water is very sacred, it is proved that it can clean the impurities in it by
itself. It will not be spoiled when stored for many days. By Puranas we can
know that by visiting Kasi or having bath in Ganga
we will not have next birth.</div>

stayed there for 1 year and did researches on Athiratram and encouraged Nambodri
Brahmins to do this Yagam. Yagam was restarted in 1975 in Panjal (Kerala).

as the Yagam was completed heavy rain poured and it was witnessed by many
people who came to see the Athiratram.<br />

EXPERIENCE</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: red;"> <span style="color: blue;">We had been to Athirathram Yagam on
second day i.e on 22.4.2012. All the Arrangements were very well organised.
Annadanam is been organised in the premises. We had our lunch there. It was
very good. Samatha Lokseva Samithi is taking care off all the arrangements and
they are well organized. Samatha Lokseva Samithi has to be appreciated for organizing
such an ancient Yagam. People are doing Pradakshinas around the Yagasala.
Pradakshina should be done with out chappals but few are doing with their
chappals</span></span><span style="color: blue;">.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"> We should not touch any of the
items which are used in the Yagam. We are not supposed to enter into the premises
of the Yagasala. Any mistake done will show effect on the body of Yagamani .While</span><span style="color: red;"> </span><span style="color: blue;">we are having our lunch they
made a announcement that Garuda Pakshi
came there, immediately we rushed out to see it and we felt very happy to see
it. There is ample of parking space.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;"> All trees that withered in Sisiram will get new
leaves in Vasantharuthu. Nature is in full bloom, symbolizing regeneration and
celebrating the season’s freshness. In seasons Vasantham is the best season, Lord
Krishna also said in season’s he is Vasantha ruthu .So Vasantha ruthu is taken
as the first season of the year. First month in Vasantham is Chaitram. First
importance in Thiti goes to Padyami.</span><b><span style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;">According to BRAHMA PURANA, Lord Brahma started
the creation on Chaitra Suddha Padyami. This day is celebrated as UGADI. This
is the first festival of Telugu people (Andrapradesh). Those who follow phases
of MOON ( ANDRAPRADESH, KARNATAKA, MAHARASTRA) CELEBRATE NEW YEAR ON CHAITRA
SUDDHA PADYAMI. It is called as YUGADI in Karnataka, GUDI PADWA in Maharastra. Those
who follow lunar calendar also celebrate New Year in Vasantha Ruthu, but on a
separate day. It is called as Vaisakhi in Punjab, Puthandu in Tamilnadu, Vishu
in Kerala, Poyala bisakh in Bengal. </span><br />

<b>UGADI PACHADI</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: blue;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The most significant tradition in Ugadi is beginning the New
Year with the unique flavored Ugadi Pachadi. Ugadi Pachadi is prepared using fresh mango pieces, fresh
neem tree flowers, new jaggery, tamarind paste, salt, green chilli. It has all
the six tastes (Shadruchulu) in it symbolizing happiness and sorrows in our
life. According to Ayurvedam, by eating this Ugadi Pachadi in the beginning of
the year all vata, pitha, kafa doshas will be removed. Neem tree flowers have Antiseptic,
Anti –Bacterial properties. Skin
diseases are also cured. Mango helps to remove the problems in blood
circulation . TAMARIND paste increases digestion. New jaggery decreases the
heat in the body. Green chilli reduces
ear pain, throat infections and salt sees fat does not accumulate in
valves. It should be prepared in new mud
pot. Some people add sugarcane pieces and banana also.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"> ACCORDING TO BOOKS LIKE
DHARMASINDHU THIS IS NOT THE UGADI PACHADI</span>. In olden days Ugadi Pachadi
is called as “NIMBU KUSUMA BAKSHANAM”. In order to reduce the effects of
seasonal changes tender mango tree leaves (chiguru) and tender leaves of Asoka vruksha
are also added, So it is called as “Asoka Kalika Prasadam”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It should be taken by us by praying to Asoka tree to give us
all the happiness. We should eat it until Srirama Navami i.e 9days.But as time
passed by, tender mango tree leaves are replaced by mango pieces .Even now in Karnataka,
they will eat “BEVU BELLA” chutney(PACHADI)
MADE OF MIXING tender leaves of neem tree and jaggery . Maratas mix neem tree
leaves and thyme/carom seeds/Ajwain(vamu) in Ugadi Pachadi.</div>

<b>PANCHANGA SRAVANAM</b></div>

work on the movement of the celestial bodies. The ancient Vedic sages and
scholars have explained the astronomical phenomena and have formulated many
principles. The literal meaning of Panchangam stands for 5 limbs they are Thithi,
Vaara, Nakshatra, Yoga, and Karana. By
this Panchanga Sravanam we can know how the climate is going to be through out
the year and which crop earns more. It helps the farmer to choose the type of
crop he should cultivate. It tells about cyclones and how much rain will fall
this year.</div>

Amalaki Ekadasi occurs on the 11 th day of Phalguna month(Sukla Ekadasi). On this day we should pray Amalaki(Amla tree) And <span style="color: blue;">donate amla</span>. Vasista Muni said in BRAHMANDA PURANA that those who faithfully observes a fasting on this Ekadasi, obtains enormous wealth, gets free from all kinds of sins and attain Liberation. Fasting on this Ekadasi is more purifying than donating 1000 cows in charity to a pure Brahmin. In Orissa this Ekadasi is known as SABARMMAT EKADASI and special prayers are held in Lord Vishnu and Jagannath temples. Further more, if this Ekadasi falls on Thursday it is regarded as even more auspicious. Purana’s also insist to eat amla.
