Day's Event
What is the Maheshwara Puja and what is its significance?
Maheshwara Puja is Hinduism’s most ancient ritual. This sacred ritual is performed on the day of Aadhi Amavasya. Aadhi Amavasya is the New Moon day in the Tamil month of Aadhi. It’s one of the most auspicious days dedicated to forefathers, and ancestors. On this auspicious day Swamiji is going bless the entire Nithyananda SMKT Sangha’s ancestors to attain enlightenment and offer them “pinda” or food for the journey to their enlightenment.
Another big part of the Maheshwara Puja is the offering of food to the Master along with His monastic disciples. Offering food to the Master is equal to feeding ten thousand hungry people. The best place on Planet Earth to give “pinda tharpana” (food for the departed souls) is the stomach of a sannyasi. That is, the jataraagni (digestive fire), the hunger fire of a sannyasi is the best fire into which you can offer the pinda tharpana. The shraaddha (ritual offering to departed souls), reaches the pithrus (departed ancestors) directly. It is a thousand times greater than offering any “shraaddha”, any “pinda”, in any river, any water-body, any lake, any holy land, any holy place. Offering it in the stomach of a sannyasi is the best form of pinda tharpana and shraaddha. Swamiji will also bless us (SMKT’s or those who want to be SMKT’S) with the pinda, so that we can also have the food for the journey to enlightenment at the end of our lives.
