Praying our elders is a must

Without knowing the truth underlying in the ways that our elders have taught us we have been following them blindly as rites, have done some mistake to God and thereby committed a sin.
1.But many of the ways shown to us by our elders are
2.to guide us in the same path in which “they have already tread…”
 
We worship our predecessors on new-moon day;
1.we have a belief that if we take treatment for any illness on a new-moon day it will be effective;
2.for doing anything auspicious new-moon day is good;
3.if grain that is collected on a new-moon day is exposed to the rays of the sun it will not be affected by insects for a number of days;
4.we should not go to work on new-moon day.
 
These are some of the things that our elders have taught us.
 
What is the state of the new-moon day…? On that day all the rays of the sun come and strike this earth as they are. The earth absorbs them in that state and emits them out.
 
We say that the sea water swells on new-moon day. How does it happen…? What is the cause for the excess water on that day…?
1.The earth absorbs more energy from the sun on that day
2.and emits all that energy out.
 
Just like the sea, all the living beings, vegetation, volcanoes, snow hills and all other things that get energy from the Sun and grow, get more energy and that is the cause for this change on that day.
 
Human beings will feel that their body is heavier on that day and also faintness and slackness. This is on account of the heaviness and force of the atoms that come from the sun on that day.
 
When this is the state of the human beings in normal health, those that are ill will feel the difference to a greater extent.
 
This is the reason why our elders when they comment about a sick person say that they can say definitely after the new-moon day passes.
 
1.This is on account of the heaviness of the atoms that come from the sun
2.and persons will find it difficult to absorb the heavy atoms in the breath that they take.
 
Those who have mental disorder have a change to the worse on that day. The reason is that on new-moon day we do not get the benefits that we usually have on other days.
 
1.When we worship our fore-fathers sincerely on that day we get their grace
2.thereby overcoming the difficulty in breathing the heavy atoms and we do not feel any slackness.
 
What is the reason for our elders fasting on new moon day…?
 
It is because there is more power in the atoms that we breathe on that day and we do not feel hungry as usual.
 
Our elders knew this and were fasting on that day as a religious rite. All the things that our elders want to teach us they have done on the basis of bakthi.
 
This because they thought that they can lead the people in a good path through bakthi. All these they have kept in records written on palm leaves.
 
If we have belief in God we can get all powers from Sakthi. If we believe that all the words coming from good people as that from God and get their blessing every thing that happens will be good.
 
By praying to our elders and getting their blessings we get the blessings of God through them.

Family Deities – Respect elders

When a person’s soul leaves his body, people say he has gone to heaven or attained the feet of God.

This heaven is a state created by the people of this earth and there is no such place like heaven or hell anywhere and God does not send us to any of those places.

The sufferings that we experience in the spirit world are much more than what we experience in this world.

The souls that lead a good contented calm life with love and affection and leave this world with satisfaction about the life that they have lead and not without a worried mind, act from the spirit world as the family deity and do all help to their families to lead a prosperous life.

If the members of a family treat the elders in their old age with respect and give them all help that they want in their old age, after their death their souls will help the family acting as a family deity from the spirit world.

Then the family itself will become a temple where the spirits of the elders live.

Instead of going to temples and churches for worship, we can make our residence itself a place of worship where the souls of our ancestors will remain and this will be a better way.

The thoughts and love of all the members of the family should be diverted on our elders so that we can get their help in all ways.

We should develop our Gnana in such a way that it will help us to solve the problems that are met in our family life. Then wealth and prosperity will grow.
