Meaning of samskara:
After Pralayam unification will happen. Hence efforts to be made to reach there .The sages have laid down forty samskaras and 8 athma gunas for this purpose. When it is said as athma guna and purifying atma through 1/5

Charity--Weekly worship:
As you all aware,I have been repeatedly telling that every place must have an association for weekly worship. The object of this is that once in a week people should all assemble & worship in the temple.People of other /1

religions are doing this on their own without anyone having to tell them. It is because of them visible power of such prayer that they get many things including a new free state.But for us the great was we had commanded all over the world & it keeps decreasing day by day. /2

It is only in the thought that only if our people come together at least one day in a week forgetting their crookedness & dissolve their minds in Bhagwan something good will happen to this country.I have been asking people to organise weekly worship groups & this has been /3

followed in many places.These people should themselves take up the public service about which I talked.There is no need for separate organisation. The Thiruppavai, Thiruvempavai group in Mayavaram is carrying out several activities like this on a planned basis.The main 4/

objective of the group is to conduct conferences on these two paavais,distribute free to school children books on this paavais, conduct test for them in these and award prizes in them. /5

Other aspects of Sandhyavandanam:
When a person does a job wholeheartedly, we say that the person does the activity holding his breath. As a matter of fact argayam to be offered holding one's breath.If we do this everyday all evil forces will be 1/4

destroyed. To do this first we should hold the breath. That is we need to control the breath. Nowadays all we do is, to just hold our nose with our fingers .Shastra says instead of nearly holding the nose, control the vital breath itself .Pranayama means controlling the 2/4

breath. Mind must be very focused in whatever one does. To do asthra prayogam of water also ,mind must be focused. That is why breath is to be controlled .One can ask how is that if breathing is controlled ,mind will be still ? We see when the mind is still the breath also 3/4

stops. Then we breathe fast compensating the breath lost. Therefore like how when the mind is still ,breath stops same way when breath stops mind will be very focused. That is the reason why the breath is to be controlled through Pranayamam before argiyam is given. 4/4

Marriage is for practice of Dharma only:
It is not possible for all to become Sanyasi in this world .The sastras extol Grahasthashramam as the backbone of the society since they are expected to live as per Dharma and fulfill the needs of the 1/

brahmachari and Sanyasi. After completing Once brahmacharyam by acquiring and learning good qualities one must marry to perform karm anushtanams. Marriage is included among the Forty samskaras meaning it is also a sacred rite in purifying the Jivan. Just as upanayanam is 2/4

preliminary step in brahmacharyam, marriage is a preliminary step in Grahasthashramam in disciplining the senses and the basis for performing various dharmic duties. Not only practicing worldly matters as per the Dharma, the sastras of grahasthasramam is done in such a 3/

that desire of kama is also fulfilled as per Dharma. Dharma means not exceeding anything but controlling it as per the limit is'not? Same way controlling once sensual pleasure and fulfilling once desire through marriage is known as practicing Dharma in kama. 4/4

The power of Gayatri Mantra:
Those who left Gayathri japam for three generations cease to be Brahmins. Then the street where they live cannot be an agraharam.Same way if yagnas were not performed for three generations they are dhur brahmins, 1/5

de generated brahmins . Though degenerated still the label of Brahmin sticks to them. There are prayaschithams available to regain the status of Brahmin. But if Gayatri japam is given up by three generations then he completely looses the status of Brahmin. He again cannot 2/5

become a Brahmin .He is just a Brahmana Bandhu. That is having Brahmins as relatives .Same way Kshatriya gives up Gayathri japam he becomes Kshatriya _Bandhu.Vysyas becomes Vysya Bandhu.Hence the spark of Gayatri must be developed into a fire .Even though spark by itself 3/5

may not serve any purpose but it has a potential to become big and being useful. Hence at least on Sunday people should chant Gayatri thousand times .Should not eat unclean food at unclean places .Should do prayaschitham for the lapses did so far. Hence forth must take 4/5

care by not taking unclean food and ensure that their body is kept cleaned to retain the power of Mantras.5/5

Charity--Intrinsic benefits of service:
Creating confidence in all sections that they can continue to be in our religion with self respect is through public service which is to be rendered by everyone coming together.I will talk about those /1

services later. Like this all Hindus coming together & undertaking services itself become them fencing for our religion & will ensure it is not a public land.Since all sections of the religion will get the feeling that' this is our own religion this situation that anybody /2

outside our religion can claim them as their own will go away. It is not necessary for us to indulge in counter propaganda & create quarrels to take care of the condition of Hindus & ensure that there is no religious conversion.If our negligence & hardness goes & we undergo /3

a change of heart & include all of our people in service to others, religious conversion will stop.This is the peaceful way for protecting the Hindu society & ensuring it remains intact.Instead of helping others keeping religion as the ulterior motive,we should do it as /4

fulfillment of love & side by side protect our religion.More than offering ceremonial welcome & garlanding me except if all Hindus come together in rendering service & protect our religion that will be the greatest help you will be doing & best way of extending courtesy to me. /5

#Thread Two divine forms of Khatu Shyam ji...

On the day of Amavasya, devotees get the darshan of Shyam Baba in Shyam varan (black color). In ordinary days, the form of Baba is saffron. The reason for this is a custom. The real head of Shyam Baba which had appeared from Shyam Kund is of Shyam varan.

Every day Shyam Baba's grand Shringar is done by Pujaris. The main part of Shyam Baba's shringar is Tilak. This Shringar is done by the members of Nij Mandir sevaks. The sevaks of the Nij Mandir do sandalwood tilak to Baba everyday in the auspicious time.

This Divine Tilak is applied from the forehead to the nose. When Baba is given a bath by sevaks, this tilak comes off. Then in the auspicious time, the sevaks again apply tilak to Baba.

There is no auspicious time on the Amavasya. Because of this, tilak is not done on that day. That's why devotees have darshan of Shyam Baba on the Amavasya only in the actual real form (Shyam Swaroop). Baba's tilak is done on Amavasya only on the day of Deepawali.

Srikanteshwara Temple,
#Nanjangud  #Karnatakatemples 🚩

Srikanteshwara Temple or
Nanjundeshwara Temple is a famous Shiva Temple located in Karnataka at the bank of river  Kapila. Temple is also called Varanasi of South. Nanjunda means one who has consumed poison.

Story is  related to the Samudra Mathanam when Paramashiva had to consume halahala.

Parashurama worshipped Mahadeva here to relieve himself from the curse of Mathru Hatya. While clearing the place to do poojas Parashurama's  axe hit the Shivalingam and it began bleeding, that

mark is still visible even today. Thus
it is also believed that Parashurama did Shiva Prathishta here

Sthala Puranam says that, once there was a demon named Keshi who disturbed the people in the area, after  getting blessing from Brahma Deva  and Mahavishnu. Mahadeva appeared

here and killed demon Keshi and blessed this place as Papa Vinashini. Whoever praying to Srikanteshwara or Nanjundeshwara, after bathing in the  Kabini River will be relieved from all sins.

Nanjundeshwaraya Namah

Did you know?
Ahilyabai Holkar was one of India's
greatest women rulers of all time.

Ahilyabai was Born on May 31,1725 in the village of Chondi,Jamkhed distt,Maharashtra to a man named Mankoji Shinde,who was the Patil(Chief) of a village and a member of proud Dhangar Community.

Despite the fact that girls' education was a farther dream in those days, Ahilyabai was homeschooled by her father.
Ahilya didn't belong to any royal family but in a twist of fate she is still remembered as one of the most revered Queen in the history.

While they were living their humdrum lives, one day Malhar Rao Holkar, commander of the Peshwa Bajirao & Lord of the Malwa stopped in Chondi on his way to Pune, where he couldn't help but notice a young 8yrs old Ahilyabai in the temple service feeding the poor & hungry.

He was so impressed by the sheer innocence&beauty with simplicity character of Ahilyabai dat he asked her hand in marriage for his son Khanderao Holkar.Just like that she got married to Khanderao in 1733 at a tender age of 8&became a bride of esteemed Maratha community of Holkars

But destiny had something else in store for her as her husband died in the Battle of Kumbher in 1754 leaving her widow at 29.Distressed Ahilyabai was to commit Sati when her father-in-law Malhar Rao refused to let it happen.
