*Dhanvantri pooja*: On this day lord Dhanvantri got amrutham from the sea .He blesses us with good health.Lets pray him with this moola mantra slokam . Slokam: *Om namo bhagavathe vasudevaya dhanvantreye amrutha kalassa hastaya sarva ammaya * *vinasaya trilokya nadhaya sri maha vishnuve namaha:* On the same day night its a tradition to keep yama deepam and pray to lord yama dharma raja and light deepas. *Deepavali:* People get up early morning b/w 4-5 and do *Ganga snanam* with gingely oil. *Procedure to apply oil and have Ganga snanam*: We need to take a cup or vessel fill with as much oil that is enough for every body in the family ( do not use seperate cups for each person.All members of the family should use the same cup).This is to depict strength & unity in the family . Before applying oil keep 7 dots with the oil in the thigh or fore arm and tell the slokam given below and join the dots as to make a line.Now apply oil all over the body and take a bath.Every body in the house can do this procedure. *Slokam to chant while keeping 7 dots and joining them:* *Slokam*: Ashwatama bali vyasaha hanumancha vibheeshanaha kripaha parasu ramascha sapthaithey siranjeevanaha *Meaning *The 7 dots depicts 7 great chiranjeevis ( boon of everlasting longevity). By doing this we get their blessings for good health and longevity. It is believed that on diwali day: lakshmi nivasam in gingelly oil Ganga nivasam in hot water Amritam sweets Maha vishnu nivasam new clothes Paramathma in deepam Only on diwali day Ganga devi enters everyone's house to destroy their sins as she is so merciful.She knows that everyone is not fortunate to go to kasi.Lets praise her . Then as usual we wear new clothes distribute sweets to near and dear .Most important we do lakshmi pooja in the evening. Diwali is a festival of lights. Lets all pray the light that removes the darkness of hatred, selfishness, jealously and bring light of faith, kindness, <http://www.indusladies.com/forums/#> love & affection. ============================================================== -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [?] 09360069227 http://gansripar.blogspot.com ============================ अनन्याश्चिन्तयन्तो मां ये जनाः पर्युपासते । तेषां नित्याभियुक्तानां योगक्षेमं वहाम्यहम् ॥ ============================ "alternate e-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED]" There are no miracles in life.
