Ganesh Chaturthi

 


Ganesh Chaturthi







I am not going to tell the story of how Shri Ganesh became the firstborn of the (First couple) Adi dampathi of the Universe – Shiv and Parvathi. I’ll not even tell you how he got an elephant head. Every Indian has grown up listening to these stories and even watching them on TV serials.


oday let’s just talk about the essence of this festival which needs to be retained over and above our rituals of decoration, making various (eateries) which we call bhog or Prasad and making sthapana of statue of Lord Ganesh for 10 days before immersing that in the waters.

We do this Pooja mainly to seek prosperity and request the Lord to remove obstacles from our lives in the coming year. As Vedic people and reiki channels, we know that we receive what we give.

So, if we seek prosperity, then we should use these auspicious ten days to give in every form as much as possible. So, if you seek food to come your way in the coming days/years, then distribute food at least 3-5 packets every day these 10 days. Those who can’t do it on a daily basis, give it on a single day. You need not cook yourself. You can order outside food and distribute it yourself. You can donate in the temple for annadanam schemes. You can also donate rice and other such groceries in various temples that take them and use them for annadanam on a later day. You can donate in an old age home. But, personally asking, I would prefer to do danam either in a temple or on my own. You can get small eateries to make 3 rotis with subji packed and then simply distribute them. Take your children when you are distributing these packets. Teach them by involving them to do the same.

You can also make a small ball of cooked rice and place it in the window sill or on terrace for birds to eat. You can also feed cows or a dog in your street. Look around there are ways to feed and so many mouth to feed. Use these ten days well.

Give at least old clothes to the rag pickers on one of these days. You can give at least one woollen blanket – it hardly costs Rs.150/-. Those who can afford more can give more.

Share and increase your bank balance of ‘Punya account’. Unless you make a contribution in your account you can’t withdraw from there!

Celebrate and enjoy in all its flavours! But don’t forget to put this time to good use by increasing your ‘good karma’ by doing little acts of goodness!

Thank you reiki
Today is the day of miracle for me. Due to some reason I thought we would not be able to do Pooja and was thinking about it .
1. My son said we are not going any where we will perform Pooja in the house . We made the arrangements in 20 mins . I prepared the delicacies he asked for and My son has done the complete Pooja by himself and I really felt he is true blessing of reiki. What ever were the situations he spoke to everyone and everyone were convinced with his replies .
2. I wanted to distribute food for the 400000 visitors . Today by the blessings of reiki unexpectedly I have done that . We have distributed the food and I felt god has accepted our Pooja . This a miracle for me .
3. My mom who complained of having leg pain came home to visit us this is also a miracle for .
Thank you reiki for the wonderful blessings 🙏

Some more miracles of the day
1. When the person came for food he asked food for his family . I gave him the food and he said they would wear old clothes too I gave him that . I don’t even know how that person came today . Where he came from ?
2. When I opened the blog today evening I see that reiki has asked us to do the same . I literally have tears of joy in my eyes .

Good afternoon mam,
This is bhagya rekha, doing sadhan I getting very anger on that moment my daughter fell the food on the floor, I beat her, uncontrollable, I never beat before, when I beating her I asking the questions myself why r u doing like this? why are u getting angry? Is it necessary?
After beat her at night I cried, anger is in me, actually why I get the anger? I had a anger because I don’t want to do sadhan. Forceable I am doing, so my system getting anger.
When iam realized I felt guilty I beaten to my daughter, at morning I felt sorry to my daughter to do emotional healing,
Today my daughter brought the cake for me, to celebrate my birthday, I got the tears,
how iam thinking shes doesn’t have any manners, very naughty didn’t listened anything (mondi) etc..
how I forgot she is a reiki child.
Where am I ?
My sadhan is continuing,
Thank you mam for giving this opportunity to do sadhan, thank you very much.

Thank you reiki .
I always used to cry that I did not have money to donate and always used to associate donations with money .
This exercise and experience taught me .
1. Where ever possible we can donate people what ever possible .
2. Firstly clothes I always thought who will take this old clothes. This time I gave clothes and the person then told me that they have many people in their area and they would distribute the clothes accordingly and had taken the clothes .
3. Where ever possible I was able to give food to the people .
4. It gave me a new profound strength and confidence over myself .
