Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 shared by Marge : Makar Sankranti This is a very auspicious occasion, as it is traditionally the "Night of No Evil Spirits on the Earth. From Sunset on the evening of Jan. 13 to Sunrise on the 14th, all evil spirits leave the earth. It is good to repeat the Name of God during that time or say prayers, as there is no obstruction to the Light. It is said that prayers have 1000 times more value when prayed at that time. At 4 a.m. you take a sacred bath (pour water over your body or take a shower). 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 in the water. You can add a Holy Vibration to your own tap water by repeating "Hara Ganga, Hara Ganga." while you pour the water over you. Om Namah Shivaya We are looking forward to this auspicious occasion and your participation! Love and Light, Marge May Peace Prevail on Earth best regards Shad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
