MANKI AKSHARVAS - 8, June 2015

:: MANKI AKSHARVAS ::

The divine mare Manki was so fortunate that the Lord Supreme BhagwanSwaminarayan roamed in Satsang for majority of His Satsang tour by adoring her back! It is said that she was running very fast so her speed was compared with that of eagle by Premanand Swami.

Shreeji  Mahraj loved her so much and she loved Shrijimaharaj. So she became indivisible part of the existence of ShrijiMaharaj.

After departure of Shree Hari, She Stopped eating and drinking anything. Gopalanand Swami and Acharya Shree RaghuvirjiMaharajtried a lot but was null and void!

On the 13th day after ShrijiMaharajdeparted for His abode Akshardham, She also gave up her body and ShrijiMaharaj took her to His Akshardham!

Even today the monument of Manki is there in Lakshmivadi – Gadhada, where the body of ShreejiMaharaj was cremated. Even today so many devotees salute to this ideal of Seva and Bhakti – in the form of Manki! On this very day Manki departed for Akshardham.

Jivuba Aksharvas - 8, June 2015

:: Jivuba Aksharvas ::

Jivuba was like a mile-stone among all the female devotees in Holy Fellowship. Since her childhood she remained engrossed in the worship of Shri Hari.  So deep was her devotion that Shri Hari used to drink milk offered through his icon as Lalji!

She had chosen the path of celibacy. She was blessed with the divine virtues showered by Shriji Maharaj. She could see through woman whether she is caring a male child or female child in her womb!  The women fold in the Holy Fellowship was looking upon her as their Guru! Any evil-mined woman became purified by listening to her words of wisdom. Jivuba was from a royal family, she donated all her golden ornaments weighing in few Kgs. for the icon of Gopinathji at Gadhada!

On this very day, Jivuba, mighty force among the women devotees ascended to Akshardham. There is a monumental memorial in Lakshmivadi-Gadhada. Even today if any woman pray here and seek her blessing to fulfil any cherished desire, it fulfils and the person is freed from sufferings!

Adhik Mass - 17, June 2015

:: Adhik Mass ::

 
The western astronomy is based on Saayan(movement of Sun) movement of the Sun in solar system. While the Indian astronomy always considers the Nirayan(movement of Moon) movement in the Zodiac system. When the Sun changes Nakshtra it becomes Amavasya (end of the month). When the Sun changes Nakshtra and remains in the same Zodiac sign it is called Adhikmaas(extra month). 
 
In this month there is no Sankranti i.e. shifting one sign to the other sign) because the Sun does not change the Zodiac sign till next Amavasya. All the twelve months were distributed among the twelve presiding deities for each of the respective month. But there was no Sankranti (shifting of sign) during this month. 
 
For this reason it was known as Mud-month. Consequently none of the twelve deity was ready to adopt it. So Lord Narayan came forward and accepted the month with all its good and bad qualities. For this reason Indian Astrology Almanac (Panchang) recognise it as Purushottam Mas also. 
 
It is most popular among Hindus as a month of devotional rituals, penance. Generous people offer various donations during this month.
