MARGAZHI MONTH – GOD’S MONTH – SPECIAL SPIRITUAL MONTH TO STABILISE BODY AND MIND

 


As Lord Krishna proclaimed in the Bhagavad Gita - Month of Margazhi is Mine, Margazhi Month is dedicated to God and God alone. Hence during this month, people of Southern States – viz Tamilnadu , Karnataka, Kerala and Andhrapradesh which includes Telengana are fully engaged in Bhajans, Music, Devotional Dance performances, Spiritual Discourses etc.

In this month, people perform nagarsankeerthan – unjavirthi rituals where women folks will offer rice and circle round the bhakthas who sing devotional songs along with musical instruments like thamburas, mridangams, cymbals and subla khata. These are being performed very early morning around Temples. The Bhakthas gather in front of the temple to start their nama sankeerthans and go around the four streets around the temple and conclude in front of the temple. 

Reciting Andal Thirupavai and Manickavasagar Thiruvambavai are considered very auspicious in the month of Margazhi. Apart from these recitals, Upanyasams about Ramayanam, Mahabharatham,  Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavadam and many other religious bhakthi literatures are being arranged in many places where people gather in large numbers to listen to these religious musical discourses.

During this month of God, ladies will get up very early in the morning and sweep the streets in front of their houses and draw large kolams as a mark of devotions to god. Apart from religious and spiritual peace that the women get by these artistic talents , these give them peace of mind which energize them  for the rest of the months.

During the month of Margazhi, there are no  Hindu festivals to celebrate and hence the entire energy and attention will be concentrated  towards  performance of poojas, bhajans, decorations and offerings to Gods.

Margazhi Musical and Dance Festival is very famous in Tamilnadu especially in Chennai. The entire month is kept apart for music and spiritual activities by many people. During this month of Margazhi, more than 3,500 concerts take place in Chennai making it one of the biggest music and dance festival in the world.

Thyagarajar Kirthanas and Arunagirinathar Thirupukash will also be sung by devotees  with utmost devotion in the various temple premises throughout Southern States.

During the months of Karthikai and Margazhi, many devotees will start their viratas for their pilgrimage to sabarimalai by wearing sacred malas and their devotional songs also will fill the airs to the solace of many citizens. Sarana Goshams – Swamiye Saranam Ayyappa – will reverberate to create a solemn and spiritual atmosphere to cleanse the mind from lust and to elevate it higher levels of solace and peace and healthy thoughts. Margashi being declared as a Month of God, every Hindu is duty bound to respond to the call of Lord Krishna to have HIS blessings which will energise him throughout the year.

MAY THIS HOLY MONTH MARGAZHI BRING US HAPPINESS, HEALTH, WEALTH AND LONG PEACEFUL LIFE.

E-TOUCH PRAYS FOR YOU ALL.

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. The woman replied that you are interfering illegally in the religion of crores of Hindus.   Gandhi said: I wish to listen to the Quran, now.  The woman said: And I will oppose it inside our temple.   And then hundreds of Valmiki youths stood by the side of the woman and started saying that before getting the Quran recited in the temple, show us by reciting Gita or Ramayana in a mosque and then we will...

Carnatic Musicians Aiding for Christian Conversion Efforts – Courtesy: Naithrupan

Image
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. What a shame! On the contrary, Isaignani Ilayaraja that he will not score for the movie “ Periyar ” even if he is offered any number of crores – that is conviction! I see some people asking some stupid question...

Image
(Editorial published by E-Touch Digital Magazine – Written  by S. Sankaran, Editor.) Modi Sarkar is ruling at the Centre for the last 10 years – two continuous consecutive terms from 2014 to 2024. Bharat Voters had voted Modi in 2014 with 283 MP seats and in 2019 with 303 MP seats and the BJP had now set a target of 370 + MP seats in the current Lok Sabha Election which will be over by June 1 and the results will be out on June 4. 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 ...
