#Shubho Mahalaya

[vizthedatum]

Shubho Mahalaya! Today is the day before Navratri. (It also coincides with other holidays like Rosh Hashanah tomorrow)

Today, we pray to our loved ones and prepare to welcome the Goddess (Navratri and Durga Puja celebrate Durga’s triumph over evil on Earth). That's just the simplified version.

This period is very special to me and to other Bengali Hindus (and indeed to other Hindus) every year.

It has been a time of introspection and a chance to reset and reexamine my values.

The world is in chaos (or maybe it always has been?), and I want to pray for better times.

It can be really uncomfortable to welcome uncertainty, but I am learning to be accustomed to it and understand that (in the spirit of this holiday and so many others) we can keep trying to come together to co-create a better world. The trying and persevering matter, even if it's just for ourselves.

Hey fellow Bangalis!

Today is one of the most important days of the year for a bengali: mahalaya. Later today starts দেবী পক্ষ, and the holy fortnight (the 14 days of durga puja). But. Today is also the end of পিতৃ পক্ষ. Today is the day of tarpan (recalling late ancestors, essentially). As someone who has lost a lot of people (including all 4 of my grandparents) today is not the happiest day. Don't get me wrong, I love durga puja. But this day is usually a lot of reminiscing (especially during the mahishashur mardini sangit bidhi in the wee hours of the morning) and quite a bit of mourning.

Sorry for saying all that. What I mean is, mahalaya wasn't, historically, supposed to be a very happy occasion. And I have been painfully aware of this my whole life. So, I get a little sad when people wish me 'shubho mahalaya'.

The real happiness starts from tomorrow.

I just wanted to put this out there.

Today's holiday doesn't feel real, I feel so ecstatic, so overjoyed, so excited. Generally holidays are pretty boring for me, but today has got a different vibe istg. Durga Puja has got an entire vibe of itself man.

I had to post this, I couldn't resist myself, being a "Khaati Bangali" (pure Bengali).

Shubho Mahalaya y'all <33. Dugga Maa elen aaj ei paach din aamader aanonde bhoriye dite (Maa Durga arrived today to fill us with happiness for these 5 days)

Pujo eshe geche <3 (Pujo has come)
