Ayurvedic Bath powder for kids
Introduction
You may all wonder, why take the pain of preparing something at home, when you get a lot of baby products at your doorstep..Let me share with you some shocking discoveries which made me switch completely to Ayurveda..Post reading this post, even if you are not ready to prepare this recipe, I would recommend you to switch to natural products to save your baby’s skin.
What’s so shocking about commercial products
I recommend you all to download an app called ThinkDirty from Google Playstore..
In that app,just scan your product’s barcode or just type in the product’s name to find all ingredients and their effects on your baby’s skin..
I have hidden the product’s name to avoid issues.
This will help you buy products mindfully that will not cause any damage to your baby..
Now we know, whats the problem with commercial products..Many products add artificial colors and fragrances which they need not disclose as it is their business secret. But these are the most harmful chemicals that causes permanent irreversible damage to our little ones..
Ayurveda has whole lots of goodness to offer and nourish your baby’s skin.. I have been using Ayurvedic products for my daughter, right from her birth and I can feel it retains the moisture and her skin glows naturally.. So, now we have realized the goodness of Ayurveda..
So let’s try this at home and gift our little ones the best of mother nature..
This bath powder can be used by both ladies and children. For men,you can avoid kuppameni and turmeric as it has facial hair removal properties.
Ingredients
1.Kuppaimeni powder
2. Neem powder
3. Pure Sandalwood powder
4. Turmeric powder
5. Aloevera powder
6. Orange peel powder
7. Sevandi poo powder
Benefits
Kuppameni is an amazing herb which has a lot of anti inflammatory and analgesic properties. It is very good for skin related problems. Using it from early age,will give a natural healthy skin. It can cure any type of skin diseases.. It is the best medicine for wounds and scars on skin.. It cures quickly than expected..
If you are unable to source the other ingredients, I would recommend you to at least buy Kuppameni and Neem powder and add curd to it, to apply on baby’s skin.. Curd moisturizes the skin and makes it very soft.
Neem has anti fungal properties and greatly helps in lightening scars and pigmentation related problems. It cures acne and can be used for exfoliation.
Orange peel powder brightens your skin and has excellent anti-bacterial properties. The flavonoids in orange peels are known to permeate membranes and heal inflammation.
Sevandi poo(Marigold) has been used in ancient Indian medical practises extensively. It is said to beautify skin and give a natural glow.
Aloevera, Sandal and turmeric is most commonly used and has enormous benefits.
Where to buy?
You can get all these powders in Tamil Marundu/ Naatumarundu kadai in your locality. You can also buy online from the link below.
How to use?
Mix all the powders together and store in an airtight container. For bath, take required quantity and mix with 1 tsp of curd. Apply a small amount on hand and first check for allergies. If it suits you, then you can continue using it daily for bath.
For children, apply this paste and leave it for 2 mins and then bath with warm water. You need not apply moisturizer, as curd naturally moisturizes baby’s skin.
Note
All these recipes have been given by my grandmother and we have been using it for generations. We have seen very good results. If you’re allergic to any particular ingredient please avoid it.
Kuppameni and neem,sandal and aloevera will suit all commonly.
Conclusion
This is not a time consuming process.. You can make a list of all the ingredients and buy it from your local store, mix it and its ready in a jiffy.. Commercial products not only damage your baby’s skin but also has very dangerous side effects..Hope this would be useful..

How to do Anusham Pooja
Introduction
Mahaperiyava has created magic in my life..I owe everything to him and will continue doing Anusham Pooja forever..I dedicate this blog post to his lotus feet…
Since many are asking me how to do this Pooja,I am writing this post to help them with all the information I know about this Pooja..Please try this, to reap the amazing benefits..I can guarantee your life will change once forever..
My Story
In 2019 I was suffering from lot of health ailments..I had tried everything to bring back my sanity,but in vain..I had gained 140 kgs and didn’t know how to reduce it..To make things worse,doctors advised Bariatric surgery..But I was scared and weak to undergo any procedure..
I also had a dream of living in a duplex home..Since my health was not cooperative I could not work on my dream too…
I was discussing my issues with my aunt..That was the time,she told me about Mahaperiyava..She asked me to do Anusham Pooja and said definitely everything will change post completion of the Pooja..True to her words,my life changed..
Post the Pooja which I did for 48 days, I started on a fitness journey with the help of a leading health coach..Within 8 months,I reached 99 from 140 kgs..It was like a miracle happening in front of my eyes..We also built a duplex home recently and now we are living happily and I owe all the success and happiness to Mahaperiyava..Even if you try your level best, you need the spiritual light to guide you in achieving the desired results..That spiritual light is Mahaperiyava..
How to do Anusham Pooja
When to do Pooja:
You can start the Pooja on a Anusham day and continue for 48 days or do only on Anusham days..Refer the picture below for Anusham dates in 2020..
Anusham is the birth star of Mahaperiyava..Or you can start on anusham and continue for 48 days….
The 48 days Pooja is very effective..Why?
27 nakshatras,9 planets and 12 rashis are the principal elements of Indian astrology that control our lives and destinies
So, 27+9+12=48
It is the ideal average time for any result if we work dedicatedly..48 days Pooja is very very powerful..
Also, In this 48 days moon completes two rotations for your rasi and 33 stars complete alignment with sun…I did for 48 days and on the 50th day I started with my fitness journey..Results will be quicker than you expect..
On the days of your menustral cycle,you can take a break and then continue…
How to start Pooja
Before starting this Pooja you can visit Thenambakam
Brahmapureeswarar temple..It is the temple in which Mahaperiyava stayed in a 10*10 room..Meditating in that room gives lot of mental peace..I strongly recommend visiting that temple..
Note:Ladies,please in saree,as they do not allow inside the 10*10 room if you wear other dresses…
You can know more about this temple from the link below..
Then you can visit Kanchi Mutt and buy Mahaperiyava idol there..You can buy a brass idol for abhishekam and paper mache idol for Pooja..
Brass Idol
I bought all idols from Kanchi Mutt..You can also get valampuri shank for abhishekam.. It is said that valampuri shankh to get rid of all the hurdles in life and removes negaitivity.It is not available in Mutt..I got it from Mahabalipuram Seashell Muesum..Then buy dress for idol from Giri traders or naatumarundu kadai near your home..
You can visit Thenambakam temple at the end of the Pooja too..This step is completely your choice..But I highly recommend visiting that temple…
You have to recite an ashtotram with 108 mantras..
You can download the ashtotram from the link below..
You can listen to the ashtotram from the link below..
Please listen to know the correct pronunciation..
You can also sing some bhajans..Leaving the links below for you..This step is completely optional..
Print the ashtotram and practice it once by listening to the audio.. Get necessary flowers for Pooja and other items..Now you are all set to begin!!!
On the Pooja day
Start the Pooja on a Anusham day….
First we invite God Ganesha and pray to him to remove all the hurdles in our life and help to complete this Pooja successfully..Any Pooja you do,should start with praying to Ganesha..Next invite Mahaperiyava to your Pooja and home..
Basically it is like inviting the God to your home,bathing them, offering new dress,food and praising them (in ashtotram) to make them happy…
Invite God by praying to him and asking him to accept your Pooja..
Next step we can start with abhishekam(Bathing part)
I have the following
Milk
Honey
Rosewater
Valampuri Sangu
New Dress
Flowers
And an abhishekam powder..It’s not in the picture..These are basic items..You can include as many abhishekam items as you wish..Use the valampuri shank for pouring all the abhishekam items on the idol..
Then start with placing Ganesha and Mahaperiyava in Tambalam for abhishekam and complete it using all the Pooja items mentioned above..
Post Abhishekam dress the idol.. Keep some bhindi with sandalwood paste and kukum powder… Then u can offer the new dress..I usually swaddle Mahaperiyava like a baby in the new dress🙂
Yellow dress this time
Next after abhishekam you can proceed with reciting the ashtotram..While reciting ashtotram you can offer flowers to God..
Post that,you can sing some bhajans..I have provided the links above..
Then you can proceed with neivadhiyam..This time I have prepared Sundal..You can offer fruits,panagam,milk,payasam anything of your choice..
Then you can proceed with lighting the camphor or nei deepam..I prefer nei deepam as ghee has the nature to spread positive vibrations.
You can meditate for sometime and connect with God..Then you can end the Pooja with namaskaram..
I have prepared a sambrani powder for this Pooja with 21 ayurvedic ingredients..I spread sambrani fumes all over home post Pooja..This gives a very divine smell and feels like temple..Also the ayurvedic ingredients kills the harmful bacteria and viruses in air and keeps your home disease free..
Sounds like an advertisement..LOL🙂🙂
Even if you are not able to procure everything, just 10 minutes recitation of the ashtotram with ultimate dedication to God will do wonders..It’s not about how grand your Pooja looks,it’s about how devoted you are in surrendering yourself to Mahaperiyava….
If we surrender ourselves without any reservation to the Guru, he will save us from all sorrows and show us the way to salvation.
Conclusion
Post 48 days of Pooja, my life changed..I am now free from diseases and living in my dream home..All happened in a jiffy and truly I can’t believe it,till date..I prayed to him during my first pooja that if “you accept this Pooja,I should build my dream home soon and you should stay with me there forever”…It happened 🤩..I believe he resides in my home and I will continue being grateful to him throughout my life..
Let me know if you need more details in the comments section..I would be glad to help you out and if you like this article and found it useful I would be very happy to hear from you..
May we all seek Mahaperiyava’s blessings..
Hara Hara Sankara,Jaya Jaya Sankara..
