Happy Teej SMS and Overview of Teej Festival in Nepal

Teej is a fasting festival for Hindu women. It takes place in 3rd day of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapad or Bhado month of nepali calendar normly in the month of August or early September. It is celebrated for marital bliss, well-being of spouse and children and purification of own body and soul. The festival is a three-day-long celebration that combines sumptuous feasts as well as rigid fasting.

Teej in Nepal: 

The first day of Teej is called Dar Khane Din. On this day the women, both married and unmarried, mainly of Khas ethnicity, assemble at one place, in their finest attire and start dancing and singing devotional songs. Amidst all this, the grand feast takes place. The jollity often goes on till midnight, after which the 24-hour fast starts.

The second day is the fasting day. Some women live without a morsel of food and drops of water while others take liquid and fruit. On this day, they gaily dress and visit a nearby Shiva temple singing and dancing on the way. The Pashupatinath Temple gets the highest number of devotees. At the Shiva temple, women circumambulate the lingam, the symbol of the lord, offering flowers, sweets and coins. The main puja (religious ceremony) takes place with offerings of flowers, fruits, etc., made to Shiva and Parbati, beseeching them to grant their blessing upon the husband and family. The important part of the puja is the oil lamp which should be alight throughout the night for it is a bad omen if it dies out.

The third day of the festival is Rishi Panchami. After the completion of the previous day’s puja, women pay homage to various deities and bathe with red mud found on the roots of the sacred datiwan bush, along with its leaves. This act of purification is the final ritual of Teej, after which women are considered absolved from all their sins. The recent years have witnessed an alteration in the rituals, especially concerning the severity, but its essence remains the same.

Teej is celebrated just before the first day of Ganesh Chaturthi. Married women do 24-hour nirjala fasting (without water or fruit) for the wellness of their spouse and their married life.

कथा यो फुटबल पुस्ता

काठमाडौं, भाद्र २२ - नेपालले भारतलाई हराउँदा सबै समर्थकसँगै दशरथ रंगशालामा खुसीयाली मनाउनेमा दुई विशेष व्यक्तित्व पनि थिए, गणेश थापा र हरि खड्का । खड्का प्यारापिटमा थिए भने थापा ट्रायकतिर । निराजन रायमाझीले कहिंकतै बसेर पक्कै खुसीयाली साटेको हुनु पर्छ । विदेशमै सही वसन्त थापाले पनि हर्ष अनुभव गरेको हुनु पर्छ ।

पुरानो पुस्ताका लगभग सबै फुटबल खेलाडीले सामाजिक संजालमा नेपालको लगातार सफलतामा आफू पनि उत्तिकै खुसी रहेको भावना पोखेका छन् । खासमा साफ च्याम्पियनसिप २०१३ मा नेपालले अहिलेसम्म तय गरेको यात्रा नै यस्तो छ । पुराना खेलाडीका पुराना कुरा सुन्ने हो भने लाग्थ्यो, सायद अहिलेको पुस्ताका खेलाडीले केही गर्न सक्दैन् ।

पुस्ता पुस्ताबीचको अन्तर यस्तै हुँदो हो । तर विस्तारै सिद्ध हुन थालेको छ, नेपाली फुटबलले पाएको सबैभन्दा अब्बल दर्जाको पुस्ता सायद अहिलेकै हो ? खेलकुदमा को कत्तिको राम्रो भन्ने आधार तयार पार्न तथ्यांकहरू उपलब्ध हुने गर्छन् । यसैको आधारमा अहिलेको पुस्ताले आफ्नो अग्रजलाई उछिन्न थालेका छन् ।

नेपाली फुटबलमा सबैभन्दा बढी अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय गोल गर्ने कीर्तिमान संयुक्त रूपमा खड्का र रायमाझीको नाममा छ, १३/१३ गोल । त्यसपछि आउूथ्यो, अहिलेका एन्फा अध्यक्ष थापा र विदेशमा रहेका वसन्त । दुवैले नौ/नौ गोल गरेका छन् । उनीहरू सबैले कम्तीमा दुई अथवा तीन फरक पुस्ताको प्रतिनिधित्व गर्छन् ।

उनीहरूलाई उछिदै अगाडि बढिरहेका छन्, अहिलेको पुस्ताका जुमनु राई, अनिल गुरुङ र भरत खवास । भारतविरुद्धको निर्णायक सावित गोल जुमनुको ११ औं थियो । माल्दिभ्सविरुद्ध नयाँ दिल्लीमा नेहरुकपमा दसौं गोल गर्दा उनले भनेका थिए, 'टिमले जित्नु सबैभन्दा ठूलो हो, तर गोलको कीर्तिमान नजिक पुगेकोमा म खुसी छुं । अझ बढी गोल गर्ने प्रयास गर्नेछुं ।'

गुरुङले अहिले चलिरहेको साफ च्याम्पियनसिपमा दुई महत्त्वका गोल गरेका छन् र उनको व्यक्तिगत गोल संख्या पुगेको छ, नौ । भरत खवासले पनि आठ गोल गरिसकेका छन् । त्यसमाथि विमल घर्तिमगरले पनि गोलको खाता खोलिसकेका छन् भने अहिलेसम्म वेञ्चमा रहेका सन्तोष साहुखलको नाममा तीन गोल छ ।

यस्तोमा नेपालले फरवार्डका रूपमा उतार्न मिल्ने चार खेलाडीको संयुक्त गोल संख्या ३२ पुगेको छ । कुनै समय उनीहरूमाथि नै गोलको खडेरी परेको ठूलो न ठूलो आरोप परेको थियो । आरोप झेल्दा झेल्दै उनीहरूले यति धेरै गोल गरेको कमैले चाल पाए । यिनै फरवार्डहरूलाई लिएर पुराना प्रशिक्षक ग्राहम रोबर्टस भन्ने गर्थे, 'उनीहरूभन्दा राम्रो फरवार्ड नेपालमा छैन्, हाम्रो काम उनीहरूलाई नै तिखार्नु हो ।'

नभन्दै अहिले यस्तै देखिएको छ । अब ढिलो चाँदो राई, गुरुङ अथवा खवासमध्ये कसैले सर्वाधिक बढी गोल गर्नेको कीर्तिमान राख्न सक्नेछ । राईसँग यसका लागि सबैभन्दा बलियो अवसर छ । हुन सक्छ, यो अवसर अहिलेको साफ च्याम्पियनमा पनि जुट्न सक्छ । उनीहरू साँच्चै गोलका लागि बढी अभिप्रेरित गर्ने हो भने नेपाली टिमको जित अझ निश्चित हुनेछ ।

गोलकै चर्चा गर्ने हो भने अहिलेको टिममा सन्दीप राईले तीन गोल गरेका छन् । राजु तामाङ र भोला सिलवालले दुई/दुई गोल गरेका छन् । यस्तै विराज महर्जन, जगजित श्रेष्ठ र सागर थापाको नाममा पनि एक/एक गोल गरेका छन् । यस्तोमा यो पुस्ताको नाममा कुल ४२ गोल रहेको छ । यो पनि आफैमा एउटा मीठो कीर्तिमान हो कि ?

त्यसमाथि यही पुस्ताले भारतमाथि आधिकारिक प्रतियोगिताको ९० मिनेटमा पहिलो पल्ट हराउन सकेको छ । यस्तै कुनै ठूलो प्रतियोगितामा नेपालको सेमिफाइनल यात्रा कहिल्यै यति सुमधुर रहेन् । चार टिमको लिग चरण र सेमिफाइनल समीकरण भएको प्रतियोगितामा नेपालले समूह विजेता बनेको पनि त यही हो । यसअघि तीन टिमको लिग चरणमा नेपाल तीन पल्ट पहिलो भएको छ ।

फेरि नेपालले यसपल्ट समूह चरणमा कुनै खेल गुमाएन् । यस्तै प्रवृत्ति पछिल्लो साफ च्याम्पियनसिपमा पनि भएको थियो । अहिले यही पुस्तासूगै पुराना खेलाडीले हात पार्न असफल रहेको नेपाली फुटबलका लागि सबैभन्दा ठूलो सफलता दिलाउने अवसर छ । पहिला अफगानिस्तानविरुद्धको सेमिफाइनल तगारो काट्नु पर्नेछ । धेरैलाई विश्वास छ र कामना पनि गरिरहेका छन्, नेपाल च्याम्पिनयन बन्ने छ ।

Life Story Of Lord Buddha

 In the year 624 BC, in Kapilawaththu (Nepal) Siddhartha Gautama was born as a prince. His father was King Suddhodana and his mother was Queen Mahamaya. When he was sixteen he finished his education and he married Princess Yasodara. King Suddhodana handed over his kingdom to his son Siddhartha. They had a baby name Rahula. When king Siddhartha was 29 years old he decided to renounce lay life. Siddhartha left from his kingdom and went to several well-known teachers to study the ultimate nature of reality. But their teachings didn’t satisfy him and he set out to find his own path. Six years later he went to Bodgaya near the Neranjana River and sat under a tree.

   Siddhartha's mind was calm and relaxed. As he sat his concentration deepened and his wisdom grew brighter. In this clear and peaceful state of mind he began to examine the true nature of life. "What is the cause of suffering,” he asked himself, “and what is the path to everlasting joy?" In his mind's eye he looked far beyond his own country, far beyond his own world. Soon the sun, planets, the stars out in space and distant galaxies of the universe all appeared to him in his meditation. He saw how everything, from the smallest speck of dust to the largest star was linked together in a constantly changing pattern: growing, decaying and growing again. Everything was related. Nothing happened without a cause and every cause had an effect on everything else.

   As he realized this, deeper truths appeared to his mind. He looked deeply into himself and discovered that his life as Siddhartha the Prince was but the latest in a series of lifetimes that had no beginning - and that the same was true of everyone. We are born, live and die not one time, but again and again. He saw that death is only the separation of the mind from its present body. After death the importance of Karma is central to the next journey. When one life ends, another begins - and in this way the wheel of death and birth keeps spinning around and around. He also saw one life to the next we are constantly changing and constantly affecting one another. Sometimes we are rich and comfortable; sometimes we are poor and miserable. Occasionally we experience pleasure, but more often we find ourselves with problems. And Siddhartha also saw that as our conditions change, so do our relations with others. We have all been each other's friend and enemy, mother and father, son and daughter thousands upon thousands of times in the past. 

   Then he looked at all of the suffering in the world. And he saw how living beings create their own misery and joy. Blind to the truth that everything is always changing, they lie, steal and even kill to get the things that they want, even though these things can never give them the lasting happiness they desire. And the more their minds fill with greed and hate, the more they harm each other - and themselves! Each harmful action leads them to more and more unhappiness. They are searching for peace yet find nothing but pain. Finally, he discovered the way to end all this suffering. He was filled with a radiant clear light. He was no longer an ordinary person. With a calm and peaceful smile, he arose from his meditation. In the golden daybreak, so it is said, Siddhartha looked up and saw the morning star. And then a great understanding came to him. He saw in his mind all the life of the world and the planets; of all the past and all the future. He understood the meaning of existence, of why we are here on this earth and what has created us. At long last he found the truth; he attained enlightenment and established the principles of Karma.   Now he was the Lord Buddha, the fully liberated one, awakened and enlightened. The search of six long years had ended. It was a day when the full-moon shone, casting a bright silver light on the whole countryside, a day in the month of Vesak (May). 

Lord Ganesh story

Reasons Why We Worship Ganesha First

Lord Ganesha is a popular deity of Hinduism. He is denoted by His elephant head, big belly, His mount and a small mouse. Ganesha epitomises wisdom and knowledge. He is the Vighnaharta or the destroyer of all obstacles. Ganesha's elephant head is the symbol of wisdom, and His long ears signify that He hears everything that His devotees say.

In India, Lord Ganesha is worshiped before the commencement of almost every task. He is worshiped first in almost all rituals of Hinduism. In fact, Lord Ganesha is almost synonymous with the beginning of any work. Ever wondered why is it that we worship Ganesha first? Let's find out.

What The Scriptures Say

According to the Ganapati Upanishad, Lord Ganesha appeared even before the creation of nature (prakriti) and consciousness (purusha). This is an important link as to why Lord Ganesha is worshiped before beginning any task. According to this scriptures, Lord Ganesha is eternal and He appeared even before the process of creation.

Mythology

Once Goddess Parvati instructed Lord Ganesha to guard the gates and not to let anybody enter. As Ganesha stood on guard, Lord Shiva came and headed towards his room. When He was prevented from entering the house by Ganesha, Lord Shiva became furious and chopped off Ganesha's head. Hearing Ganesha's scream, Goddess Parvati came running and on seeing Ganesha's plight she became furious. She pledged to destroy the world if Her son was not brought back to life.

Then Lord Shiva replaced Ganesha's head with an elephant's and brought Him back to life. Seeing this condition of Her son, Parvati became extremely sad. So, Lord Shiva bestowed Ganesha with divine powers and declared that no puja or good work will ever be deemed complete without invoking Lord Ganesha's name and blessings.

Hence, Lord Ganesha became the 'pratham pujya' or the one who is worshiped first.

Another myth about Ganesha being worshipped first goes like this. Once Ganesha's elder brother Kartikeya declared that He was the best among all Gods. So, Lord Shiva suggested that He and Ganesha would contest a race by circling the universe. The one who returns first will be declared the winner and will be worshiped first. So, Kartikeya happily set out on His peacock to circle the universe. Lord Ganesha being the intelligent one, circled around His parents because for Him his parents were the Universe. So, Ganesha was declared the winner and hence Lord Ganesha is worshiped first.

Yogic Belief

According to the yogic perspective, anything we do has to fall under one of the two categories: material or spiritual. It is believed that Lord Ganesha rules the 'muladhara chakra' of our body. 'Muladhara' is the interface between the material and the spiritual worlds. Lord Ganesha is said to control both these worlds. He is the one who gives the material enjoyments in this world and He is the one who liberates us from the endless cycle of birth and death.

According to the yogic principles, our material life as well as our spiritual journey starts from the 'Muladhara' chakra which is controlled by Lord Ganesha. Hence, to complete our life cycle without any obstacles, we need the blessings of Lord Ganesha.

Since He is the one who gets rid of all the obstacles from our lives, we worship Lord Ganesha before beginning any important work.
