Guest guest Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 YAJUR UPAKARMAM 28th AUGUST 2007. ESOTERIC EXPLANATION. We all know that Sun is not only giving us vital energy but also an unifying force. That is why we meditate that Lord's creator's most execellent light 108 times daily. Our intellect inspires He who is supreme. Let us imagine how much thought went before projection of human beings as per Purusha Suktam. The feet are the power of support and movement. This is the main basic structure for doing work. 2. The thighs are the power of acquisition and distribution of product produced by work. 3. The arms are the power of protection and preservation for protection of product. 4. The head is the power of thought and discrimination of product. These are the four categories mentioned in varnasra dharma to be followed to understand the supreme reality. Having born in this world everyone has to live well for 100 years. That is why we do sandhyavandan daily. When we invoke Sun in the morning, we address him as our friend[Mitra] by offering pure cow's ghee, a sign of dedicated sacrifice. Having done this, in the afternoon we get courage and pray to him for longevity for living 100 years. Selfless unifying force for human beings are 8. They are 1. May we have good vison to see for 100 years.2. May we live for 100 years.3.May we rejoice for 100 years 4. May we be joyous for 100 years 5. May we shine with fame for 100 years 6. May we hear pleasant things for 100 years 7. May we speak good things for 100 years and 8. May we not overcome by bad defeat for 100 years. Having done this we have some apprehension about our performance of duty. In the evening we pray to Varuna to save us by not punishing us by our negligence with good health, free from all diseases. We take a stock of our action every year on the Full Moon day by doing sankalpam. Sankalpam is nothing but our inaction in doing our day to day things. We request the supreme to pardon us. WE dedicate ourselves again by removing the thread worn by us on this day therby wearing new thread with chanting holy mantras. White is pure consciousness. Three threads are Structure, Metabolism and intellect. Beyond body, beyond mind and beyond intellect, the ego of an individual is to be blended/moulded to the reality of self. Self is Subtleness Envisaged Luminous Focussed . 108 has a very great significance. 1 is The Ultimate,Supreme 0 is Maya [ Illusion of duality ] 8 is 5 sense organs, mind , intellect and finally EGO. Aryabhata, the ancient Indian knew this. He has brought astronomical knowledge into play in all walks of life, sacred as well as secular, from the construction of the sacrificial altars to town planning. Diameter of Moon is 2160 miles while Diameter of Sun is 864000 miles. Distance from earth to moon is 234000 miles while of sun is 93500000 miles. Ratio in both the cases is 108. Yajnavalkya [1800 BCE ] talks of 108 times the respective diameter as the distance from earth of both the sun and the moon. It is so amazing that there is science behind such routines. OUR INTELLECT IS ONLY A GUIDING FACTOR AND NOT A DECIDING FACTOR UNDERSTANDING THE SUPREME. LET US ALL UNDERSTAND THIS BASIC FACTOR SHEDDING OUR EGO UNITEDLY ON THIS DAY,TUESDAY THE 28TH AUGUST 2007 AND WEAR THIS HOLY THREAD!!!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 You can get the simple version of the ritual at: http://www.ramanuja.org/sv/rituals/upakarma/procedure.html The first guru-parampara part will be different based on whoever the acharyan is for you or your family. If you dont know the appropriate vandana/poem for your guru just think of the guru for the fist part. If you dont have a new thread, you can make it yourself using the procedure outlined in this link, complete with pictorial representations: http://www.salagram.net/Brahmin-threads.html If you live close to a sri vaishnava temple, usually, they have group ceremonies in the morning that day, or they can put you in touch with some one who can help. You can also get an audio file of the ceremony from your usual priest from someone in your family. Genghis , " anoop satyan iyengar " <iyengar26 wrote: > > Dear All, > I am Staying Abroad.
