Garudika

Gayathri


Panchami / Puja Details / Link

Garuda Panchami Puja is observed on the fifth day of the waxing phase of moon (Shukla Paksha) in Shravan month and is dedicated to Garuda, the vehicle or Vahana of Lord Vishnu. Garuda Panchami Vrat is observed by women for the welfare and good health of their children. The day is also observed as Naga Panchami.

The process of following this pooja is very simple. As a daily job, get up early in the morning, finish your bath and make your house especially the pooja room clean. Decorate your pooja room with various flowers. In front the perumal photo put the kolam (Rangoli) using 5 different colours. Then, place a wooden stand (Manai) and on it, put the kolam. Then, on top of it, place a banana leaf (vaazhai ilay) and spread small quantity rice over the leaf. After this, in the middle of the rice, you can place a small idol of Aadhiseshan made of gold, silver etc, depending on their strength.

All might be thinking why Naaga (Evil snakes) Idol should be kept for Garuda Panchami? The main reason is, while Garudan went to get the Amirtham, the main reason why her mother was slaved was all because of the snakes. So, Indiran gave Garudan a varam that Evil snakes, which are responsible for her mother's slanevess, will be Garundan's slave from then. And, while performing this pooja, if any Naaga Dosham is found for any of the family member, it is believed that the Dosham will get vanished.

Legend has it that the day remembers Lord Garuda’s love and devotion for his mother Kadhru. Thus the day celebrates mother – son relationship. Sumangali who follow this great pooja will give birth to a brave, bold, well – talented child like Garudan. Simultaneously, if you get a chance, visit Thiru Naraiyoor Divyadesam (Nachiyar Kovil) and get the blessing of Kal (stone) Garudan and have his complete blessings.
Also Vehicle Travelers Get Protection By This Worship.

Worlds Largest Act of Faith

The Kumbh Mela holds its significance ever since the ages. Legend has it that once the Devtas (the Gods) lost their strength, and to regain their strength, they decided to churn the primordial ocean of milk on the advice of the Bramha (the God of creation) for Amrit (Nectar), which would make them immortal after drinking. Since they had lost their strength, they sought the help of Rakshas (the demons) and agreed to share the Amrit equally at the end. The Mandar Mountain was used as churning rod and Vasuki (the king of serpents) as the rope for churning. 

After churning for 1000 years, the Dhanvantri (the divine healer) appeared with “Kumbh” (the pot) in his palms containing nectar.

However, a fight broke out between the Gods and the Demons for taking the whole Amrit which went on 12 human years.

During the fight, Garuda, the celestial bird flew away with the Kumbh holding the nectar. Due to his Flight from one place to another, the drops of nectar fell at 12 places on earth .To commemorate this event, People gather at these places giving it the name, Kumbh Mela.
