Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Dear Vikas I think the Q is much simpler in this period of Kalyaga....that: IF: you had problems that were not in your control but sudden developments out side or you could not do it as it was by mistake..or unknowingly..or your physical constraints.. THEN: I think you can take it to 41st day and complete your actual 40 day long pooja. You may meditate extra minutes on last day thinking on the matter that you are able to complete that day. God is great observer and he sees it all. HE is not as fault finder as we all are. Rps - vattem krishnan Wednesday, April 26, 2006 8:35 AM Re: Re: logic behind remedies for 40 days? Dear Vikas, Our reverred friend has given a very very factual explanation and significance of 40 days fasting. All such remedial measures also need faith and trust in vedic approaches.In the words of a very renowned astrologer and a prolific writer in jyotish says"the success of astrological advice ,especially on any impending problem,will be potent in avoiding or alleviating it than arguing that the event must happen as predicted..Most of the remedial measures are meant to boost the morale of the suffere but to recommend and prescribe them would be to take astrology to the soosaying level of divining.' Some problems require will and require identification that needs some type of sacrifice.Kuch pane ke liye kuch khona hai. All these require deeksha and dedication.40 days are to be seen in that direction.So it is not really to be continuous. krishnan panditarjun2004 <panditarjun2004 wrote: dear friend vikas sage veda vyas has written that there is not best penance than fasting. sage angirasa has explained in detail how fasting helps. he narrated how fasting for how many days would get what benefit. jesus did continuous fasting for forty days, so did moses spent forty days in prayers. the difference between good friday and easter is 40 days observed as holy by christians. according to doctors, in such long duration fastings, the toxins in the body are eliminated. the nineth month of islam is observed as the month of fasting. there used to be a time cycle of forty days and forty nights. nine cycles of forty days gives you 360 days. in southern states, every winter many people take a 40 days diksha to impose self discipline, abstain from sex even in winter, non- vegetarian food and liquor and remain saatvik for these 40 days continously ending it with a visit to the lord atop a holy hill. according to many scriptures, continuous fasting or prayers for forty days is the maximum advised for penance. hence any remedy done for forty days continuously shows the maximum penance or self discipline one can demonstrate. there are many more mythical reasons from all religions for forty days of continuous fasting and prayers. (for example in ravan janmabhoomi in visrakh village in UP, no person could visit and worship the shivling worshipped by ravan and his father visrava for forty mondays continuously including the local villagers and the temple's mahant himself as during these ten months period, they go out of station for one work or other until i became the first person to visit that temple for 40 mondays continously starting last year.) since this is advised aking to a course of medicine which needs to be taken at a stretch, a break after 30 days would not give any negative result but shows that your resolve could not be accomplished. with best wishes arjun , "vikas" <vikasjeer wrote: > > Sirs, > please guide regarding the logc for doing remedies/pooja for 40 days > at a streach. > what should a person do in case he misses the pooja for one day after > 30 days ? > with regards > > vikas > SURRENDER JOYFULLY TO THE WILL OF THE ULTIMATE DIVINITY AND RELISH THE TASTE OF ABSOLUTE BLISS.
