अष्टमी रोहिणी, जिसे कृष्ण जन्माष्टमी के नाम से भी जाना जाता है, एक महत्वपूर्ण हिंदू त्योहार है जो भगवान कृष्ण के जन्म का जश्न मनाता है, जिन्हें हिंदू धर्म में सबसे प्रिय और पूजनीय देवताओं में से एक माना जाता है। यह त्योहार आम तौर पर हिंदू महीने भाद्रपद में कृष्ण पक्ष (चंद्रमा के घटते चरण) के आठवें दिन (अष्टमी) को पड़ता है, जो आमतौर पर ग्रेगोरियन कैलेंडर में अगस्त या सितंबर से मेल खाता है।

यहां अष्टमी रोहिणी से जुड़े कुछ प्रमुख पहलू और परंपराएं दी गई हैं:

भगवान कृष्ण का जन्म: अष्टमी रोहिणी मथुरा शहर में भगवान कृष्ण के चमत्कारी जन्म की याद दिलाती है। हिंदू पौराणिक कथाओं के अनुसार, भगवान कृष्ण का जन्म देवकी और वासुदेव के यहां जेल की कोठरी में हुआ था, और उनका जन्म कई दिव्य घटनाओं और खगोलीय घटनाओं के साथ हुआ था।

आधी रात का उत्सव: माना जाता है कि भगवान कृष्ण का जन्म आधी रात को हुआ था। इसलिए, भक्त इसी क्षण एक भव्य उत्सव और पूजा करते हैं। मंदिरों और घरों को फूलों, रोशनी और भगवान कृष्ण की मूर्तियों से सजाया जाता है।

उपवास और भक्ति: कई हिंदू आधी रात तक दिन भर का उपवास रखते हैं, जिसे भगवान कृष्ण के जन्म के बाद तोड़ा जाता है। भक्त भजन (भक्ति गीत) गाते हैं, प्रार्थनाएँ करते हैं, और भगवान कृष्ण के जीवन और चमत्कारों के बारे में कहानी सुनाने में संलग्न होते हैं।

दही हांडी: भारत के कुछ हिस्सों में, विशेष रूप से महाराष्ट्र में, एक लोकप्रिय परंपरा देखी जाती है जिसे "दही हांडी" के नाम से जाना जाता है। इसमें दही या मक्खन से भरे बर्तन तक पहुंचने और उसे तोड़ने के लिए मानव पिरामिड बनाना शामिल है, जो भगवान कृष्ण की चंचल प्रकृति का प्रतीक है, जो एक बच्चे के रूप में मक्खन चुराने के लिए जाने जाते थे।

झाँकियाँ और जुलूस: भगवान कृष्ण के जीवन के दृश्यों को दर्शाने वाली विस्तृत झाँकियाँ (झाँकियाँ) बनाई जाती हैं और मंदिरों और सार्वजनिक स्थानों पर प्रदर्शित की जाती हैं। भगवान कृष्ण की मूर्तियों के साथ जुलूस सड़कों पर निकाले जाते हैं, और भक्त अक्सर उनके जीवन के पात्रों के रूप में तैयार होते हैं।

मिठाइयाँ और प्रसाद: भगवान कृष्ण को प्रसाद के रूप में विशेष व्यंजन और मिठाइयाँ, जैसे मक्खन, दूध, और माखन मिश्री (गाढ़े दूध से बनी मिठाई) तैयार की जाती हैं। भक्त इन प्रसादम (धन्य भोजन) को परिवार और दोस्तों के साथ साझा करते हैं।

आध्यात्मिक शिक्षाएँ: अष्टमी रोहिणी भगवद गीता में वर्णित भगवान कृष्ण की शिक्षाओं को प्रतिबिंबित करने का एक अवसर है, जहाँ वे कुरुक्षेत्र के युद्ध के मैदान में अर्जुन को आध्यात्मिक ज्ञान और मार्गदर्शन प्रदान करते हैं।

सांस्कृतिक प्रदर्शन: उत्सव के हिस्से के रूप में भारत के विभिन्न हिस्सों में भगवान कृष्ण के जीवन पर आधारित पारंपरिक नृत्य और नाटक सहित कई सांस्कृतिक प्रदर्शन आयोजित किए जाते हैं।

अष्टमी रोहिणी न केवल एक धार्मिक उत्सव है बल्कि हिंदुओं के लिए बहुत खुशी, भक्ति और आध्यात्मिक चिंतन का समय भी है। यह लोगों को भगवान कृष्ण की दिव्य उपस्थिति का जश्न मनाने और प्रेम, ज्ञान और धार्मिकता से भरे जीवन के लिए उनका आशीर्वाद लेने के लिए एक साथ लात�� है।

What Is Beauty?

for me, beauty means my Radha Rani & Sri Krishna 💛💙. in a world where people are judged on the basis of some "ideal" beauty standards...

...असली सुंदरता दिल में है. यदि आपका हृदय शुद्ध है, तो आप निस्संदेह सुंदर हैं। जब कोई राधा कृष्ण की अलौकिक सुंदरता से आकर्षित होता है और उनसे प्रेम करना शुरू कर देता है, तो वह भौतिक सुंदरता से आकर्षित नहीं होता है। राधा रानी और श्रीकृष्ण हमें यही सिखाते हैं।

(translation — real beauty is in the heart. if your heart is pure, then you are undoubtedly beautiful. when one is attracted by the transcendental beauty of Radha Krishna and starts loving them, they are no longer attracted by materialistic beauty. this is what Radha Rani and Sri Krishna teach us.)

Radhe Radhe ♡

"Born to embody perfection, Trilok Sundari, Goddess Radha is the epitome of divine beauty, unconditional love, and captivating charm.

Her mesmerizing aura is soothing and tranquil, filling the hearts of devotees with serenity and joy. As we celebrate Radha Ashtami, we honor the eternal essence of Radha, whose love for Krishna is a beacon of devotion, inspiring us to embrace the beauty of selfless love, compassion, and spiritual growth.

May her divine presence illuminate our lives, guiding us towards the path of love, light, and harmony."

In the early hours of the morning, a 15 year old girl trudged out to the living room, pillow in hand, before light had even broken out over the horizon. It was 4:00 a.m. but the room was charged with a fervent sort of energy, a giddiness that finaly peaked when Birendra Krishna Bhadra's sonorous voice rang out with the first words- "আশ্বিনের শারদপ্রাতে". 

It was মহালয়া- the beginning of 'দেবীপক্ষ'. I do not think that any words, except the ones privately spoken by each Bengali to Ma, of his wishes and woes, hopes and sorrows in silent prayers between the chants during Ashtami's Anjali, can convey the feeling in his heart as one by one, all the houses are filled with 'আগমনীর গান' while the sun slowly creeps into sight like a sleepy child unable to stay away from the excitement of all his aunts, uncles and older cousins huddled outside infront of the radio with tumblers full of steaming, milky tea.

There is a certain quiet beauty in the knowledge that every year since 1931 when the show first aired, Bengalis within Kolkata and without have been dutifully waking up at 4 o'clock to welome our Maa home. A five year old girl rubs her drowsy eyes infront of the radio as she hears the voice she will learn to eagerly wait for throughout the year when she grows older, for the first time. Lying propped up on the cushions in her hospital bed, much to the protest of her nurses, her great grandmother ruefully smiles when she realises that it would be her last time, and for a glorious hour and a half, the pain of the cancer in her liver bows down to মহিষাসুরমর্দিনী. A large joint family gathers in front of the antique record player, with endless cups of tea and aluminium tins of biscuits under the arches of their ancestral home in North Calcutta, where only a few days later, they would welcome their very own Ma Durga. In the servants' quarters, the 'rannar thakur' sits on the front steps of his tin roofed home with his thin daughter and thinner wife, and his stomach's grumbles of hunger are drowned out by the music carrying from the record player. A Muslim boy, not daring to tell his orthodox father, cycles to his Hindu classmate's house before the sun rises to catch the first strains of Aagomoni. For মহালয়া does not merely mark the coming of Ma, it marks the advent of hope in the form of our ten-armed Goddess for every Bengali, irrespective of his age, social standing or religion. Even if it may be just an old recording playing from some houses on the streets, to me and to any Bengali, it seems more like on one magical day every year, all the clouds in the sky strike up a wonderful heavenly orchestra of voices, filling all the empty spaces in the sky, till Ma Durga herself comes to fill up the place waiting for her on the mandaps and in our hearts.

The Month of Shravan and its Significance

Today is Shravana Krishna Ashtami, the eleventh day of Shravana masam (month). The month of Shravan is the fourth month in the Hindu calendar and falls in the western months of August and September. This month has a lot of spiritual significance and is considered auspicious for Hindus for many reasons.

Samudra Manthan

According to the Puranas (holy texts), it was during this month that the Devathas (Gods) and Asuras (demons) churned the ocean in search of amrit (nectar). Although the churning of the ocean gave them the amrit, it also gave them poison. Because the Devathas did not know what to do with the poison, they went to Lord Shiva for help. Lor Shiva swallowed the poison and stored it in his throat which for which he got the name, Neelkant (blue throat). This is why Shravana masam is important for the devotees of Lord Shiva.

Sola Somvaar Vrat

The Sola Somvaar Vrat is another reason why Shravana masam is important for the devotees of Lord Shiva. Those who want to do the Sola Somvaar Vrat (16 Mondays) usually start on the first Monday of Shravana masam and complete it on the last Monday Karthika masam. This vrat is mostly observed by unmarried women who want to be married to the man of their dreams. But married women can observe this vrat, too, for better health or fulfilment of their wishes. For this vrat, women fast all morning and afternoon and break it in the evening after doing pooja for Lord Shiva.

Mangala Gauri

The Mangala Gauri Vratham (pooja) is performed by married women for health, prosperity, and the long life of their husband. It is also performed for a happy married life. This vratham is only performed in Shravana masam on Tuesdays. After the pooja, a minimum of 5 married women are invited home for Haldi and Kumkum. The traditions for this pooja vary based on each family.

Varalakshmi Vratham

In South India, Varalakshmi Vratham (pooja) is performed by married women on the Friday before Poornima (full moon). Vara Maha Lakshmi or Varalakshmi is the Goddess of wealth and prosperity. Women perform this pooja every year for the blessings of the Goddess on them, their husband, and children.

Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan is day that is celebrated all across India to honor the pure bond between brother and sister. On the day of Raksha Bandhan, the sister ties a rakhi on her brother’s wrist, the brother presents her with a gift, and they both promise to protect each other no matter what the circumstances.

Krishna Janmashtami

Shravana Krishna Ashtami, according to the Puranas, is the day Lord Krishna was born. Other names for this day are Krishnashtami, Krishna Janmashtami, or Janmashtami. On this day, Hindu families decorate their home with rangoli and make food the Lord Krishna likes.

[puriwaves]
