Makar Sankranti | Ghiu chaku khane Din
Exclusive audio
Shat Tila Karma
Using Tila seeds (Sesame) in six ways during Uttarayana (movment towards north) Parvakaala is known as Shat Tila Karma.
In our Shastras it is said that, on this Uttarayana Parvakaala day one should use Tila (Sesame) seeds in six ways that is: Sanskrit – English
Tila Snana – Bath using Sesame seeds | Tila Deepa – Light the lamp using Sesame seeds | Tila Homa – Doing homa using Sesame seeds | Tila Tarpana – Doing Tarpana using Sesame seeds | Tila Daana – Donating Sesame seeds | Tila Bhakshana – Consuming Sesame seeds.
Movement of Sun in Maghe Sakranti
May this Maghe Sakranti transform the situation, today the Sun is changing its direction from Dhanu Rashi to Makar Rashi so this particular day is also called Makar Sakranti.
Today is Maghe Sakranti, the first day of the month of Magh, an important month of mid-winter. Today the Sun enters Capricorn from Sagittarius and this day is celebrated as Maghe Sakranti, Tiluwa Sakranti, or Makar Sakranti or Maghi with its characteristics and cultural significance.
Importance of sesame in Sanatana philosophy
Sesame has a special significance in Sanatan Sanskar, whether it is for home chanting as a charu or for worship and charity or any patriarchal and good deeds, sesame is indispensable.
Tiluwa Sakranti
Today, it is famous for sesame laddu. Laddu made by frying sesame seeds and covering it in sakhkar is a special dish of today. That is why Maghe Sakranti is also called Tiluwa Sakranti.
On the other hand, we have read in geography about the North Pole and South Pole. The direction of the Sun and Earth is also calculated and measured based on the relative positions of those poles. From today the direction of Sun is moving towards North, It is believed to be decreasing and spring, as well as summer, is increasing. So this day is also called Uttarayan. We will come to that later.
Let's first rejoice Maghi.
Death of Bhsima, a Mahabharat anecdote for today
Let's talk about the religious and mythological beliefs of this day. In the Mahabharata, Bhishma Pitamah who was lying in the death bed because of the Arjun's arrow, wished for death today. This day is so auspicious for salvation and spiritual gravity, that is why Bhisma who had a boon to make a wish for his death choose this day for ending his life.
Today, there are crowds of pilgrims bathing in various ghats, rivers, and shrines, Devghat of Nawalparasi, Chatara of Sunsari, Kaligandaki bank, Setiveni of Parwat, Bagmati bank of Kathmandu Shankhamul, etc.
Maghe Sakranti of Madhes
In Madhes, Maithil and Tharu communities celebrate this festival with great harmony. In the Tharu community, this day is celebrated almost as New Year in the form of Yale Dugan.
Today, it is believed that the Kirat dynasty invaded the Kathmandu Valley and achieved victory and the same victory celebration is considered to have started as Kirat Samvat.
Maghe Sakranti in Newa community
In the Newar community, Maghe Sankranti is celebrated with the name 'Ghuchaku Salhu'. They make laddu by mixing sesame seeds in Sakhhar and eat and donate it. Today, a historical Makar fair is held in Panauti near Kathmandu Valley, this fair started from the regime of King Mandab.
Maghe Sakrani of Magars
Maghe Sankranti is also a major festival of the Magar caste in Nepal. Maghe Sankranti has been recognized as the national festival of the Magars. In the Magar community, the archery game is played today. In this festival, the Magars duly worship the daughters and ancestors for three days.
May this Maghi be as sweet as the Til ko laddu, my best wishes.
Makar Snan aramva
Makar Snan has officially started by burying Lingos (bamboo poles in the bank of Devghat), the confluence of Krishnagandaki and Trishuli rivers. On the eve of Maghe Sankranti, after the bamboo linga is buried in Dobhan, the ritual of Makar Snan officially begins. Since the Sun enters Capricorn from Sagittarius on this day, this day is called Makar Sakranti and the bath starting from today is called Makar bath.
Utmost wishes, the winter is waving goodbyes and summer is all set.
National Yoga Day
National Yoga Day
Exclusive audio
Every year, the international community observes World Yoga Day on June 21. The ancient origins and studies of yoga, recognized and valued globally, are connected to the Himalayan region, which corresponds to present-day Nepal.
Nepal observes National Yoga Day every year on Magh 1 (around mid-January). Nepal should not only be recognized as the country of Mount Everest, Buddha, and majestic Himalayas, but also as the birthplace of yoga.
During the Vedic period, sages and rishis of the Himalayas studied, researched, and propagated yoga. In the context of its near disappearance in Nepal, the government initiated National Yoga Day to raise public awareness and revive this ancient practice. On 28th Shrawan 2072 B.S., the Council of Ministers of Nepal officially decided to observe National Yoga Day on Magh 1 and entrusted the responsibility to the Ministry of Education. Later, when the Ministry of Education merged with the Ministry of Science and Technology to form the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology, this ministry formed the main organizing committee. Since 2072 B.S., the committee has been conducting various programs across the country in collaboration with different organizations and institutions working in yoga and related sciences.
Yoga is the knowledge and science capable of manifesting all the potential within humans. In the early period, yoga was considered for everyone at all times. In the medieval period, however, it was understood as a practice only for ascetics, sages, and renunciates with long beards and hair. Today, yoga is primarily associated with health.
Across Nepal, there are currently around 600 institutions and countless yoga gurus and centers. Every morning, people can be seen practicing yoga in parks, streets, and their homes. Many TV and radio channels now start their broadcasts with religion, scripture, and yoga-related programs in the morning. People of all religions and communities increasingly accept yoga as an excellent practice of eternal civilization and a unique way to elevate consciousness. Many foreigners also come to these institutions to practice yoga.
By establishing yoga and meditation centers in the mid-hill and Himalayan regions of Nepal, it is possible to promote yoga tourism. In ancient times, yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda were used to achieve mental peace, stability, and good health. Due to modern influences, Nepalis had largely forgotten these practices, but in Europe and America, yoga became popular as a method for treatment, well-being, and mental peace, which in turn increased interest in yoga. Today, yoga tourism is becoming an integral part of Nepal. With proper attention and investment from the government, there is significant potential for the growth of yoga tourism in Nepal.
The descent begins: Uttarayan Aramva
Uttarayan Aramva
Exclusive audio
The position of the sun changes twice a year. These two changes are understood as north and south. The time when the Sun appears from Capricorn to Gemini during 6 months is called Uttarayana and the time when the Sun enters from Cancer to Sagittarius is called Dakshinayan.
During the Uttarayan, the path of the Sun's orbit is gradually moving north. According to the scriptures, Uttarayan is considered a symbol of positivity, and Dakshinayan is considered a symbol of negativity. According to the scriptures, 6 months of Uttarayan is one day for the gods and 6 months of Dakshinayan is one night for the gods.
According to mythology, people who die during Uttarayan attain salvation, while those who die during Dakshinayan must be reborn, which is why these two positions of the sun are considered the path to salvation from the human world. During theUttarayan, the days are long and the nights are short. It is considered appropriate to do special auspicious deeds like marriage, house entry, fasting, etc. in Uttarayan.
Good luck everyone
