Pithru

The rice must be kept in a banana leaf (the best) or in a plate only on the daily basis. When you do Pithru kaaryam or Thithi or during Thevasam days it can be kept in floor. When keeping the food a.mantra should be recited. It’s called ‘ Bali Mantra ‘.

” Balir Vibhishano Bheeshama Kabilo Naaratho Arjuna, Mahavishnu Prasaa thoyam Sarve Kruhnandhi Vaishnavaa ”

All the above are the names of great Vishnu bhakthas. By chanting this mantra all these Vishnu bhakthas will take the rice through the Crow and bless the ancestors or Pithru, Pithru in turn will clear all the curses.

” Bhaana Raavana Chandesa Nandhi Brungi Ridaathaya – Mahadeva Prasaathoyam Gruhnandhu Saambhavaa ” if you are a shiv Bhaktha or Smartha chant this. Banasura, Raavanan, Chandikeshwarar, Nandhikeshwarar and Brunki Rishi have the supreme power of appearing power to land at yourn home to bless the home where they promptly keep food for crow. By chanting this sloka, they will appear, take the food & water to Pithru Lola and give it your Pithru.

Chaturdashi

During the Karthika Month, Vaikuntha Chaturdashi is also one among the prominent festivals which marks the event of Lord Vishnu donating Kashi to Lord Shiva and accepting Chakra. In celebrations, Lord Vishnu offers Bael leaves to Lord Vishwanath and Lord Vishwanath offers tulasi leaves to Lord Bindu Madhav.

Kashi

Kashi is divided into two parts – Vishnu Kashi and Shiva Kashi.

  1. From Manikarnika Ghat to the Adi Keshava Ghat, the city is known as the Vishnu Kashi. 
  2. From Manikarnika Ghat till Assi Ghat, this sacred city is known by the name Shiva Kashi. 
As per the scriptures, Lord Vishnu donated Kashi in charity to Lord Shiva as per his request. After receiving Kashi from Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva donated half of this sacred city back to Lord Vishnu. As a gesture of gratitude to Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva created Vishnu Kunda at the Manikarnika Ghat. Any devotee who takes a bath in this Kunda at 12 pm is released from the shackles of birth and death. The Vishnu Kunda is also called as Manikarnika Kunda because Lord Shiva’s pearl studded ear-ring had once fallen in this Kunda.

ferocious

In some of the avataras of Vishnu such as

  1. Sri Narasimha Avatara, Sri Boovaraha Avatara, Sri Matsyavatara, Sri Kurmavatara, after the enormity of the avatara, Sri Vishnu was too 'ugra' or 'ferocious' and unable to assume his former self. 
  2. At this juncture, Lord Shiva is said to have assumed forms that brought forth a battle between huge Vishnu form and himself at the end of which Shiva is said to have cooled down Sri Vishnu.

"Ekam Padam Gayayantu
Makkayantu Dwitiyakam
Tritiyam Sthapitam Divyam Muktyai Shuklasya Sannidhau"

Lord left His



First footprints in Gaya - Place of  Form GOD
