Sharing my Naivedyam/ Prasadam with all my friends here on festive occasion ... Stay Blessed~ Spread Happiness ...
** Today is Datta Jayanthi, a pious festival for Hindus. There are many more festivals that collide on today’s date in many temples in Southern parts of India, especially in Manjeshwar, Mulki towns etc. Though Datta Jayanthi is usually celebrated in Datta Mandir/Temples, many Hindus observe them by preparing festive dishes at home. I will not run into more details about the festival as I am sure all of you know about this festival that falls in the month of Margashira/ Dhanurmasa an auspicious month, if not there is plenty of information in detail in the Net. I do not want to write on a topic, that I have no much knowledge of. Well, then all of you must be wondering about this festive Naivedyam thali, Isn’t it. Well this is our way of thanking God every year on this auspicious day for showering on us his choicest blessings. It is because of the place that he provided for my hubby for sitting to learn through childhood that he reached a successful stage in life today. There was this large Dattatreya Mandir next to my hubby’s home that which was opened to public only on this auspicious day while the other days it was closed. Only family members went to offer prayers and the people to whom this temple premises belonged were gracious enough to let my hubby sit there and study in peace without any disturbance whatsoever.
** I have seen this lovely marble temple too, that is so cool with lovely breeze from trees around the temple and from the sea nearby. This has been my hubby’s studying place through childhood under the grace of Lord Datta and we are so thankful to Lord for providing this peaceful place to study under his grace and showering his choicest blessings throughout. Faith is always important in life to build a successful life on and I always believe that where there is faith and trust there God definitely shows a path. In Mumbai space is the biggest problem especially for growing children to read, learn, study and even play. And, to get such huge place to self is a boon for a child whose aim is to come up in life against all odds. So this is just a small gratitude meal offered at his lotus feet in my own way to thank him for everything he has offered us in life.
