Upanayanam Ceremony

 

Upanayanam is one of the most important Samskārās in a person’s life. “Upa” means ‘close’ and “Nayana” means ‘to bring’. Upanayanam means to bring closer to the Guru or Divine. Upanayanam also called the ‘sacred thread ceremony’ is a ceremony performed to mark the point at which children began their formal education in the Vedic tradition.

Upanayanam is traditionally seen as getting a new birth in the spiritual world towards the higher knowledge of the Self. It is an initiation process to learning the sacred chants and mantras according to the Vedic tradition. Upanayanam ceremony is complete with the wearing of the Yajnopavitam (Sacred Thread) on the body. The child is initiated into the most sacred Gayatri mantra in the Brahmopadesham ceremony. He is taught the Sandhyāvandanam.

The Gayatri mantra is a prayer to invoke brilliance and purity in our intellect and consciousness. The three threads in the Yagnopaveetam represent the responsibility towards the one self, family and society. During Upanayanam, the great Gayatri Mantra is imparted to the participant as it is considered as the greatest of all upadesams and is called “Brahmopadesam”.

Maha Shivratri is the day when the Shiva Tattva touches the earth. The consciousness, the aura or the ethereal world which is always ten inches above the material ground, touches the earth element on the day of Maha Shivratri. It is the wedding of the material with the spiritual.

Shivratri is taking refuge in the divine consciousness which brings peace and solace to all layers of consciousness. So resting in the Shiva Tattva is Shivratri.

The Significance of Maha Shivratri

According to the Shiva Purana when Shiva was asked by Parvati, what pleases him the most, he is supposed to have replied, ‘The 14th night of the new moon, of the month of Phalgun is my favorite day.’ This is known as Shivratri.

Ratri means ‘to take refuge’. Shivratri is taking refuge in Shiva, in the soul. It is celebrating the Shiva Tatva within oneself.

We celebrate maha shivaratri every year at Art of Living Center, Shankhamul.

The Significance of Navratri!

“The word ‘Ratri’ means deep rest or relief from three ‘tapas’, three types of fire or botherations- the physical, the subtle, and the conscious. A deep rest can relieve you from all these three botherations.

It’s a time of prayer and rejuvenation. A child is born in nine months. These nine days are like coming out of a mother’s womb once again. Having a new birth.”

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

At the time of Dashain (Navratri). We regularly celebrate Navratri in Vedic Style by doing puja nad homa at Art of Living Park, Shankhamul.

Rudra Pooja is an ancient practice followed in sanatana dharma since time immemorial. ‘Rudra’ means ‘Shiva – the Benevolent’, ‘ the Destroyer of Evil’. ‘Pooja’ means that which is born out of fullness. Through this Pooja one can aim for inner peace and fulfillment. In this Pooja, Lord Shiva is worshipped in his Rudra form.

It is hailed by all Vedic scriptures as one of the greatest Poojas to remove all evils, to attain all desires and for all-round prosperity. Scriptures on Astrology prescribe this emphatically as a remedy for several planetary doshas.

Satarudriyam or Sri Rudradhyayam is the very essence of all Veda branches (Sakhas). Hence it is also known as Sri Rudropanishad. Principally, this Rudradhyayam, which forms the fifth Prasna in the fourth Kanda of Krishna Yajurveda, is a composition describing the greatness of Sri Parameswara, with universe as his form and his transcendence beyond the manifest universe, and extolling him and seeking his grace.

We as Vedic Dharma Sansthan – Nepal conducts puja at Art of Living Center regularly.
