Grahana Shanti Havan Monday Night, 6:00 pm
Those most impacted by this eclipse are thought to be those born in Simha Rasi. These are Magha, Pubba (Purva Phalguni), and Uttara Phalguni nakshatras, and pregnant ladies. While it is good for anyone, Grahana Havan in the Homa Kunda on Monday is especially recommended for these people. Bring 2 lbs each of whole white urid dahl, wheat flour, and white rice to donate to the priest. This will help alleviate any negativity. If you cannot come to the Temple, donate to another Priest or Brahmin nearby. You can sponsor this havan by visiting: GRAHANA SHANTI HAVAN. Modern, scientific people will laugh at all these precautions! Spiritual people will notice that there is something going on during the eclipse, and take precautions. |

Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated on Shukla Chaturthi of the Hindu month of Bhadra.
As per Hindu mythology, Lord Ganesh is considered as “Vigana Harta” (one who removes obstacles) and “Buddhi Pradaayaka” (one who grants intelligence). This festival is very important for students, they worship Lord Ganesh to illumine their minds.
Everyone, especially children, should have a chance to see the Sahasra Deepam Alankaram of Lord Venkateswara at least once in their lives. When the lights are turned low, and the dipas glisten, it is both beautiful and mystical.
Lord Venkateshwara, SreeDevi and Bhoo Devi will be seated on the Unjal (Swing) as priests chant vedic hymns and devotees light a thousand diyas around them. All are welcome to participate in preparing the deepams and lighting them.
 |
Every religion uses deepas (lights) in their services. Light symbolizes God. Devotees including children will light the lights, setting them on an auspicious path and burning away their sins.
