What Do You Learn From Festivals

 

India is often referred to as the land of the festival. Various festivals are celebrated all over the country throughout the year. There are different types of people based on religion, caste and cultural background in the country. Although there is so much diversity, these people live in a completely harmonious way. Being a secular country, India offers its citizens the freedom to practice any religion and culture as long as it does not create communal rancor. The festival is an occasion that brings out the best in Indians. During festivals, they all forget the hostility and open their arms to every visitor. These festivals are celebrated with much pomp and on most occasions, people from different communities join each other in moments of joy.

Goddess Durga (or mother, known as 'Ma') was first documented in the epic Ramayana before Lord Rama fought Ravana. However, the tradition became dormant by the late 1500s, when landlords in Bengal took it over. It was finalized in the 18th century as Beroari (or 12 friends) worship, a term that eventually came to refer to the community-sponsored Durga Puja held in Kolkata.

Essentially, all parts of India celebrate this period, but as Navratri. It is worth a 9-day fast, which ends with Dussehra, a day where an effigy of Ravana is lit, to show that evil is always as good as the champion as Lord Rama championed over Ravana. created.

MA

We consider Maa Durga as more than just a goddess. While it is true that she is a symbol of raw power (or power) that overcomes evil by killing the evil demon Mahisasura (hence the term Mahisasura-Mardini), she is much more than that. The ten days that begin with Mahalaya indicate an annual visit to her ancestral home in Bengal with her 4 children. As Ma is, at the same time, a mother, a wife, a goddess, and most importantly, a member of our family. We love him dearly, we respect him, we love him and we love him. He is more than just a divinity.

सनातन का अर्थ है शाश्वत। यानी ऐसा सत्य जिसे कभी भी मिटाया या झुठलाया न जा सके। हिंदू और सनातन धर्म को मानने वाले इसी सत्य के सिद्धांत पर विश्वास करते हैं। उनका मानना है कि ईश्वर ऐसी शक्ति है जो पूरे ब्रह्मांड का संचालन कर रही है और वही शाश्वत भी है। यानी ईश्वर को कभी भी झुठलाया या मिटाया नहीं जा सकता। हिंदू और सनातन धर्म के लोग ईश्वर के इसी शाश्वत स्वरूप पर विश्वास करते हैं। मिलती-जुलती शिक्षाओं, वेद-पुराणों के कथन पर दोनों ही धर्म को मानने वाले लोगों का भरोसा हैं। यही कारण है कि सनातन धर्म को हिंदू धर्म भी कहा जाता है। लेकिन, वेदों के अनुसार सनातन धर्म की उत्पत्ति पृथ्वी पर सभ्यताओं या मानव की उत्पत्ति से भी सहस़्त्रों वर्शों पहले हो गई थी। ऋषि-मुनि इसी धर्म की शिक्षाओं और वेद-पुराणों में लिखी बातों का प्रचार कर रहे थे। किंतु, सिंधु घाटी सभ्यता के विकसित होने के बाद आर्यावर्त के लोगों को हिंदू कहा जाने लगा और यहीं से हिंदू धर्म भी अस्तित्व में आया। सत्य यही है कि हिंदू धर्म सनातन संस्कृति का हिस्सा है, जिसमें मनुष्य के कर्तव्यों का निर्धारण किया गया है। लोक कल्याण के लिए उसकी जिम्म्मे...

  What is Sanatana Dharma ? Sanatana Dharma has a wide spectrum of culture, beliefs and traditions. Sanatana is not merely a word, it's a way of life which was designed to best ensure the continuity of humanity on this earth and provide the entire population with spiritual sustenance. Sanatana Dharma is a way of truth that places individual spiritual practices through ritual, Yoga, mantra and meditation over any particular belief, faith or institution. Sanatana Dharma believes that truth is even more important than God, whose best definition is the eternal truth. Sanatana Dharma is beyond all views of monotheism or polytheism, and it teaches us to see the Divine in everything as the power of universal consciousness. The two words, "Sanatana Dharma", come from the ancient Sanskrit language. "Sanatana" is a Sanskrit word that denotes that which is Anadi (beginningless), Anantha (endless) and does not cease to be, that which is eternal and everlasting. The History ...

Why Lord Vishnu Is Called Palanhar

शास्त्रों में विष्णु के लिए कहा गया है - शांताकारं भुजगशयनं पद्यनाभ सुरेशम विश्वाधार गगनसदृशं मेघवर्ण शुभांगम लक्ष्मीकांतं कमलनयनं योगिभिध्र्यानगमयम वंदे विष्णुं भवभयहरं सर्वलोकैनाथं अर्थात- जो शांत आकार हैं ,  नागों की शैय्या पर शयन करने वाले हैं। जिनकी नाभि में कमल है और जो सभी देवों के अधिपति हैं। विश्व के आधार हैं ,  आकाश के सामान हैं। बादलों के सामान जिनकी कांति है। जो लक्ष्मी के पति हैं ,  कमल के सामान नयनों वाले हैं। जो योगियों के ध्यान में दिखाई पड़ते हैं। जो समस्त भेदों को मिटाने वाले हैं और सभी लोकों के एकमात्र अधिष्ठाता हैं। साधकों को ऐसे विष्णु की साधना करनी चाहिए। सनातन धर्म में परब्रह्म को तीन रूपों में विभक्त किया गया है। एक रूप है ब्रह्मा ,  जिन्हे इस समस्त संसार का शिल्पी कहा गया है ,  वही इस सृष्टि की रचना करते हैं। वहीँ दूसरा रूप है शिव का जो इस संसार के संघारक हैं। लेकिन ,  सृष्टि के सृजन से लेकर संघारक तक की यात्रा के बीच विष्णु बसे हैं ,  जो जगत के पालनहार हैं और सृष्टि के समस्त दुखों को हरते हैं और ब्रह्माण्ड का संचालन करते हैं। ...
