Vishnupati Punyakaalam on May 14, 2009

Dear Members:



The auspicious Vishnupati Punya kaalam falls on May 14, 2009 (this is one of the 4 vishnupati punya kaalams that fall in a year) for major parts of the world including USA, Canada, Carribean Isles, UK, African countries, Gulf Countries, India, China, Malaysia, Burma, Thailand, Singapore, etc. For those in Far East countries (Japan, Koreas, etc.) and for those in Australia and New Zealand, the Vishnupati Punya kaalam should be observed on May 15, 2009 [This is as per Brihaspati smriti doctrines that suggest that if Sun's entry happens after 45th ghati, the punya kaalam should be observed on the following day; this condition prevails for Far East countries while calculating the punyakaalam this time].



Dharma shaastra says that any meritorious deed done during periods like Vishnupati Punya kaalam will ensure Divine Protection for the next 7 years. Also, the results of the meritorious deeds (punya) get multiplied 1000 times!



The whole day is auspicious and you may perform special worships or charities at any time from dawn of the date mentioned (14th May or 15th May, 2009 depending on your geographical location) till the sunrise of the next day. So, even those of you who may have busy schedules should make it a point to some how squeeze time to do special prayers/ meditation on this punya kaalam day and become recipients of Divine Grace.



Reciting sthothras like Shri Vishnu Sahasranaamam, Shrimad Bhaagavatam, Shrimad Raamaayanam, Shrimad Bhagavat Geetha, etc. will be very auspicious on this Vishnupati period. Also, it will be auspicious to offer oblations in Honour of Deities, Sages, and ancestors during this Punya kaalam.



The least you can do is to recite "Raama Raama" whenever you get time throughout the day.



Japa, Tapa, HOma, and Dhaana are the limbs of punya, and by performing any of these on Holy Days like these, we can erase the tough writings of Lord Brahma from our foreheads and have our Destiny rewritten favourably by the Golden nib of the Lord. May our members indulge in charitable/ religious deeds on this Holy Day and become recipients of Divine Grace. Divine Grace is the only Wealth that will never get eroded by "recession" or "macro economic factors." May we earn this Wealth of Divine Grace zealously on Holy Days like these and invest in our own bright future (it is punya that gets translated as good luck - sooner or later!).



Om Namah Shivaya

Om NamO Naaraayanaaya

Shri Raam Jaya Raam Jaya Jaya Raam.



Blessed be
