Let us welcome the Tamil New Year SARVADHARI !

Dear Chithra amma,

Really so nice gesture of you explaining each and every traditional&customs.

We feel we always have some one for us to ask our doubts, as we all are very far from our family& elders.


Happy Tamil New year to all Our ILites....:)).

Dear Corallux,
As far as I know there is no stipulated puja to be done on New Years Day.
It is customary to keep all auspicious things like - gold or silver or plain coins,rice, dhal,fruits, vegetables, coconut, a mirror etc in front of the deity & look at it, first thing in the morning. Then light the lamp. Make any sweet & offer naivedhyam.
Love,
Chithra.

Could you please help with more info on the pooja procedure for that day (home & Business)?

Thanks a lot for all your help.

Dear Chithra aunty,

Let me first wish you ...

TAMIL PUTHTHAANDU NALVAAZHTHUKKAL!

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS TAMIL NEW YEAR!

You have listed down the deepam shlokams...and I have a small doubt..

one of the shlokas

1 - deepo jyotih param brahma deepo jyotih janaardhanaha
deepo harathu me paapam sandhyaa deepo namo(a)stutae

தீ(3)போ ஜோதி பரம் ப்(3)ரம்ஹ தீ(3)போ ஜோதி ஜனார்தன:
தீ(3)போ ஹரது மே பாபம் ஸந்த்(4)யா தீ(3)போ நமோஸ்துதே

you have written deepo twice in the first line..

whereas the same shloka that I am having, it says...deepam in the same place.



While lighting the lamp (dipa,) the Hindu prayer is:

Deepam-jyothi para-brahma
Deepam jyothi Janardhanaha Deepo Haratume Papam Sandhyaa deepam namo-stute

"I prostrate to the dawn/dusk lamp whose light is Supreme Knowledge which removes the darkness of ignorance and by which all can be achieved. "

Does both mean the same meaning as "Lamp" even though one says "deepo" and the other says " deepam"?

Can you please clarify this?

Regards
Krithika (Jithiks)

Dear Krithika,
Yes, both mean the same. It is called "Pata bedham".
Love,
Chithra.

Thankyou Chitraji for posting the slokams.
I am proceeding to Sabarimala on 9th and this years new Year will be in presence of HIM.
Happy New Year Wishes to all our ILs.

To all my Tamil Friends Happy Sarvadhari

Dear chits,

You are my guru where puja procedures are concerned. I follow your words like a good disciple. Your second post if full of "???" why.... Some other regional font you have used? I cant read it.

Dear Mals,
Second is fully in tamil! First is good enough for those who can't read tamil.
Love,
Chits.
