Aniruddha Poornima 2010

Aniruddha Poornima 2010

The long awaited day for which we all Shraddhavans wait eagerly wait for the entire year is finally to be celebrated on 21st November 2010. Yes, its the birthday of our beloved Param Poojya Aniruddha Bapu, which we better know as Aniruddha Poornima. This year's Aniruddha Poornima would be celebrated by Aniruddha Upasana Trust and its associated organisations on Sunday, 21st November 2010 as said earlier.

To remind all the readers, P. P. Bapu doesn't accept any gifts may it be in form of money, sweets, flowers, gift articles, precious metals, etc. As He has been telling us for so many years He only expects and accepts our Bhakti (Devotion), Prem (Love) and Seva (Service). The only exception to gifts being the Indian sweetmeat called as Appe which are P. P. Bapu's favourite and can certainly be offered. But again as Bapu doesn't accept anything from anyone these Appes are inturn distributed to all the visiting devotees as Prasad.

Visitors are requested to refrain from bringing Kapur (Camphor) Aarti. Also it would be great if visitors could carry an Uparna (shoulder cloth) individually. Carrying an uparna is believed to be extremely holy and helps the person to maximise his receivings of holy waves (Spandan).

Timings of the Celebrations:
Morning 10:00 am to evening 9:00 pm

Poojan to be Performed on Days of Diwali

Poojan to be Performed on Days of Diwali

The festival of Diwali (also called as Deepavali) epitomizes prosperity, happiness and lights. This is the only day in the entire Hindu calendar when a new moon day is celebrated as a festival. On the day of Diwali though the sky is devoid of moon and its light but still the entire atmosphere is always enlighten and filled with lights of different colours and shades and filled with joy, crackers and sweet smell of foodstuffs.

Our P. P. Nandai is the Goddess that precides over this entire festival inform of Goddess Mahalaxmi. She has described to us the ways in which we should perform poojan on days of Padwa and Laxmi Poojan to make them more sactious and meaning. 
Poojan to be Performed on the Day of Padwa

Shraddhavans should get up early in the morning and in the wee hours should perform the below described ritual.


* We should clean our house with broom and collect the waste on a cardboard.


* After this we should enlighten a light made from dough in which we should use ghee as fuel.


*We should then place a sweet (foodstuff) on the cardboard.


* We should then take this cardboard (with all the stuffs on it) around our entire house.


* One person should follow this person who is carrying cardboard with a plate which should be beaten to produce sound.


* We should place our old broom outside our house in a corner.


* We should then place this cardboard besides this broom.


* We should then join our hands and pray saying the following words "ईडा, पीडा टलो, बळीचे राज्ययेवो" ("Let all the unholy come to end and let there be rule of King Bali").

Poojan to be Performed on the Day of Laxmi Poojan
* We should keep 5 fruits & a mixture of coriander seeds and jaggery as holy offering (Prasad).

* We should keep a new broom on the starting line of our house (उंबरठा) and offer kumkum and turmeric powder (haldi) to it  and offer the following prayer " हे लक्ष्मीमाते - नंदामाते, तू नेहमी माझ्या चुका दाखव. आईच्या मायेने माझ्या अंगावरून हात फिरव. बहिणीसारखे वाटेतील काटे काढ, पापणिच्या केसासारखा माझ्या मनातील व घरातील कचरा काढ आणि माझ्या घरात नंदामाते मते तू सतत वावरत रहा ही तुझ्या चरणी प्रार्थना." ("Oh Goddess Lakshmi i.e. my P. P. Nandai, You always bring my mistakes to my notice. Shower love on me like my mother. Be my sister and remove obstacles in my way. Remove dirt from my house and mind like an eyelid. And finally I pray and urge You to stay in my house for ever").


Finally wishing all the readers a very happy and prosperous new year and a happy diwali. May P.P. Bapu, P.P. Nandai and P.P. Suchitmama bless you all. 
One interesting fact about Diwali which not many of us know about is Diwali is an official holiday in 9 countries which includes India, Guyana, Mauritius, Malaysia, Nepal, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Trinidad & Tobago, Myanmar, Fiji, and Suriname).

About Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu

This mission was unveiled in the year 1996 and the last fourteen years have seen numerous activities and projects grow towards its realization.

Today bhaktas of Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu have transcended all barriers of religion, caste, creed and nationality and spread not only across India but all over the globe. With the divine grace and inspiration of Sadguru Bapu, so many activities and projects happen constantly and so the volume of information to be communicated has increased manifold. manasamarthyadatas.com formed under the leadership and guidance of Sameer Dada, seeks to connect all bhakta friends of Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu from all over the world to the events and happenings back home.

What is it that sets him apart from others on the face of this earth? HE is indeed a SADGURU who defies convention, whose profile is unique. A qualified doctor, MD – Medicine - a Rheumatologist of repute, he was born on the most auspicious day of Kartik Pournima (Tripurari Pournima) on November 18, 1956, in the early hours of dawn, at thirty five minutes past four.

A complete family man like any of us, he lives with his wife who is most reverently addressed as Nanda Mata, and his children – his son Pauras and his daughter Shakambhari.
And so this perfect family person leading by example communicates through his own conduct that it is very much possible to achieve the highest purpose in life without in any way, turning away from worldly life. Spirituality does not in any way imply apathy towards worldly affairs. It consists in never losing sight of the fact that life is an offering unto the bhagavanta and every moment of our life is open to him. It is therefore a way of life….. a path that brings everlasting joy and peace. And that is what this unique Sadguru wants for all of His friends.

“I shall fill this world with happiness and abound with joy, all that be” Yes, that is his resolve, his wish for all of his friends and yes, that is the role He wishes to play – the role of a true friend, ‘I am not an avatar, not of anybody. I am Aniruddha….I am your friend, a friend who wants to see you happy”….
And so it will be…. as the very reassuring pledge of this ‘Friend’ is
‘You and Me firm together, nothing can stand in the way, ever!’

I Am with You, your companion, Be sure;
that All times, whatever your course.
You may, though for a rare moment, forget Me;
I will not, never, that's My word.
