  • Bhai Dooj: Praying for Brothers
    Bhai Dhooj 1003 281016 Bhai Dooj: Praying for Brothers Jawhar Sircar Ananda Bazar Patrika, 13th November 2015 (English Version) It is amazing that India is the only country in the world that has special celebrations like Bhratri Dwitiya and Raksha Bandhan for siblings to shower their affections on each other. Popularly known as Bhaiya Dhuj in north India, it is Bhai Phota in Bengal and in Maharashtra, Gujarat and the Konkan, it is celebrated as Bhai Beej or Bhau Beej. In Nepal, this Bhai Tika is almost as important as Dussehra or Dashami and it is also called Yama Dwitiya in the South. While Kali Puja and Bhai Phota are two distinct religious events in Bengal separated by just two days, in most parts of India this festival is part of the five-day long Deepawali festival. For centuries, sisters have prayed for the safety of their brothers by performing a small aarti ceremony and applying a prominent phota or tika on the forehead of their brothers, as a talisman against any misfortune. We are told that Krishna's sister Subhadra was so delighted to see him unharmed after his battle with the evil demon Narakasur that she applied a sacred tilak on his forehead. This is supposed to have inspired Bhai Phota but frankly, this tilak would have been more useful before Krishna's fight. Let us admit that there are not many references to Bhai Phota in sacred literature, while Rakhi Bandhan is mentioned profusely in Bhavishya Purana, Bhagawat Purana and Vishnu Purana. It is clear that Bhai Phota has been essentially a folk ritual that has been upheld by the people themselves.

  • Dipika's Detailed 2020 Hindu Calendar Prem Namaste, Vanakkum, Jai Mata Di, Jai Shree Krsna, Jai Shree Raam We at Pray That You Are Well
    Dipika©s Detailed 2020 Hindu Calendar Prem Namaste, Vanakkum, Jai Mata Di, Jai Shree Krsna, Jai Shree Raam We at www.dipika.org.za pray that you are well... Many thanks for remaining an awesome Hindu¼ Many have asked us to compile an article on the Hindu calendar for example what are the Festivals dates and Rahu kalam . *** Do note that SOME of the information given below for the festival dates is from the S.A.H.M.S. We don't take any responsibility for the information supplied by them. We ONLY have done this for Hindu uniformity within South Africa. Should you have any issues with their dates below please do contact them on 031 3091951 or email [email protected] ***. {Another point of note is when you see a * before a prayer date it means this is not in the general Hindu calendar that Hindus have in their homes. I have added these dates because these are equally important prayer dates that sadly seems to be ignored every year.} DO NOTE:- All times indicated below, associated with the start or end of a religious day are in 24-hour format. Firstly the Festival dates are the dates that a Hindu observes. This is quite self explanatory. For example for Shree Ganesh Chaturthi, we have a full explanation of this very important festival date on our website. Many ask what is this festival all about and how does one go about celebrating it. Hence this website is meant to make people from all cultures more aware of these important Hindu festival dates.
