Deepa Pooja

 

January 28, 2011

For more than 10 years consecutively, SriSringeri Shankara Math, Pune branch has been conducting the Deepa Puja in a grand manner. This pooja is performed twice in an year i.e., in one of the Fridays in the first months of Uttarayanam (15th January to 15th February) and Dakshinayanam (15th July to 15th August). A total number of  100 suvasinis participate and perform the deepa puja in Sri Sharadamba sannidhi at our branch math.

A nominal Kannikai of Rs.101 is accepted by advance registration from 100 Suvasinis.

Sri Shardamba is worshipped in the oil lit lamp with 16 Upacharas. Soubhagya dravyas like turmeric, betel leaves, glass bangles are offered. Sri Lalita sahasranama archana is done with kumkuma by each suvasini. This is followed by mahaprasadam to all.  The benefit of such satsang pooja is that each participant derives the benefit of the total namavali recited i.e., each participant of the pooja derives the benefit of having performed Laksharchana (100 Suvasinis × 1008 Namavalis each).

The present deepa puja is scheduled on Friday, 4th February, 2011. All are requested to participate in the event and be blessed by Goddess Sri Sharadamba. For further information, please do get in touch with Dharmadhikari at pune@branch.sringeri.net

 
  • Just as in this body, the embodied one passes through boyhood, youth, and old age, so does one pass into another body. With reference to this (birth, aging and death), the wise man is not disturbed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • An object continues to be dear as long as one derives pleasure from it and it is detested for the duration that it causes pain. The same object cannot be always liked or disliked. Sometimes, that which is not dear may become dear. Moreover, that which was loveable can turn unpleasant. The Atma, towards which affection never wanes, is always the most beloved. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Shatashloki
  • Blessings are the monopoly of God and we must all pray for his gracious blessings. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is pitiful that when many of us are asked, “who are you?”, The first thought that arises is “I am a Keralite”, or “I am a Punjabi”, etc. The thought that should immediately stem is “I am an Indian”. If people first feel that they are Indians and only then think of divisions, the nation will have great prosperity and the divisive forces will not be operative as they are today. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Instead of using the tongue for speaking futile issues, use it to chant the names of God. God shall then guide you along the right and beneficial path. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
