Guru Gita. 201
Abandon guru is death itself
abandon manthra bring poverty
Avoiding guru and manthra
He surely goes to horrible hell.
Shiva said: One who abandon manthra and Guru will surely bring poverty, death and goes to horrible hell.
The Ayyappan Vilakku is sceliberated with great enthusiasm in Kerala. The Ayyappa devotees vow with strict self restrain and are always with Sarana manthra. They make a butiful temple with plantain stem and coconut tree leaf. Photos of Ayyappa, Ganesha, Devi, Karthikeyan and a Mosque for Vavar the Muhammadan friend of Ayyappa are made. A procession starts from a suitable place in which the devas are welcomed with a group of singers playing instrument called damaru/ udukku (playing- beating with fingers). The songs are chorus accompanying the leader, are in the praise of God referring to purana or based on the life of Lord Ayyappa. Devotees are chanting Sharanam Ayyappa. When the chorus reaches some peak the God Ayyappa begins to present in one of devotees and then Devi and so on.
Oh God support us.
