Pradosham: Most Important Day to Remove Karma
www.astroved.c...
This is a very special pradosham session. To begin with - it came to me very spontaneously, I usually don't do that. But it occured to me that I should invite some people who are staying in the ashram that I should give Darshan to the people here and while I was thinking about it I thought that I would do a video so that it would be very helpful for other people. Pradosham time is the 13th moon as most of you have been following, I don't know, particularly the 13th moon during the waning moon is the most important pradosham. Pradosham comes 2 times every 15 days and during the dark moon pradosham the waning moon is the most important pradosham.

And what is this pradosham? Pradosham time is the time when one comes back to an awakening. It is the time for awakening. Pradosham itself is the ritual use birds eye view of human life itself. So I have to explain this to you.
The 10th moon is the time of hard work and this is even in a story form where the demons and the Gods worked together to get the elixir of life by churning the ocean and 11th moon is when they get results. There are good things that come out of the milky ocean that they were churning. Lakshmi for instance, wealth, comes out of it and the 12th moon is the moon when they enjoy the results of the elixir. 13th moon is the moon when they come to their senses and then begin to think about Shiva who really helped them to get the elixir and removed the poison that came out of the ocean. So the 10th, 11th, 12th and the 13th moon are symbolic of what could happen in a cyclical manner.
So it is not that something that took place at some mythological time and never is relevant. Mythology is eternally relevant, It gives us an insight into what is going to happen and the different phases of the moon particularly the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th moon are being highlighted through this pradosham ritual.
13th moon symbolizes the awakening, the spiritual awakening, from material enjoyment that took place in the 11th and the 12th moons, that's why the 11th moon Ekadasi is dedicated to Lord Vishnu because Vishnu is into enjoyment of this world. Lakshmi also comes out of that milky ocean on the 11th moon day and the 12th moon is the day for enjoyment and 13th moon is the moon for awakening, that's why the 13th moon which is the pradosham is very very important. The awakening takes place only at window time and that window time happens between 4.30 and 6.00 in India or in any other place it is an hour and a half before the sunset, it is called the pradosham time.
That is the time when Shiva descends into the earth plane into the consciousness of people to give them awareness and why is this awareness, so that you don't get lost. People easily gets lost, everybody gets lost even the rishis, even the Gods get lost. It's not that human beings get only lost because it is very difficult to keep focus on life and what is important in life.
And what is important in life is awakening, everything else is going to be gone but what is going to stay with you is the knowledge that want gains during one's lifetime and every pradosham time on the 13th moon, the sunset time, one and a half hours before the sunset time is the window time for everyone to wake up even if you don't meditate on a daily basis.
If you are aware of the pradosham time and observe the pradosham time, meditate during the pradosham time then you will be liberated, liberated from this maya or unconscious life and particularly this pradosham day that I happen to talk to you about this is a very important one because it is the saturday pradosham. The saturday pradosham is a very powerful pradosham called the great pradosham or Maha pradosham.
When saturday coincides with 13th moon, it is called the Maha pradoshams so this day happens to be Maha pradosham day and I thought that I would bless some of the people in Ashram so I spontaneously had the thought to invite you and talk to you but at the same time would address the whole people around the world who follow my teachings to benefit through this session. So that was the purpose and I am glad that I could do this.
So in the pradosham time you just chant Va Ya Na Ma Si, Va Ya Na Ma Si, Va Ya Na Ma Si or Om Namasivaya or Thiruneelakantam or all of them together.
So if you spend the pradosham time between 4.30 and 6.00 on that day just chanting it will do immense good. And I think right now, a thought come to my mind right now.
We should, the Pillai Center should observe pradosham time and there should be probably a call, pradosham call in for different zones and people can get down and chant Va Ya Na Ma Si, Va Ya Na Ma Si and that will do a lot of good, particularly to remove Karma and to start a new life.
