Suryakshetra -119 (Are we
aware of our calendar now?)
Knowingly or otherwise, most of us have become
victims of – on going trends. Surely – everyone
has to admit that we have very rich culture and tradition. For whatever reason it is, most
unfortunately, we make our children to forget our traditions and culture – and
THIS GENERATION AROUND THE AGE OF 30-50 ARE MOSTLY responsible for this
undesirable trend. Ask anyone in the
family – from the father to the five year child about their birth date – surely
we get an answer like 13th January this year or some such date. Remember it is not according to our
traditional Hindu calendar, it is purely on Christian Calendar. I am not against the convenience of the
world, I am surely against the trend of
forgetting homeland culture and traditions and surrendering to western culture.
We have been following a calendar since thousands
of years, which gives us the lunar, sun as well star position on each day, Name
of the year, the section of the year, The ritu or the season of the period, the
month with its name, the bright or the dark fortnight, the star position, the
Lunar Position basing on the Tithi, the name of the day and so on. In one word, we would come to know lot many
things. In the Christian era, we do not
find all this excepting the day, date, month and year.
We should make our children know our calendar and
each of us should know at least details regarding birth date as per HINDU
CALENDAR. Secondly Hindu system does not
allow “putting off” the lights; we believe in PUTTING UP LAMPS and we celebrate
Diwali worshiping lamps. Putting Off the
lamps is considered to be quite inauspicious in this country. Incidentally,
children ARE ALLOWED to put off lights while cutting cakes. HINDUS, worship
birth day – like Mahaveer Jayanthi, Gurunaanak Jayanthi, Datta Jayanthi, Vamana
Jayanthi etc. Hindus love the BIRTH DATE
of these great personalities as per HINDU CALENDAR, and there is no system in
Hinduism to worship any one on the day of their death. We love to keep great personalities forever
in our memories and keep THEM always alive – amidst us. LET US HELP OURSELVES AND
OUR CHILDREN TO RESPECT HINDU CALENDER ATLEAST FROM NOW ON, LET US CELEBRATE
BIRTH DAY ONLY BASING ON THIS. Let us not PUT OFF lights and let us not put an
end to the knowledge base of our children. Let us
educate our children from now on. MERA BHARAT MAHAAN.
