Invitation
for the "Prathyangira Maha shantika
Maha Yaga"
Dear Sathsang,
Namaste!
Well and wish to hear the same from your side. Enclosed is the invitation for
the "Prathyangira Maha shantika
Maha Yaga" that is to be performed at our temple
from 9th till 20th of this month. "Prathyangira'
is also known as 'Atharvana Bhadrakali
"who is suppose to be the "shakthi"
the vital energy of the Lord "Sarabeshwara"
a form of lord Siva. "Bhadra" in sanskrit means Auspicious and
"Kali" is she who controls all the three time periods i.e. Past,
Present and the Future. It is she who is taking care of us and blesses us with
auspicious. Are we not just puppets in her hands?
A doubt arises in general is, why god takes "Ugra" form if she is filled up with kindness"Daya". The sastras
anwsers this question of ours as "DYTHYANAAM
DEHA NASHAYA, RAKSHANAM ABHAYAYA CHA"(For the destruction of the evil and
to protect the good I (DEVI)carry the Weapons) (Devi Mahathmya).
"Prathyangira maha
mantra" is also the "Astra mantra" of lord Siva.
"Astra" is weapon and the sastras declares
"ASTRAM SHATRU VIMARDANAM" (the weapons will destroy the enemy). Here
enemy need not necessary be some human .It is all the
energies that are acting as hindrance to our success. "MANTRA" in sanskrit has got two roots -
"MAN"- To repeat and "TRA" -To protect. Hence a
"Mantra" is nothing but a protection for us through the repetition of
particular names of particular lord. Just by intaking
some medicine we get cured from the disease, By repeating
some mantra for particular times with particular metre
it creates some energy which will fulfill our desires. This is our BELIEF and
the TRUTH.
It is in this context that we have decided(ordered
by the god) to perform the "Adhvara". The
"prathyangira moola
mantra" will be chanted for Nine Lakh times and
one tenth of the total chanting will be offered in the form of fire sacrifice
by experts of this "mantra" from different parts of Tamil Nadu.
"Prathyangira" will remove all the negative
energies that are slowing our progress and bless the world with peace and
happiness. Any prayers performed at the temple is
always for the world in general. "LOKAS SAMASTHA SUKINO
BHAVANTHU"(let all the beings be happy). This is the prayer (SHOULD BE THE
PRAYER) of any member of this oldest faith of the world.
Please pray for the successful completion of this
prayers. Please do participate if you are in town. Else you can join us
through your mind ("MANASEEKA'). My sincere prayers to
my mother Sri Kalikambal to bless your family with peace and happiness.
Let all your dharmic desires be fulfilled.
Jai Hind
