sravaaha I
Swasti Na Haan Pookha Vishvwaa Vedaaha
Swasti Nastaaraksho Arishtane Mehin
Swasti No Vrihaspaatir Dadhaatu II
6.Suryaardhyam: Sun holds a very important role in our lives. This is because Sun was the only Lord who provided important rays to the mankind, ever since its origin. Sun has eradicated the darkness and ignorance of the nature and mankind.
Mantra:
Aakrishne Narjasaa Vartamano Niveshayan Na Mrityour Martayash Cha I
Hiranya Ye Na Savitarathe Na Devo Jaa Tibhuvana Nippasyanna II
The whole environment gets lighted with the rise of Sun and this light also protects mankind from the darkness of ignorance. Sun is responsible for the social recognition and reputation; this is why we pray to him for happiness and peace by offering him the ardhya containing fresh water.
Mantra:
7.Pitree Ardhya:

Namah Swadhaye Swahaye Nitya Mev Namo Namah II
The aforementioned pitree-kriya helps in the successful completion of all rituals concerning Sanaatan Dharm.
8.Digrakshanam (Protecting the Directions)
To protect the ritual and yajna, one should sprinkle Yellow Mustard Seeds in ten directions and pray to the Lord of the respective direction. The prayer must be a form of request to protect the native and his righteous work. Following are the names of the Lords of the ten directions.
1. Varaaha

However, the modern people wish to complete all this swiftly by chanting short words or chanting words in haste. Welcoming the revered, respected and worshipped Gods or Saints without any Vedic Mantra is considered wrong according to Vedic Sanaatan religious books. It is the general and important custom to greet or welcome through Vedic Mahaamantra.

a) Nishkaam Samkalp: This samkalp is devoid of any thoughts and wishes. And this Samkalp is done from the curiosity of inner core.
b) Sakaam Samkalp: Through this samkalp, we wish to eradicate the problems in our lives. We tell our problems to God by mentioning our Zodiac (Raashee), Planetary position of the day (Gochar), house and want the God top sort out those problems. Hindu religion believes that there is power in mantra which can decimate our problems.
These steps are precursor to a successful pooja, especially for Saguna Pooja. Remember, you will get the benefic effects of a pooja only when every step (of the aforementioned ones) is performed in the way as described. However, not following them would not harm you but it would not be beneficial either.

Vakratunda Mahaakaaya Suryakotee SamaPrabha
Nirvighnam kuru mey Deva, Sarva kaaryeshu Sarvadaa II10.Samkalp (Pledge): There are two types of Samkalp
a) Nishkaam Samkalp: This samkalp is devoid of any thoughts and wishes. And this Samkalp is done from the curiosity of inner core.
b) Sakaam Samkalp: Through this samkalp, we wish to eradicate the problems in our lives. We tell our problems to God by mentioning our Zodiac (Raashee), Planetary position of the day (Gochar), house and want the God top sort out those problems. Hindu religion believes that there is power in mantra which can decimate our problems.
These steps are precursor to a successful pooja, especially for Saguna Pooja. Remember, you will get the benefic effects of a pooja only when every step (of the aforementioned ones) is performed in the way as described. However, not following them would not harm you but it would not be beneficial either.

RAMA NAVAMI - IMPORTANCE OF FESTIVAL - Short Story Watch
Sri Rama Navami is the birth anniversary of Sri Rama celebrated by devotees all over the world. It falls on the ninth day of the bright fortnight when the asterism Punavasu(Geminorum) is in the ascendancy. The observance of this Vrata (Continuous Prayers till the day ends) is said to absolve one from all sins. Men of all grades and ranks observe this Vrata for obtaining prosperity, longevity, happiness and wisdom.
The Lord Mahavishnu, one of the Hindu Trinity, representing the preservative aspect of the universe as in his previous incarnations (avatars), descended into the world to kill the ten-headed Asura named Ravana who was an epitome of the ten ahamkaras (egoism) of men. When one is under the sway of the ahamkaras, the power of discrimination between right and wrong is destroyed. Consequently the Lord's light has to descend on him to destroy these ahamkaras.
During Rama Navami Hanuman is worshipped for his unflinching devotion to Rama, and his worship forms an important part of the Rama Navami celebrations.
