ఏడు వారాల నగలంటే ఏమిటి?

పూర్వం రోజుల్లో గ్రహాల అనుకూలం కోసం ఏడు రోజుల్లో ఏడు రకాల నగలు ధరించే వారు. వాటినే ఏడు వారాల నగలు అనేవారు. ఈ పదం ఇప్పటికీ అక్కడక్కడా వినిపిస్తూనే ఉంటుంది. అసలు ఏడు వారాల నగలంటే ఏంటి అనే అంశంపై  నిపుణులను అడిగితే...

పూర్వం రోజుల్లో స్త్రీలు వారం రోజులూ ఒక్కో రోజు ఒక్కో గ్రహం అనుగ్రహంకోసం, ఆరోగ్యం కోసం బంగారు ఆభరణాలు ధరించేవారని, వాటినేఏడువారాల నగలు అనే వారని అంటున్నారు. వీటిని ధరించడం వల్ల సంపూర్ణ ఆయురారోగ్యాలు, అష్టైశ్వర్యాలు సిద్ధిస్తాయని స్త్రీల ప్రగాఢ విశ్వాసం. అలాంటి ఏడు వారాల నగలు అంటే ఏమిటో తెలుసుకోవాలనే ఆసక్తి ఇప్పటికీ చాల మంది మహిళల్లో ఉందంటున్నారు.  

ఆదివారం రోజు సూర్యానుగ్రహం కోసం కెంపు వర్ణం కమ్మలు, హారాలను ధరిస్తారు. 

సోమవారం రోజున చంద్రుని అనుగ్రహం కోసం ముత్యాల హారాలు, ముత్యాలు పొదిగిన బంగారు గాజులను,
మంగళవారం రోజున కుజుని అనుగ్రహం కోసం పగడాల దండలు, పగడాల ఉంగరాలను ధరిస్తారు.
అలాగే, 
బుధవారం రోజున బుద్ధుని అనుగ్రహం కోసం పచ్చల పతకాలు, గాజులు ధరిస్తారు. 
గురువారం రోజు బృహస్పతి అనుగ్రహం కోసం పుష్యరాగం, కమ్మలు, ఉంగరాలను, 
శుక్రవారం శుక్రుని అనుగ్రహం కోసం వజ్రాల హారాలు, వజ్రపు ముక్కుపుడక, 
శనివారం రోజున శని గ్రహం అనుగ్రహం కోసం నీలమణి హారాన్ని ధరిస్తారని చెపుతున్నారు.

పూజకు తర్వాత దేవుడికి పెట్టే నైవేద్యం ప్రత్యేకత ఏమిటి!?

నైవేద్యమును "నివేదనమ్" అంటారు. మన మనస్సులోని విషయాన్ని సుఖదుఃఖాలను ఏవైనా వానిని గురించి సందేహాలుంటే, వాటిని స్వామికి నివేదించుకోవడమే నివేదనం. అన్నం, కూర, పప్పు, పచ్చడి, రకరకాల పిండి వంటలూ ఎంతో కష్టపడి చేసిన ఆహార పదార్థాలన్నింటినీ దేవునికి సమర్పించడాన్ని కూడా నివేదనం అంటారు.

నివేదన కోసం రోజంతా కష్టపడి, భక్తి విషయానికి వచ్చేటప్పటికీ ఓర్పు నశించి, మందగిస్తారు కొందరు. అలా మందగించడం ఎలాంటిదంటే చెట్టు మొదలు నరికి, నీళ్ళు పోయడం వంటిది అవుతుంది. "భగవాన్నోదక ప్రియః" అంటే దేవుడికి తిండి అంటే ఇష్టం కాదు అని అర్థం. అయితే నివేదనము అన్న మాటకు ఆత్మలోని విషయాన్ని నివేదించుకోవడమేనా అనే భావం కలుగుతుంది. అలా అయినప్పుడు దేవాలయంలో ఎప్పుడూ నివేదనలు ఎందుకు ఇస్తారు అనిపిస్తుంది.

ఈ నివేదనం సాకుతో ఏవో చేయడం కాదు. అసలు నివేదన రహస్యాన్ని అందరూ తెలుసుకోవాలన్న అర్థమే తప్ప దేవుడు తినాలనిగానీ, దేవుడు తింటాడనీ కానీ అర్థం కాదు. నివేదనం చేసాక దానినే "ప్రసాదం" అంటూ అందరికీ పంచి పెడతాము. ప్రసాదం అనే మాటకు అనుగ్రహం అని అర్థం.

దేవుడికి పెట్టిన ఆహారం అని కాదు "దేవా! నీ నివేదానికి సమర్పించినది, ఈ విధంగా మాకు ప్రసాదంగా లభించింది." అని పూజారి మనకా ప్రసాదాన్ని అందిస్తాడు. అంటే దేవుడికి నివేదిస్తే ప్రసాద సిద్ధి, అనుగ్రహ సిద్ధి ఉంటుందని పండితులు అంటున్నారు.
