QUESANSW DIVINE 2-2022-01 Dearfriends,
Theseare information posted by members compiled as QA by me in 1998’s-2004’s andstored in my computer. At this date I have no information of the membersposted. BEING COMPILATION THERE MAY BE ERRORS. Sincerely, R. Gopalakrishnan, 78, dated 01-02-2022 Q1 What are th details of Rahukalapooja? A1Although Rahu kaalam period is considered inauspicious, it is considered auspicious topray during this time. It isconsidered auspicious to light a lemon lamp to Goddess Durga on Tuesdays orFridays during the rahu kaalam period. It is believed that Goddess Durga fulfills the desires ofwomen. Women who desire to get married, who desire for a child,women who pray for a happy married life and a long life for their husbands,pray to the Goddess Durga by lighting a lemon lamp during the rahu kaalamperiod on Tuesdays or Fridays which are believed to be the days of the Devi. It’s alsosaid that there is a delay in the marriage of many girls as they might have aRahu dosha. So during Rahu kaalam elders advice to keep the lemon lamp and pray.It is a very effective parihaaram and has worked for many a people. Prayers, I believe have a deeppsychological effect of human minds. Step 1: It is believed that 3 Ripe yellow lemonshave to be taken and cut into equal halves. When you cut 3 lemons, you get 6pieces(6 halves), one is offered to Ganapati(Lord Ganesh) the remaining 5pieces to Goddess Durga The juice ofthe lemons cannot be consumed before lighting the lamp for the devi as it willbe considered as leftover(“echhal” as they say in Tamil or “jhoota” as they sayin Hindi). In some temples they have a vessel where inyou can squeeze the lemon. Step 2 : Scoop out everything inside the lemon,and turn it inside out, so it becomes like a cup. If its very wet wipe it witha tissue, a wicker or a ball of cotton shaped with a wicker on top and fill thelemon with ghee Apply somemanjal (turmeric) and kumkumam (kumkum) on both sides of the lemon. Light thelamp, praying to the Goddess simultaneously requesting her to fulfill yourwishes. For marriedladies, they must apply the kumkumam to their foreheads, to thebeginning of the partition of the hair above the forehead and to the Thali(Thirmangalyam/ Mangalyam/ Mangalsutra). This is doneas an indication that Goddess Durga will protect their married life and thelife of her husband. This is done to ward off the malefic effects ofRahu.Rahu's chief deity is Durga(Who is another form of Parvati). Goddess Durga is the ugra avatarof Goddess Parvati. When you pray to Goddess Durga, who is the presiding deityof Rahu, Rahu will be pleased and the malefic effects will be reduced. Q2 Whether the Chidambaram temple is under HR&CE ofGovt of tamilnadu? A2 TheMadras High Court very clearly had given an order that this Mandir is a "DenominatedTemple" and is independent of the Government's HR&CE. TheChidambaram Natarajar Temple is a denominated temple and its"Denomination" status had been originally conferred by the Court ofLaw during the British Period in the year 1891 and the same had been confirmedby the Supreme Court of India in the year 1958, asserting that, the micro-minority community ofDikshidars only have the traditional rights over the administration, customsand rituals of the Temple and that the HR & CE departmentdoesn't have the legal sanction to interfere in the affairs of this Temple. A few yearsback, an Executive Officer was appointed by the Govt of TN. The Dikshitars wentto court and after the Madras High Court pronounced it as illegal, theGovernment order was revoked. Q3 What is Chidambaram kanaka sabhai? A3Kanakasabhai is the Arthamandapam in Chidambaram Mandir. Kanakasabhai houses theSpatika Lingam of Chandramouleeswara along with Nandi Bhagawan and RathnaSabhapathi. This place is revered with the same sanctityreserved normally for the Garbha Griha. The rights rest only with theDikshitars to offer the traditional Pujas to the Bhagawan, including singing ofthe Thevaram from Kanakasabhai. While in allMandirs the Pujas end within the Garbha Griha, in Chidambaram, the Dikshitars rendercertain Pujas from the Arthamandapam called as the Kanakasabhai. Therefore, theKanakasabhai attains significance. Q4 Cananybody sing thevaram in Chidambaram temple? A4 Yes.Bhaktas, irrespective of their caste can sing any Tamil hymn from anywhere other than the Arthamandapam, the Kanakasabhai, which is the exclusive domain of the Dikshitars.

Here, peoplerender their gratitude to Agni, the god of fire by offering gram and stalksfrom the harvest with all humility. Further, on the last day of Holi, peopletake a little fire from the bonfire to their homes.
