Holi(2/Mar/18)

It is celebrated on the Phalguna maasa pournami every year.  It is popularly called as “Kaamana habba”.

It is the day on which Mano niyamaka Rudra Devaru burnt Manmatha.

Once Manoniyamaka Rudradevaru was deep in meditation, became indifferent to love and thus all procreation stopped. All the devataas approached Kama (deity of love), who fired an arrow of love, at Shiva.   Shiva with his meditation disturbed opened his third eye and burnt down Kaama into ashes. Rati, Kaamas’s wife performed severe penance. Shiva promised her that Kaama would return to her and resume the spread of love and procreation.  However He would be formless

On the eve of Holi, huge bonfires are lit with logs of wood, dried cow dung, ghee, honey and the new crops brought from the fields.

It is also in our tradition to prepare Habbada adige/Saanacha sampaka(Marathi) and Enjoy the feast with beloved family members

For small kids less than 5 Years of age, during Holi time they are adorned with different (garlands) made out of edible items such as Puffed rice Maala, Sugar candy Maala, Chocolate maala, biscuit maala etc. This is believed to be a custom for ‘Peeda Parihara’.

  • Put the new dress for the kids
  • Invite friends/relatives
  • Make the kid sit on a plank (Paat) or chair facing East
  • Put the maalas one by one
  • At the end do Aarthi

Sankraanthi

What is Sankraanthi?

Sankraanthi is the starting season of Harvesting

Trees, plants and the nature are exposed to the rainy season, fall(Autumn), biting cold  and the  freezing temparature that normally exists in  the DakshiNaayana.

The  UththaraayaNa  welcomes the spring season. The weather, the season, the harvest, the good health that man enjoys, the grains that is produced from so many yields after hard work  etc  are all the characteristics of  the  UththaraayaNa.  That is why it is named  as  “PuNyakaala”.

DakshNaayana is called PitrugaLa kaala and UttaraayaNa as DevathegaLa kaala.

“Ayana” means Movement. Path. The sun who was leaning towards dakshiNa will start  changing his path towards UthThara. He rises up and up making the day more and night less.

It is the harvest festival when farmers worship the sun as well as their cattle by way of thanks giving for the harvest

In Tamilnadu, this festival goes by the name “Pongal”. In Andhra it is being celebrated as ” Pedda Panduga” and In North it is celebrated as “ Kanoo Habba”

The celebrating style differs from state to state

Tham Sooryam Jagath Karthaaram
Mahaateja Pradeepanam
MahapaapaharamDevam
thamSooryam PraNamaamyaham!!

It is also the day on which Soorya enters Makara Raashi leaving the Dhanur Rashi which is called Sankraanthi.

Significance:

NiRNaya Sindhu says like this:

Thasyaam krishNa Thilai Snaanam
Kaaryam chodvarthanam ShuBhai
Thilaa Deyaashcha VipreBhyO
Sarva DevOththaraayaNe
Thila ThailEna Deepaashcha
Deyaa Devagrihe ShuBhaah||

VishNu Dharma says:

UttarEtyayanE vipraa
VasradaanaM mahaaphalaM
Tila poorNa manaDwaahaM
DattwaarOgyaH pramuchyatE ||

From the above quotes it is clear that on this festival,  one should take bath with black sesame seed (Ellu), Ellu should be given as Dana. At temples one should lit Deepam with Sesame oil.

If one  performs  Daana- Dharma  on the UththaraayaNa puNyakaala day,   the saying is  that Soorya Bhagawaan  would protect  always us for many Janmaas.   On this day importance is given to  Thila dhaana, thila Homa, Thila BhakShaNa

ashwija maasa · deepavali · FESTIVALS · MADHWA · naraka chathurdashi

Deepavali/Naraka Chathurdashi

Deepavali is one of the most celebrated and the most grand festival by Hindus across the globe. Festival mood starts with buying new dress, preparation of snacks and sweets, ganga snana, crackers, early morning oil bath everything

People asking each other “Ganga snana ayuitta?” on Diwali morning is a common greeting on this special day

Jala-poorna-trayo-dashi (neeru-thumbu-vahabba):

  • The vessel/Pathra used for heating the water is decorated with sunna and kunkuma.
  • Mango leaves along with a piece of turmeric tied around the neck of the vessel.
  • Fill the vessel with water
  • Do Ganga pooja

Gange cha yamune chaiva godaavari saraswati |
Narmade sindu kaaveri jalesmin sannidhim kuru | 

  • The house is decorated with Deepa everywhere; inside, outside of the house
  • Deepavali (Deepa + Aavali). Aavali means row of Deepas, pleasantly one after the other.
  • Deepa kept outside the house is called ‘Aakaasa-Deepa’. This invites Mangala Devatas inside our house.
  • Prepare the festival food and Enjoy the dinner with family after doing neivedhya to Lord sri hari.
  • Before going to bed, clean the Puja room with wet cloth and decorate with rangoli. Place the items needed for the pooja next day. Keep new clothes on one side, On the other side, oil, etc. tamboola, arisina, kumkuma, fruits, flowers, etc. can be kept.

ARATI TO THE LORD:

  • Wake up early in the morning
  • after completing morning duties, lit Devara Deepa.
  • The Yajamana in the house, changing his vastra, brings a little of hot water from the bathroom and keeps it for Puja.
  • This simple Puja begins with Aachamana, and then Archana on Puja Box.
  • Then Offer the neivedhya
  • Do Mangalarathi.(We used to lit crackers outside at the same time to Mark the death of  Narakasura)
  • Ladies perform Kumkuma Arati.
  •  The hot water kept in Puja is then added to the water in the bathroom.

ARATI TO THE FAMILY MEMBERS

  • All the members in the house sit on a mat.
  • Grandmother/mother or elder person in the family applies kumkuma to each of the family members and gives tamboola.
  • Singing (Arati) song, two of them perform Arati (used earlier for the Lord). It is a symbol of ‘mangalakara’

ENNE SHASTRA

sloka to chant while doing enne sashthra for oil bath

  • The ladies, singing aashirvada songs, gently apply oil on the heads of each member thrice using a flower.
  • Dharma Shastra specifically proclaims this as ‘Naaree-krita-neerajana’.
  • After this, everyone returns back the tamboola and go for oil bath.
  • This oil bath (or Abh-yanga in hot water) is “Ganga-Snana”. It is completed before sun-rise.

On Deepavali day, Ganga Devi is present in water everywhere for 2 hours before sun-rise. The Snana within that period is “GangaSnana”, even if it is bucket-water in the bathroom

Sloka to chant while doing ganga snana on deepavali

RECEIVING THE NEW VASTRA

  • The elderly Yajamana in the house, takes bath first.
  • After Gopi-chandana Naama, he does Namaskara to the Lord and takes his new Vastra kept already in the Puja room. He wears the new vastra and offers Namaskara again and sits there.
  • Then the other members in the family, after their oil bath, come one by one and sits in front of the Lord
  • The Yajamana applies kumkuma to the new vastra. Placing it in a plate, along with Tamboola, he chants Ashirvada Mantra and offers it individually to each one in the family, with his blessings

GANGA WATER PROKSHANA

  • If  Ganga water is available in a can, etc., take a small quantity in a sliver cup/vessel.
  • Using a Pushpa, sprinkle the water to all the members in the family either before or after wearing new vastra.

YAMA TARPANA

Dharma Shastra says:- Give Yama Tarpana immediately after Deepavali Abhyanga Snana (oil bath). But in our Sampradaya, some adheres to this. Others give this Tarpana after Puja.

Even though it is called “Tarpana”, actually it is Arghya to Yama Devata.

Significance:

  •  Yama Tarpana is not like Pitru Tarpana; but Arghya, because Yama is a Devata (not our Pitru). Therefore we offer this as Arghya. No palahara niyama at night on this day
  •  Yama resides in the South. For this reason we offer this Arghya facing South.

FESTIVALS · MADHWA · POOJA · sankalpa

Pooja sankalpa for USA

Doing pooja sankalpa in USA differs from doing pooja sankalpa in baratha bhoomi. We cant refer baratha varshe Jambu dveepe dhandakaranya etc as if from our original sankalpa

any pooja sankalpa comprises two parts:

  1. The place where we are doing
  2. The date we are doing

The first part gets changed because of the location. The location details would be different.

Sankalpa:

For any pooja just fill up the samvathsara, maasa, paksha and the festival or pooja deity in preranaya and prithyartham and pooja/festival and type of pooja before dhyanam.

In general you can fill up as sri lakshmi narayana preranaya and sri  lakshmi narayana preethyartham

Subhe shobana muhurte , aadya brahmanaha, dwiteeya parardhe, sweta varaha kalpe, vivaswata manwantare, kaliyuge, pradhama paade, Krowncha (land of Eagle) dweepe, Ramanaka Varshe, Indra khande (emipre of Indra), Ramyaka Paschimadese (western country),  ashwin varthamaane ________ nama samvathsare __________(uttarayane/Dakshinayane)____________ varsha rithou __________ maase _______________pakshe  _____ thithow shuba vasare subha nakshathre subha yoga subha karana yevanguna visheshana vishistyam subhathi thow barathi ramana mukhya pranantharkatha sri _______________ preranaya, sri _________________ prithyartham asmakam saha kudumbaanam kshema sthairya vijaya veerya ayur arokya aishwaryaan thatha sath santhana chinthitha manobhista sidhyartham thatha gnana bakthi vairagya siddhyartham paramatmani achalaa bakthi siddhyartham bagavatha sri lakshmi narayana preethyam  _________________________ dhyanam avaahanadhi shodasha upachara poojam karishyee

  • Varsha rithou – season
  • Maase – Month
  • Paksha – Shukla/Krishna
  • Thithow – Thithi

There is a long debate exists that we are not suppose to cross ocean. once we did , there is no point in pooja and sankalpa in a foreign land. For just that reason, we should not leave our traditions and practices behind.But I believe Something is better than Nothing. with all the devotion and faith in Sri Hari, we must continue pooja and our culture throughout.
