Mahanavami 2015
Gain blessings from Maha Shakti with a Mahavnami Blessings Token
On Maha Navami Goddess Durga is worshipped as Mahisasuramardini which means the Annihilator of the Buffalo Demon. It is believed that on Maha Navami day Durga killed the demon Mahishasura. It is important to note that depending on starting time of Navami Tithi on previous day Maha Navami Puja and Upavas might be done on Ashtami Tithi. The precise rule is that if Ashtami and Navami merge before Sanyakal on Ashtami Tithi then Ashtami meditations and Navami meditations including Sandhiya meditations are done on the same day. However, Durga Balidan is always done on Uday Vyapini Navami Tithi. The most appropriate time to perform Balidan on Navami is Aparahna Kaal. Navami meditation is performed on Maha Navami and it is the significant ritual during Durga Navratri period. The best time to perform meditations is at the end of Navami Puja. |

Kismatkarma wish you a very Happy Navratri
Navratri Meditations & Prayer Tokens
We wish you all a warm welcome for this joyous occasion of Navratri on behalf of everyone at Kismat Karma. This is the time we all stand as one and rejoice in the powerful prayers to our goddess Maa Durga who defeated many demons and rid the world of evil on so many occasions. We only pray that these nine days clear away any demons and forms of distress that may cloud you or anyone in the world at this time. We hope you join our prayers at this event and share the love of the universe with the dance and music dedicated to the Universal Mother Maa Durga.

The story goes as follows:
There were two demons who were taking over the world and all that is good, their names were Madhu and Ketav, both brothers who were so powerful they set out to defeat the gods. They sought a war with the god Vishnu which lasted for five thousand years. Seeing that this was a lengthy war and clearly not a war that was moving in favour of the gods the Gods set out to pray to a power even higher than their own. They prayed to mother Durga, the Universal Goddess. In the form of pride she set upon the demons and they boastfully vowed to die from Vishnu on the condition that they will not be able to see water, earth or sky. Listening to this Vishnu was able to kill the demons by enlarging his own size so they could not see anything but him. Thus he defeated or Maa Durga was able to defeat the undefeatable demons.
Then came the rein of two other vicious demons Shumbh and Nishumbh, who brought wrath upon the earth once more. They were again slaying humans and the Gods felt their power threatened. The God prayed again to the higher power of Maa Durga who took form of a beautiful young maiden. She sat upon a Lion as her steed and set for the mountain. Dressed in the ornaments and weapons bestowed upon her from each of the Gods she went to ward with these Demons who wished to possess her for their own lust and ego. With little effort she created her own army from within her and slayed the demons along with their armies.
After the rein of the demon brothers the rein of Rakht-bhij came. This demon king was blessed with a boon from Lord Shiva that with each drop of blood that falls upon the earth another demon will rise in his place. As you can imagine this was a messy war, Maa Durga realised that each time she slayed this demon thousands would reappear in its place all as him with the same strengths and same boon affecting them all. This is when the Divine mother took the form of Goddess Kali. In her fearsome avatar she made herself so big that her tongue covered the earth whist she continued to fight along with her own army. No blood fell upon the earth as mother Kali consumed it. Thus the demon was defeated.
Alas another demon came soon after. Mahisasura was a demon who was able to transform himself to be in any form he wanted. The great Mother Durga with her army defeated this beastly, demon. She is the saviour of not only the humans but also of the gods, or what we believe is good in the world.
She is the one who is able to defeat all the demons that are so powerful they could be considered more or equally powerful to the Gods. This is a time when we pray to the power of the universe who is able to hold and create the good and bad and defeat all that is good and bad in the Universe. However, mother Durga adheres to the universal energy of Love. Thus she will always eliminate that which is not in the side of love.

Kismatkarma explains Maa Katyayani Vrat (Gauri Vrat) For Early Marriage or Marriage Problems
At Kismatkarma we understand marriage is becoming one of the major issues in today’s time. Both men and women are facing this problem, be it timely marriage or avoiding divorce in a marriage. For Getting the right match and also longing for making marriages work, people try various methods, with no benefit.

We have had many cases, where out clients have mentioned that in the past they have followed many remedies, however, nothing has worked for them. We believe one of the many reasons this tends to happen if there is a lot of negative energy around the person. If you are suffering from negative energy and feel this is blocking your relationship, then we recommend Distant Meditations for you:

The best remedy for early marriage or the best remedy for marriage problems is Maa Katyayani Vrat or Gauri Vrat .This vrat has been mentioned in Bhagwad Mahapuran 10th canto (skandha) 22nd chapter The Bhagavata Purana describes the legend of Katyayani Vrata, where young marriageable daughters (gopis) of the cowherd men of Gokula in Braja, worshipped Goddess Katyayani (Goddess Durga) and took a vrata or vow, during the entire month of Margashirsha, the first month of the winter season, to get Lord Krishna as their husband. During the month, they ate only unspiced khichri, and after bathing in the Yamuna at sunrise, made an earthen deity of the Goddess on the riverbank, and worshipped the idol of Goddess Durga by whose grace they were blessed with Lord Krishna as their husband after completion of this vrat. The fasting, called Katyayani vrata or Gauri Vrat is made for a whole month in the month of Marghashirsha.
.
The complete Katyayani vrat katha (Gauri Vrat Katha ) , Katyayani vrat vidhi (Gauri Vrat vidhi ) has been Mentioned in Brahma vaivartha puran in Krishna Janma Khanda Chapter 27 .Lord Narayan himself narrates the story behind this to Lord Narada and mentions that this vrat is called Gauri vrat.So Gauri vrat and Katyayani vrat are one and the same and is observed in order to please Goddess Katyayani i.e. Goddess Durga.
This vrat was also observed by Devi Sita (who was the embodied form of Devi Lakshmi) who was blessed by Devi Durga and was able to marry Prabhu Shri Ram.(Who is the embodied form of Lord Narayan).
In Satyug Devi Sita, Radha and Gopikas had worshiped Devi Durga for the entire month of Marghashirsha and then they were blessed with Lord Krishna as their husband. So now in Kaliyug where adharma prevails, in order to please Devi, I will suggest that this Katyayani Devi Pooja should be done not only in the month of marghshirsha, but till the time you find your appropriate partner. Also in today’s busy life style it is very difficult to implement the intricate methodologies of Vrat Anushthan. Hence I am describing as to how you can be benefited by just following simple worship methodologies. It is also worth mentioning that not only does this vrat benefit females who want to get married or who want to come out of marriage related problems, but it also benefits men. This remedy is also a very powerful tool to fulfil all your desires pertaining to health, wealth and happiness suggested by Lord Narayan himself.

You can achieve maximum benefits if this meditation is done in the month of Marghashirsha because there is a great importance of Lord Krishna in this month. The Lord himself says that he is the Margashirsha month out of all the months. The below shlokam tells about the significance and spiritual importance of margasheersha maas in Bhagwad Geeta Chapter-10,verse-35
Bruhatsama thatha samnam
Gayatri Chandasamaham
Masanam Margashoham
Ruthunam Kusumakarna
It means - Lord Krishna says "I, myself, stay in Bruhathsama in the Samaveda, Gayatri in Chandassu or literature, Margashirsha or Margashira in months and Vasant rithu in rithus or seasons".
Margashirsha maas or Margashira masam is the ninth month as per traditional Hindu calendar. It is believed as one of the auspicious months for Hindus. In Puranas, Margashirsha maas is mentioned as 'Maasonam Margashirshoham' which means there is no auspicious month as Margashiram.
However,you can start whenever you have the desire to surrender to the bhakti of Goddess Durga. In order to derive the benefits of this remedy follow the below mentioned steps.
Maa Katyayani Vrat (Gauri Vrat) vidhi or procedure, Maa Katyayani vrat or Gauri Vrat has four main parts
Step 1 –Dhyan :- Establish the Idol of Goddess Durga and offer your devotion.Visualise the divine form of Goddess Durga and narrate your wishes. It is important to ask Devi to take you under Her Divine protection and to always be pleased with you.
Step 2 -Daily Chanting : - After this, recite the following mantra 10 Malas or rounds. (Each Mala has 108 beeds.So you would be reciting this for almost more than 1000 times).However if you are unable to do 10 malas, please recite it as per your convenience.
Mantra: Om Shri Durgayai Sarvavighna vinashinyai namah.
Step 3 – Daily Durga Stuti – This stuti was done by Lord Brahma when he was being troubled by Madhu and Kaitabha. Radha along with all the Vraj Gopikas also recited this Stuti for pleasing Goddess Durga.This Stuti is called Jai Durga Stotra.

How To Observe Vat Gouri Vrata
According to legends, Goddess Parvati had carried out intense austerities (tapas) in order to get Lord Shiva as her husband. Since then, unmarried females have been observing this fast on the pretext of obtaining an ideal and devoted husband, just like Lord Shiva. Gauri Parvati Vrat is observed for five days beginning on the Ekadashi day in the month of Ashada in the waxing phase of the moon. The fast ends on the day of Purnima. A partial fast is observed wherein the girls perform pujas for Goddess Parvati. A unique tradition is followed during this course of five days. All females observing Gauri Vrata grow corn shoots in a small pot. The tender corn shoots emerging along with Lord Surya (sun) are worshipped during the day, not to forget Goddess Parvati. While considering the food to be consumed during the five-day fast, salt is strictly prohibited. Only wheat flour, ghee and milk are used for preparing food. However, different fruits can be consumed as well. On Purnima day to end the vrat, girls perform a ‘cow puja’ and also bid farewell to Goddess Parvati.

Nepal Earthquake Appeal
As many of you have heard through various media, on Saturday 25 April a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal. It severely shook the lives of at least 5.3m people and left many homeless. Nepal’s major cities, including the capital Kathmandu, have been badly damaged and rural areas near the epicentre have been completely cut off by avalanches.
Already over 3000 people have been confirmed dead and the figure is likely to rise significantly in the coming days. Even those whose homes are still standing are sleeping in the streets because they are terrified by regular aftershocks. So many people have lost everything.

The Thai New Year
The Thai New Year
Songkran is known as "the Water Festival"
Thais believe that water will wash away bad luck, and spend the day liberally splashing water on each other.
Songkran actually begins on April 13, the end of the old year, and concludes on the 15th, the first day of the New Year.
Three Days of Songkran
For Thais, Songkran is a time for purification – houses are cleaned and Buddha statues washed, while younger folk pay their respects to their seniors by respectfully pouring scented water on their hands.
This tradition washes away bad thoughts and actions, especially when words of blessing are uttered.
On the first day of Songkran, Wan Sungkharn Long, Thais visit Buddhist temples to make merit: they give alms and food to monks. Thais also clean out their houses, sweeping out the old to prepare for the year to come.
On the second day, Wan Nao, Thais carry sand into the temple grounds and build small pagodas called chedis to make merit. The temples in their turn bring out
The third day, Wan Payawan, is the official first day of the New Year. Images of the Buddha are washed with scented water… and on the streets, the fun really begins.

Akshay Tritiya 2015
Akshay Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is celebrated on the third day of Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight) of the vedic month of Vaisakha.
Akshaya Tritiya and Parashurama Jayanti occurs on the same day. Parshurama Jayanti is observed as the birthday of Lord Parashurama, sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
Akshaya means 'never diminishing', and same is Akshaya Tritiya's significance in Hindu Calendar. If we go by the lunar calendars of Jains and Hindus, each year witnesses either an addition or missing out of some days (Tithi). But, the day of Akshaya Tritiya or Akha Teej is never absent from the lunar calendar.
As per the Puranas, Parashuram was born at Renuka Tirth, as Lord Vishnu's sixth Avatar (incarnation). He was named as Ramabhadra, but after a significant occurrence, he got the epithet of Parashuram.
The legend suggests...
Ramabhadra was an ardent follower of Lord Shiva. Considering his perpetual dedication, Lord Shiva was pleased and gifted him with a divine responsibility to liberate Mother Goddess from demons. He was presented divine weapons by Shiva that included an axe-shaped weapon, Parashu. This altered his name from Rama to Parashurama (Rama with axe). Akshaya Tritiya is observed as the day when Parashurama was born.
This day marks the commencement of Satya Yuga (Golden Age). It is also believed that Ved Vyasa started writing Mahabharata along with Ganesha on the day of Akshaya Tritiya.
www.kismatkarma.com
While on exile, Pandavas were gifted 'Akshay Patra' by Lord Krishna, the bowl of food that would never go empty. This was the day of Akshay Tritiya or Akha Teej.
This legend is believed to be one of the most significant ones, associated with the celebration of Akshaya Tritiya. Lord Krishna had a poor Brahmin friend, Sudama. Once, on the day of Akshaya Tritiya, Krishna got visited by Sudama. The purpose for his visit was to ask for some financial help from Krishna.
Akshaya Tritiya legend owes to the story of Krishna-Sudama.Sudama was welcomed in a grand fashion by his friend, which embarrassed him even more. Though he was treated with benevolence, Sudama was ashamed of not being capable to present his friend anything, but some Poha (beaten rice). Krishna did not care to mend his attitude toward the bond of friendship and relished the Poha gifted by his dear friend.
www.kismatkarma.com
Being overwhelmed by the treatment, Sudama could not ask for anything more from Krishna. Hence, he returned home empty handed. On his return, Sudama found his hut transformed into an abode of royalty and everything appeared grand. It was a boon by Lord Krishna that Sudama attained much more than financial help. Since then, the day is celebrated as Akshaya Tritiya.
Kismatkarma will conduct the following meditations as part of the Akshaya Tritya Meditations:
Kismatkarma Gaja Meditation is also known as Kismatkarma Gaja Dhanakarshana Meditation. Gaja means 'elephant', and hence, in this meditation, elephants are our focus for the sustenance of wealth and prosperity in our lives. http://www.kismatkarma.com/akshey-tritiya-2015/
Ashwa (horse) is considered to be the disciple of Mars (planet), which represents command and energy. On the day of Akshay Tritiya, Ashwa Meditation is performed to bring home positivity and mental peace. http://www.kismatkarma.com/akshey-tritiya-2015/
Gou (cow) is the symbol of kindness, love and warmth; hence, Gou or cow is our focus on the day of Akshay Tritiya. http://www.kismatkarma.com/akshey-tritiya-2015/
Mahalakshmi Meditation is also performed on this day. Maa Sundara Mahalakshmi is our focus on Akshaya Tritiya, exhibiting the 64 Avatars of Goddess Lakshmi. Dr Arti Jangra conducts Mahalakshmi meditation and we chant 1008 names of Lakshmi Maa. http://www.kismatkarma.com/akshey-tritiya-2015/
Goddess Mahalakshmi is considered to be associated with wealth and prosperity. Hence, the day of Akshay Tritiya, signify a never ending good fortune of prosperity and well-being. http://www.kismatkarma.com/akshey-tritiya-2015/
