Makar Sakrati 2006

[Guest guest]

Hi all

 

I am posting my views on Makar Sakranti and expect all

the learned ppl to comment on it :

 

Makar Sakranti is on 14th Jan,saturday this year.

 

Sankranti means to go from one place to another place

(to change direction). It also means one meets

another. The time when the sun changes direction from

one constellation (of the zodiac) to another is known

as Sankranti.

 

Transition of the Sun from Sagittarius to Capricorn

during the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere

(Uttarayana) is known as Makar sankranti. People in

south celebrate this day as Pongal.

 

Since capricorn is ruled by saturn so it is also

regarded as Sun,father meeting his son, Saturn.

 

Sun not only represents God but also stands for an

embodiment of knowledge & wisdom. Sun is regarded as

life-giver and Its a day to worship Sun.

 

Please let me know if its good day for people with

debilitated sun to worship sun. I assume that it is

good day to worship for people with afflicted sun and

saturn.

 

Can some one detail on how can people (with afflicted

sun and saturn) benefit by worshiping on this day.

 

Thanks

Angel

Dear friend,

Very wonderful narration of makr sakantranti.a very important festival for

Hindus.

In south as well as north makar sankranti is celeberated except that in

tamilnadu as a gesture to the bhagwan surya ji pongal is celeberated.This part

of the year also coincides with new fasal/crop.Also it is also menat pay

obeissance to the elders as well as for the newly married time to spend time

parents in laws.In south it has special significance as rangoli also put infront

of the houses in decoration.

The way to appease Sun i.e afflicted Sun is to listen to Aditya hriday as well

as sury kavach.If one can recite early morning it is always best.

wearing a copper band ring regulary to anamika is also suggested.regular

offering arghya or water to sun is suggested.

For afflicted to involve in serving to the lower and needy strata of people

and offering the old clothes,chappals and roti is one way of seeking grace of

sani.otherway is to light mustard oil near peepal tree on saturday.The same

thing if done with arghya near peepal tree is to appease to afflicted sun and

saturn
