Sri Skandotsavam Skanda Shashti Celebrations
(Thursday, November 12 to Wednesday, November18)
SSVT IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT SRI SHANMUKHA SIVACHARYAR
OF KALIKAMBAL TEMPLE IN CHENNAI AND THE ASTHANA
SIVACHARYAR OF OUR TEMPLE WILL BE PRESIDING OVER THE
SKANDA SHASHTI FESTIVAL THIS YEAR.
Skanda Shashti marks the triumph of Lord Subrahmanya over the evil
Soora Padma. The son of Lord Siva, also referred to by devotees as
Skanda or Muruga killed the demon Sura Padma with His Holy Spear
(Vel) and brought relief and joy to the suffering celestials and humans.
Allegorically the Vel represents the Jnaana Shakti (Power of Wisdom) of
the Lord and Sura Padma the demon of Ego and Ignorance within us.
Lord Subrahmanya is hence considered to be the lord of wisdom who
dispels our ego and ignorance. The devotees of Muruga observe austerities such as fasting and mounavratham starting from the day of Prathama
Thithi to (and including) Skanda Shasti day. The Shashti Vratham begins
on Thursday, November 12 and ends on Tuesday, Nov 17. The day after
Skanda Shashti is celebrated as Devasena Kalyanam. During these days
special Pujas will be held, with a grand culmination on the Skanda Shashti day. Participation in these pujas is believed to ward off evil and usher
in peace and prosperity. On all six days, devotees wanting to take Kavadi
can do so. Please register ahead of time at the Temple. There will be
Shashti Kavacham recitation and bhajana singing after Abhishekam on all
days. On Sunday the 15th, there will be Sahasrakalasaabishekam to Lord
Muruga, and devotees will be able to take the kalasams in a procession
around the Temple and will also be able to perform Abhishekam to a Vel
in the Vasanta Mandapam. Details of the program and sponsorship are
given below.

VEDA PARAYANAM DURING
MANDALA
(Monday November 16 – Sunday December 27, 2015)
Vedas are the basis of the Hindu religion (also known as Sanatana
Dharma). Vedas are without beginning (Anaadi), of Divine origin
(Apourusheya) and endless (Ananta). However over the ages the vast
majority of the Vedas have been lost and only small portions of that
limitless ocean are available to us at the present time. It is a tradition
in Siva and Vishnu temples in India to chant all sections of the Veda
(currently known) during the Mandala period (41 days) beginning with
first day of the Vrischika month (November 16 this year). This enables
Pundits, who have learnt to chant the Vedas, to chant the portions of
Vedas that they normally don’t use in the course of their daily prayers and
also add to the positive vibrations of the ambience. Devotees can benefit
by joining in the chanting themselves, listening to the chanting and by
sponsoring such chanting. With the encouragement from our temple
priests, who are all well-versed in Vedas, the temple is arranging chanting
of the Vedas between 6 PM and 7 PM daily during the Mandala. All
devotees are encouraged to attend and participate.

How to prepare irumudi (in brief)
After performing Ayyappa Puja, fill the mudra coconut with melted ghee. If you are a Kanni
Ayyappan or Kanni Maalikappuram (first timer), Guruswamy will help you to fill the mudra coconut
with ghee. Mudra coconut and other Pujaitems must be placed in the front pocket of the Irumudi
and the other two coconuts must be placed in the rear pocket. Always keep chanting the names of
Lord Ayyappa while preparing the Irumudi. Never place the Irumudi on the floor; always place it on
a towel and treat it with Bhakthi.

BHAGAVAD GITA CLASSES FOR ADULTS WITH GUIDED MEDITATION
Every Sunday from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM
The Bhagavad Gita is a doctrine of universal truth. It is a part of the scriptural trinity of Sanatana Dharma. The Gita deals with the
most sacred metaphysical science as it imparts the knowledge of the self and answers two universal questions: Who am I? How can I
lead a happy and peaceful life in this world of dualities?
For info call: Smt. RUKMINI MAMI at 301-218-7550
Yoga – A Special Offering at SSVT – ‘Yoga is Connecting with the Divine’
Few people realize that yoga is the basis of worship in the temple. Without yoga or communion with the divine no worship by the priests is possible.
The practice of yoga in the Aakaar room every Saturday from 7:30 am to 10:30 am is an opportunity for everyone to individually engage in yoga.
•
Please come for yoga sessions after your customary cleansing with bathing or showering, as you would before worshipping in the
sanctum at the temple, before coming to yoga on Saturdays.
•
Keep the stomach light – preferably without food – but neither hunger nor a full stomach is good for yoga.
While 90% of the world thinks yoga is physical exercises and connect it with gym offerings, it is time that you understood that yoga is your
spiritual practice. More to come in the next newsletter.
Send any questions on yoga to lifeinyoga@gmail.com and all attempts will be made to answer them as promptly as possible.
