Guest guest Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Dear All, Tomorrow 22nd Feb , is Ramakrishna's date of birth (as opposed to birthday which is calculated in the Indian calendar based on the lunar date/month). For those that would like to do a puja for Sri Ramakrishna, here is a q&a lifted from http://www.shreemaa.org/faq.htm ========================= Question : I would really like to focus my worship on Ramakrishna, do you have any suggestions? Swamiji's response : Perform the Beginner's Shiva Puja , and then substitute " Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Ramakrishnaya namah " for " Om Namah Shivaya " ========================== Also Ramakrishna loved jalebis (an Indian sweet) and eggplant. If you are able to , make an offering of either or both of these items to him in your puja. Jai Ramakrishna Nanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Nanda, Thank you for telling us this. It's felt like Valentine's Day all day today! On Friday I received the copy of _Selections from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna_ that I'd ordered on 2/11. Cosmic timing! I started reading the book today. , "Nanda" <chandimaakijai> wrote: > > [....] 22nd Feb , is Ramakrishna's date of birth (as opposed to > birthday which is calculated in the Indian calendar based on the > lunar date/month).

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Dear Jana and all, I might have made a doo-doo here. I think Ramakrishna's birthday falls on another date. I have this as a question to Swamiji, so sit tight all y'all and I will post on it soon. But as you said, it was a wonderful feeling for you and for a few other folks - and I am glad all of us had a good time < sheepish grin > Happy Birthday anyway Ramakrishna !

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Well, if we're lucky, maybe we'll all get to celebrate again ;-) (Doesn't that sweet picture on the e-group homepage look like a Valentine to you?) , "Nanda" <chandimaakijai> wrote: > > I might have made a doo-doo here.
