    Mahalaya,Pitru Paksha Tharpan Explained

    What is Mahalaya, Pitru Pakshs

    The period between New Moon and Full Moon in Simha Maasa (approximately in September)for 15 days is named as Mahalaya Paksha.

    Lunar Calendar of Hindus divides a month with reference to the waxing and waning of the Moon,into two.(for details on Hindu/Indian Calculation of Time’ please read my Blog’TIME-Non-Linear Theory,filed in Astrophysics).

    The waxing period is called Sukla Paksha(Sukla in Sanskrit means White,  here indicates the waxing of the Moon),ending in Full Moon, Pounima, also called Pournamasya.

    The waning period is called Krishna Paksha( Krishna means Black),culminating in New Moon called Amavasya.

    Each Paksha has 14 Days ,one Amavasya and one Pournima makes a Month.

    One is expected to perform the duties due to the Departed daily, that is do Tharppana daily.

    This applies all Castes, Brahmana,Kshatriya ,Vaisya and Sudra.

    We have conveniently omitted to follow the Sastras, by saying that the Srardha and Tharppana  are to be performed only by  Brahmins .

    We also have made it a habit of performing Tharppana only on Amavasya,Beginning of the New Month,Mahalaya ,Aadi ,Grahana( Eclipses)  periods and Srardha Thithi.

    This Behavior is not  sanctioned by The Sastras.

    Of all The Tharppanas ,Mahalaya Tharppana is very Special.

    This period falls in The Dakshinayana-movement of the Sun to Southern Latitudes ,this is for six months.

    This begins from Adi and extends up to Makara Sankaranthi ( January 14)

  • Pitru Paksha Diet

    Pitru Paksha Diet

    Pitru Paksha Diet details

    Those who read my blog posts on Mahalaya would know that I had indicated that there are some dietary restrictions to be followed.

    About a year earlier I posted that the Bhagavad Gita speaks about Food habits in detail and quoted texts with explanations.

    I have tried these Dietary recommendations for the letter since last Mahalaya Paksha.

    While I cannot comment on the spiritual benefits that could have accrued, I can definitely assert that there was an astonishing improvement in my mental state and disposition.

    In fact my wife, daughter and son were surprised that I was cool even under pressure, anger had ceased to exist and I was listening to others patiently without interrupting them, a quality which I am not accustomed to.

    I could feel I remained undisturbed and was in fact was watching things happening around me,even if it involved me, as though I was a spectator.

    There was no hurry in doing things, no anxiety.

    There was no heaviness while waking up in the morning.

    This I could attribute only to the Diet, for there was no significant change in my Lifestyle other than this.

    Why don’t you try”

  • Shiva Stotra With Vishnu’s Dwadasanama

    Shiva Stotra With Vishnu’s Dwadasanama

    Bhagwan Sri MahaVishnu ,in one of His manifestations, is Aditya ,born of Sage Kasyapa.He declares in Srimad Bhagavad Gita ‘ Adityaanam aham Vishnu ‘,I am Vishnu among the Adityas. Adityas are twelve. Surya, the Sun, is the Eldest. In this sense , Surya,Sun, is the Jyeshta,Elder, to Vishnu.It may be noted that Suryanarayana is called the Visible Reality,Prataksha Brahma.

    Therefore many things associated with Vishnu are twelve in Number.For instance, His Moola Mantra is Om Namo Bhagavate Vaasudevaaya, Dwadasanama, Twelve letters,Twelve syllables.

    Similarly, Siva,in the Form of Sri Rudra, is one among the Eleven Rudras. He is called Sankara. ‘ Rudraanam Sankarosmi’- Sri Krishna in Srimad Bhagavad Gita.’Siva Dwadasa Nama Smaranam (remembering the twelve names of Lord Shiva) Translated by P.R.Ramachander (This rare collection of 12 names of Lord Shiva, was sent to me by a reader of http://www.celextel.org . He has taken it from a manuscript written in Telugu. My thanks to him.) Prathamastu Mahadevo DwitEyastu Mahesvaraha Truteeyaha Sankaro gneya Chaturtho Vrushabhadhwajaha Panchamaha KruththiVaasaascha Shashtaha Kamaanga nasanaha Saptamo Deva Devasaha Srikanasch ashtama smruthaha Eswaro navamo gneyo Dasamaha ParvatI patihi Rudra Ekadasaschaiva Dwadasaha Siva Uchyathe First the great Lord, Second the greatest among gods, Third the well known Shankara Fourth, the one who has bull in his flag, Fifth, the one who wears animal hide Sixth, the one who killed the God of love Seventh, the God of devas, Eighth the one with poison neck Ninth the one who is known as Easwara, Tenth the consort of Parvathi, Eleventh, the fearsome Rudra, And twelfth Lord Shiva dwadasaithani naamaani trisandhyam yah pathennaraha Kruthghnaschaiva Goghnascha bramhaga Guruthalpagaha StrI bala ghatakaschiava Suraapo VrushaLi patihi Muchyate Sarva Papebhyo Rudra Lokam Sa gaChathi. The man who reads these twelve names during dawn, noon and dusk, Even if ungrateful or having killed a cow, Even if he has killed Brahmins or teacher, Or it is a lady, child or an achiever, The lord of devas, The lord of the bull, Would get rid of all his sins, And at the end reach the land of Shiva,

    The above transaction is by Sri P.R.Ramchander, an erudite scholar, who has translated nearly all Sanskrit Slokas into English. My Namaskaarams to him.
