The Gothra and Pravara ........................

My dear all, I am extremely happy, many mails are being received on the captioned subject, as well on topics directly or indirectly related to it. Today, we find blood groups as "A" "B" and so on. Some name becomes essential to identify the group of the blood. In the similar fashion, in good olden days, the names of Rishis are taken to identify a blood group. This system is a unique system, besides joint family system etc, in India. This non related group marriages helped the generation to improve their intelligentsia. One can not say that the Indian system can not be relied upon just because some rishi name is given, then, in similar fashion, why should one believe "A" or "B". But still we believe, since we are Hindus and we accept systems of other religions and other branches of thought. That does not mean that we belittle our systems and our traditions which are infinitely dated back. Now I am working on the geographical area of ancient India during Mahabharat times and one authoritative text is "Mahaa Sankalpam". This text reveals, the number of sages; names of rivers; mountains; forests;regions; besides a detailed script of "time calculation". This is unique of its nature and perhaps the strong base TO KNOW OURSELVES; TO KNOW THE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA OF INDIA; TO KNOW THE DIFFERENT KINGDOMS; TO KNOW THE DIFFERENT RULERS; TO KNOW THE DIFFERENT RIVERS IN INDIA AND MANY SUCH. Let us not forget our traditions, let us not disrespect our ancient rishis, let us not disown our philosophies; let us also not ignore our Ayurveada; Tarka(logic); Nyaya sastra; Ardhik sastra(financial or economic theories)and many such. Let us feel proud to be an Indian; to be a Hindu; to have religious patience. Perhaps, Indians have the best tendency to help the less fortunate in the society. The great 'ANNADAANA" is an on-going system in Indian families; temples of India; and it is our richest culture. It is a fact, that I am going to write on a different subject as to why India is quite a sacred land on this earth, interestingly, some of the divine plants do not grow elsewhere on this earth. I prefer to present them in detail in due course of time. I am always open for correction, if someone tries to rectify me, but, it should be authentic and Logic or fact based and it should be convincing to every Hindu.

Dr P V Sesha Sai Aswamedhayaaji Executive President – World Brahman Organization http://aswamedhayaaji.com., http://worldbrahmanorganization.com shodasisai@gmail.com special reference http://ritualsandprocedures.blogspot.in 15th April 2013 My dear friends and like minded persons It is long since I touched subjects of common interest. I wish to share with you that TIME element is the one which makes a person successful or otherwise. “A stitch in time saves nine” –time is the deciding factor for results. I wish to write on a subject related to SHRI HANUMAT UPASANA on specific stars and specific dates. This will help you to reduce strain in relation to a result oriented exercise. This information is also being posted to http://ritualsandprocedures.blogspot.in where additional information from time to time is getting posted by me. 1) Chaitra Maasam – Pushyami star - result – manoradha saphalam 2) Vaisakha Maasam – Aslesha star – result – aiswarya sidhi 3) Vaisakha Krishna Paksha (Dark) Dasami – result - free from health related problems 4) Vaisakha Krishna Amavasya – result – Free from rebirth cycles 5) Jyesta Bright second day – Vidiya – result – free from leprosy 6) Ashada Maasam – Rohini Star – result – all-round success 7) Aswayuja Maasam – Mrigasira Star- result – Divine appearance 8) Kaartik Bright Dwadasi ( twelfth day) – result – unimaginable strength 9) Margasira Bright Trayodasi (thirteenth day) – result – professional prosperity 10) Pushya Maasam – Uttara Star – result – success in vocal or instrumental presentations 11) Maagh Maasam – Ardra Star – result – Manokaamana sidhi 12) Phalguna Maasam – Punarvasu Star – result – promotions in the job related matters Above these aforementioned, Hasta star associated with any Sunday; Mrigasira star associated with any Sunday are the best period for worshiping Lord Hanuman. It is quite easy to worship Lord Hanuman – the best available source is chanting of HANUMAN CHALISA. We have seen people ascending towards success in many ways, those who chant Shri Hanuman Chalisa 100 times in one sitting and the same is also mentioned in the chalisa as “Jo yeh sat vaar path kar …….” and this is to be done preferably on any Tuesday. One important note is that – I have mentioned the above in Chandramana system whereas there is a difference of 15 days in reckoning month, the dark days differ in certain systems, while the bright days are the same anywhere and in accordance with any system in India. 19th April 2013 – Sri Rama Navami – PUSHYAMI STAR AND CHAITRA MAASAM – PLEASE USE IT.
