Inner secrets of Pillaiyar Nonbu

Shuklambharadharam Vishnum Shashi Varnam Chathur Bhujam

Prasanna Vadhanam Dhyayeth Sarva Vigno Upashanthaye.
Explanation:

On meditating the Lord, who wears white clothes,white-colored, fourhanded, charming-faced all the hurdles & obstacles would be gone or
escaped. The above hymn is chanted & the for head is being knocked,
which is said to simulate the spilling of Amrutha from the Amrutha
nadi in our fore-head.
Lord Ganesha is the first person to invent the letters and start writing.
Until then, the transactions were only in the form of sound. He
translated the sound form into a written script by showing his tusk in a
bent U shape manner (Pilliyarsuzhi). Henceforth before starting to
write, people pray to Ganesha to show their gratitude for giving life to
the sound form by translating it to a script form.

God is One, Paths are Many.

Everyone follows my path in all respects.
(Krishna Says In Bhagavad Gita)

Once Obstacles is removed ,we can Automatically

Move Towards Success

Pilliyar Story
Ganesha is the Ever-Blissful, elephant-headed god who is lovingly worshipped by
millions of people worldwide.
Vinayagar represents knowledge and considered to be the remover and destroyer of
obstacles.
The blessed Lord Ganesha has the form of OM and He is situated as the first syllable
of the Vedas. In chasing material desires, fame and wealth, we lose connection with
our inner selves.
Most of the time, we ask ourselves questions like: Am I really happy? Have I
achieved all I can?
Ganesha tells you that happiness is a state of mind that is achieved when you are
able to communicate with your inner self.
If you observe the Ganesha idol carefully, you will notice that while one of his feet
rests on the ground, the other is neatly folded up. This symbolizes a healthy balance
of materialism and spirituality.
While it is impossible to let go of ones material desires, it is important to maintain a
healthy balance between ones spiritual and material needs to lead a happy and
content life.

How Ganapathi was born?

According to the Ganesha Purana , Ganesha incarnated in each yuga in
a different form for a particular purpose to serve the Supreme Lord.
There are many stories regarding his birth. The most popular one is as follows.

Story I :
One day when Lord Shiva was away, Goddess Parvathi wanted to take
bath in the river.
To guard against any unwelcome intrusion, she took a little turmeric
paste from her body and created a young boy.
She gave him clear instructions not to allow any body inside.
Unfortunately at this time Lord Shiva returned.
The new boy refused him admission, though lord Shiva told him that
he is the husband of Parvathi.
Lord Shiva became very angry and cut off the head of this new boy
and threw it away using his trident. At this time, Goddess Parvathi
came back and became very sad, because the boy was created not
only protect Parvathi ,to protect the entire creation in the form of
Omkaraka tattva.

Lord Shiva realized her vision wanted to console Parvathi. Lord Siva
decided to give Omkara form of Body to the new Sakthi ,So he sent
his army to bring the head an elephant.
Shiva fixed that head on the boys trunk and brought him back to life
with Pravana Form.
Lord Siva also adopted him as his elder son and made him chief of his
army.
Story II :
Goddess Parvathi wanted a son badly and did Tapas to Lord Vishnu.
Lord Vishnu blessed her to have a son. Lord Siva and Parvathi was
very happy about the blessing.
Goddess Parvathi invited all Gods to come and see her baby.
Lord siva suggested not to invite Sani deva to see Ganesha, but
Parvathi refused to accept .
When Lord Sani (Planet Saturn) came and had a look at the baby, the
babys head was burnt.
Lord Vishnu traveled throughout the world and brought back a head
of an elephant which was fixed to the baby.

All Gods present there blessed the baby, that unless he is worshipped first, they
would not accept any worship.
The two Upa Puranas, the Ganesha Purana and Mud gala Purana treat Ganapathi as
the Great Sakthi in the creation, to whom even the Trinity pay obeisance and ask for
his help to save the world from evil.
The other Upa Purana, the Mudgala Purana, details eight incarnations of Ganesha,
each of which set out to conquer the vices that afflict man and woman and turn their
minds away from righteousness.
The first prayer always to Vinayagar because of his Omkara tattva.
Lord Ganeshas two Saktis are Kundalini Sakti and Vallabha Sakti.
Lord Ganesha is an embodiment of wisdom and bliss.
He is the Lord of Brahmacharins.
He is the foremost among Brahmacharins or celibates.
He rides on the Vahana, the small mouse.
He is the Presiding Deity of the Muladhara Chakra.
He is the Lord who removes all obstacles in the spiritual path and brings worldly
success.

So He is called Vighna Vinayaka.

His Bijakshara is Gang.
He is the Lord of harmony and peace.
Lord Ganesha Incarnated in the month of Bhadrapada or Simha ,Avani
month in Tamil
His birth Star is Hastha. The Specialty Of Hastha star is capable to
showing correct path of dharma to reach the lotus feet of supreme
Lord.
Lord Ganesha represents OM or the Pranava. Pranava is the supreme
Sound in all Mantras.
So without Omkara no mantra will give benefit.
Hence the practice of invoking Lord Ganesha before beginning any rite
or work is highly essential.
The two feet are His Jnana Sakthi and Kriya Sakthi. Lord Ganesha has
the elephant-head as that is the one figure in nature which is of the
form of Pranava.
Riding on the mouse represents that He has killed egoism.

He holds Ankusha. This represents that He is the Ruler of the world.

This is the emblem of Divine Royalty.
Ganesha is Adi-Deva of Supreme lord . Mouse is a small creature.
Elephant is the biggest of all animals. Riding on a mouse and wearing
the head of an elephant denote that He is the Creator of all creatures,
from the biggest elephant to the smallest mouse.
This is small write up on Lord Ganesh Birth.

Ganesh Chaturthi

Ganesha Chaturthi and Ganesha Vrata

Ganesha Chaturthi is one of the most popular of Hindu festivals. This

is the birthday of Ganesha.
It is the day most sacred to Lord Ganesha. It is observed on the fourth
day of the bright fortnight of Bhadrapada or Avani in Tamil month
throughout India.
Clay figures of the Deity are made, and after being worshipped for
two days, or in some cases ten days, are thrown into water.
Ganesh Vrata that has become enjoined as a compulsory observance,
as a matter of tradition.
Ganesh Vrata for the attainment of some particular end in view,
usually for clearing oneself of false and unjust accusations and
charges, recovering lost objects, regaining lost status, and removal of
obstacles in an enterprise. It is to be performed on the fourth day of
the dark fortnight.
The divine sage Narada prescribed this Vrata to the supreme Lord Sri
Krishna who wished to wipe off the dishonor of the charge of stealing
the Syamantaka Gem.

Lord Krishna instructed Yudhishthira to perform this Vrata at the time of the
Mahabharata war.
This renowned Vrata was effectively celebrated by the Devas to obtain Ambrosia on
the eve of churning the ocean.

Damayanti adopted this vrata to find her lost husband.

Lord Rama adopted this fast to get back Sita as instructed by Vashista.
Indra performed this vrata to defeat Vritra Asura

Mother Draupadi suggested this vrata to Samba to get cured of incurable disease.
From the Creation onwards so many people are benefitted by observing this vrata
who performs this Puja with faith, devotion and concentration obtains all that he
desires and attains the Highest Abode.
Ganesha removes all the obstacles to make progress in spiritual path for self
realization and blessing for Bakthi to serve the Supreme Lord.

Pilliyar Nonbu

Pilliyar Nonbu
Pilliyar Nonbu is a very unique and important festival for the devotees for lord
Vinayaga.
This festival is observed by mostly people of Chettinadu i.e. Naattukottai
Nagarathars and few people who knows the inner secrets also observing this
Nonbu.
The Nonbu is adopted for 21 days begins on the Thiru Karthika Purnima day.
Significance of the month of Karthika.
Sage Narada enquired of Lord Brahma as to which was the best month of a year, who
was the best Deity to worship and which was the best Tirtha to visit.
Brahmas instant reply was that the best month of a Year was Kartika, the Supreme
Deity to worship was Narayanaya and the most Sacred Tirtha was Badari Kshetram.
As regards Kartika Month, Bhagavan Vishnu always accorded high esteem and
whatever good deeds were performed in the Masa were fully accepted by all the
Devas since they were readily available there through out the month

 Karthika Masam is auspicious to both the devotees of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu
and as well as for lord Ganesha, Muruga and Iyappa.
Astrologically two Pournamis are very special.
The first one is Chitra Purnima and the second one is Karthika Purnima.
Planet Sun is very powerful (means uccha, highest happiness state)in Chitra
Purnima. Moon is very powerful in Karthika Purnima.
Moon Purnima is highly appreciated compared to Chitra Purnima because of
moons powerful position in the highest dharma Natchatra of Rohini and sun wrong
direction during Chitra Purnima . Those who know astrology can understand easily.
Karthika Purnima blessing both materialistic and spiritual benefits.

Venus ,Sun, Mars and Sani are natural karakas for Kalapurusha financial houses.
This Karthika Purnima is occurring in Kalapurusha 2nd and 8th houses.
Sun is natural 5th lord . So connection between 2nd ,5th ,8th houses during the
Purnima is highly auspicious for financial matters.

Bakthi means one has to engage his all senses for the Gods satisfaction.

People happily concentrate on Business after getting blessing from the God .
The Aim of Business is to make profit. But sometimes we fail to put limitation in to
that. Due to that we are forced to earn little karmas.
The reason is Everyone implicitly recognizes that love alone can make him happy.
People think that by giving more and more wealth to their loved ones, they will get
more and more love, thats why with short time they want to earn more money.
When we learn to love the Supreme Lord , then automatically we develop true love
for all living beings (including our loved ones).
Bhagavad-Gita prescribes:

A man must elevate himself by his own mind, not degrade himself. The mind is the
friend of the conditioned soul, and his enemy as well. (Bhagavad Gita 6.5)
The mind has to be trained in such a way that it can deliver the conditioned soul
from the darkness of the material world and bring him into the light of Krishna
consciousness.

This is a simple explanation of how we should view economics according to the

principles of Vedic Dharma.
First of all, the higher vision of Vedic understanding is that we see everything as the
energy of the Supreme Being.
Doing business or managing economics in a way that deliberately cheats or exploits
others will harden our hearts and our sensitivity so that we become unable to
perceive the Divine in all living beings and even in ourselves.
The point is there must be integrity in all transactions and business relations.
If we use the above mentioned principle, then by seeing the Divine in all living
beings we can minimize accumulation of negative karma.
The Supreme lord is also observing our every act, not only from within us but from
within the person with whom we are dealing.
If business people fails to adopt certain Dharma , slowly the negative karma will
develop and will spoil our good qualities and financial wealth .

The ancient sages suggested this Powerful Pilliyar Nonbu ,to be adopted for 21 days
to neutralize the bad karmas accumulated through Wrong Earning .
The significance of 21 days fasting to lord Ganesha begins on Karthika Purnima day
and ends on Shasti thithi associate with Sathayam star ruling day.

People may think Shasti is connected with lord Muruga how this thithi is connected
to lord vinayaga.
Shasti and Ekadasi are capable of controlling the highest dharma natchatra Rohini.
The Highest negativity try to store on human system on these thithis ruling day
only. Once it is stored it will manifest as samskaras .That's why the ancient Rishis
suggested to perform purification in the form of vrata on these thithi days(Shasti
and Ekadasi Vrata).These Two Thithi vrata more Powerful for cleansing the karmas.
All stars of Rahu planets affects the opposite dharma Rasis (Mesha,Sima & Dhanur).
The Sathayam natchatra affects Rasi of simha where the Supreme Lord Krishna and
Vinayaga are residing..Lord Vinayaga birth month is Avani and the birth star is
Hastha. The supreme lord Krishna born Avani month Rohini star.
The combination of Shasti and Sathayam makes soonyam(inactive) of simha Rasi.

The inner meaning is ,the karma accumulated by the individual acts through
Sathayam natchatra and affect the sheytram of Simha Rasi and finally its making
the person to forget lord Krishna and Vinayaga. So fasting worshiping lord Vinayaga
on Sathayam and Shasti thithi combination day highly auspicious for purification.
The impact is business person has to undergo financial sufferings, unhappiness in
life and also make our inner habits as Gajamukhasura .
Sathayam natchatra is connected to Asura Gajamukhasura .
Gajamukhasura Obtains a boon from Lord Siva that he may not be killed by Gods,
humans ,demons or by any weapon. Armed with this boon, he starts oppressing the
three worlds.
The Devas were forced to kneel with their hands holding their ears cross-wise as
also their legs,(Thoopukarnanm) during the worship of Gajamukhasura .Devas and
saints continued to Thoopukarnanm to Lord Ganesha after the defeat of the Asura.
If the Gajamukhasura developed in our heart is not destroyed will make us separate
from divinity. Without the help of Gananatha it is very difficult to defeat the Asura
Guanas, Because he is controller of Muladhara and Ganas.
Lord Ganesha mercy made the Gajamukhasura as his vahana.
The Rat is represent by two stars Makha and Puram. both are residing in the Rasis of
Simha. This is the greatest evidence how lord Vinayaga is purifying his devotees.

Ganesha Kills Demon Gajamugasuran

The rat is said to be a servant of Ganesha and was originally an evil demon,
Gajamukhasura, whom he had subdued in a battle.
The defeated demon requested that Ganesha to transform him into a highly agile
creature so that he could best serve the god.
Ganesha agreed and Gajamukhasura became his trusty companion in the form of a
rat.
What is the inner significance of the mouse as vahana?
The mouse has a keen sense of smell.
The mouse is a symbol of the attachment to worldly tendencies (vasanas).
The mouse also symbolizes the darkness of night.
The mouse can see well in the dark.
As Vinayakas vehicle the mouse signifies an object that leads man from darkness to
light.
The Vinayaka's principle, thus, means that which removes all the bad qualities, and
assures good qualities, good conduct and good thoughts.
Fasting 21 days and worshiping lord Ganesha from Karthika Deepam to Shasti &
Sathayam natchatra combination day is highly auspicious for both spiritual and
materialistic benefits.

There are some stories to support this vrata .In Kaveripoompattinam a Nagarathars
family teenage girl was ill treated by her stepmother and accused of stealing her
diamond ring.
The girl worshipped Lord Ganesha for 21 days from the month of KARTHIKAI. She
counted days by a thread from her sari.
On the 21st day from Karthigai Purnima she got an answer from the Lord and her
innocence was revealed. This fell on the day of Sathayam and Shasti.
The inner secrets of Pillaiyar Nonbu festival is reveled astrologically for the benefit
of devotees by Sri Veera Bramendra swamy ,Avatar of Lord Vishnu.
Veera Bramendra Swamy temple is situated in Nesapakkam ,K.K.Nagar Chennai.
