What is Vishnupathi?
The nine hour period from 0130 hours to 1030 hours IST on November 16, 2006
is of great spiritual importance. As we have pointed out elsewhere in AUMzine
(articles 1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7,
8),
spiritual aspirants can make great spiritual progress
by following specific worship procedures revealed by the Siddhas for this particular time period.
The Sathguru, Guru Mangala Gandharva Venkataraman, has been revealing these Siddha procedures
for many years now. We hope that Vaishnavites and Narayana devotees everywhere will make it a point to observe this most important Vishnupathi worship procedure as revealed to us by the Siddhas.
The Vishnupathi time period occurs once in three months. Thus there are four Vishnupathi time
periods in each varusham (year). Since each varusham repeats once
in 60 years, each of these Vishnupathi periods occurs once only in 60 years.
In other words, if you miss celebrating the First Vishnupathi of the Viya varusham (year), you'll
have to wait 60 years for the next one! Hence seize the moment and celebrate each Vishnupathi
in accordance with Siddha procedures.
The Vishnupathi auspicious time period marks that time in a different era during which
Lord Narayana performed miracles for the sake of His devotees. Each of these auspicious
Vishnupathi time periods should be observed by devotees using a specific set of
Siddha worship procedures.
For August 17, 2ØØ6, these pooja procedures have been
described in the September, October and November
2006 issues of Sri Agasthia Vijayam, the Ashram monthly magazine.
Please refer to this issue for details and do the Vishnupathi pooja as described therein.
As with all poojas, the Lord blesses the devotee with both spiritual and material wealth.
The September, October and November 2006 issue of the Ashram monthly magazine
also describes the great spiritual events that happened during the Viya Avani maasa
(i.e., second) Vishnupathi during various yugas.
So make sure you read these issues of the magazine.
