Namaskaram Shubhodayam
Mangalavaram, April 13, 2021, Sri Plava Naama Samvatsaram, Uttaraayanam, Vasantha Ruthu, Chaithra Maasam, Shukla Paksham. Padyami.
శ్రీ ప్లవ నామ సంవత్సర ఉగాది శుభాకాంక్షలు
Wishing you all a healthy and blessed year ahead! 🙂🙏
Many are asking what does
ప్లవ (Plava) mean. It means a Tarangam. A wave 🌊.
In the Varaha Samhita you find :
"దుర్భిక్షాయ ప్లవ ఇతి. తతశ్శోభనే భూరితోయం..."
That which will usher in goodness after a dark phase. Sharvari meant darkness!
We pray for good tidings ahead!🙏
"దుర్భిక్షాయ ప్లవ ఇతి. తతశ్శోభనే భూరితోయం...." దుర్భరమైన ప్రతికూలతను దాటించి, చీకటి నుంచి వెలుగు లోకి నడిపిస్తుందని ఒక అర్థం....
ప్లవ తన పేరును సార్థకం చేసుకుంటుందని ఆశించటం తర్కసహితమైన ఆలోచన. 😀🙏
And celebrations and prayers across India for a better year ahead! Our traditional Hindu calendars are so beautiful! Wonder why we continue to stick to that horrible Gregorian Church calendar! 😏
Let's celebrate our multiplicity!
🤩🙏🤩🙏🤩

Auspicious morning of Magha Shukla Ekadasi when Bheeshma, the grand old Pitamaha of the Mahabharata, revealed the greatness of Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam to the Pandavas, as he lay on a bed of arrows in the war of Kurukshetra. Today is also popular as Bheeshma Ekadasi.
🙂🙏🙂🙏🙂
Ok! Let me explain why and what.
In Shanthi Parva of Mahabharatam, we know Bheeshma decided to leave his mortal coil on the 8th phase in bright fortnight of Magha, Magha Shukla Ashtami, also known as #BheeshmaAshtami.
Bheeshma was not his original name. He was King Devavrata. Due to the uncompromising Pratigya he took, he was addressed as 'Bheeshma'. He was also a master of Vedas and Shastras. Hence, out of everyone in the Kuru clan, he was addressed as "Bheeshmacharya" with reverence. 🙏
Spiritual leader Satya Sai Baba of Puttaparthi was a great supporter of @VHPDigital. Everyone from Ashok Singhal ji to Vajpayee ji were his devotees. Baba's spiritual successor Madhusudan Sai follows his master's footsteps. Has donated massively to the Ram Mandir construction. 😊
More support for the Ram Mandir! The firey orator Sanyasin Sri Sadhvi Rithambara ji! Who doesn't remember her brilliant speeches! She donated one crore rupees for the Mandir!
Jai Shri Ram! 😊🙏😊
OMG! This veteran devotee gave her life savings of Rs 2100 and passed away soon after! It was as if she was meant to do this in her Karma! God bless her!
My super talented circle of Vedam friends, are like a large family by now. Each of them here are studying Vedam full time. Some are Ghanapaatis, some Jata and Kramaapatis. Some are also studying Shastra and Jyotishya. Revisiting Yakshagana Prasangas is a collective timepass! 😀🙏
The Prasanga here is from Lava-Kusha Samvaada. If you can understand Kannada, you will enjoy it better.
Lava and Kusha are in the forest. Have caught the horse that was left. Two soldiers come in search of them. And a conversation begins. 😀🙏
The soldiers ask the two kids their Pravara and Gotra. A beautiful dialogue between Lava and Kusha and these two soldiers. They mention they don't know all those things. They only know their mother who everyone in the Valmiki Ashram address "Amma". They don't even know her name.
Vijayadashami is a day we consider extremely auspicious for Vidyaarambam. A friend sent me this wonderful video of Vidyarthis in a Patashala in Hyderabad reciting Taittreya Upanishad.
May the power of these ancient chants heal the world! 😊🙏
I am putting out a picture thread on some of the greatest living scholars and Maha Vidwans of the Telugu regions. Each of them have performed countless Somayagams, Poundarika Yagams and so on. Just having their Darshanam is enough! What better day than an auspicious Ekadasi! 😊🙏
Sri Khambhampati Nageshwara Avadhani Garu of Vijayawada. A great scholar of Krishna Yajurveda who accepted Sanyasashrama to become the head of Sri Sringeri Sivaganga Peetham, an Upapeetham of Sringeri in Karnataka.
