Importance of Chhath Puja

The fast of Chhath Puja is associated for the happiness and prosperity of the family and the family. The main purpose of this fast is to wish for the health of all the family members including husband, wife, son, grandson. The practice of Chhath also provides mental peace. Regular pranic flow of air during Chhath helps in reducing anger, jealousy and other negative emotions.

There are many famous folk festivals of sun worship in our country which are celebrated in different provinces with different customs. In many other foreign islands including Mauritius, Trinidad, Sumatra, Java, people of Indian origin also celebrate Chhath festival with great faith and pomp.

“This festival is a day to show gratitude to the sun. Sun is an integral part of our life. Sun is the basis of our existence. In this it is necessary to offer Arghya to the sun, that is, looking at the sun, and this can be done only in the morning or evening. Now the question arises, for how long do we need to see the sun? You hold water in your hands and the water slowly drains out of the fingers, till then the sun is seen. Looking at the sun provides energy to your body. Therefore, the puja is mainly performed to express gratitude to the sun.

History of Chhath Puja | Story of Chhath Puja | Chhath Puja story behind it in English | Story of Chhath Puja in English

It is believed that the celebration of Chhath Puja is clearly mentioned in the ancient Vedas, as the rituals performed during the puja are similar to those described in the Rigveda, in which the Sun is worshipped. At that time, the rishis were also known to worship the sun and get their energy directly from the sun without consuming good food.

It is said that following the advice of the great sage Dhaumya during the Mahabharata period, Draupadi resorted to Chhath Puja to relieve the Pandavas from hardship. Through this ritual, she was able to solve not only immediate problems, but later, the Pandavas regained their kingdom in Hastinapur (present day Delhi). It is said that Karna, the son of Surya (Suraj), who fought against the Pandavas in the great battle of Kurukshetra, also performed Chhath rituals. Another importance of worship is also attached to the story of Lord Rama. According to ancient texts, Rama and his wife Sita had fasted and prayed to the Sun God in the month of Kartika in the Shukla Paksha after 14 years of exile. Since then, Chhath Puja has become an important and traditional Hindu festival, which is celebrated with enthusiasm every year.

There is also a popular belief that worshiping the Sun God also eliminates diseases like leprosy and ensures longevity and prosperity of the family. It is done with strict discipline, purity and highest respect. And once a family starts Chhat Puja, it becomes their duty to pass on the traditions to the generations.

They perform their duty by crossing many rivers in dry areas, facing the monsoon season and facing many more challenges. So, their wives pray to God for the safety, longevity and well being of their husbands.

Women fast for the whole day without eating food and without drinking even a drop of water for the safety of their husband wherever they are on their mission away from their home. This festival occurs during the sowing of wheat i.e. at the beginning of the Rabi crop cycle. A woman worships a large earthen pot (karva) filled with wheat grains and prays to the god for a good harvest in this season especially in wheat-eating regions.

RATH YATRA FESTIVEL

A observe the numerous stories associated with its origins throws light on the emotions underlying the competition:

Kamsa, the maternal uncle of Lord Krishna, invited Krishna and Balram to Mathura with the malicious aim of killing them. The evil Kamsa sent akrur with a chariot to Gokul. Lord Krishna and Balram climbed onto the chariot with akrur, taking go away of the gopis to proceed to Mathura. At the moment of departure is widely known by way of the devotees as rath yatra.

Jubilant devotees celebrated the day when Lord Krishna, having vanquished the evil Kamsa, gave them darshan in Mathura in a chariot along with his brother, Balaram.

Devotees in dwarika celebrated the day when lord krishna, followed via balaram, took subhadra - his sister, for a trip on a chariot to expose the town's beauty.

Once in Dwarka, lord Krishna's 8 queens requested mother rohini to relate the divine episodes of Lord Krishna with the gopis whilst he becomes in vraj. For a while rohini dithered. In the end, after a whole lot of insistence she relented. But, considering it unbecoming of Subhadra to listen to such episodes (leela), she sent her to shield the palace doorway. Yet the vrajkatha quickly absorbed Subhadra. Soon, lord shri krishna and Balaram arrived at the doorway. With arms wide apart, she stood among the 2, preventing them from entering. But, from in which they stood, Rohini's Katha quickly engrossed all of them! Simply then sage narad arrived. Seeing the siblings standing collectively like murtis, he humbly prayed, "might also the three of you grant darshan on this manner for all time." the Lord granted the boon. And the three forever live in the Jagannath mandir in puri.

There is an thrilling tale of lord krishna becoming the sarathi - motive force of arjuna's chariot, throughout the eighteen-day warfare of the mahabharat.

Ultimately, a tale which has been exceeded on from mouth to mouth, concerns about what passed off after the cremation of lord krishna's mortal body.

When shri Krishna become being cremated in dwarika, balaram, overcome with grief, dashed into the ocean with shri krishna's partially cremated frame. Subhadra too, followed each the brothers. On the identical time, on the jap shore of india, king indradyumna of jagannath puri had a dream that the lord's body would drift as much as the beaches of puri. He must build a huge mandir in the city and consecrate the wood murtis of shri krishna, balaram and subhadra. The bones (asthi) of lord krishna's body should be positioned inside the hole in the again of the murti. The dream got here proper. He observed the splinters of bone (asthi) and took them. However the question changed into who would carve the murtis. It's far said that the architect of the gods - vishwakarma - arrived as an vintage chippie. He stipulated that even as carving the murtis no one ought to disturb him and if every body did, he would prevent work and go away. Driven with eagerness, indradyumna opened the entryway of Vishwakarma's room, who disappeared quickly as he had specified. Regardless of the fragmented murtis, the ruler blessed them, putting the heavenly soot of Lord Krishna inside the empty of the murti and mounted them inside the mandir. The floats are pulled by devotees from janakpur to the mandir in jagannath puri. The murtis are modified each twelve years, the new ones being incomplete too.

The jagannath mandir in jagannath puri is one of the four maximum sacred mandirs within the 4 instructions of the indian sub - continent. The other 3 are: rameshwar in south, dwarka in west and badrinath inside the himalayas. Probably the mandir in jagannath puri is the best mandir within the world housing murtis of 3 deities who're siblings - lord krishna, balaram and subhadra.

There are numerous raths stated inside the hindu scriptures:

Katha upanishad (1/three/three-4) - the body rath

Yama, the lord of hell reveals to young natchiketa the rath with which you will achieve brahma-vidya - understanding of brahman.

Shloka:

Atmanam rathinam viddhi shareeram rathameva tu,

Buddhim tu sarathim viddhi manaha pragrahameva tu.

Indriyani hayanyahur vishayansteshu gocharan,

(translation):

The atman is rathi - owner of the `chariot' - the frame,

The mind is the sarathi - motive force,

The thoughts is the rein,

The senses are the horses, and

The panch vishayas - fabric objects of the five senses - are

The fields of pasture for the horses.

I.E. The person whose sarathi - intellect - is sensible, whose thoughts completely controls the senses, can traverse samsara to attain the preferred goal - the lord's dwelling house.

Ramayana - the samsara rath

Lord ramachandra describes his chariot to vibhishan, with which he is continually positive:

Courage and tenacity are its wheels,

Immutable truth and character are its flags,

Strength, discrimination, self-control and charity are its horses,

Forgiveness, mercy and equanimity are the reins, and

Devotion to the lord is its sarathi.

With any such chariot you will definitely traverse samsara.

Mahabharat- the life rath

Shri krishna becomes his devotee, arjun's sarathi, leading him and the pandavas to victory.

Shri krishna says inside the gita (18/78) that, wherein there may be krishna and arjuna, there is wealth, victory, electricity and immutable morality. This turned into borne out at some stage in the war while the effective warrior bhishma vowed to kill arjuna on the tenth day. Lord krishna anxiously searched for arjuna and discovered him asleep. Bewildered, lord krishna asked him how he should sleep with the sort of pledge looming over his life. To his astonishment arjuna responded, "due to the fact you're conscious!"

The remaining essence of the chariot stories is that the jiva need to unwarrantedly surrender to the splendid sarathi - god or the god-realised sadhu, if he needs to efficaciously traverse the yatra of life,
