let's discuss a bit more on what exactly is this unique flowers' festival is all about and it's relative celebration amidst and in-line to the Sharannavaraatri Durga Pooja / Dasara celebrations...
For those of you who have had a chance to listen to Sathguru ShreeChaaganTi gaari invaluable discourses talking about the greatness of a flower in being an embodiment and thus a symbolic representation of the respective energy elements possessed by the 5 primordial elements of Sky, Air, Fire, Water, Earth that together form the entire universal frame that every living being takes refugee in....
1. Sky is the means of propagating sound,
2. Air is the means of propagating fragrance/aroma,
3. Fire is the means of propagating Heat and Light,
4. Water is the means of propagating life,
5. Earth is the means of supporting life,
(Interestingly, the first and the last elements of Sky and Earth hold all these 5 primordial elements at their higher magnitudes..)
A flower is that marvellous creation of God which holds all these panchabhoota tattwamulu via their symbolic representations..
1. A bee's humm around a flower is indeed that flower's sound element...
2. A flower's fragrance is the symbolic representation of it's air element.
3. A color / light / heat radiated by a flower is the symbolic representation of it's fire element.
( Yes you heard it right..A flower holds heat too. For those ardent listeners of Sathguru ShreeChaaganTi pravachanams, guruji has stated in one of his Pravachanams about how the heat caused by the heavy flower garlands decorated to Lord Shree Venkateshwara is subsided by certain upachaaraalu / nivedanalu / prasaadaalu offered to the Lord. The heat element constituted by a flower is absorbed along with the nectar by a bee and thus it is for this very reason as per AyurvedaShaastram, honey when heated becomes poison due to the inverse reaction with the embedded natural heat element. Hence honey, the most miraculous food provided by the nature, is always prescribed to be consumed either in it's direct form or by mixing with lukewarm water....)
4. The nectar held by every flower is the symbolic representation of it's water element.
5. And a flower being a tangible/edible/visible/sniffable/audible
(via it's inseparable Bee's humm ) marks
the symbolic representation of it's Earth element.
Thus flowers have become the most dearest entities offered to God...
( Similar to the list of "which material gives what kind of result when used for Rudraaabhishekam..., there is a different chapter that deals with the various blessings conferred by Gods based on the various flowers offered to them...)
So, various flowers are indeed those much required elements to prepare Bratukamma as an offering to Aashwayuja AadiparaaShakti aaraadhana...
As explained in my earlier posts, a new cycle of 27 stars' coalition with moon ( of which 12 are visible from the earth realm ) gets started with Aashwayuja maasam.
Every tree posesses a speciality and the same is identified by the flower or fruit produced by it...
A rose plant...A hibiscus plant...A jasmine plant etc etc....implies a plant that produces the flower it is named after....
So, flowers essentially symbolize the Chaitanya Shakti / Jeeva Shakti of a plant and thus that of the JeevaatmaShakti of Prakruthi....
A complete full-fledged Bratukamma is indeed a 3D Shree Chakram carefully carved off of various flowers after arranging them in the required patterns...
Hence it would become the most sought after entity for inviting various supra consciousness' energies and instilling them in to their respective nodes known as "ShreeChakraNavaavarana deavataamanDala sthireekarana" in a Shree Chakram".
( A meta-physical "ShreeChakram" rejuvenated on top of a physical ShreeChakra yantram or an equivalent representation is an extremely complex topic involving a multitude of topics belonging to the 'ShaakteyaAaraadhana vidhaanam' involving powerful Beejaakshara Nyaasam, Adhidevataa Pratyadhideavataa sahita ManiDweepa sambandhita mantra bandhanam, BinduMandala aadiparaaShakti sthireekaraNam and so on which are better left to those well versed scholars adept at handling such high frequency spiritual practices which aren't that easy for a common man to handle because of the high power factors associated with such worshipping methodologies...)
So, the worship of a natural low frequency floral Shree Chakra formation without any MantraShaastra sambandhita nyaasa prakriya, is the most simplest form of a great means of worshipping the aadiparaaShakti by one and all to the best of their capacities and when several such Bratukamma formations are grouped together they would naturally form a combined collection of low frequency entities resulting in medium or 'optimally fine to handle' high frequency formations akin to grouping 10 AA batteries instead of 1 single AA battery to run some small robotic toy the kids play with...
( with such multiplicative battery energy it's speed of functioning would be slightly high but would still be well within the limits of controlling it safely...)
So would be the case with multiple Bratukama formations being grouped together and collectively worshipped by all the woman circumambulating them by signing folk songs / claps in a cohesive fashion to worship the embedded naadaShakti...
One might have watched videos where in an aligned magnetic system via it's energized magnetic field, would generate current enough to run a mini DC motor that can in-turn propel many other systems to achieve various mechanical executions...
So, some individual magnetic elements when aligned in a cohesive fashion generate electrical energy via the embedded magnetic energy which in turn is getting transformed in to mechanical energy....
Look at way the natural potential energy embedded in the magnetic field posessed by certain elements is gradually getting transformed in to Kinetic mechanical energy that can do many wonders as we all are aware of...!
So is the case with Bratukamma festival and it's significantly simple process in enabling woman to derive the energy required to live a strong life from the nature's potential energy embedded in various ways in various flowers....
( "Bratukamma" anagaa chakkani bratukunu prasaadinchunadi ani kadaa ardham... )
If it is true that a small tablet / pill holds a great amount of energy in an embedded form that would be received and processed by the body upon it's consumption to heal an ailment in a marvellous way...
If it is true that a small AA battery holds great amount of electric energy to power up a portable fan / flash light for hours...
Then it's equally true that a small pollen grain unit posessed by flowers holds a certain kind of natural embedded energy elements that can be received by woman worshipping a batkamma holding several such pollen grain units residing amidst those marvellous flowers...that would be consumed by her mind and body to make her strong enough to endure through several seasonal changes and their effects on them which can be perceived only by those apparatus that can measure the various energies emitted by a ShreeChakraYantra to quantify them interms of comprehendable scientific units of kilo joules...
So, essentially the celebration of Bratukamma festival heralds a significantly simple process of harnessing various energies embedded in the nature to revive and rejuvenate their natural auras so that it helps them to shield themselves from getting affected by various antagonizing energy elements resulting in via various seasonal changes...
For those of you who know the pendulum watches, that create a harmonious movement and thus the associated energies which aid each other in the clock's effective functioning.....
a similar rhythmic effect is brought in to the Bratukamma worship by the "Uyyaala Paatalu" ( cradle songs ) like
" Bratukamma Bratukamma Uyyaaloa....
Bagaaru Bratukamma Uyyaaloa....
and Gowramma paaTalu like
" Eemeemi poovappunee gowramma
Eemeemi kaayappunee gowramma"
etc etc.. that have a lyrical symmetry to bring in a harmonious effect while circumambulating all the grouped Batkammas which would aid in creating an acoustic field to draw in the embedded floral energies in a much absorbable pattern thus helping them to successfully achieve the very purpose of celebrating the floral festival in that particular cascaded floral unit format...
While concluding the festival all the batkammas are typically carried to the near by water-bodies / ponds / lakes etc to leave the floral unit such that it sails on the water for some time and then gradually gets dissolved in to the waters....
Thus, nature has been returned to the nature after extracting the embedded energy elements which would now replenish the nutritional content of the muddy waters which were cleansed naturally to get rid off of harmful bacteria by the energies of various leaves used in the preceding months' Ganapathi festival / immersions...
These are the modern times where in we are fortunate that our government is serving it's citizens treated water via mission Bhagiratha etc...which wasn't the case during our ancestors' time who simply relied on their near by local water bodies' waters....
So they were first naturally disinfected with the energies emitted by the 21 kinds of leaves / herbs possessing medicinal properties used in the Ganapathi aaraadhana and then they were naturally replenished by the floral energies emitted by the flowers submitted in the water bodies to conclude the Bathukamma festival...
So there was no trace of any harmful chemicals / elements in the water or food or air used / consumed by our ancestors who lived in perfect harmony with nature and it's nourishment via celebrating such eco-friendly festivals that have always balanced the quotient of
"Human being for nature and nature for human being..." and thus they were always healthy enough to walk several miles to carry out their tasks without getting exhausted or using cycles or bikes used by the today's modern generation for our daily needs....
Came across a new soothing composition, set to a sober lyrical celebration of the Bratukamma spirit, by A.R.Rahman....
(Not every flower is the same...and thus not every beat is the same... A few are strong/fast beat compositions and a few are soothy/slow beat compositions... For a few the lyrical strength matters over the magnitude of the tune...)
On the occasion of my little princess' arrival in to our lives, here is a small lyrical floral tribute to this year's saddula Bratukamma festival as an obeisance to her highness ShreeBhuvaneshwariDevi.... 😊💐🍨🍕
