Hartalika Teej

>> Friday, September 10, 2010

Just like Karwa Chauth.. Fast Hartalika Teej is also celebrated by Indian Hindu Women to wish for a long and successful life of their Husband and Kids.

Hartalika Teej is the biggest of the various variation of Teej. Hartalika Teej falls on the third day of the first fortnight of the month of 'Bhadra'. It is a three-day festival which is celebrated by women in honor of Parvati Ma. On this day, womenfolk keep fast for long and conjugal life of their husband. Hartalika Teej fast proceeds without even drinking a drop of water. By rigorous fasting and praying to Goddess Parvati on Hartalika Teej, married women are blessed with healthy life of their husband while the unmarried girls are said to be blessed by a husband like Lord Shiva.

Hartalika Teej is on 10th Sep-2010

Hartalika Teej Vrat..

‘भाद्रस्य कजली कृष्णा शुक्ला च हरितालिका ।’

भाद्रशुक्ल ३ को ‘हरितालिका’ का व्रत किया जाता है। शास्त्रमें इस व्रतके लिये सधवा, विधवा सबको आज्ञा है ।

पुर्वी उत्तर प्रदेश , मध्य भारत , राजस्थान , बिहार और झारखण्ड आदि प्रांतो में भाद्रपद शुक्ल तृतीया को सोभाग्यावती स्त्रियाँ अपने अखंड सौभाग्यकी रक्षा के लिए बड़ी श्रद्धा , विश्वास और लगन के साथ हरितालिका व्रत ( तीज ) का उत्सव मनाती हैं ।

जिस त्याग - तपस्या और निष्ठा के साथ स्त्रियां यह व्रत रखती है वह बड़ा कठिन है । इसमे फलाहार सेवन की बात तो दूर रही , निष्ठावाली स्त्रियाँ जलतक नहीं ग्रहण करती । इस व्रत में मुख्य रूप से शिव-पार्वती तथा गणेशजी का पूजन किया जाता है ।

इस व्रत को सर्व प्रथम गिरिराजनंदिनी उमा ने किया , जिसके फल स्वरुप भगवान् शिव पतिरूपमें प्राप्त हुए थे । इस व्रत के दिन स्त्रियां वह कथा भी सुनती हैं , जो पार्वतीजी के जीवन में घटित हुई थी ।

संकल्प - ‘मम उमामहेश्वरसायुज्यसिद्धये हरितालिकाव्रतमहं करिष्ये

Karwachauth Celebrations

>> Tuesday, October 6, 2009

The day of Karva Chauth is celebrated mostly amongst the entire North Indian community settled either in India and other parts of the world. The most important aspect of this day is that a dawn to dusk fast is undertaken by the North Indian ladies and seeing the moon they finally break the fast. The fast is unique perhaps because nowhere in the world does a wife go without food or water just to pray for the longevity and well-being of her husband.




In modern day, with all the trappings of commercialization attached, Karva Chauth, the big fasting day has turned into a full-fledged event. The event is growing bigger with each passing day. Karva Chauth celebrations promise to grow bigger with each passing year. The Halwais, the Mehendi and Churiwallis have traditionally been busy on this auspicious day. But joining the bandwagon in recent times are the beauty parlour owners, the event managers and the restaurant owners. Karwa Chauth Celebrations in India
