Significance of Mata Ki Chowki

Mata Ki Chowki is one of the important festivals in Northern India. Every day of the year, a mass of humanity surges up steep pathways that cut across the hillside formile after mile to view Holy Pindis, hid-den in the cave at

Trikuta mountain. During Mata Ki Chowki devotees sing bhajans in favor of Durga Matha who is represented in many forms like Vaishno Maa, Santoshi Maa, Durga Maa, Kaali Maa, Ambe Maa, Saraswati Maa & Lakshmi Maa.

According to Holy Book Durga Saptashati, that people will be blessed with the accumulation of wealth, respectable children and the obstacles in their lives will be eliminated if they perform Devi Puja. It goes on to say

that without a doubt, these people will be granted all their desires, wishes and their objectives in life will be fulfilled. This will be achieved not by personal contacts but only through the divine grace and blessing of Mata Ji. The duration of a Chowki is usually two to four hours, whereas a Jaagran is all night while sitting in the presence

of the Divine Mother (Mata).

Born in Fiji to a very illustrious family well known for its social service and spiritual learning, Didi ji

later moved to New Zealand where she is currently residing. Didi Ji became aware of God‘s existence

at a very early age.

In 1980, Didi Ji went to India as a medical student but after a couple of years, she left medical collage

when she decided that medicine was not her calling. Didi ji holds B.A., LL.B(Hon) & M.A. (majoring

in English literature and Western Philosophy).

Although Didi Ji has never learned Sanskrit or read the Hindu Scriptures, her audience is always

amazed and baffled to witness such a young dynamic speaker with such vast knowledge and lots of

energy. She has won the hearts of many, young and old with her sincerity and ever giving nature.

23rd June Sunday 12.00 to 01.15 PM on VASTU BY Swami Manjulanand ji

( Dr.Manjul Kany Dwivedi )

The Ancient Secrets of Harmonizing Your Living Space)

There is a need to create awareness amongst the people so that they may know about “VASTU SHASTRA” and

enjoy their lives with peace and harmony benefiting from the wisdom and spiritual experience of our ancient sages

and seers. In fact the limited piece of land then attempts to connect itself with the all pervading unlimited power of

the Universe and establishes a harmonious relationship with that power.

As streams of Cosmic Power reflected in the forms of Sun, Earth, Air, Water & Sky do not discriminate against

individuals and the benefits they give are for all to obtain, similarly, the principles & power of Indian Vastu Shastra are

for the whole mankind and therefore anybody can derive benefits by following principles of Indian Vastu Shastra

without any consideration of caste, creed, religion and community.

The principles of Vastu Shastra are being prevalent since Vedic era. Surprisingly, we people though accept the

sovereignty of Vedic Science Yoga, meditation etc. but probably, at the same time consider Vastu Shastra as a thing of

negligence. Vastu is the ancestor of Feng-Shui. ‘Vastu’ has a wide effect on human health and is a supportive science of

Ayurveda and Yoga. In fact, the three sciences make their treatment using three common basic elements with different

names: Vayavya(Air), Agneya(Fire), and Eshan(Water) in Vastu Shastra; Vaat(Air), Pitta(Fire), and Kuf(Water) in

Ayurveda; ‘Eda Nadi ’(Chandra/Water), ‘Pingla Nadi’ (Surya/Fire) and ‘Sushumna Nadi’ (Cosmic Energy/Air/Space) in

Yoga. Vastu stipulates that a ‘Vastu Purush’ exists in every surrounding. The cosmic energy is the base of ‘Vastu

Shastra’. Being enlightened about Vastu is a powerful defensive tool against family tensions, career problems, mental

depression, wealth loss, diseases, and accidents.

Swami Manjulanand (Dr. Manjul Kant Dwivedi) is a spiritual Guru and a world renowned Vastu expert. The Divine Grace has bestowed

him with the inherent knowledge of “Vastu” and communication power with invisible energies. He was born in a Brahman family of

Hardoi (U.P, INDIA), which falls within the influence area of ‘Namisharanya’, a great center of pilgrimage where 88 thousand sages had

practiced penance for knowledge and liberation. He uses a spiritual approach and senses vibrations of deities present in Vastu-Purusha

and merged in every particle of land and building. According to him, the whole universe is a manifestation of cosmic energies of that

Super Power. If we are able to comprehend and conceive the flow of this energy, there will be no problems left.

Snana Yatra(Snana Purnima)

Millenia ago, king Indradyumna started the ceremony of bathing(snana-ytra)Lord Jagannath with 108

pots of sandal-scented well water. At that time, Lord Jagannath told the King that for fifteen days after

snana-yatra, no one should se the Deities. Snana-Yatra occurs on Jyestha Purnima(June Full Moon), one

of the hottest days of the year. Skanda Purana says that Bhagavan Sri Krishna manifested His Daru

Bramha form as Jagannath Swami on this day. Therefore, Jyestha Purnima(Snana Yatra day) is the

appearance day of Lord Jagannath or Birth day of Lord Jagannath

ust before sunrise, Balabhadra, Sudarsana, Subhadra and finally Jagannath are brought in a hopping

style procession to the bathing platform located on the north-east corner of the temple’s outer

boundary wall(Meghanada Pacheri). The deities stand the whole day within public view under a multi-

colored canopy, Pujaris bathe the Deities(Abhiseka) with 108 golden water pots of refreshing sandal-

scented water. From snana-yatra until the end of rath-yatra, Lord Jagannath is cared for by a group of

pujaris called Daitapatis, who are descendants of the Brahmin Vidyapati and Lalita, the daughter of the

tribal(sabara) chief Visvavasu.
