beejakshara mantra VARALAKSHMI-PUJA-INFO-IMPORTANCE-STORY

Varalakshmi Vratam  When and How

 Varalakshmi Vratam is an important pooja performed by many women in the month of Sravanamasam / Aavani. In this month many women perform Mangalagouri vratam on Tuesdays and Mahalakshmi puja on Fridays.

VaraLakshmi Vratham is performed on The 2nd firday of Sravana maasa or the firday before full moon day (Pournami).It is believed that worship of Goddess Lakshmi on this day will bring health, wealth and prosperity. Vara means boon. Needless to say, performing puja (in the form of a Vratam) to Goddess Varalakshmi will bring in boons to those who performs with utmost devotion.

Those who fail to perform the Vratam can do it so on any other Friday of the Sravanamasam. Eight forces or energies are recognised and they are known as Sri (Wealth), Bhu (Earth), Sarasvati (learning), Priti (love), Kirti (Fame), Santi (Peace), Tushti(Pleasure) and Pushti(Strength).

Each one of these forces is called a Lakshmi and all the eight forces are called the Ashta Lakshmis or the eight Lakshmis of the Hindus. Vishnu is also called Ashta Lakshmi Padhi which is equivalent to saying that he is the asylum for the eight-Lakshmis or forces. Lakshmi is a woman. So she will more readily sympathise with women.

Hence this varalakshmi Vratam is performed by women invoking the blessings of Lakshmi on their family and bless them with health, wealth and prosperity. Preparation of Varalakshmi Vratham : Goddess Lakshmi loves cleaner and tidier homes.

Hence,the pooja room and the house is cleaned on previous day itself. Puja related vessels are cleaned and polished. On the Puja day Women woke up early morning clean the pooja room and make kolam (rangoli) with rice flour. Keep a flat wooden platform/ plate spread a blouse piece over it. Over the blouse piece spread a cup of rice .

Place a cloth and spread some raw rice on it and place kalash on it. The Kalash is half-filled with water and decorated with betelleaves, usually five in number.The Kalash tray can be filled with turmeric, kumkum, sandalwood and other Pooja items..

The coconut is applied with turmeric and is richly decorated with kumkum. Now close it with with coconut with red cloth folded like pyramid,(look like a cap). The features of the Goddess are also drawn on the coconut to make the image of Her to facilitate worship. Jewellery is put round the coconut. Decorate and place some flowers.

Story of SRI VARAMAHALAKSHMI

The story happens in a beautiful town called Kundinagaram located in the Kingdom of Vidarbha (Vidarba Rajyam). In that Kundinagram town, Goddess Adilakshmi, being pleased by her devotion tells Charumathi in a dream and directed her to perform the vrata to enable Her to fulfil her desires. Charumathi wakes up and tells her husband about the dream. Charumathi along with some neighbourhood women takes bath in the wee hours and prepare a mandapam and invites Varalakshmi Devi. She recites the following sloka along with other women with utmost faith and devotion.

Sri Maha Lakshmi Stotram

Lakshmi Ksheerasamudra rajatanyam sri rangadhameswareem
Dasibootha samastha devavanitham lokaika deepamkuram
Sri manmanda kataksha labdhivibhat brahmendra gangadharam
Twamtrayamlokyakutumbhineem sasijavandemukunda priyam

Then she wore nine threads Thoranam( A band with yellow thread) to right hand and offers naivadyam to Goddess Lakshmi Devi. On the completion of the first circumstance, she heard she found Gajjelu, Andelu and other ornaments. On the second circumstance, they found kankanams made of navaratnams to their hands. On completion of the third circumstance, they found immense wealth. Then Charumathi offers Tambulam to the brahmin priests and distribute the vrata prasadam to the relatives and lead a happy life. Since then, Hindu women perform this vrata with utmost faith and trust till today. With this, Lord Eswara concludes telling the story to Goddess Parvathi.

beejakshara mantra Mantralaym - A Place where great saint burried himself.

About Mantralaya Raghavendra Swamy - 
Mantralaya Acharya Sri Raghavendra Swamy

Madhwa(it is a sub sect of brahmins in indian caste system) Saint Sri Raghavendra attained his Jeeva Samadhi (burried himself when alive) at Mantralayam near Kurnool some 300 years ago.

A large number of followers and devotees of all religious sects throng this little town located on the banks of river Tungabhadra all through the year. The mutt, called the Raghavendra brindavanam, houses the jeeva samadhi of Swamy Raghavendra, a great saint of the sixteenth century who was an exponent of the Dwaita School.

01-SREE RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY BHAJANALU1
He entered alive into the samadhi on Bidagi day on shravana bahula in Vasodhikritanama sanvatsara. On that day the saint completed all the morning rituals and granted final benediction to the assembled devotees and said, "Though I cast off my mortal frame, I shall always be here and protect the sanatana dharma according to the command of Shri Hari.

I will abide here in my subtle body and protect all my devotees". So saying the saint directed his tearful devotees to raise a structure of holy stones and seal it with 1200 Laxminarayana Saligrams. The life of Saint Raghavendra is a source of great inspiration and strength to his myriad devotees. Called Venkatanath in his purvashrama days, Swami Raghavendra was a grahastha.

When his Guru Sudhindra Tirtha wanted to make him the head of his Peetha, Venkatnath politely refused saying that he could not abandon his duties as a grahastha to his wife and his son. However, as per divine design he had a vision that convinced him that he should enter sanyasa and assume the mantle of the peetha. Thus began the story of saint Raghavendra.

Throughout his life Swami Raghavendra worked tirelessly to spread the worship of Hari and with the blessings of his lord performed many a miracle. The Devotees are allowed to do the ’arathi’ themselves to the sanctum sanctorum.

Listen Raghavendra Swamy Bhajans. 02-SREE RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY BHAJANALU2
The mutt also undertakes the feeding of the devotees once a day during lunchtime. The drive back to the railway station to catch the Chennai mail is pleasant. Thousand sunflowers bid you farewell on the way.
