Vishwa Shanti Maha Yagnya Veda Sammelan & Rudra Japam in Arunachal Pradesh in March 2014.
The root of Dharma lies in Vedas. There is eternal peace wherever Dharma is prevalent. Their Holiness Jagadgurus Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Shankaracharya Swamiji and Jagadguru Sri Sankara Vijayendra Saraswathi Shankaracharya Swamiji of Shri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam have blessed for organizing Veda Parayan at various places throughout India for peace and prosperity. In pursuance of Their directions, Viswa Shanti Maha Yagnya and Veda Parayan were held in Jammu-Kashmir, North-Eastern States and Nepal. In this series, the next Viswa Shanti Yagnya, Veda Sammelan and Rudra Japam will be held in Arunachal Pradesh from 5th to 9th March 2014. Arunachal Pradesh is a State in the Himalayan Ranges. It is a frontier state having borders with Tibet, China and Burma, Assam in the South. The mighty Brahmaputra River flows through the state. The vast tribal population follows indigenous faith. Itanagar is the Capital of Arunachal Pradesh.
Surya Bhagavan is known as Pratyaksha Paramesvara – the primordial visible god of the Universe. Our country has several important Kshetras and monumental temples of Surya like Kashmir (Martanda temple), Konarak (Orissa), Modhera ( Gujarat, Chitrakaranam Gupta temple at Khajuraho ( Mādhyapradesh ) and Suryanar temple in Tamilnad. India’s land of the rising Sun – aptly called – “Arunachal Pradesh” – has a vast tribal population following Donyi Polo – the indigenous faith that is centred around worship of Sun(Donyi) & Moon(Polo). The worship of Sūrya as the primordial deity is called Saura form of worship and according to traditions Adi Shankaracharya established this form of worship along with other five forms of worship and hence He is called as Shanmatha Sthâpanācārya. Suryanamaskar and Navagraha Homams will be performed during the Viswa Shanti Mahayagnya. Shri Rudra Parayanam will be performed at other Shiva / Hanuman Temples in the vicinity of Itanagar and at Sidheswarnath Temple in Kardo Forest, Ziro, about six hours drive from Itanagar.
Devotees are invited to participate and receive the blessings of Their Holinesses Pujya Shankaracharya Swamijis and Anugraha of Sri Tripurasundari Sameta Chandramouleeshwaraswamy.
