Jai Gurudev,

 

In Sanskrit Language the word 'Anna' means food /grains and 'Purna' means full or complete. The name Annapoorneshwari means "Feeding one and all".

Mata Annapoorneshwari is the Divine mother of the universe – goddess of food; an incarnation of goddess Parvati. She not only gives food and riches to her children, but also takes care of their spiritual emancipation by bestowing the nectar of Atma Gnana - the knowledge of the self.

Mata Sri Annapoorneshwari Devi is depicted with a jeweled vessel containing food in one hand and a spoon in the other to distribute the food to her devotees. The Sri Annapurna Ashtakam composed by Shankaracharya is devoted to this goddess.

 

Anna Prasad Kshetras (Temples of Mata Annapoorneshwari) were everywhere in our ancient Vedic times.

It was believed that by worshipping this goddess one will never be out of food anytime in life. Every Grihastha (house holder) would not touch his meal unless he has fed students, travelers or other lonely/hungry persons in the village. A girl when got married was given an idol of Mata Annapoorneshwari by her mother as a blessing; as she is considered none other than the Ma Annapoorneshwari for her family taking responsibility of feeding her family nourishing food. 

 

While there is enough food for everyone in the world the distribution gets imbalanced because of greed. If those who have more make sure that no one is left hungry around then every house can be an Anna Prasad Kshetra. Abundance can be seen everywhere.

A society where every house is a temple of Mata Annapoorneshwari not a soul is left hungry. It is a very rich society. But a society where food is sold for greed decays.

Gurupoornima

AUM SHRI GURUBHYO NAMA: 

Guru Purnima, or the Full Moon of the Guru, is celebrated in the month of Ashadha (July-August). This day is significant for disciples who seek to get initiated by their Guru, students who desire to get the blessings of their teachers, and for everyone who wants to honor persons of great wisdom and learning. This is a rare time to solve unsolved problems.

The Greatness of Guru

The Guru is considered an embodiment of the archetypes Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. As per a Vedic saying, Guru's form is the basis of meditation, Guru's feet are the basis of worship, Guru's words are the basis of mantra (sacred sound), and Guru's grace is the basis of enlightenment.

The word 'Guru' means remover of darkness (In Sanskrit, “Gu” means darkness, “Ru” means remover). Thus, Guru Purnima is the day of eradicating ignorance and illuminating our lives with knowledge. On this day, Guru can inspire us to overcome our limitations and conjure a life of wonderful possibilities.

Time for Spiritual Renewal

 The Full Moon represents enlightenment, which is the full flowering of consciousness. On the Vedic calendar, Guru Purnima is the Full Moon that falls near the summer solstice, the month of greatest light. This Full Moon is important because it is the time when all divine teachers shower blessings on the earth providing increased energy for our spiritual awakening.

On Guru Purnima, grace from these Masters is easily accessible to all those who think of them.

 Also, there is a Guru element inherent in all of us. Accessing the energy of the vortexes visited by Siddha Gurus can help in the unfolding of that element within us, so that higher wisdom can effortlessly descend upon us.

For Guru Poornima 2011, Pujya Guruji has ordained a one-week Silence Sadhana Shibir in Katarkhadak from July 8 to July 15.

Pujya Guruji will himself be present at Katarkhadak during this Shibir including the day of July 15 which is the day of Guru Poornima 2011.
