Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to participate in celebrating Makara Sankranti activities. On January 13, in Kothur village of Kalyanadurgam mandal, we first performed puja at the Kollapuramma temple in the Dalit village and from there we walked along the ancient streets chanting bhajans to the Veera Brahmendra Swamy temple.
While the elders were chanting bhajans, children also participated with us holding flags with the picture of Anjaneya Swamy and chanting Jai Shri Ram. While we were chanting through the streets, women lit incense sticks on the picture of Shri Ram and poured water along the way with devotion. The villagers were also happy and expressed their happiness that the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is helping the Kollapuramma temple with microphones and is doing a very good program by awakening Hindus by chanting bhajans in such streets.
As a mark of respect, when a person carrying God’s picture, villagers consider his as representative of God and wash the feet of the person carrying God’s picture. Also, the ladies wash the streets where the procession is going through the streets to ensure God will be carried on streets that are purified.
Nagarakirtana in Hinduism signifies a communal procession of Sankirtana, featuring collective chanting and glorification. It embodies a form of devotional singing in towns, illustrating its deep spiritual importance and the ecstasy it brings to participants.
It is believed that by participating in this program, one can receive the love, blessings, and grace of Sri Rama. It’s time to let go of worldly concerns and bask in the divine presence, rejuvenating your spirit and strengthening your connection to the divine.
In this age of Kali there is no other way but the glorification of the Lord by chanting his Holy name and that is the injunction of all the revealed scriptures. In Kaliyuga, Naama Sankeerthanam (Bhajan) is the way out. Our Rishis have foreseen that in Kaliyuga, there will be no time for people to engage (nor will they be interested) in religious activities due to pre-occupation.
"O King, constant chanting of the holy name of the Lord after the ways of the great authorities is the doubtless and fearless way of success for all, including those who are free from all material desires, and also those who are desirous of all material enjoyment, as well as those who are self-satisfied by dint of transcendental knowledge." (Bhagavatam 2.1.11)
