६४ योगिनी-पूजा

Observed on Amāvāsyā tithi of Śrāvaṇaḥ (lunar) month (Sūryōdayaḥ/puurvaviddha).

Details

अनध्यायः

Observed on Amāvāsyā tithi of every (lunar) month (Sāṅgavaḥ/paraviddha).

Anadhyayana on account of amāvāsyā. Several tithis in a month are nitya-anadhyayana days, including prathamā, aṣṭamī, chaturdaśī, amāvāsyā and pūrṇimā. Manu has said that performing adhyayana on these days destroys the Guru (Amavasya), Shishya (Chaturdashi) and the vīrya of the brahma (vēda) itself (Ashtami/Purnima). Similarly, Jabali Rishi has said that Adhyayana on prathama hurts the buddhi while adhyayana on chaturdaśī hurts the brahma (vēda) itself!

हारीतः—
प्रतिपत्सु चतुर्दश्यामष्टम्यां पर्वणोर्द्वयोः।
श्वोऽनध्यायेऽद्य शर्वर्यां नाधीयीत कदाचन॥
मनुः—
अमावास्या गुरुं हन्ति शिष्यं हन्ति चतुर्दशी।
ब्रह्माष्टकापौर्णमास्यस्तस्मात्ताः परिवर्जयेदिति॥
याज्ञवल्क्यः—
पञ्चदश्यां चतुर्दश्यां अष्टम्यां राहुसूतके।

देवी-पर्व-५

Observed on Amāvāsyā tithi of Śrāvaṇaḥ (lunar) month (Āśvinaḥ/paraviddha).

इळैयाऩ्कुडि माऱ नायऩ्मार् (४) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Maghā nakshatra of Siṁhaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

The 4th of the Nayanmars was Ilayankudi Mara Nayanmar, a farmer named Maranar from the village of Ilayankudi. He was a devout follower of Lord Shiva and His devotees. He practiced Maaheswara Puja, a form of worship involving honouring and serving Lord Shiva’s devotees with utmost reverence, as if serving the Lord Himself. This included welcoming devotees, washing their feet, offering them food, and treating them with great respect and kindness.

Though Nayanmar was blessed with wealth, he believed his riches were meant to serve the Lord’s devotees. His devotion remained steadfast even as his wealth dwindled. Eventually, he sold all his possessions and even himself to continue serving the devotees.

One rainy day, with no food at home, Nayanmar and his wife were visited by a Shiva Bhakta. Despite their own hunger, they welcomed the devotee warmly. Nayanmar’s wife suggested gathering the grain-seeds they had recently sown to prepare a meal. After they fed the devotee and Nayanmar went to check on him, he found the devotee had vanished. Instead, Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathy appeared in the sky, revealing that the devotee was Lord Shiva in disguise. They blessed Nayanmar and his wife for their unwavering devotion and promised them eternal life in the divine abode. This story exemplifies the profound impact of selfless service and devotion to the Supreme and His devotees.

सोमवती अमावास्या

amāvāsyā on a Monday is as sacred as a solar eclipse. Particularly good for performing pradakshinam of Pippala tree.

अमावस्या तु सोमेन सप्तमी भानुना सह।
चतुर्थी भूमिपुत्रेण सोमपुत्रेण चाष्टमी।
चतस्रस्तिथयस्त्वेताः सूर्यग्रहणसन्निभाः॥

मूलतो ब्रह्मरूपाय मध्यतो विष्णुरूपिणे।
अग्रतः शिवरूपाय वृक्षराजाय ते नमः॥
अक्षिस्पन्दं भुजस्पन्दं दुःस्वप्नं दुर्विचिन्तनम्।
शत्रूणां च समुत्पन्नम् अश्वत्थ शमयस्व मे॥

दुःस्वप्नं दुष्टचिन्तां च दुष्टज्वरपराभवान्।
विलयं नय पापानि पिप्पल त्वं हरिप्रिय॥
—स्कन्दपुराणे नागरखण्डे
सोमवत्या अमायास्तु व्रतं कृत्वा सती भवेत्।
पतिपुत्रधनैः पूर्णा जन्मजन्मनि निश्चितम्॥
विधवा चेत् करोतीदं न पुनर्विधवा क्वचित्।
तस्मात्स्त्रिया सुभगया कर्तव्यं खलु तद् व्रतम्॥
अत्र मासनियमो नास्ति। यदा कदा सोमवारयुक्ताऽमा भवेत् तदैव सोमवतीयोगः। अयं दिनान्तर्गत एव कर्तव्यः।
