Glimpses of life after Death.

[This is a guest post by Mr. M.Prasad.You can also submit similar articles by visiting the YOUR CONTENT page. ]

I had the privilege of going through, and assimilating the knowledge from many many books in this regard.
Sorry I am not a guru, and I don’t want to preach.
After visiting this Web site, I just wanted to share my knowledge with you.
Since a long time, I was interested in what happens to the bodies after death. The physical bodies are either cremated or buried. So the physical aspect may be given a goodbye.
Hence the soul form only travels to the next part or faces the music, if you believe in the soul. Else no problem at all, ‘cause the life ended with the death. That’s all.
For believers then, the soul form travels to another loka, i.e., Pitruloka temporarily. There the soul is put to trial. All his/her actions that have earned a point, both positive and negative are played before the soul. One cannot say ‘No’ because, there was a witness that resided in your heart and ready to testify. You cannot bluff. Then, depending on your record and points earned, you are given a choice to enter into the human form.
The soul is given a choice. The soul will know the wombs available at that time, and what happens to this particular soul, while living as the child of these parents (future life!). 
It is the soul then that makes the decision which womb to enter. The soul may not fulfill all its desires in that particular birth. Because it has chosen to be born to that particular mother, the final plan in seed form is also carried by the individual soul. These are the Past life’s contacts, memories, desires etc. That’s how one gets a Dejavu feeling some times.
Every soul wants to be born in a rich family, wants to have beautiful wives/husbands and everything the best in life… But alas! One cannot get it. ‘Cause the points in your balance are limited. You have to earn more points, to deserve more! Earning those points is possible only on earth. Hence come back to earth, do good things, get more points, go back… and return. That is the cycle. 
Why don’t we remember our past lives? The physical brain that is the storehouse of all the memories is already destroyed. And the soul form carries only that which is necessary for the present life. Still traces may remain and that is Dejavu!
If you remember your past life, you cannot live fully in the present life. There would be conflict of interests. It may lead to chaos!! Only the Almighty is capable of remembering all his and our past lives. That’s his job. Else he cannot justify the options given to the soul to be born as such and such.
Hence if you are a believer in God, and believer in rebirths, then please do good things only, as to amass more points on earth, so that you can live a life of your choice later. Got it? It is so simple.

Happy Diwali e-Card

Diwali Aiswarya Pooja - For Wealth, Health, Success & Happiness


Diwali is a time for celebration, grandeur, happiness and most of all - devotion. Diwali is the best time to bring the family together and overcome common problems. The following is a special ‘Diwali Aiswarya Pooja’ which is said to usher in auspiciousness and shower prosperity on the family which conducts it. This Diwali Aiswarya Pooja can also help to bring better understanding between quarrelling family members, better health for children and success for the head of the family.

On the night before Diwali, clean a section of your ‘pooja room’ or ‘living room’ and sprinkle a pinch of powdered salt on the floor and then keep things ready for the next day’s Diwali pooja.

On the day of Diwali, after everyone finishes their bath in the morning (ideally before 7am), keep a photo or idol of Lord Vishnu or Lord Krishna . Then light a lamp in front of the photo/idol. You may light any number of lamps to enhance the beauty of the pooja area, but keep one main lamp in front of the photo/idol and place it on a plate. Also light a few incense sticks beside the photo. You may also place garlands on the idol/photo or place some flowers at the base of the idol/photo. Now place a folded cloth or mat and sit in front of the lamp (preferably the whole family should sit down n take part, elders can sit on chairs also). Then the head of the family (or anyone who has genuine interest) can sit beside the main lamp and perform the following pooja.
diwali

Take a bowl of rice and a bowl of sugar, and keep it beside you. Take a grain of rice with the ring finger and thumb of your right hand and chant the following : om vakratundaya ekadantaya lambhodaraya namosthuthe. Then place the grain of rice at the foot of the main lamp. Now take a pinch of sugar in the same way and place it at the foot of the lmap after chanting the same mantra. Repeat this process 7 times, such that you provide rice and sugar alternately. This is done to appease Lord Ganesha and to get his blessings so that there may be no obstacles in the pooja and in the household.

Now dip your right hand in water to wash off any excess sugar or rice, and then place your right palm over your left palm and chant : om namo narayanaya ,21 times along with your family members.
Then take some rice with the ring finger,middle finger and thumb of your right hand and chant the following sloka (other members of the family can chant along with you) :

om namo bhagavathe vasudevaya govinda
veera raja mangaladayaka prajapati namo
mukunda sarvadevata hari shree namah om

and then place the rice at the foot of the lamp. Repeat the same with sugar. Continue the above process 108 times. Then chant om namo narayanaya as many times as you wish and maybe even sing a few bhajans to enhance the devotional atmosphere.

In the end, light some camphor and perform aarti in front of the photo. Then take the rice and sugar mixture and boil it in water. You may all consume this Prasad after your lunch.

Hope you have a happy and prosperous Diwali.

[Tip: to keep track of the number of chants without diverting your attention, keep aside an equivalent number of flowers or dried black pepper. For example, if you are supposed to chant a mantra 21 times, then keep aside 21 flowers on a plate, so that you can move one flower after chanting the mantra once. This will prevent you from worrying about losing track of the number of repetitions. ]

My experience with Devi Sthotras

I was facing life's toughest days during the second half of 2010 while at Dubai, mainly caused by the envy at work place which has gradually developed in to a situation where the relationship between me and my boss has started deteriorating. The bad element for this was a fellow worker, who has done all sort of malicious things to expel me from the job. But I don't have any other supports from any corner, a real helpless situation; I called my local astrologer and he advised me chant the slokas of Devi either in the morning or evening infront of a oil lamp. The slokas advised to me were Dala Strotham, Hryudaya Sthrotam and Kavacha strotham for 40 days, 11 time each days.

Miracle happened, subsequently while at job I was served with a termination notice by my Boss, but I don't know I got a sudden energy and boldness to fight back and argue with my Boss which has resulted in to cancellation of the termination letter.

Thanks to God and deity Devi for her blessings I am still continuing in that Job in Dubai.
