Ravivar Vrat Katha With Aarti — रविवार व्रत कथा एवंआरती

 Ravivar (Sunday) Vrat & Katha is for lord Surya (Sun). And it is supposed to help in several aspects of life. As it is the source of energy, it is also a healer for curing diseases and improving life-force (prana).

In Vedic culture, offering water to Surya comes in daily rituals. And in Yoga, Surya-Namaskar in front of it helps in flexibility of body and cures other body related troubles. Surya festival, called “Chhath Puja “ comes two times in a year and celebrated with much enthusiasm and devotion.

Ravivar Vrat & Katha helps in enhancing devotion to Surya, this way it goes stronger in your life and horoscope as well — and removes all the troubles which happen in its absence.

Vrat:

Simple thing is, worship Surya in the morning and take food only one time in the evening (before Sunset).

Katha:

Once there was an old woman. Her weekly habit on Sunday was to wake up early in the morning; bringing Cow’s Gobar which used to stand by at the outside gate of a neighboring woman; cleaning her worshiping place by spreading-and-drying diluted Gobar throughout on the ground; and to worship God with all her sentiments as she knew. Years went by, she was pleased with her habit and God was pleased too.

Then neighboring woman felt jealous seeing that old woman so happy. So she thought to disturb her worship by tying the cow inside her gate. Old woman couldn’t find Gobar that Sunday, she kept her Vrat but couldn’t do her worship throughout the day, and slept empty stomach in the night.

God who was witnessing everything, gifted that old woman a beautiful Cow so she could maintain her weekly worship. Old woman tied the cow outside her gate. Neighboring woman kept watching the new Cow secretly and knew this Cow gives golden Gobar. She felt much jealous and reported to the king that an old woman possessed a miraculous Cow and it was only suitable to the king.

King asked his men to bring the Cow. Cow arrived at the king’s palace and left the old woman in tears. And that night in the king’s dream God appeared and ordered him to return cow to the old woman — without any delay, early in morning king himself went to return the Cow; fell to the feet of the old woman and knew it was the result of her weekly worship. Since that day, king suggested everyone to do weekly worship on Sunday.

Aarti:

1) कहूँ लगी आरती दास करेंगे, सकल जगत जाकी जोत बिराजे ॥
2) सात समुद्र जाके चरणनि बसे, कहा भयो जल कुम्भ भरे ॥
3) कोटि भानु जाके नख की शोभा, कहा भयो मंदिर दीप धरे ॥
4) भार अठारह राम बलि जाके, कहा भयो शिर पुष्पधरे ॥
5) छप्पन भोग जाके नितप्रति लागे, कहा भयो नैवेद्य धरे ॥
6) अमित कोटि जाके बाजा बाजे, कहा भयो झनकार करे ॥
7) चार वेद जाके मुख की शोभा, कहा भयो ब्रम्हा वेद पढ़े ॥
8) शिव सनकादी आदि ब्रम्हादिक, नारद हनी जाको ध्यान धरे ॥
9) हिम मंदार जाको पवन झकोरे, कहा भयो शिव चवँर दुरे ॥
10) लाख चौरासी वन्दे छुडाये, केवल हरियश नामदेव गाये ॥

Golden Rule Of Three Years To Get Success

Give yourself completely to whatever you like for three years -- let it be your career, business, health or any other thing of life. Why three years, exactly? Because what is the advantage of sticking to something which isn't giving any result. Time is precious, don't waste if the results aren't coming. Why not less than three years? If we spread these three years for success, we can assume first year is dominated by getting knowledge of the field, second year dominated by execution, and the third year comes the maturity where knowledge and experience of execution strike for success.  As an exeption we can stretch these three years into five or six years -- only when there are uncontrollable issues like of health or circumstantial issues.

108 Names Of Shri Surya From Mahabharata

Surya (Sun) is the most important planet as well as a deity. Worshiping Surya increases prana-shakti (life-force), it rays destroy many diseases and it is the biggest source of never ending energy. There is a Strota, called Surya-Kavach, it is chanted for protection, as a deity his protection is very strong — remember the case of Karna in Mahabharata, he was invincible due to Surya-Kavach. This Surya-Kavach wasn’t as it is shown in movies, it was a Mantrik protection which Karna had and on Indra request he promised not to use it in the war. We take note of popular deities, but Surya as a deity is not lesser than others — though there are less Sanskrit literature on Surya (as I know), but whatever it is, like Surya Kavach and Aditya Hriday Strota, I think, is very potent. English Name | हिंदी नाम 1) Om Suryaay Namah | ॐ सूर्याय नम: 2) Om AryMane Namah | ॐ अर्यमणे नम:

Essential Nyas For A Sadhak To Do Everyday

Nyas means to establish something (Devi / Devta energy) in our body: it purifies our body and makes our body and mind worthy of chanting a mantra / stotra. A Sadhak should do भूत-शुद्धि, बहिर्मातृका न्यास, अन्तर्मातृका न्यास, and षोढा-न्यास daily, 'coz we worship Devta by becoming a Devta, and in that Nyas helps us a lot. In every mantra generally many kinds of Nyas are given prior to chanting a mantra, they are usually shorter and doesn't take much time. They are essential and shouldn't be skipped. These  भूत-शुद्धि, बहिर्मातृका न्यास, अन्तर्मातृका न्यास, and षोढा-न्यास take comparatively longer time duration.  भूत-शुद्धि means purification of five elements in our body, that is Earth (Prithvi), Water (Jal), Fire (Agni), Air (Vayu), and Ether (Aakash). बहिर्मातृका Nyas and अन्तर्मातृका Nyas, establish  "energy of our VarnMala" in our body-parts and in our chakras respectively.   षोढा-न्यास is of two types Lagu Shoda Nyas and Maha Shoda Nyas.

18 Types Of Puja (Worship) Acc. To Fetkarini Tantra

Puja enhances our devotion to our Deity, and it is not an expensive affair we can learn to do it ourselves. Puja makes our heart-center (Air element) stronger, as our devotion increases it is bound to be happen. It is written in Fetkarini Tantra, about 18 kinds of worship (Puja). I think during Navratri, Holi, Deepawali (Lakshmi), Ganesh Chaturthi, MahaShivRatri and during all major festivals, Panchopachar Puja isn't sufficient one should go for either Shodosopchar Puja (16 types) or below 18 types of Puja. Try to do this in Navratri or at the time of Ganesh Chaturthi, because during these two festivals most of the Hindu do Murti Visarjan (point 18). आसनावाहनं चार्घ्य, पाद्यमाचमनं तथा। स्रानं वासोपवीतिं च, भूषणानि च सर्वशः ।। गन्धं पुष्पं तथा दीपं, धूपोऽत्रं चापि तर्पणम्। माल्यानुलेपनं चैव, नमस्कारो विसर्जनम् ।।  अष्टादशोपचारैस्तु, मातृ पूजां समाचरेत् ।। Means:1 आसन, 2 आवाहन, 3 अर्घ्य, 4 पाद्य, 5 आचमन, 6 स्नान, 7 वस्त्र, 8 उपवीत (जनेऊ), 9 आभूषण, 10 गन्ध, 11 पुष्प, 12 धूप, 13 दीप, 1

Why Two Types Of Navratri Are More Popular

Navratri comes four times in a year: 1) In Chitra (Vasant) Maas, 2) In Sharad (Ashwin) Maas, 3) In Ashadha (आषाढ़) Maas, and 4) in Magh Maas. As it is written in the following Shaloka: चैत्रे आश्विने तथाषाढे, माघे कार्यों महोत्सवः। नव रात्रे महाराज! पूजा कार्या विशेषतः ।।  Generally, we are told that two Navratri are for public and rest two Navratri are called Gupt Navratri. These two Gupt Navratri are for the Sadhak --- but it isn't the exact fact. All four Navratri are for general public and for all dedicated Devi Sadhak, there is no secret. Fact is during the time of Chaitra and Sharad, weather changes a lot -- so there are chances of getting diseases. During Navratri due to fasting and purification, all kind of diseases can be avoided, that's why these two Navratri gained significance among public.
