My dear friends and like minded persons

 

MAHAA KAAL

From tomorrow the Mahaalaya Paksh starts which is also called as

Pithru Paksh, this letter is in that respect.

 

I have one interesting subject in this mail. A few years ago, most

of you might still remember, I wrote a letter to you all about Mahaa

Kaal of Ujjain wherein I specifically mentioned that in spite of any

one taking birth in Ujjain and living there for a life time, say, 70

years or so, it is not possible for any one to realize and

understand what Ujjain is. It is such a sacred place in the name of

Avantika of yester years. One may have to recollect Bhoj Mahaaraj,

or Vikramaaditya Chakravarthy, or Mahaa Kavi Kaalidaas, or Raaja

Bhartruhari and ………….

 

Today I am not referring all this, but then, I exclaim as how all of

us forget MAHAA KAAL or the God of Death. Every living being

descending from elsewhere and taking the physical shape of a

birth, is under the total control of Mahaa Kaal. No exception

whatsoever for any one, even an incarnation of Lord or the Lord

himself taking birth on this Globe. The stop clock starts running

for any one irrespective of an individual's greatness or divinity.

Every one is under the control of Mahaa Kaal and he is the filter

point either to allow us to fly up and up to the upper spheres

leading to Moksha or turning down to the black hole to turn back as

a living being on the earth.

 

We do worship for all our pleasures or comforts or whatever it is,

the Navagrahaas, the Lords in the name of creator or else, or some

such in any religion, region or whatever it is. Most interestingly

we presume and worship certain Gods, but comfortably forget what a

certainty is – Certainty is nothing but MAHAA KAAL. All games in

the name of caste, creed, religion, region, race …what not, all come

to an end at Mahaa Kaal. There is no possibility, absolutely no

possibility, of escaping the attention of Mahaa Kaal. Some enjoy a

Great Raja Yoga at the end by simply leaving the physical body; some

struggle; some suffer; some take prolonged time when the kith and

kin express their eagerness to perform the final rituals; and many

such dramas. I have not come across any one worshipping the Lord of

Death - while I have seen many preferring not to utter the name of

the Lord of Death and try to conceal themselves without being

noticed by Mahaa Kaal. We fear to utter the name of Lord of Death;

we conceal ourselves; we pretend as if we do not what the Lord of

Death is; what ever it is – a total certainty is that, the Lord of

Death is carefully watching us whether we call him as Lord Yama or

something else.

 

My intention in writing this letter, is to make it clear that HE IS

WATCHING AND COUNTING THE TIME MORE ACCURATELY THAN US, and

therefore, if possible or let us make it possible to worship HIM and

pray HIM to grant us a peaceful end so that the so called near and

dear do not curse us while we remain in bed with a prolonged

sickness; or we lead a miserable life with physical and material

sufferings. We may miss a Mahaa Raj Yog, but let us not miss the

Ultimate Raajaadhiraj Yog.

 

According to the Vedic order of life, there is a simple way or

worshiping the Lord of death by treating HIM as an unusual Lord and

offering TARPANAAS. It is a very simple procedure and years ago I

made a mention of this in my book. To repeat the same, it is like a

DEVA TARPAN and to be offered duly mentioning the name of the Lord

and releasing a little water from the right hand four fore fingers

fourteen times for fourteen Lords. The Lords are specified in the

text named as YAMA TARPAN. According to the original text these

tarpanaas are to be offered on any dark fourteenth day of the month

more particularly on the dark fourteen day of Aswayuj Maas popularly

known as Naraka Chaturdasi, just a day before Diwali. But, when I

discussed with my Guruji, he specified that this tarpan can be given

an every day as that of Dev Tarpan and hence the procedure is

detailed hereunder. My Guruji also made it clear that there is no

necessity of using Sesame Seeds – Til for this purpose. It is 1)

Yamam Tarpayaami, 2) Dharma Raajam Tarpayaami, 3) Mrutyum

Tarpayaami, 4) Antakam Tarpayaami, 5) Vaivaswatham Tarpayaami, 6)

Kaalam Tarpayaami, 7) Sarwa Bhoota Kshayam Tarpayaami, 8) Audumbaram

Tarpayaami, 9)Tadadhnam Tarpayaami, 10) Neelam Tarpayaami, 11)

Parameshtinam Tarpayaami, 12) Vrukodaram Tarpayaami, 13) Chitram

Tarpayaami, 14) Chitraguptam Tarpayaami. These fourteen Tarpanaas

at the best take two or three minutes when once one practices this.

 

By doing this, we cultivate a habit of knowing that the ultimate is

watching, AS SUCH we will be completing the tasks expected of us ON

TIME. We get a reminder that MAHAA KAAL is in front of us and hence

we RESPECT THE KAAL – THE TIME ELEMENT which is specific and CLEARLY

SET FOR EACH LIFE.

 

Nothing is greater than MAHAA KAAL and no one can comfortably escape

HIS attention. It is therefore MAHAA KAAL, the GREAT. My small

brain could not imagine the whole form of MAHAA KAAL but then, I

could put down the form of the Lord of Time into a few line

definition – the one which we can not see, the one which we can see;

the one which we can not experience, the one which we can

experience; the shortest and the lengthiest; the end and the

beginning…………………………………….beyond this I have no words, and I remain

incapable.

May MAHAA KAAL grant us all PURPOSEFUL AND EVENTFUL SPAN OF LIFE and

a Comfortable FINISHING TOUCH.

All the best.

Yours affectionately
