वृषभ-देव शिव दिगंबर, ढंकते सबकी लाज।
निर्बल के बल शिव बनें, पूर्ण करें हर काज।।

HOW SHOULD WE OFFER BEL PATRA TO SHIV
It is believed that Girija resides in the roots of Bel tree, Maheshwari in stalk, Dakshayani in branches, Parvati in leaves and Gauri in flowers.

This is the reason why Shiva is very fond of Belpatra.

* Bel leaves which are of Tri-foliate form are offered to Shiv
* Do not pluck Bel Patra on lunar dates of Chaturthi, Ashtami, Navami, Chaturdashi, Amavasya and Monday

* Leaves should always be cut off from twigs one by one such that whole branch is not damaged

* Offer Bel leaves only with the help of ring finger, thumb and middle finger
* Always invert Belpatra before offering to Shiva (smooth part of leaf should be on the Shivlinga)

* If new belpatra is not found, the belpatra offered by another can be washed again and offered to Shiv

* The Belpatra should not be torn from anywhere

SIGNIFICANCE AND KATHA OF KAMIKA EKADASHI
(ON 24 July 2022)
This is the first Ekadashi of Shrawan month.

It is believed that worshiping Sri Vishnu with devotion and observing fast on Kamika Ekadashi destroys the sins of bhaktas and fulfills their wishes.

Yellow color has special significance in Kamika Ekadashi fast.
Once, a powerful warrior killed a pious bhakta of Sri Vishnu.

To get rid of the sin of killing an innocent man, he performed Kamika Ekadashi vrat.

He observed fasting by offering prayers to the Sridhar form of Sri Vishnu and was absolved of his sin.

VITTHAL AND BHAKT SAKHUBAI (विट्ठल और भक्त सखूबाई)
In a village near Pandharpur, a couple had a daughter Sakhu Bai who was devoted to Vitthal from childhood.

She was married to one Krishna Sharma. Her husband and in-laws were cruel towards her. Despite this, she had no ill feeling towards them and did her duties religiously.
One day, she saw some people going to Pandharpur to have Vitthal’a darshan.

She too wanted to go but her in-laws refused and tied her to a pillar.

When she was alone, a woman looking exactly like her appeared and told her to go while she would take her place in the house.

HOW GANESHA BECAME EKDANTA (HAVING SINGLE TOOTH)
There are three stories on how Ganesha became Ekdanta:-

1. Ganesha was writing Mahabharata which was being narrated to him by Maharishi Vyasa.

His pen broke suddenly and Ganesha broke one of his tusk to continue writing. So he got the name Ekdanta.
2. Once Parashuram Ji came to visit Shiva but Ganesha stopped him as Shiva was resting.

Angry Parashuram threw his axe at Ganesha.

Ganesha recognised it as Shiva’s weapon (Shiva had given the axe to Parashuram). So he received the blow with humility and his tusk broke.

प्रेम ही वो बंधन है जिसमें सारे जगत को बांधने वाले ईश्वर भी स्वयं बंध जाते हैं

STORY OF DWARKADHEESH AND HIS BHAKT BADANA
There was a girl Badana who came everyday from Dakor to Dwarka, to worship Krishna.

One day, pleased with her devotion, Prabhu followed her back to Dakor.

When his murti was found missing at Dwarka, the Pujaris searched everywhere and found it with Badana.
They agreed to let her keep the murti if she gave gold equal to the Murti’s weight.

She kept her gold nose ring on one side of weighing scale. The simple nose ring proved to be heavier than the murti. This was Prabhu’s leela because he knew that she had no other gold to give.
