Embodiments of Love!
“And, when you want
something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
It may look simple;
It may appear silly;
But that is how Nature conspires…..
After leaving Mumbai I was in Indore for one full year;
I had a Tamil calendar (panchangam) to show me the 1 st of every Tamil
month, when I perform tharpanam-the monthly ritual offering water and sesame
seeds to my departed elders
I had a thumb rule to perform on that day which states the day as Mesha
Ravi, Rishabha Ravi etc.
There was no confusion;
I shifted to Ahmedabad;
I was on my routine.
One day my younger brother Balaji telephoned and shared that the
Tharpanam ritual was to be done the next day;
I referred to the calendar; it suggested that day was “kanya Ravi”;
I was confused; I called the Pundit and asked why I should not perform
the ritual on that particular day; he said that is should refer to the calendar
and check for “ shada seethi punya kala” for Kanya month;
I was confused that now I could not decide with the help of calendar
only to specify a day for that ritual; I thoroughly checked the internet; I could
not find any guidance.
In my inner mind I have been searching for an answer.
Days passed by;
I had a method book for that ritual; during the marriage of my daughter
my book was misplaced and has gone in somebody’s bag;
So I asked my brother to send a book from Chennai;
He sent;
I used for the last new moon day( Amavasya)
This day I had Dhanur Masa; I see Shada seethi mentioned ….
Shada seethi applicable for Midhuna Ravi, Kanya Ravi, Dhanur Ravi and
Meena Ravi;
My confusion is resolved
I may not immediately have a clue as to what is the difference between
the “ Ravi” phenomenon and “ shada seethi” phenomenon but I have the clarity as
to when I should perform the ritual supposed to be on the 1st of
every Tamil month
Moral of the episode: Mind has the power to FIND the answer for any
question, if it is genuine and sincere.

See you in the next episode
With lots of love
