Ratha Saptami or Arogya Saptami or Surya Jayanti – on 19th February 2021 – Friday


 

Shukla Paksha Saptami in the month of Magha is known as Ratha Saptami or Magha Saptami.  It is the birthday of Bhagwan Surya.  Hence this day is also defined as Surya Jayanti.

Bhagwan Surya is said to be sitting on a chariot with seven white horses. The day of Ratha Saptami  denotes the journey of Lord Surya to the Northern hemisphere in his chariot. It marks the arrival of summer and indicates a change in the climatic conditions across the regions of Southern India. 

It also symbolizes the beginning of the harvest season for the farmers. Continuous chanting of the Suryashtakam, Surya Sahasranaam, and Gayatri Mantra on the day of Ratha Saptami are considered as  highly auspicious. 

As per the Hindu religion, Lord Surya grants longevity and good health and it is believed that the devotees are blessed with the same if they worship and offer prayers to the deity on this auspicious occasion.

LET YOUR HOLY BATH WITH PRAYERS TO SUN GOD ON THIS RATHA SAPTAMI DAY VANQUISH YOUR SINS SO AS TO BE BLESSED BY PUNYA, PURITY AND PROSPERITY.

Gandhi Recited Quran Verses in the Temple of Valmiki Basti near Delhi

Image
  Once Mohandas. K. Gandhi was reciting Quran in the temple of Valmiki Basti near Delhi.   Then a woman from the crowd got up and asked Gandhi not to do so. Gandhi asked: Why?   Then that woman said that it is against our religion.    Gandhi said. I don't believe so. ..The woman replied that we do not consider you worthy to give order in religion..   Gandhi said that the vote of the people present here should be taken. The woman replied whether religion could be decided by votes?.   Gandhi said that you are obstructing my religious freedom.

Carnatic Musicians Aiding for Christian Conversion Efforts – Courtesy: Naithrupan

Nithyashree Mahadevan , Aruna Sairam , OS Arun , Unnikrishnan , Anuradha Shriram , Tippu & Saindhavi – names that you’re most familiar with Carnatic music who are supposed to be a role model for younger generatons .  The above mentioned singers  stooped down to the lowest level possible. They all signed up to sell their music, Thyagaraja Kirthanas to christian mission by simply changing few words and singing in praise of Jesus. It is highly condemnable that they chose to replace the word Rama with Yesu and sang all the kirthanas . It is that same Rama and Krishna who showered their blessings and made them popular and these scumbags have decided to sell our kirthanas to churches who will use them ONLY to do more conversion.

I see some people asking some stupid question...

To decide ‘To Whom to Vote and Why’, we have two different yardsticks for the ruling party – here it is BJP and for the opposition parties – here it is INDI-Alliances headed by Congress.   For Ruling Party – viz BJP under the leadership of Modi: Voter can judge the track records of the ruling party for the last 10 years and their programmes for the next 5 years. Unbiased assessments of various welfare schemes implemented by the ruling party from various reports – both government and media/print and various articles thereon – apart from the manifesto ...
