ARE YOU RELIGIOUS OR SIPIRITUAL?

GS's avatarBe Inspired..!!

This is a question that has puzzled individuals for centuries.

However, the answer to this question varies from one person to the other. For some individuals, being religious is about following a set of rules and guidelines as dictated by their faith and their spiritual beliefs. For others, spirituality is a more personal and introspective aspect of their lives.

Religion is deeply rooted in our culture and society. Many people have been brought up with specific religious beliefs and have been raised to follow a particular religious practice. For some individuals, religion provides them with a sense of tradition and community. It gives them a set of moral and ethical guidelines to follow, which help them make decisions in their lives.

On the other hand, spirituality is more about finding your own connection with yourself and the universe. It is about finding purpose and meaning in your life. Spirituality is…

WORLD MOTORCYCLE DAY

World Motorcycle Day is celebrated every year on June 21 as a day to promote freedom on the road. Since June 21 is the longest day of the year the holiday is always celebrated on that day. This day is dedicated to motorcycle enthusiasts and anyone involved in the industry.

World Motorcycle Day promotes the freedom of the road on the back of the Iron Horse. While the Motorcycle has been in existence for over a century now, the role it plays in the cultures of the world is timeless. Whether you’re using a motorcycle to get around on your daily commute or use it as a summertime hobby that takes you on the lonely back-roads of the world, World Motorcycle Day is for you.

Motorcycles have a surprisingly long history, with the first one being created in 1860 by one Pierre Michaux in Paris. This early motorcycle was steam-powered and was one of a few varieties that would spring up in the ensuing decades. 1885 would see the invention of the first internal combustion powered motorcycle, and from there on out things would explode as this popular form of conveyance entered the public consciousness.

Today motorcycles are used for an increasing number of applications, including delivery driving, passenger conveyance, recreation, and even just daily commuting. This is due, in no small part, to the incredible gas mileage these vehicles get, and how compact and easy they are to store even if you live in an apartment. Whether you’re using your motorcycle to get around from day to day, or are an enthusiast or hobbyist who goes on long rides as part of your yearly vacation, World Motorcycle Day is for you.

Have safe riding! 💐

RATHA YATRA 2023

It’s today the June twentieth!

Sand art by Sudarshan Pattnaik at Puri beach

The Ratha Yatra of Puri, also rendered as the Ratha Jatra (Odia: ରଥଯାତ୍ରା) is considered the oldest and largest Hindu chariot festival celebrated annually, on the bright half of the lunar month of Ashadh (June-July).

The festival is held at the city of Puri in the state of Odisha, India and associated with the deity Jagannath (a form Vishnu or Krishna).During the festival, three deities (Jagannath, his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra) are pulled in three massive, wooden chariots to Gundicha Temple whereby they reside there for a week and then return to the Jagannath temple.Descriptions can be found in Brahma Purana, Padma Purana, the Skanda Purana, and the Kapila Samhita.

The presiding deities of the Jagannath Temple, Puri’s main temple, Jagannath, Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra, with the celestial wheel- Sudarshana Chakra (ସୁଦର୍ଶନ ଚକ୍ର) are moved from the temple in a ceremonial procession to their chariots. The huge, colourfully decorated chariots are drawn by multitude of devotees on the bada danda, the grand avenue to the Gundicha Temple (Gundicha– King Indradyumna’s Queen), two miles away to the North. On the way the chariot of Jagannatha, Nandighosa (ନନ୍ଦିଘୋଷ) waits near the crematorium of Bhakta Salabega (ଭକ୍ତ ସାଲବେଗ), a Muslim devotee, to pay him tribute.

On their way back from the Gundicha Temple, the three deities stop for a while near the Mausi Maa Temple (Aunt’s abode) and have an offering of the Poda Pitha, which is a special type of pancake supposed to be the deity’s favourite. After a stay of seven days, the deities return to their abode.

The three chariots of Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra are newly constructed every year with wood of specified trees like phassi, dhausa, etc. They are customarily brought from the ex-princely state of Dasapalla by a specialist team of carpenters who have hereditary rights and privileges for the same. The logs are traditionally set afloat as rafts in the river Mahanadi. These are collected near Puri and then transported by road.

The three chariots are decorated as per the unique scheme prescribed and followed for centuries stand on the Bada Danda, the Grand Avenue. The chariots are lined across the wide avenue in front of the temple close to its eastern entrance, which is also known as the Singhadwara or the Lion’s Gate.

Around each of the chariots are nine Parsva devatas, painted wooden images representing different deities on the chariots’ sides. Each chariot has a charioteer (Sarathi) and four horses.

Have an auspicious day of the holi rath yatra festival starting today! 💐

CELEBRATE THE JOURNEY

Val T Boyko's avatarFind Your Middle Ground

“Who knows why life unfolds
the way it does: why we choose
one path or another, share the
way for a while or a day, then
say goodbye. There is no
predictability here, and less
control that we might wish.
But there is a quiet urging
of the heart, the knowing in
the soul, the wisdom that’s
beneath the mind, accessible
if we breathe and turn inside.

When the tide of change rolls
in we can resist or be at peace,
struggle or release. The stuff
of life may not be ours to
understand. It’s enough to
offer love, to receive the best
and worst, to embrace and
say farewell. What matters
most is to celebrate each
moment of the journey.”

ଜୁନ ମାସର ତୃତୀୟ ରବିବାରକୁ ପିତୃ ଦିବସ ଭାବେ ପାଳନ କରାଯାଏ । ପିତୃ ଦିବସର ପ୍ରତିଷ୍ଠାତା ସୋନୋରା ଲୁଇସ୍ ଥିଲେ । ସୋନୋରାଙ୍କ ମାଆଙ୍କ ମୃତ୍ୟୁ ପରେ ତାଙ୍କ ପିତା ଉଭୟ ମାଆ ଏବଂ ପିତାଙ୍କ ପ୍ରେମ ଦେଇଥିଲେ ।

ବାପା..ଅବର୍ଣ୍ଣନୀୟ ଶବ୍ଦ । ଶବ୍ଦରେ ପିତାଙ୍କ ସଂଜ୍ଞା ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା କରିବା କଷ୍ଟକର ଗୋଟିଏ ସନ୍ତାନ ପାଇଁ ଏହି ନାମ ହିଁ ଯଥେଷ୍ଟ ।

ଆମେ ଇଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ପରମ ପିତା ବୋଲି ମଧ୍ୟ କହିଛୁ, ଅର୍ଥାତ୍ ଯିଏ ସବୁଠାରୁ ଉପରେ ରହିଥାଆନ୍ତି ଆମେ ତାଙ୍କୁ ପିତା କହିଥାଉ । ପିତା ଏବଂ ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ସମ୍ପର୍କ ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ମଧୁର ଏବଂ ଭିନ୍ନ ଅଟେ । ଯେଉଁଠାରେ ପିଲାମାନେ ନିଜ ପିତାଙ୍କ ଗାଳିଗୁଲଜକୁ ଭୟ କରନ୍ତି, ତାଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଜୀବନ ମଧ୍ୟ ଦେଇପାରନ୍ତି । ଅନ୍ୟପଟେ କହିବାକୁ ଗଲେ ପିତା ହେଉଛନ୍ତି ଇଶ୍ବର ଯିଏ ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କର ସମସ୍ତ ଇଚ୍ଛା ଏବଂ ଆକାଂକ୍ଷାକୁ ପୂରଣ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ନିଜ ଜୀବନକୁ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରନ୍ତି । ବାପା ବାହାରୁ କଠିନ ଦେଖାଯାଆନ୍ତି, କିନ୍ତୁ ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ହୃଦୟରୁ ସେ ବହୁତ ନରମ ହୋଇଥାଆନ୍ତି । ସନ୍ତାନକୁ ମାଆ ୯ ମାସ ଗର୍ଭରେ ବୋହିଲା ବେଳେ ବାପା କିନ୍ତୁ ସନ୍ତାନର ବୋଝକୁ ବାହୁରେ ବଳଥିବା ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ବୋହିଥାନ୍ତି ।

ଘର ପାଇଁ ଛାତ ଯେପରି, ପରିବାର ପାଇଁ ବାପା ସେପରି । କଥାରେ ଅଛି ବାପା ନାହିଁ ଯାହାର ଏ ଦୁନିଆ ତାପାଇଁ ଅନ୍ଧାର । ଯାହା ହାତ ଧରି ଚାଲି ଶିଖାନ୍ତି, ଯାହାଙ୍କ ଆଦର୍ଶକୁ ଦିଗଦର୍ଶନ କରି ବାଟ ଚାଲନ୍ତି ସେ ହେଉଛନ୍ତି ବାପା। ପରିବାରର ମେରୁଦଣ୍ଡ, ପରିବାରର ଛତ୍ରଛାୟା ହେଉଛନ୍ତି ବାପା । ଦୁଃଖର ସାଗରକୁ ଯିଏ ଆଖିତଳେ ଚାପି ରଖି ସନ୍ତାନର ସୁଖ ପାଇଁ ଯିଏ ଦିନରାତି କାମ କରନ୍ତି ସେ ହେଉଛନ୍ତି ପିତା । ସନ୍ତାନ ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରଥମ ପ୍ରେରଣାସ୍ରୋତ, ସୁରକ୍ଷା କବଚ, ଆତ୍ମବିଶ୍ୱାସର ବାହକ ହେଉଛନ୍ତି ପିତା । ଆଜିର ଦିନକୁ ବାପାଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ସମର୍ପଣ କରାଯାଇଥାଏ।
