SRI SAI SATCHARITRA PARAYANA - The Benefits

SRI SAI SATCHARITRA PARAYANA - The Benefits

 

1.     After bathing in the sacred Godavary and after taking the darshan of the Samadhi in the Samadhi Mandir at Shirdi, you should read or hear the Satcharitra. If you do this all your threefold afflictions will vanish.

 

2.    Casually thinking of about the stories of Sai, you will get interested in spiritual life, and if you go through it with love and reverence, all your sins will be destroyed.

 

3.    If you wish to get rid of the cycle of birth and deaths, read Sai stories and remember Him always, and get yourself devoted to His Feet.

 

4.    If you dive into the sea of Sai's stories, and then give them out to others, you will get an ever-new flavour of them and save the hearers from future misery.

 

5.    If you go on meditating on Sai's Form, it will, in course of time, lead you into self-realization.

 

6.    It is very hard to know or realize the nature of Self of Brahma; but if you approach through the Sagun Brahma (Sai's Form) your progress will be easy.

 

7.    If the devotee completely surrenders himself to Him, he will loose his individual ego and be merged in Him and be one with him, as the river becomes cone with the sea.

 

8.    If you thus become merged with Him in any of the three states, viz., waking, dream and sleep, you get rid of the bond of Samsar.

 

9.    If anybody, after bathing, reads this with love and faith, and completes it within a week, his calamities will disappear.

 

10. If he hears or reads it daily and regularly, all his dangers will be warded off.

 

11.  He will get the reward according to his faith and devotion.

 

12. If you read this with reverence Sai will be pleased, and by removing your ignorance and poverty, will give you knowledge, wealth and prosperity.

 

13. With concentrated mind, if you read a chapter daily, it will give you unbounded happiness.

 

14. One, who has his own welfare at heart, should study it carefully and then, he will ever remember Sai gratefully and joyfully in birth after birth. 

 

15. By its study, the diseased and sick will get health, the poor wealth, the mean and afflicted the prosperity, and the mind will get rid of all futile and get steadiness.

Blessed Devotee who Experienced Baba’s Miracle before 1918

Blessed Devotee who Experienced Baba's Miracle before 1918

A caesarian section changed to normal baby birth

 

In 1917, a 'Maha Mandal' in honour of the Bharadwaj Gotra was conducted in Babol village in Vengurla taluka, Ratnagiri. They invited Dabholkar to preside and become its president. As always, Dadbholkar consulted Baba who refused permission. The same thing happened the following year. So, he dropped the idea. Baba then appeared in his dream and told him to take up the position of president, the following year. So, he did just that.    Dabholkar's    daughter became mentally imbalanced and started clinging to her father. She would not listen to anybody, but him. As president, it was required of Dabholkar to go to Babol. So, with Baba's permission, he left and returned in four days. During that period, his daughter was quite normal. But after his return, she relapsed again. To add to all this, she started getting convulsions and couldn't be controlled by anyone. Dabholkar was quite upset as his daughter was pregnant at that time and everyone was worried about the baby.

 

Being a kind and caring father, he got three famous gynecologists to examine her. Each of them advised a caesarian to safely deliver the baby, but thought that the mother's life may be in jeopardy. The very next day, a doctor came to his home on his own accord and advised him to seek divine help. This was easy for Dabholkar and he at once prayed to Baba to help both mother and child. She then delivered a normal baby without the help of surgery or the doctors. After some time, both mother and child came to Shirdi. The merciful Baba blessed her and said that all would go well. After that, all her sufferings came to an end.

Yajur Upakarma (Avani Avittam)-2015 – Text and MP3 Downloads

Yajur Upakarma which is performed in the month of Sravana, on the full moon day. This year, it  falls on 29th August, 2015

It is very important that all of us perform this ritual without fail and do prayshchita for removal of all the sins and secure the divine blessings.

PDF and Audio Downloads

The complete Upakarma vidhi is available in Tamil and Sanskrit as downloadable pdf files for the help of all devotees. The Audio recording for the same has also been provided for the benefit of devotees. The Mantras have been rendered by Sri V.Sriram Ghanapatigal

NOTE: While the below PDF and Audio Files will be helpful for the devotees to perform Avani Avittam at the comfort of their home by following these, it is for those who are hard pressed for time and are  in remote places where there are not many Vadhyars and also community members to get together and perform this at a common place.  Atleast on this day, it would be better if the members and devotees of our community come together at a place like a Temple, Community Halls, River banks, Veda Patasala etc and perform Avani Avittam, and attain the blessings of the Almighty. This would also serve our community to get together and stronger and save our ancient traditions and culture and do Dharma Karyams.

In case of difficulty or break ups in audio streaming, please download the entire mp3 to your local drive and play.

" Athi krura maha kaya, kalpanthahanopama,

Bairavaya namasthubhyam anujnam dathu marhasi"

 

Summary meaning:Here again apart from locating oneself with reference to time , one locates himself with reference to place also.We are supposed to live in Jambu Dweepa, Bharatha Kanda which is south of the great mountain Maha meru.Then again this Bhasratha Kanda is blessed with many holy rivers and holy places.Then prayer is done to God to pardon sins committed by word, thought and deed, because this was done inspite of his great grace which made us be born as human beings after several wheels of birth.Also the sins performed during several ages in life is highlighted.Some of the sins specifically mentioned are those done while earning money without conscience, giving money to improper people, actions which did not suit the caste we are born in, sins due to non performance of actions which ought to have been done and so on. We pray God and tell him that we would take bath in holy pure water and then start the veda parayanas which is our duty as Brahmin.

 

5.Yagnopaveetha dharana manthram

 

After bath change the poonal by reciting following mantra.(Please note that now a days very rarely people take bath after mahaa sankalpam but do prokshana snanam i.e bath by sprikling of water on the head).

 

( Mantram for wearing Poonal)

b.Om Bhoo…………..Bhoorbhavaswarom

c.Mamo partha samastha duritha kshya dwara sri paameshwara preethyartham

Agriyam prathi muncha shubram yagnopaveetham balamasthu theja.

 

f.After wearing all poonals one by one do Aachamanam

g.Remove the old poonals and break them to pieces by reciting

2,Shklaama baradharam

3.Om bhoo

4.Mamo partha samastha durida kshya dwara sri parameshwata preethyartham sravanyaam pournamaasyam adhyoyapakrama karmangam kanda rishi tharpanam karishye.

Wear poonal as garland and do tharpanam using water mixed with thil (black gingely) and akshatha

Each manthra has to be chanted thrice and tharpanam done.

 

1.Prajapathim kanda rishim tharpayami

2,Somam kanda rishim tharpayami

3.Agnim kanda rishim tharpayami

4.Viswaan devaan kanda rishim tharpayaami

5.Saahinkeer devatha upanishadha tharpayami

Summary meaning:Tharpanam means really satisfying.By this tharpanam we satisfy the rishi(sages) of Soma(moon), Agni(fire), Viswaan devan(all gods looking after earth), etc.

 

7.Vedarambham

Though these are essential part of Avani avittam ,

7. Chant Vedic manthras

Rigvedam (Om Agnimeele............)

Yajurvedam (Om Ishe Tworje ......)

Samavedam(Om Agna Aayahi........)

Atharvavedam(Om shanno.............)

I am not giving this because Vedic manthraas are very diffcult to transliterate in to English and reading them wrongly would be counter productive.(It is Strongly Recommended that the Veda Mantras must be pronounced as per Gurus Directions).

 

8. Gaayathri japam (30-8-2015)

For Yajur, Rig and Sama Vedis

 

1.Aachamanam...

2,Shuklaam baradharam + Shantaye...
