How Hariyali Teej fast is carried out?

Married women fast for the whole day, not even drink a single drop of water and the Hariyali Teej fast is completed after moon worshipping. They visit their parents' home, wear new clothes like green lehengas or green Saree and bangles, sing songs dedicated to Teej. Wearing green color is highly auspicious on this day. The Vat Vriksha tree is also worshipped on the ‘Shravani teej’. A 'dhaaga' or cotton thread is tied on the sacred Banyan tree or Vat Vriksha. Though the festival of Teej is celebrated by married women, many unmarried women also fast along with the married ones to get a husband like God Shiva. Women visit the nearest temple and listen or recite the Teej Vrat Katha.

Women applies henna on their hands and feet during Hariyali Teej. Mehendi color on the hands tells about the love of their husbands. It is believed that if the color of the henna on the hand is dark, the more she will be loved by her husband. Women also happen to write their husband name with henna on their hands.

Vat Savitri Vrat Katha in Hindi


भद्र देश के एक राजा थे, जिनका नाम अश्वपति था। भद्र देश के राजा अश्वपति के कोई संतान न थी। उन्होंने संतान की प्राप्ति के लिए मंत्रोच्चारण के साथ प्रतिदिन एक लाख आहुतियाँ दीं। अठारह वर्षों तक यह क्रम जारी रहा। इसके बाद सावित्रीदेवी ने प्रकट होकर वर दिया कि: राजन तुझे एक तेजस्वी कन्या पैदा होगी। सावित्रीदेवी की कृपा से जन्म लेने के कारण से कन्या का नाम सावित्री रखा गया।

कन्या बड़ी होकर बेहद रूपवान हुई। योग्य वर न मिलने की वजह से सावित्री के पिता दुःखी थे। उन्होंने कन्या को स्वयं वर तलाशने भेजा। सावित्री तपोवन में भटकने लगी। वहाँ साल्व देश के राजा द्युमत्सेन रहते थे, क्योंकि उनका राज्य किसी ने छीन लिया था। उनके पुत्र सत्यवान को देखकर सावित्री ने पति के रूप में उनका वरण किया।

ऋषिराज नारद को जब यह बात पता चली तो वह राजा अश्वपति के पास पहुंचे और कहा कि हे राजन! यह क्या कर रहे हैं आप? सत्यवान गुणवान हैं, धर्मात्मा हैं और बलवान भी हैं, पर उसकी आयु बहुत छोटी है, वह अल्पायु हैं। एक वर्ष के बाद ही उसकी मृत्यु हो जाएगी।

ऋषिराज नारद की बात सुनकर राजा अश्वपति घोर चिंता में डूब गए। सावित्री ने उनसे कारण पूछा, तो राजा ने कहा, पुत्री तुमने जिस राजकुमार को अपने वर के रूप में चुना है वह अल्पायु हैं। तुम्हे किसी और को अपना जीवन साथी बनाना चाहिए।

इस पर सावित्री ने कहा कि पिताजी, आर्य कन्याएं अपने पति का एक बार ही वरण करती हैं, राजा एक बार ही आज्ञा देता है और पंडित एक बार ही प्रतिज्ञा करते हैं और कन्यादान भी एक ही बार किया जाता है।

सावित्री हठ करने लगीं और बोलीं मैं सत्यवान से ही विवाह करूंगी। राजा अश्वपति ने सावित्री का विवाह सत्यवान से कर दिया।

सावित्री अपने ससुराल पहुंचते ही सास-ससुर की सेवा करने लगी। समय बीतता चला गया। नारद मुनि ने सावित्री को पहले ही सत्यवान की मृत्यु के दिन के बारे में बता दिया था। वह दिन जैसे-जैसे करीब आने लगा, सावित्री अधीर होने लगीं। उन्होंने तीन दिन पहले से ही उपवास शुरू कर दिया। नारद मुनि द्वारा कथित निश्चित तिथि पर पितरों का पूजन किया।

हर दिन की तरह सत्यवान उस दिन भी लकड़ी काटने जंगल चले गये साथ में सावित्री भी गईं। जंगल में पहुंचकर सत्यवान लकड़ी काटने के लिए एक पेड़ पर चढ़ गये। तभी उसके सिर में तेज दर्द होने लगा, दर्द से व्याकुल सत्यवान पेड़ से नीचे उतर गये। सावित्री अपना भविष्य समझ गईं।

सत्यवान के सिर को गोद में रखकर सावित्री सत्यवान का सिर सहलाने लगीं। तभी वहां यमराज आते दिखे। यमराज अपने साथ सत्यवान को ले जाने लगे। सावित्री भी उनके पीछे-पीछे चल पड़ीं।

यमराज ने सावित्री को समझाने की कोशिश की कि यही विधि का विधान है। लेकिन सावित्री नहीं मानी।

सावित्री की निष्ठा और पतिपरायणता को देख कर यमराज ने सावित्री से कहा कि हे देवी, तुम धन्य हो। तुम मुझसे कोई भी वरदान मांगो।

सावित्री ने कहा कि मेरे सास-ससुर वनवासी और अंधे हैं, उन्हें आप दिव्य ज्योति प्रदान करें। यमराज ने कहा ऐसा ही होगा। जाओ अब लौट जाओ।
लेकिन सावित्री अपने पति सत्यवान के पीछे-पीछे चलती रहीं। यमराज ने कहा देवी तुम वापस जाओ। सावित्री ने कहा भगवन मुझे अपने पतिदेव के पीछे-पीछे चलने में कोई परेशानी नहीं है। पति के पीछे चलना मेरा कर्तव्य है। यह सुनकर उन्होने फिर से उसे एक और वर मांगने के लिए कहा।

सावित्री बोलीं हमारे ससुर का राज्य छिन गया है, उसे पुन: वापस दिला दें।
यमराज ने सावित्री को यह वरदान भी दे दिया और कहा अब तुम लौट जाओ। लेकिन सावित्री पीछे-पीछे चलती रहीं। यमराज ने सावित्री को तीसरा वरदान मांगने को कहा।

इस पर सावित्री ने 100 संतानों और सौभाग्य का वरदान मांगा। यमराज ने इसका वरदान भी सावित्री को दे दिया।

सावित्री ने यमराज से कहा कि प्रभु मैं एक पतिव्रता पत्नी हूं और आपने मुझे पुत्रवती होने का आशीर्वाद दिया है। यह सुनकर यमराज को सत्यवान के प्राण छोड़ने पड़े। यमराज अंतध्यान हो गए और सावित्री उसी वट वृक्ष के पास आ गई जहां उसके पति का मृत शरीर पड़ा था।

सत्यवान जीवंत हो गया और दोनों खुशी-खुशी अपने राज्य की ओर चल पड़े। दोनों जब घर पहुंचे तो देखा कि माता-पिता को दिव्य ज्योति प्राप्त हो गई है। इस प्रकार सावित्री-सत्यवान चिरकाल तक राज्य सुख भोगते रहे।

अतः पतिव्रता सावित्री के अनुरूप ही, प्रथम अपने सास-ससुर का उचित पूजन करने के साथ ही अन्य विधियों को प्रारंभ करें। वट सावित्री व्रत करने और इस कथा को सुनने से उपवासक के वैवाहिक जीवन या जीवन साथी की आयु पर किसी प्रकार का कोई संकट आया भी हो तो वो टल जाता है।

कहा जाता है कि वट वृक्ष की जड़ों में ब्रह्मा, तने में भगवान विष्णु व डालियों व पत्तियों में भगवान शिव का निवास स्थान माना जाता है।  इस व्रत में महिलाएं वट वृक्ष की पूजा करती हैं, सती सावित्री की कथा सुनने व वाचन करने से सौभाग्यवती महिलाओं की अखंड सौभाग्य की कामना पूरी होती है।

 सावित्री के पतिव्रता धर्म की कथा का सार :- यह है कि एकनिष्ठ पतिपरायणा स्त्रियां अपने पति को सभी दुख और कष्टों से दूर रखने में समर्थ होती है। जिस प्रकार पतिव्रता धर्म के बल से ही सावित्री ने अपने पति सत्यवान को यमराज के बंधन से छुड़ा लिया था। इतना ही नहीं खोया हुआ राज्य तथा अंधे सास-ससुर की नेत्र ज्योति भी वापस दिला दी। उसी प्रकार महिलाओं को अपना गुरु केवल पति को ही मानना चाहिए। गुरु दीक्षा के चक्र में इधर-उधर नहीं भटकना चाहिए।

The sins of this life and the previous one are considered burned by observing this fast. Nirjala Ekadasi fast helps in getting longevity, happiness, salvation, wealth, and prosperity with the blessings of Lord Vishnu. It is recommended not to fast on this day of Nirjala Ekadashi for those who are undergoing treatments or medications, if one can observe they can have fruits and milk, tea but not any form of atta or wheat and salt. It is a known fact that one should not eat rice on any ekadashi day including Nirjala Ekadasi.

Buddha Purnima 2020

Buddha Purnima 2020


Gautam Buddha was born as Siddhartha Gautama to King Suddhodana and lived life in great luxury. At his birth there were predictions that the prince would become a great monarch one day, he was isolated from the outside world so that he wouldn’t get influenced in living a religious life. Gautam became prince and one day at the age of 29 he decided to see the outside world and soon left off the palace grounds in his chariot. On his way towards the journey, he saw an old man, a sick man, and a corpse. As Siddhartha was kept away and he did not know the miseries of aging, sickness, and death he asked his charioteer to explain about it. Just he was about to reach the Palace, he saw a monk and really liked his peaceful attitude. Thus he decided to go into the world to know exactly how the man could be so calm and composed despite such sufferings all around him. He left the palace and became an ascetic. He reached the peak of of mystical realization but as he was  not satisfied, he went out in search of nirvana, the highest level of enlightenment. He sat under a banyan tree and seeked to attain enlightenment. As he attained enlightenment, he preached about it and later founded Buddhism.

As per North Indians, Buddha is believed as the 9th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. However, Buddha is never regarded as an Avatar of Vishnu as per South Indian system. Balarama is considered as the 8th incarnation and Krishna as the 9th incarnation of Lord Vishnu as per South Indian system. Most of Vaishnavaites consider Balarama as an incarnation of Vishnu. But Buddhists do not consider Buddha as an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Gautama Buddha's birth and death time is unsure. But most historians consider his lifetime between 563-483 B.C. Buddha died at the age of 80 at Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh.
