Guest guest Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 donate a coin on Wed , 16th May --Lord Saturn Jayanti at http://hari-vrinda-dham.sulekha.com/blog/posts.htm Many are performing special Shani-pooja , planning to visit Shani-temples , keep fast & so on Wednesday , 16th May as * as it's Shani (Lord Saturn) Jayanti * from next day Purushottam month will start ..... best month is from 17th May to 15th June , 2007 Shani-temple near Goverdhan in Braj is so famous so alongwith Goverdhan-parikarma , Shani-parikarma will also be done by millions. Must donate a coin on Wednesday , 16th May as narrated by a Lord Krishna devotee ;-- "Let me take this opportunity to share a last Vrindavan visit experience too . As it was a Saturday ( Sri Sita Naumi , 6th May,2006) , one a Shani-beggar came & Manohar Baba gave him a rupee . As He Himself is a Sanyaasi & sublime personalities' every action has some meaning , I curiously asked him purpose of this action :-- He quoted from Mahabharat about Aswatthama episode . As he killed Draupadi's all 5 kids , Arjun vowed to kill him. But Draupadi was so large-hearted that she did not want Aswatthama 's mother to grieve in same way as Draupadi was grieving . So Lord Krishna intervened & suggested a middle path---- let Arjun cut his hair & bring out a jewel that gave Aswatthama so much power & therefore ego. After jewel was taken out , Aswatthama felt too much pain. But as he is immortal ( b'coz of boon by Brahmaji ) , Aswatthama begged Lord Krishna for mercy . Then Lord Krishna ruled that let him beg on Saturday and if one donates him oil or money to purchase oil , some relief will be there . But punishment was necessary to show to the world that it's a heinous crime to kill kids. So Poojay Manohar Baba said to honour Lord Krishna's words , he donates as who knows this beggar is Aswatthama ? I was appalled at his belief in scriptures & act accordingly . How many of us have this unflinching faith ?I vowed before him that now onwards I shall also donate for Shani-Maharaaj. Now you may have an interesting question to ask ----that in Delhi on every Traffic light , there is Shani-Maharaaj so to how many I will stop the car & donate ??? To this , Manoharji had a simple solution --- just give coin to very first beggar you come cross , rest you may ignore. Fully satisfied , we left Venu Vinod Kunj at Vrindavan .. Back home , I think if you are convinced , you can also donate just one coin to the very first beggar you come across. Otherwise also many do Shani-pooja , visit Shani-temples , keep fast & so on. It's also believed if you have grace of Hanumaanji, evil planet ( Shani ) cannot trouble you . So just visit Hanumanji temple on every Saturday & donate just one coin with above Lord Krishna episode in mind !!!!
