The sixtieth birthday celebrations is known as Shashti Abdha Poorthy , the 80th birthday celebrations is SathAbhishEkam and the 100th birthday uthsavam is SathamAna Uthsavam . Many of our VaishNavite AchAryAs have observed their 100th birthday and attained the Veda PrAyam. Vedic prayer recited by us during the worship of the SandhyAs is : May we live for Hundred years practising the dharmAs ordained by the VedAs ! Swamy Desikan lived for 101 years. AchArya RaamAnujA lived for 120 years . They lived simple but noble lives dedicated to serving the Lord and his BhaagavathAs. Modern day conspicous consumption and consequent shortening of life was not known to them . They recommended the consumption of Saathvik food and days defined by PanchakAla PrakriyAs . In this posting , we will focus on the glories of those who celebrate SathAbhishEkams . They are revered as " Sahasra Darsees " or those who have seen 1000 crescent Moons ( Third crescent of the growing phase of the Moon ). Actually , it will take 83 years and six months to see 1000 crescents. The celebration however starts as one enters the 80th year thse days. Chathur Veda PaarAyaNam , the recitation of Dhivya Prabhandham , RaamAyaNa Patanam are conducted in the celebrant's house. An elaborate Udhaka ShAnthi is organized to consecrate the water , which is used for the abhishEkam of the celebrant on the auspicious 80th birthday . Bhagavan Himself is in a celebratory mood about these Sahasra Darsees as one member of the blessed group of Six : NithyAnna DhAthA TaruNAgnihOthri VedAntha Vidhu: Chandra Sahasra darsee MaasOpavAsi cha PathivrathA cha ShaD jeevalOkE mama vandhaneeyAm (Meaning): These six in this world are saluted by Me : (1) Those whom provide anna dhAnam every day (2) Those who perform the sacred rites of AgnihOthram right from their youthful days (3) Those who have seen the 1000 cresent Moons (4) Those who observe the EkAdasi Fastings (5) Women resplendent with the power of their chastity and (6) those who have understood the true meanings of the Upanishads. The anna dhAnam is performed every day at Lord RanganAth Temple at Pomona , NY. During Saturday and Sunday and uthsavam days , hudreds of worshippers with their families are given free prasAdhams in the form of annadhAnams . EkAdasi Fastings are observed by some of the devotees. Veda GOsham and Dhivya Prabhandha dhwani is heard every day at the temple. Sudarsana Yaj~nams are conducted . Sathya NaarAyaNa pooja is done in the VaishNavite way every full Moon day . The SrinivAsa or Seetha-Raama KalyANams are performed every weekend . All of these are made possible with the help of our priests steeped in Ubhaya Vedams , PaancharAthra Aagamam and Vaidhika anushtAnams . Please help them have a roof over their heads instead of lodging in the basement of the Temple ! Please support this Kaimkaryam YathA Sakthi !
