Shri Vamsidasa Babaji disappearance day On Janmashtami he was in Baleshvar, a town in North Orissa. At midnight he said to Gopal, “Last year I gave You some palmfruit. This year I shall give You some mango. Gopal, don’t be impatient, mango is coming to You.” Within ten minutes a brahmana teacher called Jogendra Mukherjee arrived, explaining how he had just dreamt that a sadhu wanted a mango, so he went to the market and bought one. That brahmana was then told, “Yes, yes, you come. He said he wanted a mango.” (From HH Bhakti Vikasa Swami’s book on SBSST.) Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura also received the blessings of Shrila Vamsidas Babaji Maharaja in Navadwip. Seeing Shrila Sarasvati Thakura, Shrila Varmsidasa Babaji Mahasaya would say, “Someone very close to my Gaura has come to me.” Vamsivat Babaji was a Gaudiya sadhu who lived at Swarupa Gunj during the time of Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati’s mission. He was respected by Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta, and he used to see to it that Vamsivat Babaji was provided with grains and so on by Gaudiya Matha brahmacaris, whom he’d send to Swarupa Gunj from the Yoga Pitha Mandir. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSdxSOeg0Pi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Top ten traditional delicacies one must try this makar sankranti

Makar sankranti is on 14th January, Sunday. This auspicious and pious day signifies to bid adieu to the freezing winters and welcome the pleasant spring. Makar sankranti is celebrated in reference to god sun (Surya) to mark the maiden day of transit of sun into Capricorn (makar), that is, end of month with winter solstice and beginning of long days. This day also marks the harvest time for the farmers, primarily for the crops of sesame and thus the dishes are included in the celebration. It is known by different names in different parts of India, for example, Uttarayan in Gujarat, Thai Pongal in Tamil Nadu, Bhogali Bihu in Assam, etc. Makar sankranti is celebrated with numerous social festivals, like, colorful decorations, singing community songs, kite flying, bathing in rivers, feasts, and preparing a huge number of delicious dishes whose hangover remains all year long. The dishes prepared in the Indian festivals have their individual aroma and significance, but the sankranti dishes have something special about them. The after taste developed after having a ladoo made of til is something kids wait for all year long. Sweets made using jiggery and sesame, pitha and halva, are among the highlighted specialties to watch for. We have come up with a list of best delicacies which you must try this year. Til ke ladoo Lovingly called til ke ladoo, it literally translates to the ladoo made up of sesame. It is a dish popular all over India and is a native of Bihar and Jharkhand, where it is called, Tilwa. There is a popular Marathi saying Til Gul ghya ani god god bol, which translates to English saying, “Eat Tilgul sweet and speak sweet as well”. This sweet is deep rooted in Indian culture. Since this is a season of sesame harvest, the most important sweet of it is made of it. Its preparation method includes roasting of sesame seeds, then mixing it with hot melted jiggery. This mixture, is then casted into small spheres known as ladoo. Fini Believed to have originated in the state of Rajasthan in the cultural town of Bikaner. Bikaner has been popular around the world for its trade mark cultural dishes and the most fantastic of all is Fini. It is made of pure ghee and flour, and comes in a wide variety of flavors. It is prepared by frying thoroughly rolled out flour dough all into ghee, which is then garnished along with roasted dry fruits and is served with sugar syrup and sweet milk. Here is a tip, don’t forget to try it on your next visit to Rajasthan. Ghevar This disc shaped dish, sweet in taste is also from a town Sonipat, in the state of Rajasthan and is traditionally associated with the festival of Teej, but is widely prepared and tested during the sankranti festival as well. Its recipe is pretty simple. When preparing the disc, milk batter and flour is poured in hot ghee and then cooked. The result is then dipped in syrup of sugar, garnished with dry fruits, and then served to all. It has many types, three of which are the most popular ones, Mawa, Malai, and the plain. Ghughute There is a unique way of celebrating the festival of makar sankranti in the Kumauni region of Uttarakhand.
