DHANURMASA PUJA DAILY UNTIL JANUARY 14, 2020
Uttarayana then begins with Sankaranti. It is said that the uttarayana is equal to a day in the single day
of the deities and dakshinayana is a night. As Dhanurmasa is the final month in dakshinayana, it occurs
just before the sunrise for the deities, it is considered as Brahma Muhurtam for deities. Worship during
the Brahma Muhurtam i.e. early morning before sunrise is very auspicious.
Dhanurmasa Puja is done in the Brahma Muhurtam and is a very auspicious time for the worship of
Shri Maha Vishnu. The worship comprises of the recitation of Sacred 'Tiruppavai', Offering of flowers
and the total surrender to Shri Maha Vishnu.
During this month, the 'Tiruppavai' is recited instead of the regular Suprabatham for Shri Maha Vishnu.
Tiruppavai (In Tamil, Tiru is sacred, Paavai is devotional vow or vrat) is the glorification of Shri Krishna
avatara of Shri Maha Vishnu. It comprises of 30 verses called 'Pasurams' and is composed by Andal or
Godha Devi - one of the twelve Azhwars i.e. Poet Saints. It is said that worshipping Shri Maha Vishnu
with devotion on a single day during auspicious period of Dhanurmasa is equal to 1000 years of worship.
This year Dhanurmasa began on December 16 and ends on January 14. As in previous years we will
perform the Dhanurmasa Puja with full fervor at the Temple. The Puja time is chosen so you can attend
the puja and go to your work without any inconvenience. The daily Puja schedule is as below.

VASANTA PANCHAMA SARASWATI PUJA - JANUARY 29, 2020
RATHA SAPTAMI / SURYA PUJA - JANUARY 31, 2020
Ratha Saptami marks the seventh day following the Sun's northerly movement (Uttarayana) of vernal
equinox starting from Capricorn (Makara). It is symbolically represented in the form of Surya turning his
Ratha (Chariot) drawn by seven horses, with Aruna as the charioteer, towards the northern hemisphere,
in a north-easterly direction. The chariot has 12 wheels, which represents the 12 signs (each of 30 degrees)
of the Zodiac (360 degrees) and constituting a full year, named Samvatsara.
The Sun's own house is Leo (Simha) and he moves from one house to the next every month and the total cycle
takes 365 days to complete. The Ratha Saptami festival seeks the benevolent cosmic spread of energy and light
from the Sun God.Ratha Saptami also marks the birth of Surya to sage Kashyapa and his wife Aditi and hence
celebrated as Surya Jayanti. It is also said that sage Bhisma breathed his last breath fourth day after the Rathasaptahmi day on ekaadashi
Amongst all the Veda Mantras, the 'Aruna Prashna' otherwise called Surya Namaskaram is considered as
most significant one for worshiping the Surya Bhagwan. We have this entire mantras in the first prasna of
Taitriya Aranyakam of Yajur Veda. This is called Surya Namaskara Prasnam.
In this Surya Namaskara Prasna, there are 32 Anuvaakams (chapters). 130 Panchaasath (paragraphs) can be
found in this total 30 Anuvaakams. When the Japam is performed, it is in our sampradaya, to offer one
sashtanaga namaskaram, facing east (Surya Bhagwan), at the end of every panchaathi (paragraph) or
alternatively at the conclusion of each anuvaakam depending upon ones health condition. The last anuvaakam
ends with the description of one vratam called 'samvatsara vratam' and also proclaims that one who does this
vratam becomes a punyatma. It concludes with the following words: thapasvee punyo bhavathi, thapasvee
punyo bhavathee. Generally this japam will be followed by and concluded with Navagraha Mantras.
Aruna Prasna Mantras are chanted to get prosperity, health, medha shakthi and all round success.
It is certain to create positive vibrations - both internally and externally. Even listening to these mantras is
considered a great boon for health and all round success.
