Ganga Saptami May 12 2016


Divine Devi Blessings

Ganga Saptami day is dedicated to Goddess Ganga. This day is also known as Ganga Jayanti as Ganga was reborn on this day.

Request your Divine Devi  blessings token on this auspicious day

According to Hindu Mythology Divine Devi Ganga was descended to the Earth on Ganga Dussehra day. When mighty Ganga was descended to the Earth, Lord Shiva took her in His hairs to break Ganga's descent to avoid Ganga sweeping the whole Earth away. Later Lord Shiva released Ganga so that she can accomplish her mission to purge the cursed souls of Bhagiratha's ancestors.

While on her way to kingdom of Bhagiratha, her mighty flow and gushing turbulent water destroyed the Ashram of sage Jahnu. This angered Sage Jahnu and he drank up all of Ganga's water. Upon this, Bhagiratha and the Gods prayed to Rishi Jahnu to release Divine Devi Ganga so that she could proceed on her mission. Pleased with prayers Jahnu released Divine Devi Ganga from his ear.

According to legends Jahnu Rishi released Divine Devi Ganga from his ear on Saptami of Vaishakha Shukla Paksha. Because of this legend this day is also known as Jahnu Saptami. Divine Devi Ganga is also known as Jahnavi, the daughter of Rishi Jahnu.

On Ganga Saptami devotees worship Goddess Ganga and take bath in Ganges. Taking bath in Ganges on Ganga Saptami day is considered highly auspicious. At Kismatkarma we understand this is not possible for everyone, so Dr Arti Will be holding special medittions. Request your Divine Devi  blessings token.

The Leap of Faith



Put a frog into a vessel fill with water and start heating the water. As the temperature of the water begins to rise, the frog adjust its body temperature accordingly. The frog keeps adjusting its body temperature with the increasing temperature of the water. Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog cannot adjust anymore. 

At this point the frog decides to jump out. The frog tries to jump but it is unable to do so because it has lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water temperature. Very soon the frog dies.

What killed the frog?
Think about it!

I know many of us will say the boiling water. But the truth about what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when to jump out.

We all need to adjust with people & situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust & when we need to move on. There are times when we need to face the situation and take appropriate actions.

If we allow people to exploit us physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually or mentally they will continue to do so.

Let us decide when to jump!

Let's jump while we still have the strength.

Akshey Tritiya

Akshay Tritiya

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
Gou (cow) is the symbol of kindness, love and warmth; hence, Gou or cow is our focus on the day of Akshay Tritiya. 
 
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.
 
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.
Akshaya Tritiya is also known as Parashuram Jayanti 
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.
 
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.
  
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

Thinking "Out of the Box"

Thinking "Out of the Box"

Many hundreds of years ago in a small Italian town, a merchant had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the merchant's beautiful daughter so he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the merchant's debt if he could marry the daughter. Both the merchant and his daughter were horrified by the proposal.

The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black pebble, she would become the moneylender's wife and her father's debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.

They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the merchant's garden. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick her pebble from the bag.

What would you have done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you have told her? Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:

1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.
2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the moneylender as a cheat.
3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment.

The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral and logical thinking.

The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.

"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked." Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the moneylender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an advantageous one.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Most complex problems do have a solution, sometimes we have to think about them in a different way.

The Struggle of the Frog

The Struggle of the Frog

A baby frog was hopping around a farmyard, when it decided to investigate the barn. Being somewhat careless, and maybe a little too curious, he ended up falling into a pail half-filled with fresh milk.

As he swam about attempting to reach the top of the pail, he found that the sides of the pail were too high and steep to reach. He tried to stretch his back legs to push off the bottom of the pail but found it too deep. But this frog was determined not to give up, and he continued to struggle.

He kicked and squirmed and kicked and squirmed, until at last, all his churning about in the milk had turned the milk into a big hunk of butter. The butter was now solid enough for him to climb onto and get out of the pail!

The Moral of The Story? "Never Give Up!"

A Pound of Butter

A POUND OF BUTTER



There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to the baker. One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound and he found that he was not. This angered him and he took the farmer to court. The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. The farmer replied, amour Honor, I am primitive. I don't have a proper measure, but I do have a scale." The judge asked, "Then how do you weigh the butter?" The farmer replied "Your Honor, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the baker."

What is the moral of the story? We get back in life what we give to others. Whenever you take an action, ask yourself this question: Am I giving fair value for the wages or money I hope to make? Honesty and dishonesty become a habit. Some people practice dishonesty and can lie with a straight face. Others lie so much that they don't even know what the truth is anymore. But who are they deceiving? Themselves
