Dear Sir, These days Iam busy with my exams and hence, I could not post any articles. It is my group, I will defintely post. Iam just replying to persistent queries. If anyone goes on asking me, I take pity and then reply and make that a posting in our group just to keep the group alive. Carry on with the annadanam. Here in Malikapurathu Amba temple, annadanam for 50 people costs 200 rupees.I do that at times. Every night I have a habit of feeding atleast one beggar or a dog some food daily. Apart from feeding

crows in the morning. This gives me great satisfaction. Any act which you do should touch your soul only then one can progress spiritually. No use mass arranging programmes. It will definitely add to your good karmas, no doubt but in the end will make you to take another birth to enjoy those karmas. However there is a saying in sanskrit... Na annaodaka samam daanam Na thithir dwadashyaa samam, Na gayathro paro mantraha Na mathurdeivatham sadaa ...so there is no

greater danam than food and water but it must be given with discretion and to clear off your exisiting bad karmas not to create new good karmas. There is a subtle difference. First thing which you must do is to search for yourself a suitable Guru. Then proceed in the Datta Marga. Have just one guru either Pithapuram Sri Pada Vallabha or Ganagapura Nrusimha Sarswathy...two gurus are not possible,many guides can be there but guru is eka.... Ekameva na dwityam gurutatwam iti uchyathe More than Annadanam, I would suggest supplying free medicines to

poor people,some sort of eyecamp can be held. Or some Aushada Danam can be given to people who cannot afford.Annadanam will just feed the person for one day but Aushadha Danam will save his life or heal his pain. Serve the poorest of the poor and then Your Datta will be pleased. Why Datta?...even Parabrahmam will be at your beck and call....not that you are going to pass any orders... I used to say one small prayer in School. It affected my mind very much. That was way back in third standard and even today I say that daily! It is a Christian prayer. I studied in a convent school with catholicity so all prayers were said. The prayer is of St. Franciss of Assisi,a chrisitan mystical saint.... Saint Francis of Assisi baptised as Giovanni di Bernadone b. 1182 -- d. 1226 A. D. The Peace Prayer of Saint Francis"O Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace!Where there is hatred, let me sow love.Where there is injury, pardon.Where there is discord, harmony.Where there is doubt, faith.Where there is despair, hope.Where there is darkness, light.Where there is sorrow, joy.Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal

Life." The exact origin of this beautiful prayer remains unknown. The prayer was apparently written in France during World War I, perhaps by a Catholic Priest, Father Bouquerel. This prayer does not appear in any known writings of St Francis. It is commonly known as the Peace Prayer of Saint Francis only because it was often seen printed on a small card that had a picture of Saint Francis on the other side, but the card did not make any claim that the prayer was written by Saint Francis. The first known appearance of this inspiring prayer was in 1912 AD when it was published in the French magazine La Clochette. Vasudaivakutumbakam! S Gaaru. All are our brothers. So we can learn divine precepts from any religion. May the import of this prayer be your leading light for your life. Give all to get all but keep a hold on Ego lest it feels that it is doing some thing great! OM, Prema and kind regards, Shreeram Balijepalli

Dear Jabalimuniji,

 

Dwadashi is a very auspicious day as far as the six schools of

religion are concerned. For Devi it is a day of archana for Vishnu

it is a day of vrata, for shiva a day of abhisheka for skanda it is

a day of mantra japa for ganesha it is a day of tarpana and so on.

 

That is why dwadashi is mentioned. Many think that only a few days

like chaturdasi or ekadashi are important but in the vedic times

dwadashi used to be held with pious regards.

 

Below Iam giving a list of dwadashi vratas with which this day has

assumed religious significance. Almost all dasahaavataras are

covered in the vratas.

 

I know this is straying a bit away from the main forum discussions

but still, Iam supplementing my posting with some information for

you.

 

MATSYA-DWADASHI VRATA

Matsya-dwadashi is celebrated on the twelfth day of hindu month-

Margashirsh.On this auspicious day a devotee should worship lord

Matsya -the incarnation of lord Vishnu with appropriate rituals and

give charity to brahmins.Prithvi was the first one to observe this

particular austerity while she was being abducted to rasatala by a

mighty demon named Hiranyaksha.A devotee who observes a fast on this

day and worships lord Matsya with appropriate rituals attains to

Brahma loka and remains their for eternity. Such a person attain's a

divine body when creation recommences after the period of deluge.An

issue-less woman is blessed with a virtuous son if she observes a

fast on this day.Matsya-dwadashi is capable of absolving a man even

of the gravest of his sin.

 

 

KURMA-DWADASHI VRATA

This particular austerity is dedicated to the worship of lord Kurma-

the incarnation of lord Vishnu.It is celebrated on the twelfth day

of the bright half of the hindu month 'pausha'.The austerity which

commences on the tenth day itself when a devotee is supposed to

purify himself by taking a holy bath.On the following day he

observes a fast and worships lord Kurma with appropriate rituals.He

breaks his fast on dwadashi which marks the conclusion of the

austerity.A devotee who observes a fast on this auspicious day

becomes absolved of all his sins and attains salvation.

 

 

 

VARAH-DWADASHI VRATA

Varah dwadashi is celebrated on the twelfth day of the bright half

of the hindu month-magh.This was the day on which Prithvi had been

rescued by lord Varah-the incarnation of lord Vishnu.An idol of lord

Varah is installed on a pot filled with water and worshipped with

appropriate rituals amidst the continuous chanting of the mantra-'om

varahay namah'.Offerings of various articles are made while

worshipping lord Varah-sandal- wood,incense, naivedya,etc.After the

accomplishment of the rituals brahmins are fed and charity given to

them.One who observes a fast on this day enjoys a good health and

prosperity.Such a man becomes absolved of all his sins and attains

to heaven after his death.

 

 

 

NRISIMHA-DWADASHI VRATA

This austerity is observed on the twelfth day of the bright half of

the hindu month-phalgun.A devotee should observe fast on this day

and worship lord Nrisimha with appropriate rituals.This particular

austerity is capable of absolving a man from all his sins.

 

 

 

VAMAN-DWADASHI VRATA

Vaman dwadashi is celebrated on the twelfth day of the bright half

of the hindu month-chaitra.A devotee should observe a fast and

worship lord Vaman by saying the following prayer-O Lord!Vaman-the

dwarfish incarnation of the almighty Vishnu,who took incarnation on

the auspicious day of dwadashi in the month of chaitra-I seek your

blessings. " One who observes a fast on this day is blessed and

protected from all kinds of danger.

 

 

JAMDAGNYA-DWADASHI VRATA

This austerity is related with the worship of lord Parshuram who is

also famous as Jamdagnya.It is cele- brated on the twelfth day of

the bright half of the hindu month-vaishakh.Before commencing the

rituals, a devotee should purify himself by taking a bath and then

worship an idol of lord Parshuram kept on a pot filled with

water.While worshipping he should make offerings of various articles

tothe deity-flowers, sandalwood,ardhya,etc.It is mandatory to remain

awake for the whole night.On the following day,he should donate the

idol to a brahmin.A devotee who observes a fast on this day gets all

his wishes fulfilled and attains to Brahma loka.

 

 

 

KALKI-DWADASHI VRATA

A devotee should commence this austerity by observing a fast on the

eleventh day of the bright half of the hindu month-bhadrapad and

break it on the following day-dwadashi.He should worship lord Kalki

with appropriate rituals.As per the norms of the rituals,the idol of

lord Kalki is placed on a pot which is filled with water.This idol

is donated to a learned brahmin on the following day-trayodashi.

 

 

 

PADMANABH-DWADASHI VRATA

This austerity is related with the worship of lord Padmanabh-an

epithet of lord Vishnu and is observed on the twelfth day of the

bright half of the hindu month-ashwin.One important charecteristic

of the ritual is that all the organs of lord Padmanabh is

worshipped.The idol is placed on a pot filled with water and while

worshipping offerings of various articles are made-

flowers,fruits,sandalwood,etc.On the following day the idol is

donated to a brahmin.One who observes a fast on this day enjoys a

prosperous life and attains to the abode of lord Padmanabh.

 

 

 

DHARNI-VRATA

This particular austerity is observed in the hindu month of

Kartik.The rituals commence by worshipping various organs of lord

Narayan

 

Similarly,srikrishna dwadashi is celebrated in the hindu month of

Ashadh,shukla- paksha.A devotee should worship lord Krishna on this

day and observe a fast.

 

BUDDHA-DWADASHI VRATA

Lord Buddha is believed to be the incarnation of Lord Vishnu.The

austerity begins on the eleventh day of the bright half of the hindu

month-shravan.On this day lord Vishnu is worshipped with appropriate

rituals and by making offerings of various articles like

flowers,fruits,incense,etc.

 

Aprt from the above,there are some days on which selection of holy

basil leaves(tulsi) are prohibited - Sunday, last day of dark lunar

phase (Amavasya), twelfth day of every Hindu month

(Dwadashi), `Sanskranti' and till the three hours after mid night.

Therefore the leaves should be collected, well before the above

mentioned days and times.It is said that during these times Tulsi

devi enters the plant leaves from the stem and meditates on Lord

Vishnu. This too highlights the importance of Dwadashi.

 

The vibrations on the dwadashi day due the moon reaching a bening

position in the horizon is considered good for the vrata or fasting

too.

 

Hope this satisfies you...

 

Yours yogically,

 

Shreeram Balijepalli

Dear Shreeramji,

Pranams!I thank you very much for giving me the importance of

Dwadashi and various Dwadashi vratas perfomed.Till now I have a

belief that Ekadasi is the most auspicious tidhi.You have

enlightened me about the auspicious Dwadasi tidhi in detail.

Regards,

Jabalimuni Putrevu.
