Why do we Celebrate Radha Ashtami?

On the eve of Radha Ashtami, special prayers and pujas are performed at all of the temples of Sri Krishna, especially in the states of northern India. ISKCON temples and other locations around the nation mark the festival with joy and lavish celebrations. Extreme splendour and grandeur are used to commemorate the event in Barsana, the birthplace of Radharani, as well as in Mathura and Vrindavan. 

It is believed that Radhaji is a manifestation of the Goddess Lakshmi. She wanted to be with Sri Krishna on Janmashtami, therefore in order to symbolize her genuine love to Sri Krishna, she was born as Radha and appeared on earth. Radharani is regarded as the best illustration of eternal love and sincere devotion.

The love between Sri Krishna and Radha is regarded as the most sincere and holy love that has ever existed. Since they are both regarded as having one soul, Sri Krishna merges with Radharani. Goddess Lakshmi and Sri Vishnu shower their blessings onto the devotees who pray to and revere Radharani.

What is Radha Ashtami's origin story?

When it comes to Radharani's birth, there are two alternative stories that are often talked about.

Radharani's appearance:

King Vrishbhanu visited the River Yamuna's coast during the month of Bhadrapada on a night with a half-moon to take a bath. He discovered himself enveloped in a golden glow, the spirit of real and unadulterated love, while having a bath. The golden glow was emitting from a lotus flower. On its whorl was a little girl. After claiming the little daughter, King Vrishbhanu went back to the palace. Being childless, Queen Kirtida was overjoyed to meet the infant. They adopted Radharani and began taking the best care for her.

Birth of Radha: 

As per Padma Purana, Vrishbhanu discovered Radharani while sweeping the floor in preparation for a yajna. This is the second legend relating to the birth of Radharani. Sage 'Narada' informed Vrishbhanu and his wife Kritika that Radha is just the manifestation of Goddess Laxmi. She was regarded as their daughter by them both starting on that specific day.

Religious Relevance of Radha Ashtami

An opportune occasion to worship Lord Krishna and Radha is on Radha Ashtami. Devotees fast as well in order to fulfill their dreams. All requests are said to be granted if you worship Radha Rani on this day with a pure heart. The seeker experiences increased lifespan, good fortune, and wealth. Devotion to Sri Krishna is incomplete without the worship of Radha Rani. Repetition of the Radhe-Radhe mantra is said to bestow Sri Krishna's blessings on the devotee. The person obtains Vaikunth Lok by his grace, just as Sudama did.

In addition, Radha Ashtami, like Janmashtami, has a special significance of its own. On this day, a devotee can atone for all of their sins by fasting. The Radha Ashtami fast is observed by married women in an effort to attract the benefits of joy, progeny, and continuous good fortune.

What rituals are carried out on Radha Ashtami?

Devotees worship Radharani on the eve of Radha Ashtami. People who desire to ask Goddess Lakshmi for her favours sometimes fast for the day. After taking a holy bath, the idol of Radha is put at the midday hour, and it is then embellished with flowers and fresh clothing. Radharani receives bhog, dhoop, and shringar as offerings. All of the devotees participate in Radha aarti and receive prasad. Chanting the Radha Gayatri Mantra is a very popular activity during the Radha Ashtami celebration.

durva ashtami

Hindus place a great deal of religious significance on Durva Ashtami. It is exceedingly precious to Sri  Ganesha, and puja is not complete without presenting it. The sole purpose of Durva Ashtami is to worship Durva grass. One of the most sacred and significant herbs utilized in Hindu ceremonies is thought to be this grass. On Ashtami Tithi, the eighth day of Shukla Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada, this event is celebrated. It is thought that by participating in this rite, 10 ancestors' blessings and immortality are guaranteed.

Durva Ashtami 2023: Significance

On the day of Durva Ashtami, followers fast and offer prayers to the holy Durva grass, according to Hindu scriptures. On this auspicious day, prayers are said to bring peace and prosperity to those who give them to Durva grass. The Durva Ashtami festival is mostly observed in West Bengal and the country's eastern regions. In Bengal, this fast is recognized as 'Durvashtami Brata'. On this day, devotees practice fasting. On this day, Sri Ganesha is also adored.

A few drops of the "Amrit," which the Asuras and Devas were carrying, dropped into the Durva Grass following Samudra Manthan. Since then, it has gained immortality, auspiciousness and good fortune. On Durva Ashtami, those who worship Durva Grass with devotion see all of their wishes come true. On Durva Ashtami, it is said that individuals who solely eat raw foods are cleansed of all sins. Sri Krishna taught the value of Durva Grass to King Yudhisthira. A man who conducts the Durva Ashtami Puja on a regular basis will be endowed with the ability to pass along his heritage to next generations.

When Sita was imprisoned in Ashoka Vatika, it is believed that she put a blade of Durva between herself and Ravana. Ravana had been told not to cross the grass put up by her.

Durva Ashtami 2023: Story

Hinduism accords Durva a significant deal of sacred significance. Given that it is presented to Lord Ganesha, it is always regarded as pious and sacred grass. Because Lord Ganesha loves Durva Grass dearly, one must present Durva to Lord Ganppati when they worship him. Durva emerged from Lord Vishnu’s hair from his hand and thighs while he supported mount Mandara during the Samudra Manthan and he was in the form of Kurma Avtar, according to the Bhavishya Purana. A few hairs are said to have fallen into the water and eventually turned into Durva Grass.

Legend/The story of Durva Grass


The Atharvana Veda and the Rig Veda both make reference to Durva. As per Bhavishya Purana Durva emerged from Lord Vishnu’s hair on his hand and thighs while he supported mount Mandara during the Samudra Manthan as a Turtle. As per Vamana Purana, Durva emerged from the tail of Vasuki, the serpent that was used to churn the ocean during Samudra Manthana.

According to Hindu scriptures, there once existed a demon by the name of Analasura who began wreaking devastation both in the heavens and on earth. He used to set everything on fire by letting out the fire from his eyes. All of the gods came to Sri Ganesha to ask for assistance. After hearing everything, Ganesha became enraged and went to slay Analasura. In the midst of the conflict with Ananalsura, Sri Ganpati appeared in his Viraat form and ate the monster. After then, the heat began to make Sri Ganesha nervous. Moon God came for assistance after spotting Ganesha in this posture and stood on his head to reduce the temperature. That is how he came to be known as Bhalchandra. Sri Vishnu offered the lotus, Varuna god, the Rain God sprinkled abundance of water, yet the heat would not abate. Shiva god, fastened the cobra around his abdomen.

A tiny bunch of twenty-one durvas was brought by 88,000 sages. Each of them placed the bunch of 21 durvas on Ganesha's head and magically the heat dissipated. Lord Ganesha was cured of his stomach ailment. After cooling off, Sri Ganesha said that whosoever offered him Durva with devotion would be granted pleasure, good karma, good health, and wealth. Thus Lord Ganesha is worshipped with 21 Durva Grass on Ganesha Chaturthi day.

Durva Ashtami 2023: Rituals

Ganesha Utsav is now taking place, thus it would be quite fortunate and gratifying to worship Ganesha and give Durva grass during these days. Devotees are required to get up early, take a bath, and put on fresh clothing. Women do special rituals and puja in honor of Durva Grass on this day. Flowers, fruits, grains, incense sticks, and curd are used to worship the lucky Durva Grass. On this day, women practice fasting. They offer adoration to Lords Ganesha and Shiva and carry out pujas for the health and prosperity of their offspring. Their marital life will become peaceful and harmonious by this fast. Giving food and clothing to Brahmins is very lucky.

Mahalakshmi Vrat 2023 Date

mahalakshmi vrat

Mahalakshmi Vrat begins on Bhadrapada month Shukla Ashtami which comes after four days of Ganesha Chaturthi festival and continues till the eight day of the Pitru Paksha (the Shradh period dedicated to ancestors). Mahalakshmi Vrat is observed for sixteen consecutive days which ends on Ashwin month Krishna Ashtami (as per Purnimanta calendar followed in North India). This vrat is observed with full fervour and dedication in the northern regions of India such as Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh. Due to leaped and skipped Tithi during fasting period, total fasting days might reduce to fifteen days or might increase to seventeen days. 

Significance of Mahalakshmi Vrat

The Mahalakshmi fasting is done to please and seek divine blessings of Mahalakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, prosperity and fortune.

The glory of sacred Mahalakshmi Vrat was explained by Sri Krishna to King Yudhisthira, the eldest of the Pandav brothers. The greatness of Mahalakshmi Vrat is also mentioned in religious scriptures like ‘Bhavishya Purana’.

Mahalakshmi Vrat is celebrated in honour of Goddess Lakshmi, who is the consort of Sri Hari Vishnu. Sixteen knots are tied in a string and the observer of Mahalakshmi Vrat wears it on his/her left hand. Devotees worship the idol of Goddess Lakshmi with utmost dedication and pray the Goddess to shower happiness and prosperity on their entire family. 

The tithi of Bhadrapada Shukla Ashtami is also observed as Goddess Radha's birthday which is popularly known as Radha Ashtami. The day, when Mahalakshmi Vrat begins, is significant as this day coincides with Durva Ashtami Vrat when Durva grass is worshipped. The same day is also observed as Jyeshta Devi Puja which is performed for three consecutive days.

Varaha Jayanti History

As a half-boar, half-human reincarnation, Lord Vishnu is said to have raised the earth with his tusks. To protect the Earth from Hiranyaksha, who had dragged it to the bottom of the sea, he assumed the form of Varaha. After killing the demon, Varaha raised the Earth from the ocean with his tusks.

Bhudevi, the earth, is portrayed as a young woman carried by Varaha.

Varaha Jayanti : Significance

Lord Vishnu is considered as the protector of all realms in Hindu mythology. He is regarded as one of the most potent deities in the triad, which also includes Lord Shiva and Brahma.

The Varaha, one of Vishnu's most renowned avatars, is Vishnu's third incarnation on earth, and Varaha Jayanti is observed to commemorate Vishnu's birth. It is claimed that Lord Varaha grants people who adore him great wealth and excellent health.

It is believed that prayers made on Varaha Jayanti ward off evil and grant devotees a life full of bliss. Devotees pray, chant, and perform kirtans of Varaha avatar.

The third incarnation of Sri Hari is also referred to as Bhagwan Varaha in the Sri Dashavatar Stotra of Sri Geetgovindam, which was written by Sri Jayadev Goswami.

Vasati Dashanshikhre Dharani Tav Lagna.
Shashini Kalanklev Nimagna.
Keshav Dhritsukarup Jai Jagdish Hare ॥ 3 ॥

Meaning: Hey Jagdish! Hey Keshav! Hey Hare! Hey Barahrupdhari! Just as the moon is visible together with the blur within itself, in the same way the earth is situated above your teeth ॥ 3 ॥

Varaha Jayanti : Puja Vidhi or Rituals

After the devotee has had his bath and is ready to commence the holy festival of Varaha Jayanti. Devotees can worship the Lord in a Vishnu temple or even in their residences. Worshipers of Lord Varaha perform the following rites on Varaha Jayanti.
  • A metal pot (Kalash) is used to hold the Lord Varaha idol.
  • Water and mango leaves are placed inside of the Kalash. Additionally, a coconut (nariyal) is put on top of the Kalash and is afterwards given to a Brahmin.
  • On this day, the devotees also read aloud from the Shrimad Bhagwad Gita. To appease Lord Vishnu, they worship, chant, and perform Varaha avatar kirtans.
  • On the eve of Varaha Jayanti, devotees who observe a fast are supposed to provide clothing and money to the underprivileged and needy.

The following mantra, when spoken 108 times with honey or jaggery, is thought to rapidly grant all the wishes of devotees.

Varaha Mantra

Varaha Mantra In English

om namo bhagavate vaaraaharoopaay bhoorbhuvah svah syaatpate bhoopatitvam dehyate dadaapay svaaha.

Varaha Mantra In Hindi

ॐ नमो भगवते वाराहरूपाय भूर्भुवः स्वः स्यात्पतेभूपतित्वं देह्यते ददापय स्वाहा।

Devotees must chant this Varaha mantra on Varaha Jayanti to please Sri Hari Vishnu. However, it is a must to chant the Varaha mantra while wearing a coral or red sandalwood garland.

Varaha Jayanti Legend or Varaha Avatar Katha

The Puranas claim that Diti, one of Kashyapa's thirteen wives, gave birth to the extremely potent demons Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha. She also gave birth to Holika, a demon who turned out to be malevolent and whose burning is commemorated as Holi, the festival of colors, throughout India. Although both of the male offspring grew up to be strong adults, they chose the road of adharma rather than dharma. Hiranyakashipu and his brother Hiranyaksha prayed continuously and summoned Lord Brahma, who they had managed to appease with their unwavering faith. They asked the world's creator to grant them invincibility in all realms when Lord Brahma appeared and gave them the opportunity to make a wish.

The two sons of Diti went on the rampage throughout the three realms after Lord Brahma gave them their request. The two brothers allegedly went on to rule the three worlds. However, their need for further carnage was insatiable. They immediately set off towards Lord Varuna's dominion, which was then known as Vibhaari Nagari. The two asuras (demons) were warned by Lord Varuna to keep away from the kingdom since they could never overpower Lord Vishnu, who is their guardian angel and guards the entire cosmos.

Hiranyaksha was incensed by the insult and set out to find Lord Vishnu in order to vanquish him and assert the invincibility that Lord Brahma had granted him. The defender of kingdoms had been reincarnated as Lord Varaha by the time he saw Lord Vishnu. It is said that Hiranyaksha witnessed Lord Varaha balancing the earth on his tusks at this very time. Following a fight, Lord Varaha kills Hiranyaksha, putting an end to the horror both he and his brother had imposed. From this point forward, people began to accept the wild boar as Lord Vishnu's third manifestation. Since then, they have been worshiping Lord Varaha and following a fast on Varaha Jayanti in order to ward off evil and live a virtuous life.

Varaha Swamy Temple

One of the major Varha Jayanti ceremonies is held in an old temple in Mathura that is dedicated to Lord Varaha. Bhu Varaha Swamy Temple at Tirumala is another temple well-known for hosting Varaha Jayanti celebrations. Offerings are made to the idol of Lord Vishnu on the eve of this event. Coconut water, milk, honey, butter, and ghee are among the offerings.

Tulsidas Jayanti is observed on the seventh day (saptami) of the bright half of the Hindu month of Shravan which usually falls in July or August. Tulsidas composed different works and contributed to Hindu literature through his poetic works but he is best known as the author of the epic Ramcharitmanas, the Sanskrit Ramayana in the Awadhi language, making it accessible to a larger audience.

tulsidas jayanti date

Tulsidas (1497-1623 C.E.), renowned for his great devotion towards Lord Rama, was a Hindu saint and a poet. Tulsidas Jayanti is observed on the seventh day (saptami) of the bright half of the Hindu month of Shravan which usually falls in July or August. Tulsidas composed different works and contributed to Hindu literature through his poetic works but he is best known as the author of the epic Ramcharitmanas, the Sanskrit Ramayana in the Awadhi language, making it accessible to a larger audience. The popularization of the Ramcharitmanas led to the Ramayana's eventual prominence in Indian popular culture.

Tulsidas also known as Goswami Tulsidas, was acclaimed to be a reincarnation of Maharishi Valmiki, the composer of the original Ramayana in Sanskrit. He is also considered to be the composer of Hanuman Chalisa, a popular devotional hymn in Awadhi dedicated to Lord Hanuman. Tulsidas poetry and writings are characterised by their spiritual depth, devotion to Rama and a focus on moral and ethical values.

Where was Tulsidas born?

Atmaram Dubey, a Brahmin, and his wife Hulsi had Tulsidas in Sookar Kshetra Soron, which is now a part of the Kasganj district in Uttar Pradesh and is situated along the banks of the holy Ganga. The prevailing wisdom holds that Tulsidas was carried by his mother for a full year before being born. Surprisingly, he had teeth when he was born, and instead of sobbing, he spoke the word "Rama." He was given the name Rambola, which means "the one who took the name, Rama," in its literal sense.

Tulsidas spent most of his life in the holy city of Varanasi. The famous Tulsi Ghat on the Ganges River in Varanasi is named after him. Tulsidas also founded the famous Sankatmochan Temple dedicated to Hanuman God. Tulsidas is thought to have lived between (1497 and 1623 C.E. ), while the exact dates are unknown. 

How did Rambola transform into Tulsidas?


His parents left him due to a flaw in his astrological chart. After that, his mother's maid reared him. But once she passed away, he roamed aimlessly and subsisted by accepting handouts. He was afterwards adopted by a saint by the name of Narharidas, who later on became his spiritual father. 

Tulsidas - One of the Greatest Sri Rama's Devotee

The songs of Tulsidas praised Shri Rama, Lord Vishnu's eighth manifestation. The Ramayana was written in Sanskrit by Sage Valmiki, who is said to have been the author-saint. Tulsidas reportedly received the good fortune to see both Hanuman and his Ishta Devta, Shri Rama. 

He first encountered Ram-Bhakt Hanuman in the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple in contemporary Varanasi. He was the author of the Hanuman Chalisa. The Mughal emperor Akbar is claimed to have imprisoned him for forty days; it was at this time that the hymn honoring Hanuman was written.

Tulsidas' compositions

Ramlalla Nahachhu, Barvai Ramayan, Ramagya Prashna, Parvati Mangal, and Janaki Mangal are among the works by Tulsidas that were written in Awadhi, whereas Krishna Gitavali, Gitavali, Sahitya Ratna, Dohavali, Vinaya Patrika, and Vairagya Sandipani were written in Braj Bhasha. One of his best works is the well-known bhajan Thumak Chalat Ramchandra, which celebrates Ram Lala's youth.

Hindus, especially those who hold Rama and Tulsidas in high regard, observe Tulsidas Jayanti Day with reverence and devotion. Whatever is known about Tulsidas comes from the "Bhaktamal" and "Bhaktirasbodhini" of his contemporary Nabhadas and Priyadas, which is a commentary on "Bhaktamal." His profound verses, teachings, and literary works continue to inspire those seeking spiritual wisdom and a closer relationship with God.
