Festival :
Pavitraropanam(Raghupakarma)
Date : 25/08/1999
Details:- It
is believed that sacred thread worn this day (The Full Moon day of Shravana month) brings
good health. The consecrated Thread threefolds worn by Brahmacharis (Bachelors) and
sixfold ones worn by married ( three fold on account of man and three fold belonging to
his spouse) is ordained by Seriptures to followers of religious rituals. From the day of
Upanayana (Inner eye opening day) a man has to wear the Sacred Thread with its three folds
representing Bhakthi (Devotion), Jnana (Wisdom) and Karthavya (duty)
At
Sunrise, Midday and Sunset, thrice a day Sandhyavandane (Salutation to Sun Lord) Chanting
the Gayathri Manthra is to be offered holding the sacred thread. By this all Evil motives
in his would dwindle and Light of Wisdom would dawn from Energy of Sun God. The Gayathri
Manthra is translated means that the Lord in his form as Sun God Energy trigger wisdom in
us.
The threads that yield cloth to cover our shame is sacred to us and on this day of
Rigupakarma we offer our Gratitude to it by consecrating it at the feet of Lord through
Mantras (hymns) and wear the same on us. |
