00:00It means that he has the opportunity to sacrifice his body whenever he wants.
00:03This is something that we have heard in India.
00:06But, in Uttarayana, after the Sun enters Makara Raasiloka,
00:11the gates of heaven will open.
00:13Also, what we all know is that, after the Dhanushankaramana,
00:17the Shukla Paksha Ekadasi or Vaikuntha Ekadasi is called.
00:20In our culture and Puranas,
00:22from that day, the gates of heaven and the gates of the worlds related to the Devatas
00:27will open.
00:27That is why, in Uttarayana, the gates of heaven and the gates of the worlds related to the Devatas will open.
00:33We have to go to such Punya Lokas.
00:36Only when Uttarayana happens, the gates of heaven and the gates of the worlds related to the Devatas will open.
00:41We have to go to the Devatas.
00:42Bheeshma has the intention of attaining Paramapada.
00:46So, with the intention of attaining the Devatas and the Devata Lokas,
00:52we have come to know through India that he has attained Uttarayana.
00:57Not only that, even those who have died in Dakshinayana,
01:01to go to the Devatas Lokas, to go to heaven and to go to the worlds related to the Devatas,
01:05they will wait until Uttarayana happens.
01:08This is what the Garuda Puranas have told us.
01:12That is why, the death in Uttarayana is also said to be very special.
01:16Those who have died in Uttarayana will attain Sadgati.
01:19It is said in the Shastras that they will attain the Vishnupada Sannidhana.
01:25Srinivasji, if we start from Sankranti, how long will Uttarayana last?
01:29What is Uttarayana famous for?
01:31What can be done during this time to do Punya Sambhuparjana?
01:34If we have to talk about the Punya period of Uttarayana,
01:38depending on the time of Sankranti, this Punya period is considered important.
01:45If this Sankramanam is done at night,
01:49if it is done during Makara Sankranti or at night,
01:52it is said that it will last for 40 hours.
01:5540 hours is 16 hours.
01:57If it is done in the afternoon of Sankramanam,
02:00it is said that it will last for 30 hours, which is 12 hours.
02:04The main reason why this Punya period is important is,
02:07in January 2025,
02:11in the afternoon of 14th January,
02:13the Sankramanam will start at 2.25 pm.
02:16That is, the Sun will enter the 2nd foot of Uttarayana.
02:18Even after 6 months of Punya period,
02:22the Sun will enter the 2nd foot of Uttarayana at 12 o'clock in the morning.
02:28So, this Punya period will last for 12 hours.
02:31That is, it will last for 2 hours and 25 minutes at night.
02:35The main thing to do during this Punya period is,
02:38to do Pithru Tarpanaadi programs.
02:41Usually, we call this a big festival.
02:44There is a meaning of a big festival.
02:48Secondly, no matter how many festivals we have,
02:50there will be only one day.
02:52But for this, we have Bhogi, Sankramanam, Konama and Mukkanama.
02:55There will be four days.
02:57So, instead of having four special days,
03:00we call this a big festival.
03:02So, what is Makara Sankramanam?
03:06The only strange thing is,
03:08after entering Makara Sankramanam,
03:11the Uttarayana Punya period will last for 6 months.
03:15Mr. Vanakumar Sharma,
03:17Sankranti is based on the story of Surya Bhagavan, right?
03:20Why do you call Surya Bhagavan as a planet in Navagrahas?
03:24How will his influence be on humans?
03:27In Navagrahas where the Sun and Moon are present,
03:31there are only two planets that have a direct influence on humans.
03:37Those are Sun and Moon.
03:39Surya Bhagavan is also referred to as Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara.
03:44That is why Surya Bhagavan is referred to as
03:47Brahma Swaroopam Udaye Madhyaneto Maheshwaram
03:50Sayankale Sada Vishnuhum Trimurtischa Divakaraha
03:54Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara signify
03:57the creation, existence and laya.
04:00They do the same things.
04:02Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara are the creators.
04:07Surya Bhagavan is also the creator of the three elements.
04:12For example, as we have seen in the Pathyamsa Shastra,
04:20when a solar eclipse takes place,
04:23the Sun produces its food through the solar eclipse
04:27and then it grows, flourishes and bears fruit.
04:31Similarly, when a child is born,
04:35the Sun produces its food through the solar eclipse.
04:40The Sun's rays are the source of life.
04:45When the Sun's rays touch the earth,
04:48the Sun's rays produce life.
04:51That is why Surya Bhagavan is referred to as Surya Brahma.
04:55Surya Bhagavan is also the creator of the three elements.
