One subduing the five passions has truly taken abode at holy bathing-spots (1) The mind attuned to the infinite is the true singing of ankle-bells in ritual dances. With this how dare Yama intimidate me in the hereafter ? (Pause 1) One renouncing desire is the true Sanayasi. From continence comes true joy of living in the body (2) One contemplating to subdue the flesh is the truly Compassionate Jain ascetic. Such a one subduing the self, forbears harming others.

  • Gurbani and Nanakshahi Calendar (Pal Singh Purewal, Edmonton)
    Gurbani And Nanakshahi Calendar (Pal Singh Purewal, Edmonton) Guru Nanak Sahib had spent almost a quarter of a century travelling and spreading the word in the world. Since most of his travels were on foot, he must have spent countless summer nights in the lap of nature. He observed physical phenomena, and his bani portrays some of them. It is true that his aim was not to highlight the phenomena but to impart true knowledge using them as a vehicle, since people could relate to them. From amongst such phenomena mention may be made of the formation of day and night, the month - lunar and solar, the year, the movement of the luminaries - the sun, the moon, and the stars, formation of seasons, the twelve months of the year, the tithi (lunar day), and the division of the day by man into smaller units of time such as pehar, muhurat, ghati,pal, visuaye, chasuaye, and yugas - the mega units of time. These units are the basic building blocks of Hindu calendars. Mention of these is made in Guru Granth Sahib. In Tukhari Raga Guru Sahib records the appearance of a comet in the sky. qwrw ciVAw lMmw ikau ndir inhwilAw rwm ] - pM: 1110 The Sun the moon and the stars While the sun represents heat and excitation, the moon represents coolness, comfort and solace.

  • Lohri Ayee Rey
    ' Making Byomkesh was my ...Page-44 SUNDAY, JANUARY 11, 2015 INTERNET EDITION : www.dailyexcelsior.com/magazine Akademi Awardees ....Page-33 LOHRI AYEE REY... Lalit Gupta Coming at the height of winter and ushering new foods and fruits of the season, the festival of Lohri has its roots in age old folk religion in which respect to the seasons and the natural elements of fire, wind, water and the earth is very important. Falling on January 13 this year, Lohri heralds the waning of winter and beginning of summer. This traditional belief is rooted in the scientific fact as geographically speaking the earth leans towards the sun along the Tropic of Capricorn (Makara Rekha) from the day following Lohri, also known as Winter Solstice. The earth, farthest from the sun at this point of time, starts its journey towards the sun along its elliptical orbit, thus heralding in the onset of spring. Marking the end of winter on the last day of Paush and beginning of Magha (around January 12 and 13) when the sun changes its course, Lohri is associated with the worship of the sun and fire and is observed by all communities. It is this transition which is celebrated as Lohri in northern India, Makara Sankranti in the central part of the country and as Bhogi in Andhra Pradesh, Bihu in Assam and Pongal-Sankranti in South India. Legend of Lohri There are various interesting folk stories and legends associated with this festival. One such legend popular in Punjab and Jammu is recapped in folk songs that relate to Dulla Bhatti, who lived in Punjab during the reign of Akbar.
