Kayena Vacha…

Author: vidhya

Another sloka that is supposed to be very powerful

 

Kayena vacha manasendriyair va, buddhyatmana va, prakriteh svabhavat

Karomi yadyat, sakalam parasmai, narayanayeti samarpayami

 

I dedicate to the Supreme person Narayana all that I do by means of the body, words, mind, the organs of action, the organs of knowledge and by the impulsion of nature.

Karadayan nombu

Author: vidhya

 I have once described in my blogs how to make the kaaradai for the kaaradayan nombu. I thought I would be a good idea also to describe what is to be done for this festival.

It’s a simple festival for which the pooja is performed when the maasi month gets over and panguni starts. The exact time can be found in the panchangam or by asking a priest in the respective region (as the finishing of one month and beginning of the next differs in time as per region)
 
Ideally, the ladies are expected to fast from the sunrise till the time of the nombu. Of course the fast allows intake of fruits and water.
 
This is what I know about how to perform the pooja.
 
Things needed:

  1. Coconut
  2. butter
  3. Flowers
  4. Fruits
  5. Sacred thread smeared with turmeric.
  6. Turmeric pieces
  7. Beetle leaves
  8. Nuts (paakku)
  9. Banana leaves
  10. Kaaradai (preparation as in http://www.allyouwannaknow.net/youtoocantry/2009/03/15/kaaradai/ )

 
Procedure:
Cut the turmeric pieces to flat round in shape. Make a hole in the middle and pass the sacred thread through it so that it becomes a pendant. Place a small piece of flower with the pendant and tie it up tightly. Now you have a thread in the form of a chain with the turmeric and flower as the pendant.
Make one such chain for each lady in the house and one for the Goddess
Keep the photo or statue of goddess Kamakshi and decorate with flowers.
Put a kolam in front of the goddess and light the lamps
Place the babana leaf on the kolam and keep the coconut, fruits, beetle leaves, nuts, flower, one sacred threaded chain, Kaaradai, butter
Draw another kolam for each lady and place one banana leaf on each kolam.
Each banana leaf must contain one set of beetle leaves, nuts, flower, sacred thread chain,butter and the kaaradai.
Married ladies can wear the 9 yards madisaaru saree.
The kaamakshi ashtotram is recited
Neivedhyam is offered
Arthi is performed.
All ladies then do namaskaram to God and sit down in front of their banana leaves.
They keep a bunch of flowers in their hair
The husband ties the thread around the neck of the lady (for unmarried girls, they can tie it themselves praying for their future husbands)
The ladies do namaskaram to their husbands and then sit down again
They recite the following:
“urugadha vennayum oradayum naan nothen
Yekkalamum yen kanavan yennavittu piriyadhirukkavendum”
Which means
“I offer you butter and adai (kaaradai)
Bless me so that my husband and I never part”
After this
The ladies eat the butter and the kaaradai.
 
It’s actually pretty simple….

Anjaneya bhajan – Maruthiraaya

Author: vidhya

Long ago….daddy used to sing one anjaneya song. We used to like it a lot. Not sure from where he got it as it was not a part of our usual bhajan. I was suddenly thinking of it today and thought I must put down the words…here goes…

 Maaruti raaya vaanara kaaya
Namithomi paaya
Sreeraamaache bhajan kareetho
Premaja guna gaaya 

Rama lakshmana bharatha shatrughna
Kaivaari hanumaan
Ayodhya se raaj kareetho
Eka sree bhagavan    
Rama jaanaki krishna baishnaki
Radhae govinda
Hare rama raamahare raghu
Maari pandu ranga
