Ram Navami

The Hanuman Jayanti Ceremony- in pursuit of excellence
The Vasant or Spring Navratri is held during the beginning of summer. It is a time of thanksgiving to Mother Nature – who protects and sustains us. This year the Chaitra Navratras has been observed from today and ends with Ram Navami on the 3rd of April 2009.

Ram Navami is a festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Ram, the son of King Dasharath. It is believed that listening to the story of Ram cleanses the soul. Meditating and chanting his name is believed to ease the pains of life and lead one to moksha or liberation. Lord Ram is eternal, perfect and everlasting.

Once Shri Ram asked Hanuman as to who he was. Hanuman replied by saying-
"If you consider me just as the possessor of my physical body, then I am your servant. If you consider me as a soul then I am your 'Ansha' (part). My belief is based on the fact that my existence is not different from you in any way."

Hanumanji is a gem- the embodiment for pursuit of excellence because of his faith and devotion which leads to courage and the ability to achieve the impossible. To pray to the most powerful and valiant Shri Hanuman whose bravery, loyalty and faithfulness to Lord Ram!

Hanuman Jayanthi Ceremony

Maha Bhootha peedam mahothpada peedam,
Maha vyadhi peedam, mahadhiprapeedam,
hara swasritha bjeeshta dana pradhayin,
Namaste Namaste kapeendra prasathe.

Salutations and salutation to him, Who is famous as Indra among monkeys,
And who fulfills the wishes of his devotees,
With a humble request to put an end, to the great problems from evil,
To the Great dangers arising suddenly,
To the sufferings due to diseases,
And to the sufferings due to great sorrows.

Devotion is a great source of power. Shri Hanumaan was himself a great devotee of Lord Ram. We remember him as a true follower because of his unconditional dedication. Whenever we perform Hanumaan Jayanti we chant Bajrang Baan, a part of Hanumaan Chalisa. Many of our members must be wondering what this particular prayer does for you.

The Bajrang Baan is a powerful prayer to Lord Hanumaan. This prayer is deeply spiritual and has many healing powers. The recitation of the Bajrang Baan, is said to remove the trace of enemies from a person's life and neutralize the effects of any bad deeds.

Narada

One day when Narada was passing by Vikunta he saw Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati talking something and in Joyous mood and didn't notice Narada..(I do not know whether it is with anger/jealousy or just to poke fun) then Narada went upto the Lord Shiva and Whispered in his ear **Don't tell to anybody** and left immediately..

Now see what happens/happened, Maa Parvati anxiously started asking Shiva to tell me what did Narada say?

Maa Parvati: Tell me Mahaadev what did Narada say?

Lord Shiva: Narada told don't tell to anybody....

Maa Parvati: No i am your Ardhangini you must tell me please...

Lord Shiva: he said Don't tell to anybody....

and the argument continued... .......who' s right? and who's wrong?

So sometimes I believe "Galati se Mistake Ho jaata hai...:-) Ha..Ha..

This post is just for sharing again in the light-hearted. . and don't ask me the classic's reference as it was told by one of my Guru and narrated how things CAN happen when YOU are still right and saying the TRUTH
