Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 The beginning : " Is there a specific puja one would do for peace? Not for oneself but for others, just peace in general. I find some of the tension and violence of the world a little overwhelming. It seems like, in addition to concrete worldly steps that one would take, there might be a specific ritual geared to bringing peace into the warring and violent world " In progress : The 5th Day Shakti Puja for world peace beginning on Monday 28th June 2008 till 21st August 2008. Time will be as follows: 0830hrs till 0900hrs and again at night from 2330hrs till 2400hrs [Asia Pacific Time. I am currently in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia] for those who are not sure you can log into the world clock website to refer: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ Reminder: There will be a solar eclipse on the 1st August. This is an auspicious time and the best time too for us to do our Shakti Puja. Malaysia/Singapore Time: 7:21pm to 8:38pm Penumbral Eclipse begins at 3:53pm (7:53am UT) Partial Eclipse begins at 4:51pm (8:51am UT) Total Eclipse begins at 5:52pm (9:52am UT) Greater Eclipse begins at 6:37pm (10:37am UT) Total Eclipse ends at 7:22pm (11:22am UT) Partial Eclipse ends at 8:23pm (12:23pm UT) Penumbral Eclipse ends at 9:21pm (1:21pm UT) [Plagarised from :http://www.geocities.com/sri_rajarajeshwari_peedam/] It will be good if we are able to do it simultaneously. Doesn't matter where' you're at, weather in the bus, train or at work. Just take a few mins off and do the visualization and breathing. We will all merge as one force. Technique [as per conversation. See below]: : BN: You just create a group for prayer and then first few days pray for the individuals in the group, then pray for their families, then extended families, thus slowly expand to the universe. You will see miracles. Going straight to universe you will not see results NMadasamy: Individuals in the group? Shall I ask who needs prayers? BN: No need to ask who needs. All need. This way you will see results and thus make your prayers stronger. I suggest for the group first, then their families, then their chosen People, then the town, then the country then the continent. BN: Just visualizing with deep breathing. NMadasamy: 3 days for individuals, 5 days for their families, 7 days for the extended families/chosen people, 10 days for the universe? That is the number I see BN: ok go ahead. NMadasamy: What do they visualize? What image should they visualize? BN: In order not to breach privacy you visualize the problems of individuals as a shadow over them and see the shadow being lifted and them becoming radiant and that the problems are solved. Sadhana must be flexible and stress free. This is the whole idea. If you find it inconvenient then its okay. There will always be other days [remember its from 28th July till August 21st. Total 25 days. I am sure you can manage at least one day, yes!]. You can just come in spend at least 5 mins if u can spare, do a short one and then move on. It's the thought that counts. Why we start from the group? We must always start from somewhere. But where? How do we all come up with this idea, its from this group. Its from this group too that we all come together, we congregate and 'pray' together. This group is our meeting place... the very point where we all meet [from all the different direction : North, South, East, West and all the inbetweens] The very center where the vibration will emanate that will create the ripple effect. Let my every word be a prayer to Thee, Every movement of my hands a ritual gesture to Thee, Every step I take a circumambulation of Thy image, Every morsel I eat a rite of sacrifice to Thee, Every time I lay down a prostration at Thy feet; Every act of personal pleasure and all else that I do, Let it all be a form of worshiping Thee. " From Verse 27 of Shri Aadi Shankara's Saundaryalahari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well, I finally just couldn't get home in time. I guess tomorrow is another day. But I must say that I really love this verse: Let my every word be a prayer to Thee, Every movement of my hands a ritual gesture to Thee, Every step I take a circumambulation of Thy image, Every morsel I eat a rite of sacrifice to Thee, Every time I lay down a prostration at Thy feet; Every act of personal pleasure and all else that I do, Let it all be a form of worshiping Thee. " From Verse 27 of Shri Aadi Shankara's Saundaryalahari Thank you for reminding me of it. It's a way of carrying this energy into the day.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 The pictures of the eclipse that I have seen are beautiful. Did anyone have a chance to be doing puja while it occured?

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 >Did anyone have a chance to be doing puja while it occured? Not exactly puja, but i meditated during the whole eclipse. Not difficult to stay up til 4 am because the energy was so intense. Didn't sleep long afterwards either. Your remarks prainbow (name?) on Durga were inspiring, and i spent time praying for peace and thinking about all you others in different parts of the world meditating along those same lines.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I have heard that prayers / mantras during the eclipse have 1000 times more impact. I used these two hours (in New Delhi) to specifically to do puja/ mantra recitation. It was a bit taxing. But I did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Ok. Thanks for the information. But please enlighten me, simple mantras like Om Namoh Shivaya, Om Ganeshaya Namah, Jain Maa kali, et all, which people normally chant, also do not have any impact unless these are given by a Guru?
