Vata Saavithree Pooja

Today is an auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. Good women pray the Almighty for long lives of their husbands and perform Vata Saavithree Pooja on this day. Sometimes, in spite of this pooja, husbands pass away earlier than wives for example King Paandu, demon king Ravan, King Dasarathaa (father of Lord Shree Raam) etc. From whatever little I know from our Sanathana Dharma Scriptures, I gather that any person's present life and the date of departure of his/her soul from the body is predetermined by Lord Brahma, who performs his task on Shree Mahaa Vishnu's order and that the person's life span depends upon his/her karmaas done during his/her past seven lifes. 

Hari Sarvoththamaa🙏

Vaayu jeevoththamaa🙏.

Divine Song

After several days, I derived the joy of listening to Sundara Kaanda Paaraayanam in Telugu by an eminent and highly charismatic spiritual performer on Hindu Dharmam TV Channel as shown in the following photo this evening:

The program acted like a good medicine to my heavy heart and mind that are overwhelmed by my beloved brother's demise nearly 5 months ago.

I came to know about his programs and those of many others by seeing my beloved mother who used to listen such programs with great devotion. I fondly remember my beloved parents shown in the following photo:

Jai Shree Raam🙏.

Maadhwaa Saint

Tomorrow is a very auspicious day to Shree Mahaa Vishnu devotees in Maadhwaa community of Brahmins. 

Maadhwaa people worship Shree Lakshmi Naaraayanaa seated in the heart of Shree Mukhya Praana who is seated in the heart of Shree Satyabhivana Theertha, a Maadhwaa Saint who headed our Uttaradi Mutt for some time. I think that tomorrow is the anniversary of the day on which this saint attained the lotus feet of Lord Shree Krishna.

Tomorrow is very auspicious as the anniversary of the day on which Sreepaada Raayaru attained the lotus feet of Lord Shree Krishna. 

Jai Shree Lakshmi Naaraayanaa🙏.

Saints' significance

Today our media is full of news items about perverted Governments in USA, Canada, West Germany and many countries. We are also surrounded by terrorism, wars etc. Even statemen such as Bill Clinton who was instrumental in putting an end to Israel PLO war when Yasser Arafat was PLO leader is unable to solve Israel Arab conflict today.

At the national level, we see how criminals get away without being punished in states like Tamilnadu.

This morning I had the joy of viewing Shree Raam Kathaa discourse by Shree Chinmayanand Bapujee on Aashthaa Bhajan TV Channel. He was mentioning how inportant the presence of saints in any community. Today saints are not given even one thousandth of respect given to evil politician rascals. It is a very bad trend and the community does nothing to prevent our children being exposed to all these negative aspects. Our schools and colleges too seem very insenstive to pupil needs.

Shree Chinmayanand Bapujee explained the Varnaashram Concept. This concept is wrongly perceived by anti-Brahmin minded people. 

Jai Shree Krishnaa🙏.

Shree Mahaa Vishnu Fest

Today is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. Vishnu devotess worship Shree Mahaa Lakshmi, Friday's deity and Shree Mahaa Vishnu, the Supreme God worshipping whom on Ekaadashi is highly spiritual.

Jai Shree Lakshmi Naaraayanaa🙏.

Bhaageerathi Jayanthi

Today is an auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. It is celebrated as Bhaageerathi Jayanthi.

Hari sarvoththamaa🙏.

Vaayu jeevotgthamaa🙏.

Shree Mahaa Vishnu determines every thing

Medical and health literature consistently cautions that many diseases including dementia, Alzheimer's disease, cancer etc. are due to lack of active life style. 

Mrs Margaret Thatcher, former British Prime Minister and Mr Ronald Reagan, former US President led a very active life. They suffered from dementia and Alzheimer's disease respectively. Mrs Teji Bachan, mother of Shree Amitabh Bachan, legendary veteran film actor had dementia. She was known to be an active home maker supporting Shree Harivansh Rai Bachan, her poet husband. More recently, British King Charles and former US President Joe Biden got cancer diagnosis. Both these have led active lives.

At a closer level, my beloved brother led a very active life style. Still he passed away at the age of 66. He was 7 years younger than me.

WAccording to Sanathan Dharma Scriptures, when Lord Brahma creates each living thing on Shree Mahaa Vishnu's order, he fixes the creature's date and time of departure then itself.

A few days ago, I heard in a Sanaathana Dharmaa divine discourse that birth and life of each human being depends upon his/her karma done in the past seven lives.

It seems that every thing happens due to God's Will.

Jai Shree Lakshmi Naaraayanaa🙏.

First week in school

K-12 Schools in Tamilnadu reopened today after summer holidays. Let me share a related article that I wrote many years ago here. It may be useful to parents, teachers and school managements.

Back to school

In Tamilnadu, all primary, high and higher secondary schools will reopen tomorrow after summer holidays.

Best wishes to all students and teachers.

Krishnam Vande Jagad Gurum🙏.

(Krishnaa is the world's Teacher)🙏.

Jai Shree Krishnaa 🙏.

Divine discourse

Today is a very auspicious day to people belonging to Maadhwaa community. It is the day on which Shree Mohana Daasa Theertharu, a Maadhwaa saint attained the lotus feet of Lord Shree Krishna. I tried to give a link to any detailed information on this saint, but couldn't find any.

It was spritually very enlightening to listen to Sreemad Bhaagavad Kathaa by respected Bhaishree Oza on Aashthaa TV Channel. He gave his discourse from Crawley, UK.

Bhaishree is very fluent in many languages including Hindi, English and Gujaraathi. In his discourse he explained the difference between soul and body.

Jai Shree Krishnaa🙏.
