Greetings, Pongal,etc

[Guest guest]

Namaste All,

Greetings and Welcome to Lillth and Rick, Jennifer I did

prepare and serve your Pongal recipes for dinner last night and the

results were well recived by my friends,I am now encouraged to

prepare them again as a offering at my local temple's Pongal Festival

on Jan 13th. You also asked if I knew the meaning of my name

Lambodara it means large or pendulent belly,Lambodara is the 5th

avatar of Sri Ganesha and this avatar defeated the demon Krodhasura /

Anger, Das means servant/slave I was given this name when I became

hindu this is the only name I use.

 

I would very much like to aquire a few Sri Ganesha

Prayer/Mantra shawls large ones. does anyone know were or how I might

obtain this item? I often see Shiva,Krsna or OM shawls but am unable

to locate ones of Sri Ganesha. Thanks to everyone for sharing your

love of Sri Ganesha with me I find myself uplifted and inspired by

your association. Peace and Love All Around...Jai Sri Bala Ganapathi!

I am happy to hear that everyone like the recipies. But one thing

with Indian recipies is that each person will make it differently,

even if the recipe is the same, so I comment to you on a job well

done:) Let us know how it goes for pongal offering in your temple

That is interesting about the meaning of your name. I was guessing

it was Tibetian! But still some Tibetians are Hindu..

Anyhow most people don't know the meaning of their names, I am always

fascinated to find out these things. The most interesting was my

friend Pradhyumnan, When I asked him what that meant, he said it was

the god of love, like CUPID. In that case he should no problem

attracting girls

You said you got your name when you became a Hindu? I don't

understand, were you born of another religion. How did you 'become'

a Hindu? Hope you don't mind to share, but I warn you the board is

fully public so if you don't want to share, I fully understand.

I don't know about those shawls. I haven't seen one I don't think, so

sorry I can't help with that.

I found one more site, kinda interesting. Pongal (Sankanthi) cards,

this one is funny, I mean odd but neat. It is a virtual puja but

when you first open the window it is playing a christmas song, then

when you start to play the card music (suprabatham) you have to press

stop on the broswer to hear suprabatham.

I found it so interesting. Some of those sankanthi cards had houses

covered with snow, I guess to accomidate to Indians in US ..
