UPCOMING TITHI AND KALYANAK

SHRIPAL RAJA no RAAS (in Gujarati)

The Navpad Aradhana (puja) is observed by meditation and practicing a penance called Aayambil. One meditates upon Arihanta, Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyay, Sadhus (Pancha Paramesthi), Gnan (knowledge),Darshan (faith), Charitra (conduct), and Tapa (penance) known as Navpad. Aayambil is observed by having only one meal a day of very plain food without any spices, milk, sugar, salt, oil, butter, fruits or vegetables. This penance and meditation are to be observed for nine days, twice a year, during the month of March/April (Chaitra) and September/October (Ashwin).

Accordingly, Mayana and Shripal devoutly observed Navpad worship and penance with all its vitality. The result was miraculous: Shripal’s skin disease started fading. In due course, he got totally cured of leprosy and regained the skin that he had before contracting the disease.
