Deepa Pooja

 

January 28, 2011

For more than 10 years consecutively, SriSringeri Shankara Math, Pune branch has been conducting the Deepa Puja in a grand manner. This pooja is performed twice in an year i.e., in one of the Fridays in the first months of Uttarayanam (15th January to 15th February) and Dakshinayanam (15th July to 15th August). A total number of  100 suvasinis participate and perform the deepa puja in Sri Sharadamba sannidhi at our branch math.

A nominal Kannikai of Rs.101 is accepted by advance registration from 100 Suvasinis.

Sri Shardamba is worshipped in the oil lit lamp with 16 Upacharas. Soubhagya dravyas like turmeric, betel leaves, glass bangles are offered. Sri Lalita sahasranama archana is done with kumkuma by each suvasini. This is followed by mahaprasadam to all.  The benefit of such satsang pooja is that each participant derives the benefit of the total namavali recited i.e., each participant of the pooja derives the benefit of having performed Laksharchana (100 Suvasinis × 1008 Namavalis each).

The present deepa puja is scheduled on Friday, 4th February, 2011. All are requested to participate in the event and be blessed by Goddess Sri Sharadamba. For further information, please do get in touch with Dharmadhikari at pune@branch.sringeri.net

 
  • The Self (Atma) is never born nor does It ever die; neither does It cease to exist after having once existed nor does the Self come into existence, like the body, having not existed before. Unborn, eternal, It undergoes no change whatsoever and is primeval; It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • A person who hears about the condemnation of another incurs sin. What need be said about the sin incurred by a man who actually engages in nit picking? Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Prabodha Sudhakara
  • If you pray with faith and devotion, the Lord will certainly listen to your earnest prayers. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Our nation and its culture have a hoary past and we should all be proud of it. Mere aping of the West is not beneficial for us. For example, care of aged parents is something that has come down to us traditionally and we must never neglect this duty by imbibing concepts of some free societies, wherein concern for one’s own parents is at low ebb. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is a great blunder not to make proper use of the body and mind that has been given to us by God. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
