AATHREYA - MAHAALAYA 27 Sep'07 to 11 Oct '07

I am asked about the Significance of 1. Mahaalaya and 2. most

important days of Mahaalaya. I must admit that I do not know the

significance of many things in Sanaathana Dharma. I am a student

of Sanaathana Dharma , being a life long learner. Every day I learn

things that are new to me and everyday is a learning experience.

And I love to share what I learnt with learned colleagues.

Let me narrate an event ; When Sootha Mahaamuni went to

Naimisa AraNya , the assembled SaunakaAdi Munis asked Muni

Sootha many things . Sootha tells them in Sanskrit which Iquote in

Telugu Language followed by English translation;here it goes as :

" Nenu Vinnantha , Nenu Kannantha , Naaku Thelisinantha "

meaning Sootha says " I will tell all of you what I heard , what I

have seen and what I came to know from Gurus , Elders etc. "

1.Mahaalaya is Home - coming great event of our Ancestors on

parole with permission of YamaDharmaRaaja to honor ous

as our Guests. They might have come from any of Pithru Lokas-

Bhoo, Bhuvar, Suvar , Mahar , Jano ,Thapo ,Sathya, Go Lokams ,

Vaikhunttam, Kailaasam , and mostly from Yama Lokam under the

Jurisdiction of Yama Dharma Raaj .

2.Every day of Fifteen Days of Mahaalaya Paksha is important,

but most important days ( the significance of these beyond my

comprehension ) are as follows : -

a. Thursday , Sept.27 - First Dayof Mahalaya - significance -DAY ONE

b. Saturday , Sept 29 - Mahaa BharaNi - BharaNi is the Day's

Nakshathra - I do not know the significanceof BharaNi.

c. Tuesday , Oct , 02 - Vyatheepaatha Mahaalaya ( people who died

in a mishap , I think - I may be wrong.)

d. Sunday , Oct , 07 - Yathi Mahaalaya - probably for Yathis ( those

who embraced Sanyaasa Aaashram )

e. Tuesday , Oct , 10 - Sasthra Hatha Mahaalaya - probably meant for

those who died at war.( by a weapon )

f. Wednesday and Thursday , October 10 and 11 Amaavaasya (New

Moon) depends upon where one is .

( when I was an young boy, which I was long time ago , I used to think

Amaavaasya means NO MOON DAY and only later I came to know it is

New Moon Day - Birth of New Moon = Death is Birth of New Life Journey,

and hence we have to give plenty of food to Pithrus to last Them on Their

Long Journey.)

In addition Pithrus must be propiated on Their Thithi Day, Every New MoonDay,

every Ravi Sankramanam = every time Sun moves from one Raasi to Another

and every time when one undertakes Pilgrimage . Om Maatha -Pithrubhyo Namaha Om.

Rutham Vachmi , Sathyam Vachmi - Avathu Maam..Saanthi.

Maam Rutham Vadishyaami - Maam Sathyam Vadishyaami .

Truth , Whole Truth , Nothing But Truth. So Be It.

HI PRABHU/MATAJI, RADHE RADHE................... I APPRECIATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE ON VEDIC /HINDU COSMOLOGY.......... I AM NOT OBSERVING...............I SUBMIT TO KRISHNA............ WHAT'S THE CONSEQUENCES???????????? SINCERELY, SYAMA........... Malika maruthi <mesham54 wrote: That was a very good explanation for Mahalaya Amavasya. I was told by my Guruji Swami Sivananda maharaj from Poonamaravathi Sounth India that every

day form Pournami Pakscha to Mahalaya Amavasya every thithi has its importance. Ancestor visit our home at every thithi. If one cannot perform pooja every day to ancestors at least do from the 8th thithi(Asthami), the most important day is the Last day before the navaratri(Mahalaya Amavasya). However this year 2007, mahalaya fall on 10th (23rd day in the month of purattasi),according vakya panchangam. I wish all hindu to perform Pitru Pooja and get their blessings.
