Guest guest Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 || Hare Rama Krsna|| Dear Samir and list members, Namaskaar, With the permission of Visti (list moderator) and note from Sanjay Ji, I am sharing something with the list regarding the upcoming Full Moon. Best wishes, Nitin. || Namah Shivaaya || =============== > om gurave namah > Dea > r Judylynn > You have a good point but I think the calculations have been misunderstood. What Sai Baba meant was that this Christmans was a very profound day as this is going to open up a number of spiritual doors for all of us provided we make the best use of it. > > Look at the Panchanga for that day i.e. 25 Dec 2005 for New Delhi, India and for Boulder, CO, USA as well as for the previous and next day > FIRST POINT: It is not mokshada ekadasi. The mokshada ekadasi is on 22 Dec 2004 and is a suddha ekadasi with complete fasting required and breaking of fast on the next day i.e. on the 23 Dec between 7.00 - 10.30 am approximate. So the reference made by Sai Baba is definitely not for ekadasi. > > SECOND POINT: For moksha mantras the turiya gayatri or the midnight is important. Incidentally the reference made by Sai Baba is to the midnight hour and not to the daytime. This is an important time to initiate any mantra related to the highest spiritual quest and to wash away one's sins. > > In fact it is the night of December 25, 2005 which is a full Moon and is the most auspicious Margasira Pournima. This is the best time to recite the mantras with which one has been already initiated. It is a full Moon coinciding with a Saturday (natural ruler of the full Moon) and the most auspicious time to make amends for all the LIES we have ever spoken in our lives. It is the night for SATYA VRATA or the vow of truth and Satya Narayana is best worshipped during this night. > > > > It is the most auspicous Katyayini vrata for those initiated into the Shakta path. For the Vaishnavas it is the day marking the end of Kesava masa and the begining of Narayana Masa...a most auspicious moment to remember the Lord Satya Narayana. Those dedicated to Lord Shiva remember Him as Viswanatha, the granter of moksha and guru diksha on this day... > > Baba is right..make the best of this time. > > > > I am copying this message to the lists so that everyone benefits with this auspicious time with the request that they circulate this to the lists moderated/controlled by them. Thank you...I would have missed this golden chance to recite 'om namo bhagavate satyadevaaya'...om namo bhagavate vaasudevaaya'...or those looking for a guru should recite 'om bhur-bhuva-svah saamba sadaashivaaya namah' > > > With kind regards, > Sanjay Rath > Webpages: http://srath.com http://.org > SJC Puri: 212 Gopal Ballav Road, Puri 752001, India > Phone: +91.6752.226269 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
