Respected Swamiji, Can you please say about the birthday celebration details, manthras etc in our ancient culture, so that we can bring this to practise..
Posted by Reghu Raj on February 13, 2017
Celebrate according to the Nakshatra as per lunar calendar. Wake up very early in the morning and start your day with abhyanga-snana i.e., take bath after applying oil, head to toe. The parents and elders can bless saying:
Shathamanam bhavathi
shatayuH puruShaH shatendriyaH
aayuShyevendriye pratitiShThati
(a blessing to live for hundred years)
After taking bath, pray to your kula-devata or ishta-devata. Remember the names of the 7 chiranjivi’s (by birth): Ashwathama, Mahabali, Vyasa, Hanuman, Vibhishana, Kripacharya and Parashurama. Or simply say :
Ashwathaama Balirvyaaso Hanumanshcha
Vibhishanah Krupascha Parashuramashcha
Saptaitey Chiranjivinah
Ayushya Suktam from the Yajur Veda can be recited for a long and healthy life. Optionally, Ayushya Homam may also be performed.
Visit the nearest temple.
If you can afford, donate food and clothes to the needy. Hari Om.
