Guest guest Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 SrI: Dear Sri SrinivAsa: Oct 16 is the right one for celebrating Naraka Chaturdhasi SnAnam ( early morning) and celebrate DheepAvaLi on Oct 16. Oct 17 is AmAvasyai & Thulaa Ravi.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Dear All : attached herewith is a four page article form Sri Nrisimha PriyA journal( August 2009) and at the end it is recommended that all of us follow the Nov dates(14/15) for DeepAvaLi this year instead of October 16/17 , 2009 . This year is a special year , where Sri Matam has assessed that Tula ( Iyppasi) Aasvayujam is the date for observing DeepAvaLi naraka chathurdaSi snAnam instead of Purattasi AaSvayujam ( October 16/17). 1963 was another year such a situation happened before and possibly once more in the Eighties . Please refer to the Sri Nrismha PriyA DVD containing all articles from the years 1945-2005 ( PANCHaNGAM SECTION). It is possible that other AchAryAs /PanchAngam Creators might have decided in Favor of the above October date for celebrating deepAvaLi FOLLOWING OTHER COMPUTATIONS/DETERMINATIONS . Sri Matam SishyAs are requested however to observe November 14/15 as the DeepAvaLi snAnam/PaNdikai dates .Please check with your own AchAyAs on the dates that they recommend among the two sets . Iyppasi Month KrishNa Chathurdasi snAnam destroys narakam for those who seek Moksham ( Mumukshu) and is therefore called Naraka (vimOchana) chathurdaSi snAnam . This is the day , when Lord KrishNa destroyed NarakAsuran and the asuran sought the boon form the Lord during his last moments that his day of death be celebrated as a PaNDikai dinam and our Lord granted him that boon.This snAnam should be done only on ChathurdaSi day and not on TrayOdasi or AmAvAsyai day . On the evening of DheepAvaLi day , rows of lamps ( Dheepa AavaLi) are lit in Bhagavath sanidhAnam according to Saastrams . DheepAvaLi is not to be observed on SrAddham days , theetu days . SannidhAnam . PramANams from Ahnika Grantams are quoted in the above four pages. NamO SrI NrisimhAya, V.Sadagopan 4 of 4 Photo(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
