Jaya Jagannatha

 

Dear Lakshmi,

 

Sorry, it was a brain switch. Actually tritiya begins on Wednesday when

Moon is going into its deepest exaltation. This is just over an hour

after sunset for where we are.

As for engaging in studies, Rohini nakshatra is not the nakshatra

recommended for studies but is good for meditation as it is in

swargaloka and Brahma lords this nakshatra.

Because the third thithi begins on a Wednesday, the yoga is considered

to be destructive (dagha yoga -burnt). To further clarify if this is

really going to be as rewarding as promised, we'll need to calculate

which planet gets the ahuti after the vrata for the day by performing

yagna.

The order of the planets for getting the ahuti are the following:

 

Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Rahu, Ketu

 

The Moon in Rohini is 4th away from the Sun in Aswini hence, take 4 and

divide by 3 = R1

Therefore, Sun gets the ahuti. Sun is Krura (malefic) and indicates a

destruction of the auspicious effects.

 

We can further determine the abode of the yagna thus:

The tithi is 3 (3rd day)

The weekday is Thursday (yagna day) = 5 + 3 = 8/4= 2

2 is the Abode of the Pataal Loka!!

 

It seems that from this, one should take a dip in the Holy Ganga to cool

down the Dagha effects and prayers to Vishnu the sustainer who rules

both valorous Martian days. On the 3rd, Vaisnavi stands in the SE.

 

Thanks for your inputs on Tirupati.............my barefoot walk from Sri

Varaha Temple with Ashwin and Freedom and how I made it to Lord

Venkateswara's Temple by a hair's breath and the delight into the

sanctum sanctorium at Padmavati Temple when the Temple was closed to the

public.....

 

What do you think is the meaning of Lord Venkateswara's purusha

(chest/bust)? It is meant for you to look after. My brother Bhima had a

similar experience whereby the images of Krishna and Radha kept on

appearing in a dream to a lady in England that they (Krishna and Radha)

wanted to return to India as they needed to look after a temple for

someone else. My brother now has the murtis at his temple.

 

Some things are just meant to be.

 

love,

Om Gurave Namah

 

Namaste Swee,

 

Akshaya Triteeya does fall on 22nd of this month, that too on a

Thursday! That's sure a great day to engage in study and meditation!

 

Akshaya Triteeya is also the day when the temple doors of Badrinath

reopen after the winter break, and the people can have a glimpse of

the Yogeswara.

 

That day is also the only day in an year, when the sandalwood paste

covering Lord Varaha Narasimha at Simhachalam is removed so that one

can see the Idol in all its glory (Here Nrisimha is supposed to be

Ugra Narasimha, so he is covered in sandalwood all the time and the

idol normally looks like a Shivalingam). In short, I think Akshaya

Triteeya is a day of revelations and enlightenment.

 

By the way, why are the two tithis governed by Mars, namely Triteeya

and Ekadasi, are invariably associated with Lord Vishnu?

 

Regards,

Lakshmi

Dear Swee,

How you decided on 22nd is not Akshaya Triteeya ? Even my "Udipi Shri

Krishna Panchang " says on 22nd is Akshaya Triteeya and Parashurama Jayanti. It

is Shukla Paksha,3rd day Saubhagya Yoga and Taitila Karana,Krittika Nakshatra.

So is the Panchang makers

made any mistake ? Please clarify.

With Shri Hari Vaayu Naama Smarana,

Ramadas Rao.

Dear Prashant,

 

sadgurudevaaye

namah

 

dear

gurus & friends

 

22nd

april is akshaya tritiya. it is said whatever is done /started on this tithi,

never perishes.

can

someone bless us with the mythology involved?

 

regards

prashant

 

22nd

April is not

Tahoma;color:black">Akshaya

color:black"> Tritiya

color:black"> as the day does not fall in the bright month of Vaishakha. This

day if glorified as the beginning to Treta Yuga.

a)

The devotee should worship Narayanaya accompanied by Shri with flowers, incense

and unguents.

 

b) If

he takes the holy dip in the Holy Ganga, he is absolved of all sins. He should

worship Vishnu with unbroken rice grains and feed Brahmanas with the flour of

barley, first friend and then ground and he himself shall partake of it. He who

does this is bowed to by all Devas.

color:black">_______________________________

 

The

Tahoma;color:black">Gauri

color:black"> Vrata

color:black"> is for an unmarried virgin, desirous of a bridegroom, matrimonial

bliss and good fortune for her sons and husband. Gauri’s image should be

made in gold. Silver, copper or clay along with that of Lord Shiva on this

third day in the bright half (sukla paksha) of the month of Chaitra. Observing

fast and remaining awake throughout the night, the worship is with scents,

fragrant flowers, clothes, auspicious ornaments and bundles of dhurva grass.

She propitiates a Brahmana woman whose husband and sons and girls of auspicious

characteristics and whom are still alive. She will offer them saffron, collyrium,

clothes and other items.

The

image of Gauri should be gifted to a Brahmana if it is metallic. If it is made

of clay, she should immerse it in a tank or a river.

This

vrata has to be kept for twelve years with due formal resolve to donate and

also donate twelve cows for the achievement of her desires.

color:black">Swarna-Gauri Vrata is to be performed on the third day of the

bright half of Sravana. Goddess Bhavani 

(Golden Image) accompanied by Lord Shiva should be worshipped by means

of the 16 (sixteen) Upacaras with a prayer etc. this vrata is to be kept for 16

years and the Udyapana (concluding rite of the vrata) by performing worship of

Ganesha and other Gods with a flat copper-plate over the water pot with scents,

fragrant flowers and perform Homa. Sixteen bamboo baskets shall be filled with

sweet dishes and cooked rice offered to the

color:black">Devi as

Naideya and distributed amongst Brahmanas , kinsmen and relatives.

color:black">The full benefit of this vrata can be attained by gifting the

golden image to the preceptor and other monetary gifts to the other Brahmanas.

(No expenses should be spared for this vrata).

color:black">______________________

color:black">

The

third day of the bright half of the month of Jyestha is known as Rambha. On

that day, one should duly worship and honour an excellent Brahmana accompanied

by his wife. With the desire of conjugal blessedness, a woman should perform

this holy rite and worship the Brahmana couple with scents, fragrant flowers,

silken garments etc. It yields wealth, sons and auspicious inclinations towards

Dharma.

 

color:black">_________________________

 

For

conjugal bliss, on the third day of the bright half of the month of Ashadha,

the lady should worship Keshava accompanied by Lakshmi, symbolized or

represented in a Brahmana accompanied by his wife. She should propitiate them

with meals, charitable gifts of cows, clothes and ornaments (and pleasing

words). By observing this vrata, the lady shall be blessed with wealth and food

grains.

 

There

are lots more for all the months throughout the

year………….but one thing is certain: none of the Vratas

stated in Narada Purana Part IV Chapter 112 suggests any observance during the

dark half of any of the months for the third day (

Tahoma;color:black">Tritiya

color:black"> Tithi
