EID AL-FITR

Eid al-Fitr also called the “Festival of Breaking the Fast” or Lesser Eid, or simply Eid, is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan.

It falls on the first day of Shawwal in the Islamic calendar; this does not always fall on the same Gregorian day, as the start of any lunar Hijri month varies based on when the new moon is sighted by local religious authorities. The holiday is known under various other names in different languages and countries around the world.

Eid al-Fitr was originated by the Islamic prophet Muhammad. According to certain traditions, these festivals were initiated in Medina after the migration of Muhammad from Mecca. Anas, a well-known companion of the Islamic prophet, narrated that, when Muhammad arrived in Medina, he found people celebrating two specific days in which they entertained themselves with recreation and merriment. At this, Muhammad remarked that Allah had fixed two days of festivity: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

E: Embrace with open heart
I: Inspire with impressive attitude
D: Distribute pleasure to all

EID Mubarak!

INTERNATIONAL NURSES DAY

Florence Nightingale (12 May 1820 – 13 August 1910) was an English social reformer, statistician and the founder of modern nursing. Nightingale came to prominence while serving as a manager and trainer of nurses during the Crimean War, in which she organised care for wounded soldiers at Constantinople. She gave nursing a favourable reputation and became an icon of Victorian culture, especially in the persona of “The Lady with the Lamp” making rounds of wounded soldiers at night.

THE SPOKEN WORD

GITA WISDOM # 64

Chapter 17 verse 15

अनुद्वेगकरं वाक्यं सत्यं प्रियहितं च यत्‌।
स्वाध्यायाभ्यसनं चैव वाङ्‍मयं तप उच्यते॥

The chief executive shall utter words which offend none. The utterances shall be sweet, beneficial, truthful and shall be in praise of the omniscience. These are the processes of the mental penance. (17.15)

जो उद्वेग न करने वाला, प्रिय और हितकारक एवं यथार्थ भाषण है (मन और इन्द्रियों द्वारा जैसा अनुभव किया हो, ठीक वैसा ही कहने का नाम ‘यथार्थ भाषण’ है।) तथा जो वेद-शास्त्रों के पठन का एवं परमेश्वर के नाम-जप का अभ्यास है- वही वाणी-सम्बन्धी तप कहा जाता है ॥15॥

Have a nice weekend!
