2015 Bilva Nimantran

Bilva Nimantran is done during Shashthi Tithi while it prevails during Sanyakal. Sometimes Shashthi ends before Sanyakal but prevails during Sanyakal on previous day i.e. on Panchami Tithi. If it happens then Sanyakal on Panchami Tithi is considered more suitable for doing Bilva Namantran.

Most people during Durga Puja take Shashthi Tithi for Kalparambha, Bodhon and Adhivas & Amantran irrespective of it prevailing during Sanyakal or not. According to religious texts combination of Sanyakal and Shashthi is the most appropriate time for Bilva Puja.

However, Navpatrika Pravesh is always done on Saptami Tithi even if Bilva Nimantran is done on Panchami due to non-availability of Sanyakal Shashthi on the next day.

The main rituals on the first day of Durga Puja, which mostly falls one day before Navpatrika Puja, are Kalparambha, Bodhon and Adhivas & Amantran.

Kalparambha is done early in the morning preferably during Pratahkal. Kalparambha rituals consists of installing the water filled Ghata or Kalash, offering worship to Goddess Durga and takingSankalpa, the firm determination to conduct the Puja ritualistically during the next three days namely Maha Saptami, Maha Ashtami and Maha Navami.

Bodhon which is also known as Akal Bodhon is performed during Sanyakal. Bodhon means awakening and as name implies Goddess Durga is symbolically awakened during this ritual. According to Hindu mythology all Gods and Goddesses go to sleep for six months during Dakshiyana. Because Durga Puja falls in the middle of this period, the Goddess Durga is first awakened before worshipping. The first awakening of Goddess Durga was done by Lord Rama who wanted to propitiate the Goddess before fighting ten headed Demon Ravana. Due to untimely awakening of Goddess Durga Bodhon ritual is also known as Akal Bodhon.

The ritual of Bodhon consists of installing a water filled Kalash or vessel at the base of Bilva tree. Bilva tree is also known as Bel tree whose leaves are the utmost sacrosanct for Shiva Pujan. During Bodhon prayers are offered to awaken Mother Durga.

Adhivas and Amantran rites are done after Bodhon. Invocation of Goddess Durga is known asAvahana (आवाहन) and symbolically installing Goddess Durga in Bilva after Avahana is known asAdhivas (अधिवास). Bilva tree is also sanctified before installing Goddess Durga into it during Adhivas rites.

After Adhivas, Goddess Durga is given invitation to accept the Navpatrika Puja on the next day. Inviting Goddess Durga ritualistically is known as Amantran (आमंत्रण).

Durga Puja 2015: A Five Day Visit By Devi Durga!

Durga Puja 2015 dates are ‘October 18 - October 23’. Durga Puja, also known as Sharadotsav is celebrated in Autumn. It marks the transcendance of Goddess Durga on earth for five holy days. Read below to know more as the Mother Goddess will be approaching us soon.

Durga Puja 2015: What Is Durga Puja?

Durga Puja 2015 dates are here.Durga Puja is one of the most awaited Hindu festivals. Hence, we have brought you each and every detail, you need to know about Durga Puja in 2015.
Durga Puja calls for the personification of Goddess Durga when she visits us for a period of five holy days. Durga Puja is the festival of joy and it turns into a carnival in West Bengal. Durga Puja, also known as Sharadotsav, is performed during the season of Autumn.
Durga Puja is celebrated in vivid forms in different parts of the country, but West Bengal remains the hub for Durga Puja celebration. Let’s know more about Durga Puja before we proceed to worship Goddess Durga in 2015.
Mahalaya heralds the coming of Goddess Durga on earth. On the day of Mahalaya, Goddess Durga is invited to transcend on earth. The festival of Durga Puja starts from Shashthi or the sixth day of the month of Ashvin. It ends with the immersion of Durga idols or Visarjan on Vijayadashami.
On Durga Puja, Goddess Durga is worshiped along with her four children - Ganesha, Kartikeya, Laxmi, and Saraswati. Lord Shiva is also given a special place during Durga Puja. The period of worship is also known as Devi Paksha or the fortnight of the goddess.
The time of celebration is also known as Akaal Bodhan. Durga Puja is celebrated in the autumnal phase of the year but, there is a contradiction to it. According to evidences in mythology, the Sharadotsav or Durga Puja of autumn season is the unconventional time to worship Goddess Durga.
Actually, Durga Puja is to be celebrated during the Chaitra month of Hindu Calendar , known as Basanti Durga Puja. Although, Sharadotsav has gained much more popularity and it has become the prime festival to invoke Goddess Durga’s blessings in India.
The commencement of Durga Puja corresponds with the sixth day of Navratri festival.
The festival of Durga Puja cannot be termed as a carnival of mere 5 days. It actually begins from the day of Mahalaya. To know more, let’s take a look at the dates of Durga Puja 2015 according to Hindu Calendar.
To understand Durga Puja in detail, read the legends associated with it.

Legends Of Durga Puja

Alike any other Hindu festival, Durga Puja has more than one legend associated with it. Let’s take a look at the legends of Durga Puja.
Mahishasura Mardaani And Durga Puja
The demon king, Mahishasura, had grown into a heinous power and started killing innocent people. In order to stop Mahishasura’s killing spree, Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshwara created the divine lady - Durga.
Durga was blessed with weapons from Devas or gods and a lion as her conveyance. She fought the Asura (Mahishasura) for nine long days. It was the tenth day, when Goddess Durga was finally able to conquer over the demon. Mahishasura was killed by Durga on Vijaya Dashami and she freed mankind, ultimately. Thus, she came to be known as Mahishasura Mardini after killing Mahishasura.
Owing to such a triumph of good over evil, Durga Puja is celebrated every year. Now, let’s take a look at the other legends of Durga Puja.
Lord Rama And Durga Puja
Durga Puja is also known as Akaal Bodhan, due to its association with the legend of Lord Rama. Before heading to the battle against Ravana, Rama worshipped Durga to be bestowed with her blessings.
According to traditions, the Puja required 108 lotuses, but unfortunately one lotus was missing. To compensate the missing lotus, Rama offered one of his eyes to Goddess Durga. This pleased Durga Devi and Rama was able to invoke her true blessings.
Lord Rama defeated Ravana on the day of Vijayadashami after a fight that lasted for nine days as he was blessed of being invincible.
Akaal Bodhan means the untimely period of worshipping Goddess Durga. The period of worship by Lord Rama is termed to be the unconventional time to invoke Goddess Durga. Hence, its name Akaal Bodhan is popular among a large fraction of regions.
To know more about the significance of the days of Durga Puja 2015, let’s take a look at how Durga Puja will be celebrated in 2015.

Durga Puja 2015: Durga Puja Preparations

Durga Puja or Durgotsav celebrates triumph of Goddess Durga over Mahishasura.Preparations for Durga Puja start months before the actual occurrence. Pandals or temporary stages are created for installation of the idols of deities. This is a great time for the artisans or idol crafters to showcase their creativity. Kumartuli in Kolkata is a famous place where artisans spend months to carve the ideal sculpture of Mahishasura Mardini.
Bengalis consider Durga Puja as the prime festival that is celebrated annually. People indulge themselves in shopping and prepare themselves for the ultimate festivity of Durga Puja. But before carving out the idols of Durga, there is another important ritual that is followed in Durga Puja.
Let’s take a look at the tradition that is to be followed in Durga Puja 2015 before beginning with the sculpting process.

Sex Workers And Durga Puja

Sex workers are given special regards during Durga Puja. It is a long carried tradition that the soil from the colonies of the sex workers are mixed with the clay particles. The collected clay particles are used to carve the idol of Goddess Durga. It is considered as a holy process. Now, let’s find out the reasons for doing so:
  1. This act would make them feel a part of the normalized society.
  2. This, in turn, also describes the soil inside the doorstep of the sex workers as impure. Hence, the soil particles are collected ahead of the exterior doorstep.
Be it any cause, the soil from the courtyards of the sex workers are considered virtuous. This practice is most prevalent in Nishiddho Pallis of Kolkata or the forbidden lanes of Kolkata. After the soil is collected, it is used by the artisans and utilized in their sculpting work.
Durga Puja 2015 is going to commence from Shashthi. But, the festive mood captures the mind of the devotees from the day of Mahalaya. But, what is Mahalaya?

Durga Puja 2015: Mahalaya

On Mahalaya, Mahishasura Mardini or Goddess Durga is invited to come down to earth. Mahalaya is observed a week before the festival of Durga Puja or Shashthi. Mahalaya has indeed become the first day of Durga Puja for the Bengalis. On the day of Mahalaya, people especially Bengalis wake up at dawn and tune their radios to listen to “Mahishasura Mardini”. Mahishasura Mardini Karyakrama is a radio show which has gained immense popularity since the golden era that depicts the journey from birth of Durga to the emergence of Mahishasura Mardini.
Till Shashthi, the air already attains the festive mood as the Durga Puja approaches. Durga Puja begins on Shashthi as Goddess Durga accepts the requests of the earthlings and descends on earth.

Durga Puja 2015: Shashthi

On the day of Shashthi, Mahishasura Mardini is welcomed, as she comes down on earth for a period of five days. Dhaks or leather instruments increase the fanfare of her arrival. Kalparamba Puja is performed which is later followed by Bodhan and Adivas.
On Shashthi, idols of Goddess Durga are installed in the worshipping place with special Pujas and customs.

Durga Puja 2015: Saptami

On Saptami, Goddess durga is worshiped along with nine types of plants. On Saptami or the second day of Durga Puja, Kalabou or banana plant is provided with a holy bath before the arrival of dawn. The nine forms of plants that are worshiped on Saptami refers to the nine forms of Goddess Durga. They are also known as Nabapatrika, which is also observed as a festival by the peasants, wishing for better harvest in the upcoming harvest season.

Durga Puja 2015: Ashtami

Pushpanjali is the main feature on the day of Ashtami. It is also known as Mahashtami. The day commences with the chanting of Sanskrit recitals followed by Pushpanjali. Ashtami is regarded as the most important day of the festival of Durga Puja. In some regions, Kumari Puja is held where young, unmarried girls are worshiped as the mother Goddess. The day ends with Sandhi Puja in the evening. Sandhi Puja is followed by evening Aarti.

Durga Puja 2015: Navami

Sandhi Puja declares the beginning of Navami. On Navami, Bhog (sacred food offering) is prepared for the Mahishasura Mardini. This is later distributed among the devotees as Prasad. Dhunuchi dance is a prime feature that takes place on the day of Navami. The Dhunuchi dance adds more festivity to the air in Durga Puja. The next day is Vijaya Dashami or Vijayadashami.

Durga Puja 2015: Vijaya Dashami

Sindur Khela will be played on Dashami of Durga Puja in 2015.This is the day when the turn for bidding a farewell to Mahishasura Mardini (Durga Devi) arrives. Sindoor Khela or vermilion act is performed on Vijaya Dashami, where married women smear vermilion on each other’s face. A grand farewell is expected as Goddess Durga is on her way to return to heaven.
On Vijaya Dashami, idols of Durga are immersed in the rivers or lakes. This event is known as Durga Visarjan. This marks the end of Durga Puja with crying ambience all around. Devotees cheer during Visarjan “ Asche bochor abar hobe” which states that there will always be the next year as Goddess Durga will transcend again.
Durga Puja is more than just five days of religious worship, where Goddess Durga or Mahishasura Mardini, is paid ritual regards. It is a frolic carnival in the state of West Bengal and for the Bengalis outside. During these five days, Pandals are created around Kolkata and other sub-urban regions of West Bengal.
Durga Puja is widely celebrated in parts of Delhi as well. In places outside Bengal, people from the Bengali community indulge themselves into an ambient get-together process. Goddess Durga is also worshiped in parts of North India and western parts of India, but it’s West Bengal where the festival of Durga Puja is celebrated with such enthusiasm.
Talking about Pandals, theme-based Pandals have gained enormous popularity in the modern era in Bengal. In theme-based decorations, Pandals are crafted according to existing or pre-existing trends in the society.
Durga Puja becomes the ground for casual gatherings such as Adda, where people gather around to enroll themselves in casual but interesting topics. This is a common trend in the streets of Bengal. Durga Puja in 2015, is all set to bring together the Bengalis once again. In Durga Puja 2015, people adorn themselves to welcome Goddess Durga on earth once again, after a mournful year of divine separation.
MyKundali wishes you all Happy Durga Puja 2015!




Holi The Festival Of Colors, Photo Essay



1 Votes

Holi in India heralds the  arrival of Spring.
It is also believed  to  be  day when Prahlada the son of Hiranyakasipu was saved from Fire where his father made for him by Lord Vishnu.
The Day is celebrated with people spraying colors on each other.
The Ritual.

Ritual time

Holi fire in front of Jagdish Temple in Udaipur, Rajasthan, 2010
Dharma Sindhu and Nirnaya Sindhu, Sanskrit texts of festive rituals and dharma shastras says morning of holi should be spent joyfully by playing with cows and calves; Holika dahan should be performed after evening.
Having constructed a platform hallowed with ‘Go Maya’ (cow dung) one should arrange a stack of sticks with Agni and perform Holika Puja with the ‘Sankalpa’ and ‘Aavaahana’ of
“Sakutumbasya mama Dhundhaa Rakshasi preetyartham tatpeedaa parihaa –raartham Holikaa pujanam karishye/ —Asmaadbhirbhayasantrastaih krutaatwam Holikeyatah, Atastwaam Pujayishyaami bhutabhuti pradaabhava!” (As were afraid of you Holika Devi! we seek your compassion and thus are resorting to shodashopachaaraas to you. Do kindly show us fearlessness and prosperity!)
The mantras addressing Holika Devi state that the ten days from Panchami and Purnima are quite propitious and during these days even stealing of ‘Indhana’ or fire-wood ignored to celebrate Holi fire on the Purnima Day when throwing of water, smearing on other’s faces with colours and using of indecent language etc., are ignored as gestures of friendship especially with neighbours and friendship circles; there would be group singing, dances and exravaganza of merriment all through the day and night. This is how the Raakshasi Holika would be satisfied.
Next morning, a Chandaala is touched before taking bath and after carrying out nitya karmaas, Holika Devi be greeted and take up one’s own duties so that the year ahead would be devoid of diseases, difficulties and mental problems.(wiki).

Navarathri is celebrated five times a year. They are Vasanta Navaratri, Ashadha Navaratri, the Sharada Navaratri, and the Paush/Magha Navaratri. Of these, the Sharada Navaratri of the month of Puratashi and the Vasanta Navaratri of the Vasanta kala are very important.
1. Vasanta Navaratri: Basanta Navaratri, also known as Vasant Navaratri, is the festival of nine days dedicated to the nine forms of Shakti (Mother Goddess) in the spring season (March–April). It is also known as Chaitra Navaratri. The nine days of festival is also known as Raama Navratri.

3. Sharada Navaratri: This is the most important of the Navaratris. It is simply called Maha Navaratri (the Great Navratri) and is celebrated in the month of Ashvina. Also known as Sharad Navaratri, as it is celebrated during Sharad (beginning of winter, September–October).
4. Paush Navaratri: Paush Navaratri is nine days dedicated to the nine forms of Shakti (Mother Goddess) in the month of Paush (December–January). Paush Navaratri is observed during the Paush Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of moon).

  • Bhadrakali
  • Amba or Jagadamba, Mother of the universe
  • Annapoorna devi, The one who bestows grains (anna) in plenty (purna: used as subjective)
  • Sarvamangala, The one who gives joy (mangal) to all (sarva)
  • Bhairavi
  • Chandika or Chandi
  • Lalita
  • Bhavani
  • Mookambika.

  • First three days

    The goddess is separated as a spiritual force called Durga also known as Kali in order to destroy all our impurities.

  • Second three days

    The Mother is adored as a giver of spiritual wealth, Lakshmi, who is considered to have the power of bestowing on her devotees inexhaustible wealth, as she is the goddess of wealth.

    Final three days

    The final set of three days is spent in worshiping the goddess of wisdom, Saraswati.
    In order to have all-round success in life, believers seek the blessings of all three aspects of the divine femininity, hence the nine nights of worship.
    Kolu-Golu
    Golu.jpg.
    Golu .
    During the festival of Navratri in South India, it is customary in the states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, as well as in some Tamil communities within Sri Lanka, to display a “Kolu” (also Golu, or Bombe Habba or Bommai Kolu or Bommala Koluvu). This is an exhibition of various dolls and figurines in odd (usually 7, 9, or 11) numbered tiers (“padis”).
    When people come to a person’s house to see the Kolu, usually they are given prasad (the offering given to God that day), kumkum and a small bag of gifts. These are only given to girls and married women. In the evenings, a “kuthuvilakku” (small lamp) is lit, in the middle of a decorated “kolam”(Rangoli), before the Kolu and devotional hymns and shlokas are chanted. After performing the puja, the food items that have been prepared are offered to the goddesses.
    Kolu is adorned with dolls – predominantly with that of the gods and goddesses depicting mythology. It is a traditional practice to have at least some wooden dolls. There should also be a figurine of a boy and a girl together called ‘Marapacchi’ Bommai.[1] Some photos taken during Kolu of Navratri 2007 & 2010 are displayed at a home situated at Nerul, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India & at a home in Walldorf, Germany respectively are shown below. On the 9th day (Saraswati Puja), special pujas are offered to Goddess Saraswati – the divine source of wisdom and enlightenment. Books and musical instruments are placed in the puja and worshipped as a source of knowledge. Also, tools are placed in the pooja as part of “Ayudha Pooja”. Vehicles are washed and decorated, and puja is performed for them.
    The 10th day, “Vijayadasami” – is the most auspicious day of all. It was the day on which evil was finally destroyed by good. It marks a new and prosperous beginning. New ventures started on this day are believed to flourish and bring prosperity. Kids often start tutoring on this day to have a head start in their education.
    In the evening of “Vijayadasami”, any one doll from the “Kolu” is symbolically put to sleep and the Kalasam is moved a bit towards North to mark the end of that year’s Navaratri Kolu. Prayers are offered to thank God for the successful completion of that year’s Kolu and with a hope of a successful one the next year. Then the Kolu is dismantled and packed up for the next year.
