DAYS FOR ONE TIME MEAL!

Shaunaka Smriti says:

"Ashtamyam cha chadurdashyam na kuryaath bhojanam dhiva
AADITYA parva sankranthau vyathipathae pitur dinae
Abithashchopavasasya na kuryan NISHI BHOJANAM"

MEANING:
During ashtami,chadurdasi dont eat during noon.During sunday,amavasya,poornima,month birth,vyathipatham,pitur dinam dont eat during night.

There r mantras for prayashchitta if u eat!

CAN BRAHMINS FOLLOW BELOW MENTIONED PERSONS??

1. Swami Vivekananda
2. Satya Sai Baba
3. Swami Dayananda Saraswati(Arya Samaj)
4. Gandhiji
5. Sri Ram Sharma Acharya ( Gayatri Pariwar)
6. Dr Hegdewar (founder of RSS)
7. Swami Dayananda Saraswati ( Arsha Vidya Gurukulam) and many others.

Though the above mentioned persons belong to hinduism we cant say them as followers of dharma shastras! They have their own principles which contradict with many places in dharma shastras! thats why we say their doctorine doesnt belong to SATH (good)SAMPRADAYA!Only good aspects in them that doesnt contradict with dharma shastras must be followed by brahmins!They should not be considered as ideals for brahmins! Ideals should be Adi shankara,ramanuja,madhwacharya ..... who was within varnaashrama dharma (sanyasa ashrama).so,they r called as NIYAMA VAIDHEEKA SANYASIS.

But the people above said r ANIYAMA AVAIDHEEKAS.For heaven sake dont follow their activities like going abroad etc which r against shastras if u r a brahmin!

NEED VAIDYANATHA DEEKSHITIYAM??

DOWNLOAD IT FROM,

http://vaidyanatha.ambaa.org/ (only sanskrit)

Do u have a shika(tuft) to make ur karmas fruitful?

Karmas like sandhayavandhanam,tharpanam,shraadham etc become fruitless if it is done without having shika in ur head.Like havir offerings done in ash which is of no use,similarly karmas done without shika doesn't reach the devas but gives strength to asuras!

Is varna decided by birth or deeds?

1. IS CASTE CONFIRMED BY BIRTH 0R DEEDS?

To know the actual answer for this, study the Srimath Geetha & Brahmasutra Bhasyas that were written by Sankara,Ramanuja & Madhwacharya in sanskrit ONLY.Only they will give the actual purport.Several other recent commentators have written for their convenience against the actual purport by hiding the real truth.These above 3 commentators have accepted it comes by birth and not by deeds.They have not misinterpreted AS IT IS DONE by several AANANDA'S nowadays to the public that it comes by deeds,mindset etc and not by birth!!!.READ THE ACTUAL SANSKRIT BHASHYAM.

My ONLY question to those who claim that Varna is NOT decided by birth is as follows,

Let us suppose that Varna is NOT decided by birth.As a believer of Hinduism,Every Hindu come under some Varna! Right?..ok!...Now.....You belong to some varna according to your argument that, it is ascertained by one's deeds & gunas and not by birth!...........Now,To which Varna do you think you belong to,as per your deeds & guna?.If you think that u r are a Kshatriya or vaishya by your gunaas & deeds,are you DOING the prescribed duties of that Varna???

So,Let Us STOP debating about Varna & let us START following Varna Ashrama Dharma if we think we are followers of Hinduism!

I will explain this in detail in near future when I find time.

WHY SHOULD WE PRACTISE DHARMA SHASTRA?

BY PRACTISING DHARMA U GET RID OF UR SINS DONE IN SEVERAL PREVIOUS BIRTHS AND ATTAIN PURIFICATION OF MIND,WORD & DEED! U ATTAIN PEACE HERE & BLISS IN HEAVEN! MAHARISHI MANU SAYS: BY PRACTISING DHARMA SASTRA ONE GETS PURIFIED BY GETTING RID OF SINS AND ATTAINS GOD EASILY & QUICKLY!. MAN IS BORN LONELY & DIES LONELY.ENJOYS HEAVEN AND EXPERIENCE SEVERE PAIN &SORROW LONELY IN HELL.HIS FRIENDS AND RELATIVES LEAVE HIM ALOOF IN GRAVYARD AND GO WITHOUT LIKING TO SEE HIS DEADBODY.ONLY THE DHARMA HE PRACTISED COMES ALONG WITH HIM FOR RESCUE IN HELL TO CROSS IT EASILY.NOBODY ELSE.HE IS THE BEST FRIEND.SO,DHARMA MUST BE PRACTISED BY HUMANS WITHOUT LAZINESS,GRADUALLY.

MOREOVER,U R DESTINED BY GOD TO DO UR VARNASSHRAMA DHARMA WITHOUT ASKING REASONS!

WHO CAN BE CALLED AS DIXIT?

one who observed deeksha during somayagya sacrifice for 5 days without food,bath r said 2 be dixit or deekshidhar. sleeping in floor,brahmacharya,drinking only milk & eating only oudumbara tree's fruits, givig dhana 2 brahmin ritviks(16),offering havir bhaagam to devatas must b done for 5 days.only these people can keep deekshit as thier surname.shame on those who only keep the dixit title of thier forefathers & who dont do agnihotra,somayagas!!!!!!!

DO SHRAADHA WITHOUT FAIL!!!

Every brahmin should do shraadha to his ancestors during amavasya,birth of every month,manvadhi,yugadhi,vaidridhi,ardhodayam,mahodayam,vyathipaadam,ashtaka,anvashtaka without fail.U can see these days in ur almanac.If u r unable to do these shraddhas which count to 96 every year, also called as shannavathi shradhhas u must atleast satisfy ur pitru devatas by doing thila tharpanam which may take only 5 min to do.ATLEAST DO THESE 96 THILA THARPANAMS REGULARLY EVERY YEAR TO GET D GRACE OF UR ANCESTORS.IF U DONT DO THEY HAVE D POWER 2 CURSE U WHICH LEADS 2 PITRU DOSHA!!!

DO PARISHAYCHANAM BEFORE EATING!

whatever u eat,it may be fruits,water,milk,wheat etc,parishaychanam mut b done.as per sastras brahmins must eat only twice a day.afternoon& night

Also keep in mind that u should not eat during sunday,poornima,amavasya nights & ashtami,chathurdasi afternoons!.There r expiation rites if u eat!!

INTRODUCTION

To lead a peaceful life,one must follow the sastras which are the rules of the almighty that cannot be changed by passage of time(i.e.kruta,thretha,dwapara&kali yuga).The almighty says,

“Shruthi smrithi mamaivaagya yaasthaam ullangya varthathe|
Aagya chhedi mamadhrrohi math bhaktopi na vaishnavahah||”

Which means,vedas and sastras are my commands and one who surpasses these rules have breaken my laws and cannot be considered as my bhakta or a vaishnava.

So everybody who seek the grace of lord must follow the smrithis(dharma sastras) in order to get rid of sins and to attain purity of mind.

It is said that so many sastras which binds every humanbeing in this world is meant for purifying the mind(chitta shuddhi).Aadi shankara in his viveka-choodamani says,

“ CHITTA SUDDHAYE KARMA NA TU VASTHU UPALABDAYE|
VASHTHU SIDDHIRVICHARAENA NA KINCHITH KARMAKOTIBIHI:||”

Which means, rituals are meant only to purify the mind and not attain almighty but he can be known only through vichara(introspection) &not by doing a crore of rituals.

Even if a person attains the knowledge of the almighty’s by his grace he should perform karma(rituals) for the sake of loka sangharah:(welfare of the world). Lord krishna in shri bhagavath geeta says,

“yath yath aacharathi shrestahah thath thataeva etharo janahah:|
Saha yath pramanam kuruthae lokahah thath anuvarthathe||”

i.e.the general public is used to follow whatever the elite(jnani= self-realised) does.for e.g. if he doesn’t perform karma ,others stop doing karma.

So,in order to safeguard the world Lord Krishna orders the elite to be an ideal for other people by doing karma.

It is said in mahabhashyam that

“Brahmanaena nishkarano dharmahah shadango vedhadhyeyo gayyashcha” –(patanjala mahabhashyam)


Which means without asking reasons &questioning a brahmin must study the vedas with its six angas(parts) and follow the dharma sastras.
we should follow the sastras without asking reasons
