Haritalika Teej

The day when he will be mine as he will come to take me in a decorated chariot (Doli).

उसकै नामको सिन्दुरपोते दिन आउँछ अरे

रातो डोली सजाएर लिन आँउछ अरे

Above lines are the line of a song that depicts the feeling of a woman and her excitement followed by her love for her beloved husband. Let me begin, the entire creation and mankind are based upon the love and attachment between a man and woman, Sanatana philosophy frequently acknowledges this love and attachment with its several festivals, commemorations, and relevance.

Ladies in red

Ladies in red are seen dancing and smiling everywhere, they celebrate the love, compassion and their family hood, there are so many stages today and so many songs, let every song and each dancing moves prosper love.

Teej from scriptures

For the protection of the husband and the family, it seems as if God Himself falls to the ground for the unwavering good fortune of the women who are fasting today and for the smiles. Today, heartfelt adoration of faith and tradition is practiced. Today, we would like to modify the practice of fasting and waterless fasting and advise to fast easily and simply in a way that suits our health. After Parvati fasted for Teej intending to get Shivaji as a bridegroom, there is a belief that Teej has become popular. Today, Shiva temples and shrines have a special crowd of pilgrims. The prehistoric Pashupatinath temple complex is adorned with red, cheerful, enthusiastic married and unmarried women.

Adding to Teej's vibrancy are Teej's folk songs and original music. Every year hundreds of new Teej anthems come and go with different musical signatures in Teej's enthusiasm. Whether it is a song played on a loudspeaker or with clappings, the importance of music is very high in Teej, whether it is improvised, whether it gives the fragrance of Nepali soil.

Today, various television channels and radio broadcast live programs of Teej, which are organized in different places. Red color and joy will flow in the Nepali media today. Magazines will also be filled with sharp pictures and word content. Today, the hearts of most Nepali women, including Sanatan Hindu women, are painted in full color.

Teej beyond gender

Although Teej is widely regarded as a women's festival, it is very important for both men and women. Just as women have been allowed to fast for their husbands and future husbands, there is no such thing as a fast dedicated to women. However, by carrying their responsibilities, men can be more responsible for women, increase their love and harmony, and flow their love for as long as they live.

We studied how the word 'Teej' got its name. I am keeping the information received here. We also found that the story of the naming of this festival in the second half of the rainy season, which is a kind of insect that comes out in the rainy season, thus the word "Teej" is related to the insect's name. On the other hand, Tihar is considered to be a festival of prosperity and Teej also came from the festival Tihar in the form of Teej.

May the broken relationships be healed by the grace of this Teej, may the feelings be connected, and thousands of strong dreams of every Nepali couple be fulfilled. A small question to male friends, what gift do you plan to give to your fasting wife or girlfriend? If someone has found a way to fast for themselves, a phone call or a meeting in the evening will honor both fasting and love.

Rashtriya Bal Diwas

Innocent eyes, perplexing repetitive common questions, parrot speech, cartoon revelry, vicious and demonic behaviors, and their unconscious activities, children's magical eyes, and the normal dreams within them, perhaps nature has made us humans to be like this. I think so.

Every year on Bhadra 29th, Nepal celebrates Children's Day for these children and their safety and protection. Nepal has been celebrating National Children's Day on Bhadra 29th every year on the occasion of the day Nepal ratified the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child on September 14, 1990, and expressed its international commitment to child development, protection of child rights, and child participation.

The historic context of Rashtriya Bal Diwas in Nepal

National Children's Day has been celebrated in Nepal since Bhadra 4, 2021 BS. The then queen Ratna Rajyalakshmidevi Shah, during her visit to India, came to know that Children's Day was celebrated on Mahatma Gandhi's birthday and many social activities were held on that day.

Bhadra 4 was the birthday of Ratna Rajyalakshmidevi Shah. Thus, Nepal celebrated 42 Children's Day on Bhadra 4, and finally, Nepal was then trying to follow the path of the republic since 2063 BS, establishing Bhadra 29 as Children's Day. Welcome to Children's Day on Bhadra 29 of this year.Now the importance of parenting, growing, and living is different in contrast to previous years. This year's Rashtriya Bal Diwas also advocates for the transformed parenting and growing scenarios and the protection of a child's interest under that changed scenario. Whether or not our children are heading in the right direction, if not, we need to consider how we should change our behavior. Here neither Shravan Kumar came from the soil nor the terrorists fell from the sky, our children are the future of every good and bad persona, think well, speak well and look good, good luck to all.

Rastriya Dharma Sava Diwas, Nepal

Background of Rastriya Dharmasava in Nepal

Every year since 2066 BS, it is customary to celebrate the National Dharmasabha Day on the 9th of Bhadra every year. Taking you back to Nepal about 100 years ago, when Chandrashamser was the Prime Minister of Nepal. The first Dharmasabha was held in BS 1961 when Chandrashamser invited all the scholars and pundits to hold a week-long Dharmasabha. After that Dharmasabha, the official and formal Bikram Samvat of Nepal took place.

Modern Nepal and its context to dharma Sava

Nepal, full of Sanatan rites and traditions, is a country united in diversity and will build a common ground to protect all religions, communities, and traditions through the Dharmasabha. In 2066 BS, the then government of Nepal tried to take three insensitive decisions. It was a government step to make it a year of only 11 months and establish AD as a formal Nepali calendar. Besides, the decision to have a Nepali Bhatt priest in Pashupati was also taken at that time.

Vikram Samvat itself is multi-faced, the scientific aspect and features of Nepal Samvat and AD. Both are integrated in this ancient Vikram Sambat, not only scientific but also a link to Nepali identity. After that insensitive decisions of the communists led goverment, the Dharmasabha was formally registered for the protection of Nepali tradition. Guru Madhav Bhattarai also told Hamro Patro that it is customary to celebrate the National Dharmasabha every year on the day of Ganesh Chaturthi after Teej.

In this way, for the protection of Vedic Sanatan practice, identity, Vedic customs, and other religions and cultures in Nepali culture, the Dharmasabha also works closely with the Panchang Nirnayak Samiti, including the inclusion of festivals and dates in the annual calendar. Every year, the Dharmasabha Committee holds a Pandit Conference and protects and promotes the rules and regulations, including dates and festivals.

May this year's Dharmasabha Day take a pioneering step in preserving the identity, faith, traditions, and customs of Nepalis in the years to come? Mobile companion, a synonym of Nepalijan, Hamro Patro wishes Dharmasabha Day to all its users.
