I saw this artist in a T V program. Sorry...... I did not note down her name!

and wondered

Wondered how she could play this difficult instrument - Morsing!

The metal portion goes inside the mouth! :fear:

 

[Raji Ram]

Please enjoy this beautiful sound of rhythm!

N. Sundar - Morsing Solo

 

[Raji Ram]

......... How come you did that? It is not like scorpion or ugly cockroaches; you could have just driven them all by using broomstick.
In your next birth, remember, you will born as rhinoceros and start praying now itself. ,

I don't know Sir! I was only 20 years old and the exam was my only focus. These beetles came one after the other and

crawled all over the floor! I know that the sting will make me unable to write my exam - M.Sc first year. My room was in
the first floor and so..... 'bang and throw' was the easiest solution at that time! :moony:

After the exam was over, I did 50 thOppukaraNams to get rid of the sin I committed!

Sage Mandavya had to suffer by torturing birds and bees done much earlier and that too when he was a child. Sage Mandavya cursed Dharma Devata to incarnate as Vidura later.

Even unknowingly killing insects is a sinful act

Sin due to killng insects:

1) Killing UNKNOWINGLY is also a sin:

Mahabharata, Book 3, Chapter 199, Verses 24 to 30:

24 'sattvaih sattvani jivanti bahudha dvijasattama
pranino nyonyabhaksas ca tatra kim pratibhati te
25 cankramyamana jivams ca dharani samsritan bahun
padbhyam ghnanti nara vipra tatra kim pratibhati te
26 upavistah sayanas ca ghnanti jivan anekasah
jnanavijnanavantas ca tatra kim pratibhati te
27 jivair grastam idam sarvam akasam prthivi tatha
avijnanac ca himsanti tatra kim pratibhati te
28 ahimseti yad uktam hi purusair vismitaih pura
ke na hiṃsanti jivan vai loke smin dvijasattama
bahu samcintya iha vai nasti kas cid ahimsakah
29 ahimsayam tu nirata yatayo dvijasattama
kurvanty eva hi himsam te yatnad alpatara bhavet
30 alaksyas caiva purusah kule jata mahagunah
mahaghorani karmani krtva lajjanti vai na ca

"Men, O Brahmana, while walking about hither and thither, kill numberless creatures lurking in the ground by trampling on them, and even men of wisdom and enlightenment destroy animal life in various ways, even while SLEEPING or reposing themselves.

The earth and the air all swarm with living organisms, which are unconsciously destroyed by men from mere ignorance. The commandment that people should not do harm to any creature, was ordained of old by men, who were ignorant of the true facts of the case.

After full consideration, the conclusion is irresistible that there is not a single man who is free from the sin of doing injury to animal life.

Even the sage, O good Brahmana, whose vow is to do harm to no creature, doth inflict injury to animal life. Only, on account of greater needfulness, the harm is less."
Knowingly or unknowingly himsa is a sin:

Srimad Bhagavatam 5.26.17:
(See Jai Shree Krishna's answer for details)

Persons who tormented the birds, beasts, reptiles, MOSQUITOES, lice, worms and flies like are placed in the hell known as Andhakupa by Godhead and he is attacked by the creatures he tormented during his life.

Prayachit and Prayer for clearing the sin daily:

Hinduism provides prayachit and prayer for taking away the sins unknowingly and knowingly done by doing Nithya Karmanishtanams like Santhyavandanam and VAISWADEVAM and every day.

i) Morning Santhyavandanam;

".... yadraatryaa paapamakaarshham | manasaa vaachaa hastaabhyaam |
padbhyaamudarena shishnaa | raatristadavalumpatu | yatkimcha duritam mayi ....."

'... The sins accumulated during NIGHT by mind, sayings, hands, legs, stomach and other sins if any altogether will be removed by the NIGHT Devata....'

(ii) Evening Santhyavandanam:

"...yadahnaa paapamakaarshham |
manasaa vaachaa hastaabhyaam |
padbhyaamudarena shishnaa | ahastadavalumpatu | yatkincha duritam mayi ....."

(iii) Vaiswadevam:

Bootha Yagnam is Vaisvadevam.

" Vaiswadevasthu karthavyah panchasoonapanutthaye "

Vaiswadevam is done MAINLY for eradicating sins of Prani vadham (killing insects and others).

We use five impediments to kill insects and plants (plants too have life!). These are

'Pancha suna grahastasya vardante aharaharah sada ! Kandinee, Beshinee, Sullee, Jalakumba Upaskaraha!'

Many insects are victimised by the kitchen fire, intensionally or otherwise. When water is heated many lives are killed.

Grinding stone, mixie like things kill small insects.

'Upaskaram', ie., the sweaping brush. many ants and flies are destroyed by this, with its modern counter part, the vacuum cleaner, wet/dry.

Lord Viswadeva is invoked and 22 balis are offered. Only Grahasta with wife can do this Vaiswadevam.

[Raji Ram]

இனி நான் பூணூல் போட்டுக்கொண்டு சந்தியாவந்தனம் செய்ய வேண்டியதுதான்! ray:

 

[Raji Ram]

If ladies also do sandhyAvandhanam, then it will be gender equality!

Come on ladies......... let us fight for it! :grouphug:

 

[suraju06]

If ladies also do sandhyAvandhanam, then it will be gender equality!

Come on ladies......... let us fight for it! :grouphug:

Sandhya vandanam would require wearing a poonool. But even if this 'right' is won after a 'fight' there would be nothing novel about it because in Karnataka, through centuries, all Lingayat women have been wearing poonool with a Shivling tied in it!!!

Cheers.

இனி நான் பூணூல் போட்டுக்கொண்டு சந்தியாவந்தனம் செய்ய வேண்டியதுதான்! ray:

Raji Madam

No need for பூணூல் and சந்தியாவந்தனம்.
Here is another method .

Parasara Battcharya , a follower of Ramanujacharya had said that Vishnu sahasranama absolves people of all sins and has no equal.

VISHNU SAHASRANAMA: Vishnu Sahasranama

Please recite Sri Vishnu Saharanamam for 48 days , keeping a Dot of Sandal paste on each day and complete the circle on Sri Rama/ Krishna or Sri Vishnu Deity Picture.

After reciting and doing Arathi , please do Atma pradakshinam rotating in the same place and reciting:
Yani kani cha papani
Janmantara kritanicha
Tani tani vinashyanti
Pradakshinam pade pade

yani kani--whatever; ca--and; papani--sins; Janmantara - this birth and earlier births; kritani - done (by me); ca--also, tani tani--all of them; vinashyanti -- are destroyed; pradaksinam-- (by) the self circumambulation ; pade pade--at every step.

I (self) rotate in my place to kill all my sins that I may have committed in all of my births!
Daily do a small neivedyam and after completing 48 days, do a Sakara Pongal neivedyam

 

[Raji Ram]

Sandhya vandanam would require wearing a poonool. But even if this 'right' is won after a 'fight' there would be nothing novel about it because in Karnataka, through centuries, all Lingayat women have been wearing poonool with a Shivling tied in it!!! ....

Dear Raju Sir,

I was just kidding. Not serious about wearing poonool anyway!

Thank you P J Sir for your information. :yo:

Raji Madam

The Story of sage Mandavya is probably the reason for Indian Penal code to exempt crimes committed by Children below the age of 7.
