HAPPY GANESH CHATURTHI, 2021

          GANESH CHATURTHI





Edit: This is in addition to my previous year's blog post.
This year Ganesh Chaturthi falls on the 22nd of August. Specially in this period of COVID-19 pandemic, we should not indulge in large gatherings outside for Ganesh Puja. 
Wishing you all a happy Ganesh Chaturthi, 2020.












HAPPY VINAYAK CHATURTHI

     
HAPPY GANESH CHATURTHI







                                                    





Basically, it's a Hindu festival. 
It's also known as Vinayak Chaturthi. Because, Vinayak is the other name for Ganesh.
Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesh, who's considered by Hindus as God of wisdom and success. Lord Ganesha is the son of Shiva and Parvati.


 He's also called Vighnaharta or Vignavinashak, meaning remover of all obstacles. Though the festival is celebrated all over India. But, specially, in the state of Maharashtra, it is fervently celebrated and with exceptional zeal. It can last up to ten days. People celebrate the birth of Lord Ganesh both as a private affair in houses as well as public  affair in community places. Large pandals are erected and clay idols are installed inside. The clay idols are decorated with garlands and the whole area is decorated nicely. A Brahmin priest conducts all the rituals related to Puja. Slokas are chanted. People make offerings and perform worship.
Lord Ganesha is the God of good omen and his consent is mandatory for starting any thing new, whether in business or life.
He's considered as remover of all the problems and creator of happiness in the life of people. People in India always seek the blessings of Ganesha before starting any new work. He's the lovely God for all children. Children call him Chhota Ganesh or friend Ganesh,as He cares and loves children.
HAPPY GANESH PUJA


OM GANESHAYA NAMAH

71st Republic Day, India ଭାରତୀୟ ଗଣତନ୍ତ୍ର ଦିବସ

                  71st Republic Day  As we know, India became free from British rule on 15th August, 1947. But its constitution came into effect from 26th January 1950.  It clearly declared India as a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic (as strictly against monarchy or dictatorship of any single person/ king/ dictator). After all, it's rule of the people,  by the people and for the people.  Hence, every year ,26th January is celebrated as the Republic Day of India, whereas Independence Day is celebrated on 15th August.  On Republic Day, flag hoisting ceremonies and parades by armed forces and school children are held in different parts of the country.  However,  the grand parade is held at Rajpath, New Delhi,  which showcases the country's rich cultural heritage and military prowess. This parade is presided over by the President of India, whereas, on the occ...

"Deepavali" - What, when and how? ଦୀପାବଳି ଉତ୍ସବ ପାଳନ

                                                           DEEPAVALI/DIWALI What, when and how? Do you know, what is a 'deep'? It means a 'diya' or an earthen lamp. 'Deepavali' is the plural form of 'deep' or it refers to a collection of 'deeps'/'diyas'/earthen lamps. On 'Amavasya' or no moon light, people of 'Ayodhya Nagari' celebrated the victory of Lord Ram over the demon king Ravana and welcomed Ram to their own city after 14 years' exile in the forest. People were so exited, that they lit lamps/diyas/deepavali (a collection of earthen lamps) and decorated them everywhere to remove darkness and spread light. There were no electricity at that time. So from this day onwards, 'Diwali' or 'Deepavali' is celebrated every year. India is known for its tremendous festivals and their celebrations with great fervor. Time has now ...
