Big happenings on Jan 14th..

[Guest guest]

This is from another list I belong to..big doings on jan 14th from another

perspective too. My only thing to add is, i wonder if the shower is more

effective if the watere was out of a coppere vessel? Any auyervedics want to

comment on that?.

 

( And off the subject: I need to look at panchang for yesterday, Friday that

is. I got word that I do indeed have the college credits to get into the

alternative teacher's certification program here, in my case, for teaching

art in public schools. Got to pass a couple more tests. Got over the first

hurdle though, due to past school credits (finally somehow got those

official transcripts in difficult circumstances) and by teaching for three

years at a park dept program..

 

i don't know if I'll want to teach again, but it's closer to being an

option, anyway. Gee, I can LECTURE out loud and get PAID for it, then.

<LOL>)

 

Best Wishes,

Denise

Upcoming Event is Monday night/Tuesday morn Jan. 13/14 MAKAR

SANKRANTI!!! I wrote and I wrote, and I hit the send button, and it

never showed up anywhere....and tonight a friend informed me that we

have been in a mercury retrograde since January 2. I thought I was just

suffering from post-holiday tiredness or something, but this makes more

sense.

 

MAKAR SANKRANTI IS

The Night of No Evil Spirits On the Earth!!!

This is truly one of my favorites and the one night that is definitely

worth staying awake from sunset on the 13th night through sunrise on the

14th morn. The process is to repeat mantra and pray, as there are no

'blocks' to your prayers and good intentions and Higher Self

creations!!! They say prayers are worth about 1000 times the normal

'credit' on this night.

 

GOD KNOWS WE COULD USE A BOON LIKE THIS ABOUT NOW, with the 'impending

whatever' that is being orchestrated in the Middle East and with North

Korea, plus all the other places they are not really talking about right

now!!!

 

After your full night of praying (or mantra or Higher Good INTENDING),

you complete the ceremonial commitment by taking a bath at 4 a.m. **If

in Haidakhan, you dip into the Gautami Ganga!**

The word "bath" in this context means to pour water over the body, head

to toe. Water in a bucket, with a big cup (lota), poured cup by cup,

while repeating "Hara Ganga, Hara Ganga" will add a Holy Vibration to

your tap water. We in the West call this a shower. It seems more

authentic to me to use the bucket and lota rather than the shower

head... (do as you wish with this).

 

When in Haidakhan for this event, the tradition says that all the Gods

and Goddesses come down from Mt. Kailash and dip in the river at 3 a.m.

Then the 'regular people' take the bath at 4 a.m. benefitting from the

Holy Vibration they leave in the water.

 

Let us fill this universe with LIGHT on this auspicious NIGHT!!

Love and blessings,

 

 

p.s. Havan on Monday morning to celebrate the Makar Sankranti!! Please

May Peace Prevail on Earth
