COMBINATION OF BRAHMANDAM / COSMIC WORLD

Brahmandam or Universe consists of Trigunas (3 qualities) and its derivaties. The starting point is Pranavam followed by Ahamkaram which is the sound of Brahman then all Gunas:

Lets learn, Triangle Philosophy:

1) Though the Three Gunas are basically different and enimical in nature, they always intereact and work together.

2) The Three Gunas can never be identified as Pure Satva, or Pure Rajas or Pure Thamas.

3) At times one Guna may be responsible for the creation of another Guna.

PREFACE

Blessed indeed are the fortunate few of us – children of the Divine Mother, Goddess Sri Lalitambika – for we have had the rare opportunity of chanting / reciting the sacred Lalita Sahasranama (the thousand sacred names of the Goddess) or at least listening to it even once.
When a child calls its mother endearingly and utters the word ‘AMMA’, a joy lights up their faces at once. So too is the case when we address a prayer to the Goddess Lalita; She is not only the Mother of all mothers, but also the Mother of the entire Universe, the Eternal Mother, the Mother Supreme, who is capable of bestowing any amount of merit on her devotees. Naturally, with all our heart, that too with a child-like innocence. She fulfils all our desires and aspirations, grants Peace and contentment immediately, and also bestows on us health, wealth, name and fame, happiness and courage. To those who aspire for higher things, She endows them with unalloyed devotion, and detachment, leading to enlightenment and the pinnacle of supreme knowledge – SRI VIDYA. In short, She takes care of our welfare not only in this world/life, but in the life beyond as well.

Goddess Lalitambika can be and ought to be worshipped by one and all. Caste, creed, nationality, age (or Asrama as the case may be) are no bar to Her worship. It is preferable to conduct the worship in groups, as such worship is more fruitful and the benefits are larger. To win Her heart and remain Her dear child, one must regularly recite the Sahasranama or at least listen to its chanting because it contains not only Her story, but also extols Her powers as well as Glories. One might also worship Her with flowers, pay obeisance to Her having installed Her in one’s heart and constantly remember Her during the course of the day, thus developing the close relationship of mother and child, and finally surrender oneself totally at Her lotus feet.
In days of yore, a student of the Gurukula system, would study the Vedas and Sastras at the feet of his Guru, and when the time came for him to take leave of his Guru and return home, it is said that the Guru, pleased with his student not only blessed him with words, but also used to present him as a precious gift a copy of the sacred text, Lalita Sahasranama. For, the Lalita Sahasranama is considered as the source of all knowledge contained in the four Vedas, 1,008 and odd Upanishads, all the Sastras and the 36 Puranas, being the Bija Grantha of the Primordial Sakthi.

Whatever be the knowledge we gain and whatever be the subjects we master, real fulfillment in life cannot be had without cultivating devotion to the Supreme Mother. Whatever we find happening in the World now and whatever might happen in the future, know that all this has been sanctioned and willed by the Supreme Mother. So let us not allow ourselves to be swayed by whatever we see happening in the world outside. A true devotee of the Mother ought to lead his life in simple contentment, surrendering to Her Will and in
Her constant remembrance. Out of the ten Sahasranamas, Lalita Sahasranama takes the primary place. The greatness and glory of this sacred Stotra is so vast and extensive, it is said even Lord Siva cannot describe it adequately:

So one should feel happy about whatever little one knows about Her, or what one has read or heard about Her (however meagre it may be), and surrender absolutely at the lotus feet of that Goddess Rajarajeswari (fabled to reside in the island of Manidweepa), repeating the Mantra:

“YA DEVI SARVABHOOTESHU JNANA ROOPENA SAMSTHITHA
NAMASTASYAI NAMASTASYAI NAMASTASYAI NAMO NAMAH”

and wash Her sacred feet with one’s tears of devotion as this alone can be of enduring value to us.

STORY OF THE ORIGIN OF LALITA SAHASRANAMA
Obeying the command of Sri Devi, the Celestial Muses led by Vasini are said to have composed, in Her raise, the thousand sacred names in a manner meant to please the Goddess.
One day in the august assembly – BRAHMAANDA SADAS – the innumerable Brahmas And the whole host of Devas had assembled in the presence of the Supreme Goddess; then taking a hint from the Supreme Goddess, these Celestial beings led by Vasini recited this text in a tone loud and clear and the whole assembly was awestruck with wonder. From then on, all these Gods and Devas started reciting the Sahasranama regularly for Her appeasement. It is significant that this most sacred text is deemed worthy of daily recitation even by celestial Gods who in themselves are vested with powers to bless or curse.

This gem of a Stotra woven around the story of Goddess Lalita appears in the latter part (Uttara Khanda) of Brahmanda Purana. Once Sri Hayagriva (an avatar of Lord Mahavishnu) initiated Agastya Maharshi (also known as Kumbhaja) into this secret lore, after putting him to test and being satisfied about his competency. Later Agastya Maharshi gave it out to Suta Maharshi from whom it was received by the Maharshis at Naimisaranya; thus being passed on from generation to generation through this Rishi Parampara, it has now reached us. Thus we are recipients of the rate opportunity of reciting this wonderful Stotra.
ALL IS BHAHMAN, YET WHATEVER IS PERCEIVED IS NOT BRAHMAN – This Brahma Tatwa alone is elaborated in the whole of Lalita Sahasranama in the dual mode of Vidya-Avidya, i.e. Higher knowledge (of the Self) and Lower knowledge (of the manifested world).

Sir Lalita Sahasranama is a gem of a Stotra containing 365 lines in 14 chapters. The Divine Mother exhorts us to strive and realize Her true nature through any one of the paths enunciated in the 14 chapters. The 365 lines in the Sahasranama can be compared to the 365 days comprising a full year; so also the Mantras, their power, potency and glory seek to invest a wholesomeness to the realization of the Self.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE DESCENT (AVATAR) OF THE DIVINE MOTHER
Goddess Lalita’s emergence here on earth is in the role of the Universal Mother. Goddess Lalita Parameswari stationed in the legendary Milky Ocean encircling the outermost Galaxy far beyond human sight condescends, in response to the sincere appeals/prayers of Her devotees, to grant Her rare darsan and shows the way to end sorrow. This is the subject matter dealt here. At the same time, to wean Her devotees away from the fleeting pleasures of this world, She reveals to them Her motherly compassionate nature. Her extraordinary loveliness, the flawless beauty of Her form and Her bewitching smile are so enchanting that the devotees are lost in wonder. Seekers of the Godhead with form will find the Divine Mother’s alluring form described herein best suited for contemplation.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE SACRED CITY

After annihilating the tyrant Asuras, the Divine Mother proclaims where She is going to reside. In an esoteric sense, this signifies that She herself would root out the evil propensities in the devotee’s mind, annul completely his accumulated sins, then dwell in the temple of his own purified heart.

3. DESCRIPTION OF THE KILLING OF BHANDASURA
However powerful may be the adversary of a true devotee of the Mother, She gives Her assurance She would drive him out and destroy him. And, if necessary, She would enlist the help of all the deities and gods in the universe to fight the enemy and finally vanquish him. Thus She proclaims Her supremacy over all the gods and deities and asserts She is worthy of being worshipped by all – from an ant to the Creator, Brahma himself.

4. DESCRIPTION OF MANTRAS / THEIR FORMS
This chapter describes and declares emphatically that all Mantras, Tantras and Yantras and their forms and powers are in fact identical with Her and not separate from Her.

5. DESCRIPTION OF THE FORM OF KUNDALINIThis chapter describes the process of the ascent of the Kundalini Sakti towards the summit and the Supreme Bliss that ensues when the ascending Sakti meets Siva and the union is consummated. The process is described thus. This inherent Power normally lies dormant at the base – Mooladhara Chakra, and is stated to resemble the fine fibre of a lotus stalk, to be as brilliant as lightning and to be a ray of the Sun; it is roused and made to ascend; then piercing the six intermediate Chakras, this Sakti (which is none other than Sri Devi) enters the Sahasrara Chakra at the crown of the head and joins Her mate, Siva. Through the practice of Kundalini Yoga, when the sleeping serpent power is roused and made to ascend higher and higher piercing the six Chakras and finally reach the Sahasrara Chakra, one can easily overcome and rout out the six enemies – kama, krodha, lobha, moha, mada and matsarya (lust, anger, greed, delusion, jealousy, intolerance, etc.) and ultimately free oneself from the worldly attachments. One can then perceive the entire Cosmos in oneself. To those who have little faith in (or do not set much store by) external worship of God with form, they have been shown the alternative path of getting initiated into Kundalini Yoga by a competent Guru, then through the rigorous practice thereof, realize one’s own Self and also gain the knowledge of Parasakti.

6. DESCRIPTION OF DEVI’S BLESSING THE DEVOTEEThis chapter shows how the Divine Mother blesses Her devotees always - and in all ways – and devotion alone is enough to gain Her blessings.


7. DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK OF THE ONE ABSOLUTE BEYOND QUALITIES

EVERYTHING IS IN ME, STILL I AM NOT IN THEM - This transcendental aspect or ‘I’ the Atman is one with that Parasakti who/which is all-pervading, undifferentiated, beyond name, form and quality, yet all-inclusive and omnipresent – this is the theme expounded here. This chapter gives primacy to contemplation and meditation on the Formless, Qualityless Parabrahman (Transcendent Absolute).

8. DESCRIPTION OF WORSHIP OF THE GODHEAD WITH FORM

All forms are pervaded by Her alone; the one Brahman - the Primordial Sakti, for the purpose of creation-sustenance-withdrawal, takes on the forms of countless Avatars out of its own volition. So the Divine Mother sanctions Her worship through the medium of any form or deity.

9. DESCRIPTION OF THE FIVE-FOLD BRAHMAN

The Imperial Devi proclaims: I am sitting on a couch built by the five-fold Brahman, i.e. Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Ishwara and Sadasiva. I am Parabrahma as well as Paramatma. I am the supporter and sustainer of this universe. I myself am the five-fold Brahman (mentioned above); I am the five-fold powers, the five elements, the five Great Elements, (in their original and pure form) the five sense organs, the five sheaths, the five vital airs; I execute the five-fold activities of creation, sustenance, destruction, casting in bondage, and granting release; seated in the heart of all such forms, I rule this world. I am the Transcendental Brahman and at the same time I alone pervade all these perceived forms. These are the contents of this chapter.

10. DESCRIPTION OF THE FIELD AND KNOWER OF THE FIELD
In this chapter, Devi declares to the devotee that his own body is to be treated as a temple, and that the soul residing therein is (a part of) Her only; just as a temple outside is built of brick and mortar and an idol installed therein which is then consecrated by the officiating priest through the power of Mantras, so are the numerous physical bodies created by Her inherent power and then it is She alone (the compassionate Parasakti) who enters these diverse bodies thus enlivening them, appearing as apparently bound souls. So She exhorts the devotee to realize this Truth - that he, the Jivatma (the bound soul) is in reality none other than the Paramatman or Brahman.


11. DESCRIPTION OF THE SEATS/THRONES AND ANGA DEVATAS
This chapter expounds that it is She who sits on the high thrones; that She is the Supreme Sovereign, that She pervades all the worlds - higher and lower; that She is worthy of being worshipped by all the Gods, Goddesses and Deities, all Faiths, all Varnas, (Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaisya and Soodra) and creeds and that She is invested with infinite powers.

12. DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTALLATION OF YOGINI
Describes how She shines in the various limbs of living beings under different names; how She permeates the Seven Dhatus (humours) which form the main constituent in the gross bodies of all beings. And avers that 'as long as my presence is there in your body, so long also will be your capacity to function - not a moment longer!

13. DESCRIPTION OF HER GLORIES, VIBHOOTIS AND THE HARMONISATION OF DIFFERING PATHS

Describes Her sporting pastimes and connected fruits / results thereof, and Her different manifestations at different levels - from that of Parasakti to that of Yogini; how She protects, chastises, strengthens/nourishes and finally liberates Her devotees by showing them the right type of sadhana (to suit their differing temperaments and aptitudes) to gain the five types of liberation, i.e. Salokya (Living in His sphere), Sameepya (Living close/near to Him), Saroopya (Having a similar form), Sayujya (Being one with Him), and Kaivalya (complete mergence with no separate identity).

14. DESCRIPTION OF DEVI'S FORM - SIVA & SAKTI (STATIC & DYNAMIC ASPECTS) MERGED IN ONE

This chapter proclaims that all the manifested universes - Brahmandas - are the result of Siva-Sakti Yoga (coming together or fusion of the twin aspects/powers - static and dynamic). Devi proclaims there is none superior or even equal to Her anywhere in the universe, She being the embodiment of both Sadasiva and Parasakti.
Even while engaged in acquiring wealth, husband and wife together should worship Devi with single-minded devotion without ever forsaking righteousness, meeting difficulties with forbearance with the end of attaining liberation. Once you develop abiding devotion of Parasakti, seated right in the centre of Sri Chakra, you will have Bliss and Bliss alone, and freedom from the cycle of birth and death is certain.

METHODS OF/RULES TO BE FOLLOWED IN RECITING LALITA SAHASRANAMA
Lalita Sahasranama may be chanted/recited at any time; however, when one has the fulfilment of a definite objective in view, it is necessary to follow certain rules:

First, take a bath choosing one of the three sandhyas, i.e. Dawn, Noon or Dusk; wear clean clothes, apply vibhooti or kumkum on the forehead (between the eye-brows); light a lamp at the altar of the Goddess; perform the daily prayers traditionally enjoined on each one; sit in front of the lamp, pay obeisance to one's parents (who are to be treated God-like), next one's ancestors, then the family deity, then one's own chosen deity, in that order; pay respect to the holy text of Lalita Sahasranama (by touching it to one's forehead) with concentrated mind, contemplating the Divine Mother - only then is the text to be recited. Those who do not have a separate pooja room (or cannot afford to have one), may draw an imaginary triangle inside a circle in the empty space before oneself, and offering Her a seat therein, commence the recital.

Those who have not been initiated into a Nyasa-kriyas, may recite the Dhyana Slokas, imagining Her as seated in the lotus of one's heart, with earth as sandal mark on Her forehead, clouds in the sky as flower offerings, air as Dhoopa (incense sticks), fire as a lighted lamp, pure and simple water as food offering. Worship should be performed mentally in this manner. Next those who have received initiation from a Guru into a Mantra, should recite that Mantra as many times as possible; others may recite "AUM PARASAKTHYAI NAMAH" 108 times and then commence the recital. Lalita Sahasranama may be chanted mentally, or with the movement of the lips - but inaudibly, or loudly. However, in chanting loudly, the vibratory power of such chanting has the potency to purify the atmosphere around and it is said even homeless spirits/souls wandering about without succor may get redeemed, and even sinners turned to virtuous souls.

With reciting Lalita Sahasranama, if one also contemplates on the meaning of each Mantra, the benefits accruing therefrom might be a thousand-fold it is said. All those who recite this Stotra should reap the maximum benefit - this is my earnest prayer. I am extremely happy that, by the Grace of the Divine Mother, I have been able to place before you and for the welfare of all of you, this priceless Gem of a Stotra together with the meaning of the Mantras. I also wish to express my gratitude to those authors and advisors who helped me in gaining this knowledge and also to the Divine Mother herself.

AUSPICIOUS CONCLUSION AND DEDICATION
Sri Lalita Parameswari, being the Formless Qualityless Brahman, All-Pervading, Eternal, the Supreme Self and the Primordial Power, it is simply not possible to describe exhaustively Her greatness/glory in mere words. It is She Herself who creates new meanings and interpretations for each and every Mantra. So, one may go on expounding the subject, yet there are bound to be unexplored areas left out.

This brief audio cassette has been specially prepared keeping in view the limitation of space on the one hand, and ease in remembering on the other.

Sri Devi has deigned to bestow the knowledge of the non-dual Brahman on this servitor of hers and I have attempted to give an exposition thereof for the benefit of Society with utmost faith and devotion, imbibing myself the nectarine devotion. Should any of you notice any error or shortcoming in my work, I crave your indulgence and forgiveness and appeal to you to give primacy to the underlying ideas and principles and spare no effort in pleasing and propitiating the Divine Mother.

I owe this effort to the merits probably earned over several births; to the blessing of my own parents, preceptors and encouraging friends; and above all to the abundant Grace showered on me by the Divine Mother Herself. So I now dedicate this Yagna Prasada at the Sacred Feet of the Divine Mother. At the same time, I offer to you all my salutations as well as those of my dedicated colleagues.

Devotees should listen attentively to the meaning of the Dhyana Mantras given below and endeavour to imbibe the same and become blessed souls. It is not necessary that one should listen to this (audio) exposition at one stretch; one may listen to at least two lines during the course of the day when time permits, and strive to assimilate the meaning. On special occasions, it is advisable and most desirable to gather together and listen like the Rishis and Munis of yore did in Naimisaranya. In this way, one not only earns the merit, but also develops sympathy and compassion for others, and also helps in the awareness of Oneness.

Finally, I pray to the Divine Mother to shower Her blessings on all of us.

Aum Tat Sat.

== Subham ===============================

HINTS ON character reading FROM THE FOREHEAD

Note: You have to be very careful while choosing the right line or mount or patch.

There are places assigned to the Planets on the face also just as on the Palm. For instance

1. The line of Saturn is the line which is just below the hair and on the forehead.
2. The line of Jupiter is the line below that of Saturn.
3. The line of Mars is the line below that of Jupiter.
4. The line of Apollo (Sun) is the line over the right eye-brow.
5. The line of Luna (Moon) is the line above the left eye-brow.
6. The place of Venus is the space between the two eye-brows.
7. The place of Mercury is the space at the middle of the nose.

Readings

1. A distinct Saturn line on the forehead indicates discretionary powers, whereas a broken or crooked line means a peevish nature.
2. A distinct Jupiter line means uprightness, whereas a broken or crooked line signifies wanton habits.
3. A distinct Mars line indicates a martial spirit and fame in the field, whereas a broken or crooked line threatens failure in the field.
4. A distinct Apollo line indicates discreetness and general success, whereas a broken or crooked line indicates miserly tendencies.
5. A distinct Luna line indicates powers of imagination and a fondness for travel, whereas a broken or crooked line renders the subject weak in intellect.
6. A distinct, Venus line indicates a mild disposition and a happy conjugality, whereas a broken or crooked Venus line signifies insincerity in love.
7. A few Mercury lines when distinct, indicate powers of eloquence, whereas too many lines thereon indicate garrulity and insincerity on the part of the subject.

A broad forehead with high temples signifies diligence in studies and an acuteness of understanding. If it is not broad, it signifies a weakness of intellect and more so, when the forehead does not wrinkle.

EYES

· Eyes far part from each other indicate candour and truthfulness of the subject.
· Eyes too far distant from each other show stupidity of nature.
· If eyes are set very close to each other, it indicates cunning and deceit.
· Eye-brows very close to the eyes show powers of painting and calculation.
· Long eye-brows indicate acuteness of intellect.
· Thick eye-brows joined together indicate fortune and chastity of character.
· Should the space between the two eye-brows be large, it indicates energy, simplicity and generosity, but a restless nature on the part of the subject.

THE NOSE (Key Notes)

1. Noses that are arched from the root show that the subject has resoluteness of purpose.
2. A long nose, if it inclines upwards at the tip, indicates that the subject is very thoughtful and inquisitive.
3. If it droops downwards at the tip, it shows that the subject would be very witty.
4. It it is short and snub, it indicates self-confidence on the part of the subject.

THE LIPS

Lips are mirrors of the passions and appetites of the human heart.

1. The upper lip, if arched, signifies a good disposition.
2. The upper lip, if thick, indicates an unrefined character.
3. The upper lip, if thin, shows idleness and sensuality.
4. Well-closed lips signify that the subject is reserved in nature and thinks twice but speaks once, whereas open lips show that the subject is inquisitive.
5. The nether lip, if thick, indicates acute power in regard to taste on the part of the subject.

THE EARS

1. Long ears indicate a quarrelsome disposition.
2. Large ears indicate nobleness on the part of the subject.
3. Small ears denote selfishness on the part of the subject.
4. Coarse ears signify a general ignorance on the part of the subject.

THE MOLES

· A mole just above the left eye-brow indicates troubles from one of the opposite sex.
· The presence of a mole in the right eye (nose side) shows great intellectual powers on the part of the subject.
· The presence of a mole in the outside corner of the right eye of a woman signifies a rich marriage.
· If the mole is found in the left eye of a woman -
· inner corner - a great deal of trouble in her younger days, and
· outer corner - threatens drowning or fall from a height.
It also renders her character open to criticism.
In case of a Male, he would always ill-treat his wife, not caring for her life even.

SUCHITHWAM & ASUCHITHWAM - Purity & Impurity

By Author: R.V.Venkiteswaran, Dubai : 20-11-1998

Preface

I am glad to share with you some of the insight realities of our customs. We don’t need to shy away from our customs, which was created by our ancients for our own good. Customs are never old nor new; as the time getting older and older (approaching peak Kali Yuga) people are not interested in following the same. Even after following all these critical and complicated issues ancient people are not failed in achieving what they want in life, whereas today our life is full of confusion and complication. All our spiritual philosophy said that whether we create or maintain closeness with the ‘Brahman’ or not; ‘Brahman’ is already in association with us. Basically, the Soul is a resident of our mortal body. Do you know the Soul carry the body not viz-versa. Why I say these points in this juncture is that every soul when it enters or depart from a human body as its routine job, it create certain vibration among the close blood relatives. That is why those old emperors of life realized these hidden changes in us suggested to follow certain observance at the time of birth & death in a family.

Many of the opinion that during the affliction period you should not be worshiping God, nor participate in social welfare events etc. Let me clarify this portion little more in depth. You are most welcome to do worship of your personal God except physically visiting a temple or meeting a great soul or mingling with people engaged in social welfare, because you will forget the event that shocked you with happiness or sorrow. Perhaps the purpose of this observance or theme behind this event may be totally ignored. Since the desire of God is to initiate realization in us (Aathma Gnaana), God himself set forth these customs through Masters called Gurus. It all depend on you how you want place yourself – but don’t forget ‘society’ is much stronger to an individual. Every normal human would expect his/her house or villa to be kept clean, neat and tidy as well full of fresh flower’s fragrance spreading around etc. The same way the ‘Soul’ is also expecting its human body to kept clean & neat at all times. No vibrations are acceptable to that. As and when we are more and more pure we become ‘that’ that ‘Brahman’. The ‘’Brahman’ alone is a absolute pure in its all. Therefore, as along as we live in a family life we are instructed to follow ‘Asaucham & Soothakam’ to retain its original purity of the ‘Soul’ from the shocks.

Basically, As we talk more and more we consume more breathe and end life fast. Therefore, during such situations a person will be forced to observe calmness with this reason start thinking about the following questions in his/her mind that ‘why did he/she born, why did he/she died, what will happen to the person who died, what are the shortcomings to be experienced by this new born baby; is he/she going to follow my family traditional rituals or destroy the whole dynasty etc., are the some of important concerns. These types of questions are endless. Therefore, every human being should realize the ultimate truth during their lives and this is a wonderful chance for that. For some people it is not always happy or sad when some body born or die in a family such as great souls, sanyaasis etc. That is why when a Sanyaasi dies there is no observance of impurity. It is evident that, those realized souls do not fall under any such customs. Customs are meant for literal mortals.

It is physically good, if we follow and observe atleast the minimum level of impurity at the time of birth and death of a close blood relative.

I know current era do not allow us to follow these customs due to so many reasons. But believe me it is not ignorance it is a reality. At least think this much that you don’t want pay a homage to your near and dear. (Relatives are expected to be near & dear. I am not responsible if they are not).

I have carefully compiled this small book at least to follow what is possible in the current era. There are thousands of other rules are there in the “Asaucha Kanda”, but I have minimized to what is possible in today’s life. Hope you all will enjoy reading this book and try to do justice for yourself. With my best wishes to every reader of this book, let us enter the chapter.

Detailed Notes:

ASAUCHAM & SOOTHAKAM


Explanation Notes

ASAUCHAM :

Observance of impurity afflicted on the death of a member. (Also known as Pula or Pilai)

SOOTHAKAM :

Observance of impurity afflicted on the birth of a baby in the family. (Also known as Baalama)

DAAYAATI :

Members of family on father’s side for 7 generations, races, clan. (Also known as Sapinder or Pangali)

JNAATHY : Father and married brothers

KANYA STRI : Girl before the puberty age, i.e. virgin, chaste girl.

PANCHAGAVYAM : 5 cow products (Milk, Curd, Ghee, Cow’s Urine and Cow Dung).

PUNYAAHAM : To make oneself or day or the place punya (pure, free from sins, clean, auspicious) by sipping of or by spinkling sacred or sancitified water in a specific manner.

SANDHYA VANDAN : Daily prayers.

SNAANAM : Bath (by dipping in water) especially in river or pond.

VATU : Cronic Brahmachaari (boy who has received Brahmopadesam during his Upanayana ceremony)

SRAARDHAM : Death anniversary (Pithru day)

This is not part of ignorance.

Chapter 1 : Saucha-Asaucham Overview
(Observance during afflication of impurity)

Asaucha Kaanda has described in detail the various steps to be observed by family mambers, when they are afflicted with impurity on the death of the near and dear ones in their family as well as by the birth of a new child in the family.

For the sake of people who are keen in following these traditional valuable rules (Aachaaras), an attempt has been made to high-light some of the important rules mentioned in the Asaucha Kaanda. There are so many rules such as the followings. In reality, during the current iron age many of those aacharas cannot be possible to follow due to the devirsified life style and migration.

Broadly, these subtle impurities are known as “SOOTHAKAM or BAALAMA” arising on the birth of a child in the family, and “ASAUCHAM or PULA” arising on the death of a family member.

It is said that these subtle impurities affect 7 races (clan). However, for practical purposes, these are applicable to the family members for at least 4 generations, i.e. grand-father, father, self, and sons’ family mambers.

Even while observing the priod of impurity, all members can take daily snaanam (bath) and male members are allowed to perform their Sandhyaavandanam (daily prayer), but do not perform any rituals/poojas, make any house visits, invite any guests, attend any marriage or auspicious cermonies, and abstain from all cultural and social activities or gathering.

However, if Sraadham (Pithru day) either monthly or yearly, falls during this period, it should be postponed till Punyaaham day and performed on the respective Thithi falling immediately after the purification day.


Chapter 2 (a) : Soothakam


In the case of a male child born then;
10 days for all the dhaayathees
30 days from date of delivery for mother of the new born

In the case of a female child born then;
10 days for all the members of own family only
40 days from date of delivery for mother of the new born
Note: The mother observe in advance an additional 10 days impurity, asuming that the baby girl’s death takes place after her marriage. Due to which she is not allowed to observe impurity on account of her daughter’s death after her marriage. Because at the time of marriage all rights (mother daughter relationship) were transferred to another family.

3 days for the delivered woman’s parents
1 day for the delivered house (Soothika Griham)
10 days for Dhaayathees - i.e. (Male relatives and unmarried ladies on Father’s side):
a: Sibling - blood related brothers & their wives, and unmarried sisters
b: Father’s blood related brothers and their wives, and Father’s 2nd wife’s children, if any.
c: Grand father’s own & cousin brothers and their wives.

On the completion of the Soothakam, Punyaaham to be conducted and the sancitified water is sprinkled all over the place to make the place pure, and also sipped to make oneself pure.

The delivered mother will have to change her Mangalya Suthra on the 31st or 41st day as the case may be, and also sip “Panchagavya” to have 100% purity for ‘Bhaanda-Sparsa Karma’.

Note: All Brahmacharies, Kanyakaas and married sisters need not observe Soothakam.


Chapter 2 (b) : Asaucham

10 days of Asaucham to be observed on the death of a;

Jnaathy : By all Dhaayaathies
Brahmachary (irrespective of his age) : By all Dhaayaathies
Male child of 7 and above : By all Dhaayaathies
Male child between 10 days and 6 years : By Mother, Father & Siblings only.
Female child after 10 days & before marriage : By Mother, Father & Cousins only.

3 days Asaucham applicable to the following persons when a male Jnaathy die:
His - Maternal grand parents, uncle, aunt, wife’s parents, Parent’s Sisters, Sister’s children/nephews.
3 days Asaucham applicale to any married woman when the followings die:
Her - Own brother, newphew, own sister’s male child, step mother.

Note: Whenever husband is under the influence of impurity it automatically effect the wife, whereas wife’s all impurity does not effect husband.

Chapter 3 : Impurity vs Impurity

Since Asaucham is superior to Soothakam, it is said that while observing Soothakam if an Asaucham arise then Soothakam should be observed.

While observing one Asaucham (impurity) another impurity arises within 4 days (out of 10 days existing impurity) then no need to observe the later.

If a Brahmachaari has conducted Pithru Karmam then he will have to observe Asaucham.


Chapter 4 : General Impurity Rules

Suppose a person knowingly happen to have his food from a house already under the influence of Asaucham should observe one day Asaucham

Last day of the Asaucham, person should take bath only after 08:30 morning.

2 times bath is must if a person who visits semitary or carry deadbody.

If birth, death, or menses happens before 4 1/2 hours from Sun rise, then the first day of the impurity to be counted from next day only.

If a Sanyaasi die, nobody will have Asaucham.

In the case of son-in-law’s death, there is no Asaucham for girl’s parents. Only one time bath is a required.

When a Dur-Maranam (Suicide) takes place, then the relatives should wait for 6 months to initiate post marana karmam. Suicide on purpose did not deserve any Asaucham or Tharpanam. The most suitable post marana karma recommended as “Naraayana Bali’.

Person who has converted to another cast or inter-cast marriage do not deserve any Manthrocharana while cremation ceremony.


Chapter 5 : Impurity Through Menses

After her delivery, although it has been proved that until the mother stops breast feeding to the baby, she will not have menses. Nowadays everything is irregular. Regaining purification from the menses as follows:

· She should take bath in a pond or river. It should be only after 08:30 am (Sangava Kaalam)
· At one breath she should dip here whole body in the water for 23 times (Is it possible today?)
· She is not allowed to take bath before or during sun rise.
· She is allowed to participate in Pithru Karma only after 5 days from mensus.

INNER MEANINGS / REPRESENTATIONS OF STARS IN THE UNIVERSE - A divine play.

THE INNER MEANINGS AND REPRESENTATIONS OF STARS IN THE UNIVERSE

Each and every being in this universe takes birth in one of the following stars. The Universe is being controlled by the GOD through the denoted stars. So, the 28 stars (including Abhijit) are just like 28 vitamins for nurturing this Universe. However, the special birth is mankind with 6th sense.

Therefore those human beings have certain responsibilities to full fill and attain liberation from birth and death cycle. Whereas each and every person taking birth to accomplish certain Karmic activities on account of cosmic nature. That is what explained below: In other words; each person represents the responsibilities and duties as mentioned in the column. Since you know the secret of your birth, try to achieve liberation in an appropriate way.

STORY OF 108 SAKTHI PEETAAS

108 SAKTHI PEETAMS OF DIVINE MOTHER( List of Holy Places to be visited by a Devi Upâsaka )


The legend behind the 108 Sakthi Peetams is - At the time of Daksha Yâga, the Universal Mother, then known as Dâkshâyini, attended the Yagna uninvited against the advice of Lord Siva, and remonstrated with her father for not inviting Lord Siva, his son-in-law, for receiving the sacrificial offering. The arrogant Daksha intentionally humiliated Siva in the presence of all invited luminaries, and unable to stand this humiliation, Dâkshâyini, immolated herself by jumping into the Yagna Kunda. The arrogance of Daksha and the self-immolation of his consort made Lord Siva furious, and he set off his most powerful goblins to destroy Daksha's Yagna. Later Lord Siva himself appeared in the Yagna Sâla, beheaded Daksha, and picked up his consort's half-burnt mortal remains and carried her on his shoulders by murmuring 'Oh Dearest Sathi, what have you done! Didn't I warn you not to go for this Yagna … Oh Sathi…'

The separation of Sakthi from Siva made all Gods lose their inner strength. To save the situation, all Gods gathered at one place and appealed to Lord Vishnu to pacify Lord Siva, stop his wandering and somehow make Him seated in a place. For the benefit of the Universe, Lord Vishnu accepted this onerous task and meditated upon Sri Parâsakthi seeking Her help to solve this difficult situation. The universal Divine Mother advised him to cut the smoldered body into 108 pieces by shooting arrows from behind Lord Siva. With the Grace of Divine Mother, Lord Vishnu could accomplish this onerous task. All those 108 pieces had fallen and got scattered on the holy land of Bhârath and later transformed those spots into holy places worthy of worship, as shown in the following table. These places had Divine Vibrations and significance, where temples were built in course of time and worshipping of Sri Devi in various forms started.

It is a great achievement for a Devi Upâsaka to visit these holy places and feel the Divine Vibrations of Mother's presence there, and also sing Her glories at all times. Due to vagaries of nature, some of the places/temples do not exist now. However, as Divine Mother has said "Even if you meditate or remember these 108 holy places or chant My names, you will be bestowed with the same holy blessings as attained by visiting these places/temples.

The Divine Mother has given us good health, physique, vision, hearing, speech, wealth, employment, transport facilities, and many material comforts. Therefore everyone should develop an earnest desire and make a sincere effort to visit these places of worship and also feel the Divine Vibrations, which are the secrets of miracles and curing of many human sufferings taking place at the Sakthi Peetams of Divine Mother.

I am in constant search for the current locations of said Sakthipeetaa. As and when known to me will be updated in the table. In the mean time if you know the right places, please let me know. Thanks. Please double click to see the exapanded table.
