This programme is being undertaken in view of 55th birth anniversary of Peedam founder Kayilai Gnanaguru Dr Sri Muralidhara Swamigal.
Mahalakshmi homam (October 24 - Friday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m)
Those who participate in the Mahalakshmi homam at the Danvantri Peedam on October 24, will derive benefits like prosperity, peace of mind, and to overcome problems like debts, financial crisis and ill-health. Since Mahalakshmi is positioned in the Danvantri Peedam as Arogya Lakshmi, She would confer benefits like saving one from mental and physical illnesses, provide affection and peace of mind, says Peedam founder Kayilai Gnanaguru Dr Sri Muralidhara Swamigal.
Danvantri Homam (October 25, Saturday 10.30 a.m. to 1 p.m.)
Participation in the homam to priopitiate Sri Danvantri will help overcome illnesses like BP, headache, TB, pain, spondylitis, cough and so on, says Swamigal. Hundreds of herbs would be used in the homam which would in effect be a pain reliever.
When one thinks of Amla (Nellikani), the story of Adi Sankarar and the gold rain at the house of a poor woman comes to mind. According to the Adi Sankarar story in Kaaladi, as he studied in a gurukula system, he had to resort to Bikshai (begging for food). One day, he went to the house of a poor woman and recited the words 'Bhavathi Bikshaam Daehi', the woman came out of the and spotted the kid but had no food to give him. All she had was an Amla which she had wanted to eat but gave it to the kid. Adi Sankarar was moved by her kindness and decided to invoke the blessings of Mahalakshmi and recited the Kanakadhaaraa stothram to end her poverty. Immediately Goddess Mahalakshmi created a rain of golden Amlas in the woman's house.That day came to be known as Akshaya Trithiya. Even today, the practice of devotees going to Kaaladi and visiting the house where the Amla rain took place continues. The idol of Lord Krishna is given an abhishekam of golden Amlas, and the Kanakadhaaraa slokam is recited.
The Amla is thus an important fruit -- it provides longevity and evokes a feeling of spirituality in every mind. That is why the kanakadhaaraa slokam would be recited during October 23 to 26 for the sake of the devotees.
The Amla also finds place in literature. Once Avvaiyar was given an Amla which would give her eternal life. However, she decided to give it to King Adiyaman, saying if she ate the fruit, it would benefit only her but if he ate the fruit it would be better as the service-minded king could help all the citizens. When she handed him the fruit to the king, he returned it to her saying he could help only the citizens, but she could help the Tamil language.
Thus the Amla fruit can provide the people prosperity and a lot of good things, said Sri Muralidhara Swamigal. That is why, one lakh fruits would be used in the yaagam so as to benefot entire mankind, he added. Swamigal urged devotees to turn up in large numbers and derive the benefits of the yaagam.
