Ugadi celebrations at Danvantri Peedam on 21.03.2015 Saturday by 10.00 a.m

The festival of Ugadi heralds the start of a New Year in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Ugadi is believed to be the day when Brahma - the Creator, in the Hindu Trinity - formed the universe. It’s also the time when winter is on its way out, and spring’s round the corner, so the concept of new life and a new year is really very appropriate.
Traditionally, reading literary works, poetic recitations, chanting of mantras, listening to the future predictions and hearing classical music are a part of the celebration. ‘Panchanga Sravanam’, the religious almanac for the year to come, is the most observed ritual of Ugadi. The day is considered to be auspicious to start new ventures.
Special Delicacies ‘Ugadi Pacchadi’ is the traditional Ugadi recipe prepared by the people of Andhra Pradesh. It is a mixture of six tastes - Neem (bitter), Raw Mango (tangy), Tamarind Juice (sour), Green Chilli/Pepper (heat), Jaggery and ripe banana pieces (sweet), pinch of salt, which symbolize life as a blend of different experiences (sorrow, joy, anger, fear, disgust, surprise), which should be accepted together. The same is known as ‘Bevu Bella’ in Karnataka.
With the blessings and guidance of Gnanaguru Dr. Sri Muralidhara Swamigal, arrangements have been made at Danvantri Peedam on UGADI, Saturday, 21st March 2015 – Homam, Abishekam, Alangaram, Archanai for Lord Dattatreyar, Karthaveeryarjuna, Dakshinamurthy, Guru Raghavendrar, Sri Chandrasekara Saraswathi Swamigal (Kanchi Maha Periyavar), Kulandhaianandha Mahaan Swamigal, Seshadri Swamigal, Vallalar, Ramanar, Ramakrishna Paramahamsar, Maha Avatar Babaji & Lord Danvantri.
More Details for Ugadi marks The beginning of the Telugu New Year. It also brings happiness with the onset of Vasanth Ruthu (spring). Ugadi name has been changed from Yuga Aadi (Yuga + Aadi means beginning of New age). It is believed that the creator of the Hindu pantheon Lord Brahma started creation on this day - Chaithra Shuddha Prathipade or the Ugadi day. It is the most important festival for Hindus, which falls on Chaitra Shuddha Prathipade (Padya). According to Hindu myths, Lord Brahma created the earth and set days, nights, dates, weeks, fortnights, months, seasons, and years to count the time.
During Ramayana period, the New Year was being celebrated on the first day of Uttharayana. So, Chaitra was the 12th month. Varahamihira, a saint who lived in sixth century, started a new method of celebrating New Year on Chaitra Shuddha Prathipade. Ugadi marks the beginning of a new Hindu lunar calendar with a change in the moon's orbit. It is a day when mantras are chanted and predictions made for the new year.

All are invited to participate in this pooja and Homam and receive the blessings of the presiding deities at Danvantri Peedam and Kayilai Gnanaguru Dr. Sri Muralidhara Swamigal
