How did Shraaddha originate? It is essential to know how Shraaddha originated in the world initially. It is said to be stipulated in the Anushasana Parva, 138th chapter of the great epic Mahabharata. Here, I'm sharing an article that I read about this. A sage named Atri was born from Brahma. That sage had a son named Dattatreya. He had a son named Nimi. He was a great ascetic. He had a son named Sriman. He was a great ascetic and during his thousand-year-long penance, he died one day. Overwhelmed by grief at the loss of his son, Nimi performed the last rites for his body and was deeply distressed by the calamity that had befallen him. After making many preparations with sorrow, he fell asleep that night. Upon waking up at dawn, he began to think about what to do next. At that time, a thought occurred to him that inviting some Brahmins and offering them a meal would bring satisfaction to his son's soul. He felt this was a very good idea to consider. When the time came, he gather

Panchakavya is a compound word formed by "Pancha," which means five, and "Kavya," which means a mixture. It is derived from cow's dung and has significant meanings. Each of its components, including curd, is distinct and possesses different tastes and qualities. The combination of these ingredients results in an excellent tonic. Panchakavya is prepared by obtaining five primary ingredients from cows: 1) Cow dung  2) Cow urine 3) Milk  4) Ghee  5) Curd.  When these five elements are mixed correctly, Panchakavya is formed.  Panchakavya plays a crucial role in Hindu rituals, Ayurveda, organic farming, and agriculture. It is used to make beneficial manure for crops, helping them grow vigorously. Further increases the body's disease-fighting capability. When performing Abhishekam with Panchakavya, various benefits are obtained.  Panchamrit: Health, longevity  Panchatayir: Traditional blessings  Panchamney: Prosperity  Gomutram: Removing negativity  Gomay: Purific

Vaikunda Ekadasi Pagal Pattu is a significant event celebrated on the 9th day of the Utsavam in SriRangam, known as Muthukuri Thirunaal. On this auspicious day, Namperumal, the presiding deity of SriRangam, comes out of His moolastaanam (sanctum sanctorum) to the Arjuna Mandapa, adorned in a majestic array of pearls. The reason behind this attire is not explicitly mentioned, but the use of pearls may signify the Lord's opulence and divine beauty. During the Araiyar Sevai, the temple singers (Araiyars) recite, explain, and re-enact Thirumangai Azwar's Pasuram called Thirunedutaandakam in the eloquent Muthamizh (combination of prose, music, and drama). Thirunedutaandakam is a poem portraying the Nayakan-Nayaki Bhavam (Hero-Heroine relationship) between Perumal (Lord) and Thirumangai Azwar. In this Pasuram, the heroine (Thirumangai Azwar) and her mother have just returned from Srirangam, and the young girl appears pale, as if enchanted by love. The concerned mother seeks the help

Lord Namperumal/Ranganatha of Srirangam is renowned for his unique and specific walking styles. Carrying a pallaki (palanquin) in a temple may seem like an easy task, but in reality, it requires a lot of practice and skill. The individuals who carry the Deity are referred to as "Sripadams," and they are considered to be the walking feet of the Lord himself. These walking styles have been preserved in some ancient temples, where the tradition of walking in different styles continues. The following are the four famous walking styles: Simha Gati/Walking like a Lion - The Lord is carried in this style, where he looks around like a lion before moving forward, just like how a lion behaves after stepping out of its den. Gaja Gati/Walking like an Elephant - The Lord sways gently while being carried, resembling the swaying motion of an elephant's head while it walks. Hamsa Gati/Walking like a Swan - When accompanied by his consorts, the Lord carries himself elegantly in a style si

Pirandai Vajram -Pirandai stated that it becomes a powder in Sarra (a type of pot). It has the most potent substance in the world, which has the ability to dress up carbon atoms, making it unique for its medicinal properties! Day by day, the popularity of the herbal medicine "Pirandai" is increasing as the experts say that it has strong medicinal properties, including its ability to treat joint pain caused by arthritis. Massaging the body with sesame oil and consuming Pirandai can provide numerous health benefits, even if we are unable to identify the best medicinal properties of the herbs around us. Pirandai has a triangular shape with thorns and round leaves. It has a reddish-brown stem with small nodes. When the stem touches the skin, it causes a tingling sensation. If the stem is held from the ankle to half the calf length, it is considered to be of the female gender. If the stem is held from the ankle to one full calf length, it is considered to be of the male gender. Pi

Veena Ekantha Seva in SriRangam has been a unique observance for nearly 1000 years. During the ten days following Vaikunta Ekadashi, this special ritual takes place as Lord Namperumal (Utsava murthy) returns to Moolastanam from the 1000 pillar mandapam, where He visits every afternoon. Every night during these ten days, when the Lord returns, the Veena is played in a standing position. As He is brought inside the Sanctum from the Dwaja Sthambam, the Veenas are played. The Veena Ekantha Seva usually starts around 9 PM or later, depending on the Lord's return time. To keep the Lord comfortable in the winter, He is adorned with a thin, see-through shawl, and His garland is loosened. Devotees and kainkaryaparas fan Him during this time. According to the Brihaddaranyaka Upanishad, when the Veena is played to the Lord, there should be absolute silence. Therefore, an announcement is made just before the Veenas begin to request silence. During the Veena Ekantha Seva, verses from Divya Prab

Many ages ago, the "Saptarishi" (Seven Rishi) sought the essence of language from Maharudradeva. In response, Maharudradeva played His Damaru fourteen times, giving rise to the primordial sound "Aum" and thirteen other syllables collectively known as Maheswara Sutra. These syllables formed the foundation of the Sanskrit language and became the basis of Sanskrit grammar, as documented by the Sage Panini. The exact time of Panini's existence is challenging to determine, but it is estimated to be around 500 BC, and he is believed to have lived near present-day Attock, near Islamabad. Among the Saptarishis, the Four Sanat Kumara brothers received the sound as "Brahma Vidya" (Absolute Wisdom), while the other three – Patanjali, Panini, and Katyayana – perceived it as grammar formulas. Sage Patanjali also interpreted it as Yoga Sutra. Panini and Katyayana structured Sanskrit grammar as we know it today, and their work is referred to as "Aksarasamamnaya&

A unique experience on Panguni Uthiram day: Every morning at 6 o'clock, Namperumal leaves from His abode and returns to Srirangam the same day. Even when He goes out, within a day, Namperumal would return to His original place, where He had started. Today is the tenth day since He left, and He has completed the trip. Today, with the grandeur of Sri Vaishnavas, Namperumal returned to the temple, commencing His journey from Chitra Street. On one side, the devotees, including maidservants, gathered at the entrance to witness Namperumal's return. The entrance to the shrine of the Goddess opened, and outside the temple, a certain person stood with great excitement, waving his hand like a child, eagerly waiting to see Lord Ranganatha. The joyous moment has come when the doors open, and he is delighted to see the Lord's divine form. As soon as Sakkarathazhvar's shrine door opened, he started swaying his body, indicating the arrival of the King. After that, with great joy, he j
