Shwetaark Ganpati

Shwetaark Ganpati

Over the ages people forgot the significance of these days and businessmen used the occasion to perform worships for the expansion of their business. This is not the real purpose of these two wonderful days.

Very few people give a thought as to how to celebrate the festival of Diwali. on the day of Diwali a new year begins. Early in the morning on this day one should have a bath and perform at least three types of worships.

Firstly one should offer prayers to the Guru. Then one should pay one's respect to one's parents. And lastly one should worship one's family deity.

It is when a person obtains the good wishes of these three that his life can become totally successful. It is one's chief duty to propitiate them and offer one's heart felt regards in their feet.

Generally all family members get together to perform the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, eat together the choicest dishes and light lamps.

One should try to prepare sweets at home and avoid buying from the market. Only home made and the best sweets should be offered to the gods and the deities.

It is also an important ritual to light candles and ghee lamps in and around the house. This is not a mere tradition. Fire represents energy. And the night of Diwali is moonless.

Lighting lamps in this night signifies dispelling of darkness. It also signifies that no matter how difficultY any problem that one faces in life, through the light of the soul one could find way through the darkest of times.

All try to accomplish the worship and Sadhana of Goddess Mahalakshmi in this night in the hope that the Goddess would bless one with property and affluence. But before one tries Sadhana of Lakshmi one should understand how Lakshmi was born.

She did not appear in an ordinary manner, rather she originated from the ocean at the tine of its churning. When she appeared she was chosen by Lord Vishnu as his consort. This tale signifies that Lakshmi or wealth can be had in life only after putting in great efforts.

No doubt good luck is important in life. But success comes only through hard work. Where there is perseverance there is bound to be success.

Perseverance means a strong will power so that the mind could become sharp and concentrated. Lakshmi has been called Karma Prabhaav Prakaashini i.e. were there is hard work its fruit manifests in the form of the divinity and blessings of Lakshmi.

Those who lack determination in their lives and are lazy, unwilling to work, a prey to bad habits have weak minds. And a person with a weak mind cannot rise high in life or become wealthy.

On the day next to Diwali, a special worship known as Govardhan Pooja is accomplished. This worship is performed before sun rise at the entrance to one's home.

In it a special Yantra is prepared with cow dung and a ghee lamp is lit. In Indian mythology it is said that all gods are present in the body of a cow. That is why this ritual is performed and cow dung is worshipped.

It is on this day that people visit each other's home to wish each other. Everyone tries to include others in his or her happiness. Guests are most welcome on this day and they are treated to sweets and dishes.

The above mentioned points should be kept in mind while celebrating the festival of Diwali.

Here I am revealing some high level rituals of some of the greatest masters of the world of Tantra. They have been guarded secretly for ages, for they are very powerful and quick in producing results. It is said that the sun might well fail to rise from the East but these rituals cannot fail.

In the field of Tantra Guru Gorakhnath is remembered with great respect. He accomplished a very powerful Sadhana of Goddess Lakshmi and made his hermitage so prosperous that no matter how much was spent, the wealth never ran out. It is said that Goddess Lakshmi ever remained present in his hermitage. Many Yogis even claimed to have her glimpse there. In the night of a Sunday place a Shwetaark Ganpati in a plate and smear it with vermilion. Then with a silver straw write on the idol - Shreem Hreem Shreem In the night wear a Dhoti/Saree and stand facing East. Then with a Sfatik rosary chant 11 rounds of the Mantra.

Do not sit down or sleep or drink water till 11 rounds are over. If you feel tired you can stand against a wall. There is no need of any lamp or incense in this Sadhana. If you wish you can light an oil or ghee lamp. This is an unfailing ritual and is very success oriented.
