Maha shivratri 2012 May lord shiva bless u all.

Maha Shivaratri is celebrated throughout the country; it is particularly popular in Uttar Pradesh. Maha Shivratri falls on the day of the dark half of ‘Phalgun’ (this time 23 Feb) The name means "the night of Shiva". The ceremonies take place chiefly at night. This is a festival observed in honour of Lord Shiva and it is believed that on this day Lord Shiva was married to Parvati. On this festival people worship ‘Shiva - the Destroyer’. This night marks the night when Lord Shiva danced the ‘Tandav’. In Andhra Pradesh, pilgrims throng the Sri Kalahasteshwara Temple at Kalahasti and the Bharamarambha Malikarjunaswamy Temple at Srisailam.

Shivaratri falls on the moonless 14th night of the new moon in the Hindu month of Phalgun, which corresponds to the month of February - March in English Calendar. Celebrating the festival of Shivaratri devotees observe day and night fast and perform ritual worship of Shiva Lingam to appease Lord Shiva.

Legends of Mahashivratri

There are various interesting legends related to the festival of Maha Shivaratri. According to one of the most popular legends, Shivaratri marks the wedding day of Lord Shiva and Parvati. Some believe that it was on the auspicious night of Shivaratri that Lord Shiva performed the ‘Tandava’, the dance of the primal creation, preservation and destruction. Another popular Shivratri legend stated in Linga Purana states that it was on Shivaratri that Lord Shiva manifested himself in the form of a Linga. Hence the day is considered to be extremely auspicious by Shiva devotees and they celebrate it as Mahashivaratri - the grand night of Shiva.

Traditions and Customs of Shivaratri

Various traditions and customs related to Shivaratri Festival are dutifully followed by the worshippers of Lord Shiva. Devotees observe strict fast in honor of Shiva, though many go on a diet of fruits and milk some do not consume even a drop of water. Devotees strongly believe that sincere worship of Lord Shiva on the auspicious day of Shivaratri, absolves a person of sins and liberates him from the cycle of birth and death. Shivaratri is considered especially auspicious for women. While married women pray for the well being of their husbands unmarried women pray for a husband like Lord Shiva, who is regarded as the ideal husband.

Lord Shiva Prayer

Naagendra haaraaya thriloochanaaya bhasmaangadhaaraaya maheshwaraaya
Nityaaya shudhdhaaya digambaraaya tasmai nakaaraaya namahshivaaya

Meaning:

Salutations to Shiva who wears a serpent as garland, who is three-eyed, whose bare body is covered with ashes, who is forever pure and the very embodiment of sacrifice.
The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra

The following Maha Mrityunjay Mantra has been taken from the Sukla Yajurveda Samhita III. 60. The Mantra is addressed to Lord Shiva and is a centuries old technique of connecting one to pure consciousness and bliss.

Om Tryambakam Yajamahe
Sugandhim Pusti - vardhanam |
Urva - rukamiva Bandhanan
Mrtyor - muksheeya Ma - amritat ||

Meaning:

Om. We worship The Three-Eyed Lord Shiva who is fragrant and who increasingly nourishes the devotees. Worshipping him may we be liberated from death for the sake of immortality just as the ripe cucumber easily separates itself from the binding stalk.

Explanation:

The mantra is a prayer to Lord Shiva who is addressed as Sankara and Trayambaka. Sankara is sana (blessings) and Kara (the Giver). Trayambaka is the three eyed one (where the third eye signifies the giver of knowledge, which destroys ignorance and releases us from the cycle of death and rebirth).

Best Time to Chant

Chanting the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra with sincerity, faith and devotion in Bramha Muhurata is very beneficial. But one can also do Maha Mrityunjaya japa anytime in a pure environment with great benefit and discover the happiness that's already within.

Shivaratri Fast

Shivaratri FastShivaratri Fast is considered to be the most important fast for the devotees of Lord Shiva. Shiva Purana goes on to say that if a devotee observes Shivaratri Vrata with sincerity, pure devotion and love he is blessed with the divine grace of Lord Shiva. Every year devotees observe Maha Shivaratri fast with devotion and sincerity. Though many go on a diet of fruits and milk, some do not consume even a drop of water all through the day and night of Shivaratri Festival.

Shivaratri Rituals

Shivaratri RitualsDevotees of Lord Shiva observe the Shivaratri Festival by following the prescribed rituals with sincerity and devotion. All through the day, devotees abstain from eating food and break their fast only the next morning, after the nightlong worship. Ritual baths of Shivalinga in the numerous Shiva temples by Shiva worshipper, mainly women, is another significant feature of Shivratri customs and traditions. Devotees strongly believe that ritual worship of Lord Shiva on the auspicious day of Shivaratri absolves them of past sins and they are blessed with Moksha.

Rituals Observed on a Shivaratri Morning

As a tradition devotees wake up early in the morning of the Mahashivratri day and take a ritual sunrise bath, preferably in the holy waters of river Ganga. They also offer prayers to the Sun God, Vishnu and Shiva as a part of a purification rite observed on all-important Hindu festivals. After wearing fresh new clothes devotees visit the nearest Shiva Temple to give the customary bath to the Shivalinga.

On a Shivratri day, Shiva temples are thronged by devotees, mainly women, who come to perform the traditional Shivalinga pooja and seek blessings from the god. At times there is so much rush in the temples that devotees have to wait for their turn to observe pooja. At their turn for worship, devotees circumambulate the Shivalinga, three or seven times, and then pour water over it. Some also pour milk. Sounds of bell and shouts of ‘Shankarji ki Jai’ or (Hail Shiva) reverberate in the temple premises.

Ritual Bath of Shivalinga

Following the rituals prescribed in the Shiva Purana, every three hours, Shivalingam is given a special bath with milk, yoghurt, honey, sandalwood paste and rose water. Puja, meditation and chanting of ‘Om Namah Shivaya’ accompany the ritual bath. Following the bath, vermilion paste is applied on the linga. Traditionally, leaves of a forest tree Aegle marmelos (bilwa, maredu, wood apple) are used for Shiva puja. Thereafter, Bilwa leaves, which have to be a stalk with three leaves, is kept on top of the Shivalinga. Ber or jujube fruit is a special offering to the god on this day. Beetle leaves are also offered by some. Some also offer bilwa leaves in the belief that the Goddess Lakshmi resides in them. Others believe it is offered for its cooling effects on the hot-tempered deity. Many devotees also decorate the linga with flowers and garlands and offer incense sticks and fruit.

Significance of Puja Items

* According to the Shiva Purana, there is a special significance of the six essential puja items used in the Shiva worship.
* Bathing of Shivalinga with water, milk and honey and wood apple or bel leaves added to it, represents purification of the soul.
* The vermilion paste applied on the linga after the ritual bath represents virtue.
* Offering of fruits symbolizes longevity and gratification of desires.
* Burning of incense sticks yields wealth.
* The lighting of the lamp symbolizes attainment of knowledge.
* Offering of betel leaves marks satisfaction with worldly pleasures.

All-Night Shiva Worship

Worship of Lord Shiva continues all through the night on Shivaratri Festival. Devotees stay awake all night and spend the night in Shiva temples in worship of Lord Shiva. Singing of hymns and verses in praise and devotion of Lord Shiva besides the intense chanting of Om Namah Shivay, the mantra that is said free people from all their sins, continue through the night on Shivaratri.

Special worship of Shiva by priests continues through the nightlong prayer vigil. During this ritual worship, Lord Shiva is offered special food made from the fruits of the season, root vegetables and coconuts. Those observing the Shivaratri Fast break their fast the next morning by consuming the prasad offered to Shiva.

Time is invisible and formless. Therefore Mahakal Shiva, as per the Vedas, manifested himself as "LINGUM" to make mankind aware of the presence of Eternal Time. That day when Shiva manifested himself in the form of "Lingum" was the fourth day of the dark night in the month of ‘Magha’ i.e. February-March. Maha Shivratri continues to be celebrated forever and ever.

People observe a strict fast on this day. Some devotees do not even take a drop of water and they keep vigil all night. The Shiva Lingam is worshipped throughout the night by washing it every three hours with milk, curd, honey, rose water, etc., whilst the chanting of the Mantra "Om Namah Shivaya" continues. Offerings of Bael leaves are made to the Lingam as Bael leaves are considered very sacred and it is said that Goddess Lakshmi resides in them.
He, who utters the names of Shiva during Shivratri, with perfect devotion and concentration, is freed from all sins. He reaches the abode of Shiva and lives there happily.

So freinds once again May Bhagwan Shiv bless u all.

Varalakshmi Vratam,Varalakshmi Pooja,Varalakshmi Pooja 2012

2012-01-26T22:51:00.004+05:30

Significance of Varalakshmi Pooja :-

The Hindu festival, 'Vara Lakshmi Vrata' is celebrated on the last Friday of the bright fortnight in the month of 'Shravan',in hindu calendar.It is also called Aadi, which corresponds to the English months,July-August.The Varalakshmi Vratam is an important pooja performed by many women,in the states of Andhra Pradesh,Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.This Vratam is marked with strict observance of certain practices and austerities,
Sri (Wealth), Bhu (Earth), Sarasvati (learning), Priti (love),Kirti (Fame), Santi (Peace), Tushti(Pleasure) and Pushti(Strength)are the eight forces and energies which are recognised as the "Ashta Lakshmis" (the eight Lakshmis) by the Hindus.Vishnu is called the 'Ashta Lakshmi Padhi',means the asylum for the eight-Lakshmis.

In fact, the Lord Vishnu radiates these forces from him,which are worshipped as Lakshmis, since abstract force is beyond the comprehension of the ordinary people.It is beleived that the worship of Lakshmi gives the energies of health, wealth and prosperity.Since Lakshmi is a woman,she will surely sympathise with women and bless them with these forces and energies.Hence this Vratam is observed largely by women, invoking the blessings of Lakshmi on them and their families.This vratam has also blessed many women with children.

Eight forces or energies are recognised and they are known as Sri (Wealth), Bhu (Earth), Sarasvati (learning), Priti (love), Kirti (Fame), Santi (Peace), Tushti(Pleasure) and Pushti(Strength). Each one of these forces is called a Lakshmi and all the eight forces are called the Ashta Lakshmis or the eight Lakshmis of the Hindus. Vishnu is also called Ashta Lakshmi Padhi which is equivalent to saying that he is the asylum for the eight-Lakshmis or forces. In fact, Vishnu representing the preservative aspect of the universe, radiates these forces from him. These forces are personified and worshipped as Lakshmis, since abstract force is beyond the comprehension of the ordinary people. As health, wealth and prosperity depend upon the rythmic play of these forces, the worship of Lakshmi is said to be to obtain these three. Only a woman can sympathise with women. Lakshmi is a woman. So she will more readily sympathise with women. Hence this festival is observed largely by women, invoking the blessings of Lakshmi on them, their husbands and their children.

"Padmaasane Padmakare sarva lokaika poojithe Narayana priyadevi supreethaa bhava sarvada"

On this festival,the house is cleaned and rangoli is drawn in front of the houses.Women and girls tie yellow threads around their wrists. Thamboolam is given to other married women, who are invited to the house on the occasion.The woman performing the puja observes a fast and different types of sweets are offered to the Goddess.

A coconut smeared with turmeric and vermilion on the kalasha (bronze or silver vessel) is decorated the with a new cloth.Some people decorate the kalasha with many kinds of jewels to make it look more beautiful. They place this kalasha on a plate filled with rice.A kalash filled with rice or water, coins, turmeric, a whole lime, betel leaf and nut is prepared.The Goddess Lakshmi decorated with jewels is placed against the coconut.The next morning the Goddess is welcomed to the specially installed pandal ,by singing the songs of "VaraLakshmi". The main puja begins by worshiping Lord Ganesha,who is believed to remove all the obstacles and evil forces.Later, goddess Mahalakshmi is invoked into the kalasha.Then a couple of torams (a bunch of nine threads with nine knots) is worshipped and tied one to the kalasha while the other one is tied around the right hand wrist of the lady performing the pooja.

Later,the "Lakshmi Ashtottara Shatanamam" is chanted,followed by offering nine varieties of delicacies including both sweets and savories.Finally,prayers are sung, in the praise of goddess Varalakshmi and also other married woman is invited honouring her as a goddess Varalakshmi and offer her sweets. In the evening,all the neighboring laides are invited to their homes and "Tamboolam"(an offering consisting of betel leaves, fruits, betel nuts, vermilion, turmeric and dakshina) is offered to them.The women together sing the songs in praise of goddess Varalakshmi.

Charumati was also advised to worship and observe the Friday of Shravana month preceding the full moon day.When Charumathi told about her dream to her family and others,she was encouraged by all to perform the Vratam.Soon,several other women also joined her in performing the pooja in a traditional way and worshipped Goddess Varalakshmi.

Objective

The objective of ISRO (Indian Research Space Organization) is to develop space technology and its application to various national tasks. Accordingly Indian Research Space Organization(ISRO) has successfully operationalised two major sattelite systems namely Indian national Sattelites(INSAT) for communication services and Indian Remote Sensing(IRS) sattelites for management for natural resources; also, Polar Sattelite Launch Vehicle(PSLV) for launching IRS type of sattelite and Geostationary Sattelite Launch Vehicle(GSLV) for INSAT type of sattelites.

1. Introduction to Chandrayaan-1

Chandrayaan-1, India’s first scientific mission to Moon is slated for launch during 2007.

The primary objectives of the mission are to expand the scientific knowledge about the origin and evolution of moon, upgrade India’s technological capabilities and provide challenging opportunities to the young scientists working in planetary sciences.

Pursuit of space science is one of the important objectives of the Indian Space Programme. The Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) was established near Thiruvananthapuram in 1963 for studying the ionospheric electrojet and related phenomenon, which paved the way for space research activities in the country. Also, the first Indian satellite, Aryabhata, launched in 1975, carried scientific experiments to investigate X-ray astronomy, Solar neutrons and supra thermal electron density. Since then, several instruments for scientific research have been flown on board high altitude balloons, sounding rockets and satellites. Several ground based facilities have also been set up for conducting research by scientists from universities and research institutions in astrophysical, solar and atmospheric research programmes.

India has vast experience in developing and launching operational spacecraft systems for survey and management of natural resources, meteorological services and satellite communication. The technologies developed and available now at ISRO can be fully exploited for embarking on planetary missions with well thought out scientific objectives. The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) is capable of undertaking missions to moon and other terrestrial planets.

The idea of undertaking a scientific mission to Moon was mooted by the Indian Academy of Sciences. It was further discussed by the Astronautical Society of India. Based on recommendations of the scientific community and as a first major initiative, a National Lunar Mission Task Force was constituted by ISRO with leading scientists and technologists from all over the country for considering and making an assessment of the possible configuration and feasibility of taking up an Indian Moon Mission. The task team conducted a feasibility study and recommended the Indian lunar mission detailing scientific objectives, instruments to be flown, launch and spacecraft technologies that are available and those to be developed, setting up of a Deep Space Network (DSN) station for communication between lunar craft and earth and budgetary aspects.

The Study Report of the Task Team was reviewed in April 2003 by a peer group of about 100 eminent scientists from various relevant fields of planetary & space physics, earth sciences, geology, physics, astronomy and cosmology. After detailed discussions, the participants unanimously recommended that India should undertake the Moon Mission.

The recommendations are summarized as follows:

The Indian Moon Mission assumes significance in the context of the international scientific community considering several exciting missions in planetary exploration, in the new millennium.

ISRO has the necessary expertise to develop and launch the Moon Mission with imaginative features and it would be different from the past missions. Hence ISRO should go ahead with the project approval and implementation.

Apart from technological and scientific gains, it would provide the needed thrust to basic science and engineering research in the country. The project would help return of young talents to the arena of fundamental research.

The Academia, in particular, the university scientists would find participation in such a project intellectually rewarding. In this context, the scientific objectives would need further refinement to include other innovative ideas from a broader scientific community through Announcement of Opportunity, etc.

Subsequently, Government of India has approved ISRO's proposal for the first Indian Moon Mission, called Chandrayaan-1.

2. Scientific Objectives

Chandrayaan-1 is aimed at chemical, mineralogical and photo-geologic mapping of the moon in visible, near infrared, low energy and high energy X-rays with high spatial resolution. Specifically, the objectives will be to carry out high-resolution three-dimensional mapping of topographic features along with the simultaneous mapping of distribution of minerals such as Si, Al, Mg, Ca, Ilmenites (FeTiO3, which may retain 3He) and elemental chemical species including radioactive nuclides. This mapping could unravel the mysteries about the origin and evolution of the planetary system in general and moon-earth system in particular. The instruments that will be used for the mapping are:

Terrain Mapping stereo Camera (TMC)

Hyper Spectral Imager (HySI)

Lunar Laser Ranging Instrument (LLRI)

Collimated Low Energy X-ray spectrometer (LEX)

Solar X-ray Monitor (SXM)

High Energy X-ray/g-ray spectrometer (HEX)

In addition to the above Indian payloads, a provision of 10 kg is made for international/national proposals on new ideas and experiments.

3. About Moon

Looming at about 384,400 km from the Earth, the Moon is the brightest object in the night sky and only second in brightness to that of the Sun. It has a diameter of 3,476 km and a mass of 7.35x1022 kg with a mean density of only 3.35 g/cc as compared to 5.52 g/cc of that of Earth. It has no atmosphere and degassing from the surface produces only trace gases. The gravitational force on the Moon is only 1/6th of that of Earth, and is not able to retain its atmosphere. The Moon does not have a substantial core of molten iron like Earth and hence has no magnetic field. The Moon undergoes extremes in temperature - it is scorching heat at 110º C during the day and freezing cold at -180º C during night.

An eclipse occurs at those times when the Moon moves into a position of direct alignment with the Sun and the Earth. A solar eclipse can occur only at New Moon when the Moon passes between Earth and Sun.

If the Moon's shadow happens to fall upon Earth's surface at that time, we see some portion of the Sun's disk covered or eclipsed by the Moon. Whereas lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun and the Moon are on opposite sides of the Earth and the full Moon passes through the shadow of the Earth. The solar and lunar eclipses are truly spectacular celestial phenomenon.

The low and high tides due to the gravitational effects of Sun and the Moon are well known phenomena affecting day-to-day life.

An interesting fact is that the Moon's rotation period around its axis and revolution period around the Earth takes the same time of about 27 days and hence the same side of Moon is permanently facing the Earth. The time taken from one new Moon to another new Moon (synodic period) is about 29 days.

So far there has been no indication of life existing on Moon. The Moon's surface is generally dry, dusty and rocky. The rocky crust is about 60 km thick on the near side that faces the Earth and about 107 km on the far side. Moon's terrain is divided into two sharply contrasting areas - the rugged and very ancient mountainous - Highlands regions and smooth younger lowland Maria regions.

While Earth's mountain ranges are formed by movements and coming closer of crust sections pushing against each other (known as plate tectonics), the lunar highlands did not result from an active uplifting process due to crustal dynamics. But its surface has been periodically bombarded with different sizes of meteorites and asteroids. During the initial period of lunar evolution, such giant meteor impacts resulted in the creation of flatlands or lunar basins. The regions not affected by these giant impacts are the lunar highlands.

Ancient observers thought that the round and dark areas on the face of the Moon are seas, which they called Maria (Latin word for seas). Maria are not seas at all but relatively flat areas produced by massive flow of lava from earlier period of lunar volcanism.Maria comprises 16 percent of the Moon's surface and has huge impact basins. They are concentrated in the near side of the Moon. Associated with the Lunar Maria are gravity anomalies called mascons (mass concentrations). A spacecraft would accelerate as it nears the Maria region and decelerate as it move away due to such gravitational anomalies.

The Moon is covered with a gently rolling layer of powdery soil and rock fragments called the regolith, which is made of debriscreated by the meteor impacts forming the craters. Such craters are the remains of collisions between an asteroid, comet or meteorite and the Moon. The size, mass, speed and angle of the falling object determine the size, shape and complexity of resulting craters. Surface of the Moon is scarred with millions of impact craters and the record has been retained on Moon's surface.

One striking difference between the lunar surface material and that of Earth concerns the most common kinds of rocks. On the Earth the most common rocks are sedimentary because of atmospheric and water erosion of the surface. On the Moon there is no atmosphere and little or no water, and the most common kind of rock is igneous (fire-formed-rocks).According to studies, North Polar Region (Courtesy: NASA) the lunar surface material has the following geological characteristics:

The Maria are mostly composed of dark basalts which are formed from rapid cooling of molten rocks from massive lava flows.

The Highlands rocks are largely Anorthosite, which is a kind of igneous rock that forms when lava cools more slowly than in the case of basalts.

Breccias are fragments of different rocks compacted and welded together by meteoric impacts and are found in Maria and Highlands.

The Moon has either a very small core rich in iron ore or no core at all.

Analysis of lunar rock samples indicate that

The rocks are rich in Calcium (Ca), Aluminium (Al) and Titanium (Ti)

There is high abundance of Silicon (Si) and Oxygen (O)

There is a relative abundance of 3He on the Moon, compared with Earth. This may be due to the fact that over the four billion year history of the Moon, several hundred million tons of solar 3He have impacted directly onto the surface of the Moon and got trapped in minerals such as Ilmenite (a compound of iron and titanium; FeTiO3).

The abundance of radioactive elements in rock samples can be used to determine the age of the rocks in a process called Radioactive dating. Using such techniques on lunar samples brought back by the Apollo missions, it has been found that the oldest material from the surface of the Moon is almost as old as we believe the Solar system to be that is 5 billion years. Thus the material brought back from the Moon by Apollo missions provides a window on the very early history of our Solar system that would be difficult to find on the Earth, which is geologically active and has consequently obliterated its early geological features.Seismic S waves apparently do not traverse the region below the zone of Moonquakes, suggesting that this material has very low shear strength, possibly containing some liquid.

4. Origin of Moon

The origin of the Moon is still not clearly understood and there have been speculations about its origin how it was formed and how it acquired its present orbit around the Earth. Studies using the chemical, mineralogical, isotopic and chronological data led to postulation of five major theories on the origin of the Moon:

The Fission Theory:At some time in the distant past, the Moon had separated from the Earth. Perhaps the Earth was not as round then as it is today and that imbalance caused it to split in two.

The Capture Theory:
The Moon was formed somewhere in the solar system and was later captured by the gravitational field of the Earth.

The Co-accretion Theory:
The Earth and Moon may have been formed at the same time from solar nebula by co-accretion.The Colliding Planetesimal Theory: Moon condensed from the debris of the interaction of Earth-orbiting and Sun-orbiting planetesimals (very large chunks of rocks like asteroids) early in the history of the solar system.

The Giant Impact Theory:
A planetesimal of Mars size had impact with the Earth, early in its history, ejecting large volume of matter from the evolving Earth, which aggregated and formed the Moon.

5. Early Interest

Through the ages Moon has been the heavenly body, which sparked the imagination of mankind more than the planets in our solar system. In the distant past our ancestors looked up to the sky with awe and wonder. At the beginning of recorded history, the passage of time was decided by observing the positions and phases of the Moon. The idea that the Moon was not perfectly smooth can be traced back to 450 B.C. At approximately the same time the Greek astronomer, Hipparchus, using observations and mathematical formulae measured the distance to the Moon as well as the Sun with surprising accuracies. In the Vedic period (1500-500 B.C.), Indian astronomers had determined the orbit of the Moon precisely and based on the phases of the Moon, developed the lunar calendar which is used even now. The Indian astronomer Aryabhata (~500 A.D), after whom the first Indian satellite was named, was one of the early scholars who determined the Moon’s size and distance accurately.

Geopolitical and economic considerations during the 1960s and 1970s compelled India to initiate its own launch vehicle program. During the first phase (1960s-1970s) the country successfully developed a sounding rockets program, and by the 1980s, research had yielded the Satellite Launch Vehicle-3 and the more advanced Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle (ASLV), complete with operational supporting infrastructure. ISRO further applied its energies to the advancement of launch vehicle technology resulting in the creation of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) technologies.
