भाग्योदय हेतु श्रीमहा-लक्ष्मी-साधना - Bhagyouday ke Liye Sadhana

भाग्योदय हेतु श्रीमहा-लक्ष्मी-साधना

भाग्योदय हेतु श्रीमहा-लक्ष्मी की तीन मास की सरल, व्यय रहित साधना है। यह साधना कभी भी ब्राह्म मुहूर्त्त पर प्रारम्भ की जा सकती है। ‘दीपावली’ जैसे महा्पर्व पर यदि यह प्रारम्भ की जाए, तो अति उत्तम।
‘साधना’ हेतु सर्व-प्रथम स्नान आदि के बाद यथा-शक्ति (कम-से-कम १०८ बार) “ॐ ह्रीं सूर्याय नमः” मन्त्र का जप करें।

फिर ‘पूहा-स्थान’ में कुल-देवताओं का पूजन कर भगवती श्रीमहा-लक्ष्मी के चित्र या मूर्त्ति का पूजन करे। पूजन में ‘कुंकुम’ महत्त्वपूर्ण है, इसे अवश्य चढ़ाए।

पूजन के पश्चात् माँ की कृपा-प्राप्ति हेतु मन-ही-मन ‘संकल्प करे। फिर विश्व-विख्यात “श्री-सूक्त” का १५ बार पाठ करे। इस प्रकार ‘तीन मास’ उपासना करे। बाद में, नित्य एक बार पाठ करे। विशेष पर्वो पर भगवती का सहस्त्र-नामावली से सांय-काल ‘कुंकुमार्चन’ करे। अनुष्ठान काल में ही अद्भुत परिणाम दिखाई देते हैं। अनुष्ठान पूरा होने पर “भाग्योदय” होता है।

Prasanna vadanam dhayayet sarva vighnopasaantaye ||

ॐ  सुक्लाम्बराधाराम  विष्णुम  ससिवार्नाम  चतुर्भुजम |

प्रसन्ना वदनं धयायेत सर्व विघ्नोपसान्ताये ||



Water sipping(Aachamana):

- Recite this, sip water as above.

Om Maadhavaaya swaaha| (ॐ  माधवाय  स्वाहा)

Declaration of Intent(संकल्प):

While performing this puja, mention your wish to be fulfilled. This is called sankalpa. Recite like this:

I,___________ (tell your name), offering my prayers to god / goddess ___________(tell your deity's[God] name) on this day for achieving all the four: धर्मं (righteousness), अर्थ (money), कामा (ambition), मोक्ष (liberty) and for alleviating all problems from my life. I wish the complete grace and protection of god / goddess _____________(tell your deity's[God] name) to fall on me and my family members always.

Gayatri Mantra:

If you have taken already Gayatri mantra from a Guru, you should recite that mantra in multiples of 108. People, who did not know this mantra should skip this section.



Worshipping the deity [God]:

Look at the photo / idol of your deity and get that picture imprinted in your mind. Close your eyes for 2 to 3 minutes and visualize the form of your god. Imagine your deity has come and sat before you. This is called 'ध्यानं (meditation)'.



Now recite the 108 or 1008 holy names of your deity. People who got mantra of the deity from a Guru should recite it in multiples of 108. While reciting the names or mantra, throw flowers on your deity. If flowers are not available, then throw अक्शितास (Rice) on your god.



If you are using an idol for worship, you can pour milk, fruit juices, honey, ghee, coconut water etc., on the idol and finally clean the idol with water. This should be done simultaneously with mantra recitation. Then adorn the idol with flowers.



Sipping the holy water (गंगाजल):

At the end of reciting holy names or mantra, take water in to your right hand and leave it into a plate saying:



Yetatphalam Sree _______________ (tell your deity's[God] name) devata-arpanamastu|

येतात्फलम  श्री  _______________ (tell your deity's[God] name) देवातार्पनामास्तु |

The water thus obtained is energized with divine vibrations. You should take this water from the plate into your right hand and tell this:



Om akaala mrutyu haranam sarva vyaadhi nivaaranam|

Mahaa paapa kshayakaram Sree _____________ (tell your deity's name)

devata paadodakam paavanam subham|

ॐ  अकाल  मृत्यु  हरनाम  सर्व  व्याधि  निवारणं |

महा  पापा  क्षयाकाराम  श्री  _____________ (tell your deity's name)

देवता  पादोदकं  पावनं  सुभम |



Saying this, sip the water slowly.



Offering food(नैवेद्यं):

Any fruit / sweet / jaggery / sugar / milk can be offered as food for your deity. Put them in a plate before the photo or idol and split some water droplets on it, saying:



Om Sree ______________ (tell your deity's name) devataaya namaha| Naivedyam samarpayaami|



ॐ  श्री  ______________ (tell your deity's name) देवताय  नमः | नैवेद्यं  समर्पयामि |



Note: Later, this offering should be consumed by you and your family members and it can also be distributed to others.



Lighting camphor(हारती):

Now lit up the camphor in a small plate, and move the plate around the photo / idol in a verticle circular form. Do this three times from left to right.



Circumambulation(प्रदक्षिनास):

Stand up and rotate your body from left to right. While doing this, fold your hands at chest and close your eyes. Do three complete rotations. Then kneel down before god and fold your hands, close your eyes and ask your deity to fulfill your wishes.

The Amazing Onion

We read about the Amazing Cucumber.

Now let us read about the Amazing Onion.
 
It is not Vege Tales... but Facts.
 

Wish I knew this earlier !!

A friend of mine told me a story about when he was a kid he was in the hospital & nearly dying. His grandmother came to the hospital & told a family member to go buy her a large onion & a new pair of white cotton socks. She sliced the onion open then put a slice on the bottom of each of his feet & put the white cotton socks on him. In the morning when he awoke they removed the socks. The slices of onion were black & his fever was gone. The following story that someone sent to me might have some truth in it & we are going to try it this winter.

In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu. Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.

The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.

Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in AZ. She said that several years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It must work.. (And no, she is not in the onion business.)

The moral of the story is, buy some onions and place them in bowls around your home. If you work at a desk, place one or two in your office or under your desk or even on top somewhere. Try it and see what happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.

For flu cure :-

Cut both ends off an onion put one end on a fork and then place the forked end into an empty jar... placing the jar next to the sick patient at night. It said the onion would be black in the morning from the germs... sure enough it happened just like that... the onion was a mess and I began to feel better.

Onions and garlic placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.

One more thing, never store cut onions and consume the next day.



Thanks and Regards,

Cool Unused Track

A nice thought and worth reading....

A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.

The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange. You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?

Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make........

 

 
Scroll down
.
.

Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess. Exactly, to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?

 

Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was.. This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.

 

The great critic Leo Velski Julian who told the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.. If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.

 

While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.

 

'Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right.'

 
Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils.

Benefits of Cinnamon and Honey

Benefits of Cinnamon and Honey

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call "crystallizing" When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.

Cinnamon and Honey

Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.

Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES:

Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack.. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

ARTHRITIS:

Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

BLADDER INFECTIONS:

Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm waterand drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder..

CHOLESTEROL:

Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS:

Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.

UPSET STOMACH:

Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers from the root.

GAS:

According to the studies done in India and Japan , it is revealed that if Honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

IMMUNE SYSTEM:

Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacterial andviral diseases.

INDIGESTION:

Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

INFLUENZA:

A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ' Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.

LONGEVITY:

Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increase and even a 100 year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old..

PIMPLES:

Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.

SKIN INFECTIONS:

Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

CANCER:

Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three times a day.

FATIGUE:

Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.

BAD BREATH:

People of South America, first thing in the morning, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

HEARING LOSS:

Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing. Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!
