MAHISHASURMARDINI USTAV will be celebrated at Shri Gurukshetram, Khar from 9th to 17th August '09.
The Poojan will be done by P.P. BAPU and HIS DIVINE FAMILY as per 'Tripurarahasya ' , as told by Shri Dattatrey to Parashuram. The Poojan will start every day at morning 11 a.m. and will continue up to afternoon 1: 30 p.m. Afterwards there will be 'Havan' whole day up to sun set with chanting of Stotras. We can visit Shri Gurukshetray during any of these 9 days (or all as per our convenience) and take Darshana of Shri MAHISHASURMARDINI and participate in the chanting. The detail information (in Marathi) about this Ustav, its importance and what we have to do there is as per the file.
As a preparation of this Ustav, P.P. BAPU has ask us to chant the mantra "ॐ नमश्चंडिकायै" from 8th July to 8th August '09 (one month) every day 108 times.
In the pravachan on Thursday, July 2 2009, P.P. Bapu said that this chanting can be done even when (a) we are travelling, (b) we are wearing chappal/shoes, (c) we have not taken the bath. HE explained the importance of name 'Chandika'. HE said that 'PARAMATMA ' obeys all the rules set by 'PARAMESHWAR' even in extreme situation. The shortcoming (ABHAV) of not obeying HIS rules is the root cause of all problems in human being's life. The name ' Chandika ' is such that it will remove this shortcoming from our life and that is the reason , we have to chant this name. P.P. BAPU added that SHE is MY MOTHER, and all of you should chant HER name with love. HE said that who else can give guarantee of mother than his own son. So, get set and started, "केल्याने होत आहे रे आधी केलेची पाहिजे".
