Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 bhaiyon aur behenon, jai gurudev was just looking at the panchang. this sunday is very auspicious to worship sun. even mopre as you west along the world. i explain: reason 1) day is sunday 2) though the day rises on a shashthi (6) in india and even in europe, but moves to saptami (7). sun's own date. depending on where you are in the world. in US it is saptami at sunrise which is much better. 3) sun is in leo these days.--it's own house and very strong. 4) the nakshatra is krittika --the nakshatra owned by sun and represents havan agni--the fire that purifies. soon it is follwed by nakshtra rohani (owned by moon) which is a recomended nakshtra for sun worship in a MTY mag. 5) at sunrise in every country the ascendent is that in which sun is placed (leo). that is also the best time to worship sun. but this sunday do it both morning and evening. the next monday has nakshtra rohani which is very auspicious for moon worship/appeasment. sun worship is recommeneded to all people lazy and/ or mentally depressed , physically ill etc. sun represents praan force. worship of sun is also recommended fpr mantra siddhi. so good luck! jai gurudev anu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Thanks Anuji for the excellent info. However, I have a doubt. The Shraadh period is ongoing currently from 3rd sept to 17th sept. So, probably one cannot start a new sadhana in this period to take advantage of this auspicious moment. However, i guess that one can utilise this time period to perform Shraadh for one's ancestors & pitras; and get their blessings. On another note, i believe that pujya Gurudev's shraadh will be on navami. I guess that navami is on 12th. Is that correct?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 ---jai gurudev navmi ka shraadh is written as 11th sept in my panchang, > Thanks Anuji for the excellent info. However, I have a doubt. > The Shraadh period is ongoing currently from 3rd sept to 17th sept. > So, probably one cannot start a new sadhana in this period to take > advantage of this auspicious moment. arvind, if a near one to you is in coma and fighting death. will you wait for shradh to be over to start a sadhna. it all depends on how desperate you are, and what is the problem. if it is a sadhna that can wait --great. otherwie no harm will come of it doing it now, and then again after shraadh. of course it would have been better if it was say navratri. but still, at least to me, thereisi nothing wrong with it. > However, i guess that one can utilise this time period to perform > Shraadh for one's ancestors & pitras; and get their blessings. that is the best of course if you can do it. it is the most recommended thing to do. i did not know about guruji's shradh. thanks for the info. jai gurudev anu > On another note, i believe that pujya Gurudev's shraadh will be on > navami.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Jai Gurudev > navmi ka shraadh is written as 11th sept in my panchang, and my favorite panchang-website showed it as 12th sept. I'll try to contact local temple and get correct date. can any delhi/jodhpur based sadhak get correct date of pujya Gurudev's shraadh from Gurudham and tell us on this list? > will you > wait for shradh to be over to start a sadhna. u r correct madamji. Sabbath was created for man, and not man for Sabaath! however, just some thoughts of mine below- There is a basic fact of life which needs to be kept in mind. Every human being who is born is sure to die one day. Every living being dies one day, and death comes after life. This is certain. However, it is not always possible for birth to come after death. most of the dead souls have some unsatisfied cravings, attachments and linkages to their previous lives, and in such situation they cannot get free. And unless a soul becomes free from these bondages, it cannot be born again. Such souls "live" a very hard existance for years & years, waiting for their freedom. Morever, there is always a big competition among souls to enter a new womb/birth. All such souls visit their descendents during Shraadh period, and it is the duty of descendents to help these souls attain freedom and mukti and Sadgati. So, it is advisable to propitiate ancestors and perform shraadh sadhana during this period. As a mark of respect to these souls, who are elders in the house, one should not start any new venture or devote one's time in other sadhanas. The elders have come to your doorsteps, to your home, and it is your duty to honour and satisfy them. This birth happened only because of ancestors. Feeding pandits and donating in temples is not enough. Pandits are supposed to do full rituals before eating shraadh food, however these days, they just look at it as free-food. so, if one can, one sud perform shraadh sadhana to appease ancestors and obtain their blessings. Sometimes many problems of life gets solved by removal of "pitra-dosh". Of course, in case of illness or problems, one's duty is to cure that illness or resolve that problem first. But remember that the elders are standing at one's doorstep. I have extracted the above stuff from the sadhanas available at www.siddhashram.org/sadhna.shtml and mtyv mags. just some thoughts, Jai Gurudev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since shraadh i done in noon, it is usual to take the tithi at that time. kindly note that i photocopied the panchang that shrivastav uncle uses. BUT of course, i am not an expert on shraadhs, and you should verify from GURUDHam. I > > > will you > wait for shradh to be over to start a sadhna. > > u r correct madamji. arvind, i just noticed a good moment and decided to break my silence to inform members. but, probably it is better to be silent. The same way as Shrivastav uncle does. neither am i forcing any body or you to appease sun, nor am i stopping you from appeasing your ancestors. I never said once that DO NOT appease your ancestors. by the way alternate sundays are good after that and it not shradh then. so please do as you wish to, what you wish to and when you wish to. e or devote one's time > in other sadhanas. i have verified that more than once from GURUJI and have been asked to not stop my sadhna in any case. i have even been told by GURUDHam to take a new sanlkalp during shradh if the prev one broke. t. But remember that the elders > are standing at one's doorstep. > yes, yes that is right. i fully agree about how it is a good thing to appease ancestors. you are totally right. if you think it is necessary to carry on this discussion, kindly send me a personal mail. jai gurudev and good wishes anu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 JAi Gurudev Anuji, Sorry, i never meant it this way. Many thanks to u for giving us info on auspicious moments. please continue to "break yr silence" and give such info to all of us. this info is really very useful, and again, many thanks for this. i just wrote that introduction on shraadh because i felt that some of the members might not be ethnic Indian/hindus, and i thought about giving them introductory info on shraadh. maybe i sud have written a separate posting about intro-to-shraadh, and not mix it with yr mail. i fully agree with all yr views on sadhanas, sankalp during shraadh etc. and yes, i was wrong on panchang and panchang-date. maybe "my favorite panchang website" doesnt give accurate info. Probably it is Better to trust the paper version or www.vedicfuture.com (yr recommendation) why do i keep on getting involved in squabbles/confusion !
