जेठ शुक्ल षष्ठी
भोटो जात्रा
Exclusive audio
The sky-touching chariot is constructed in Sikhar pattern (Mountain like pattern), the wooden edifice is about 15 to 20 meters in height and 4.5 meters in diameter. From the construction of the Chariot to the Bhoto Jatra, this longest Jatra has a process of 2 months and today is the main day.
Story of Bhoto Jatra
Bhoto Jatra relates the incident of finding a real owner of a divine vest 9Bhoto) which was gifted to a farmer by a serpent king. People of eight localities in Patan—Natol, Gabahal, Mekhabahal, Kusunti, Kayanni, Walmaya, Dhaugol, and Sachhi Chhe—usually lead the Machhindranath chariot procession. This chariot brings an ancient relevance, it is believed that ancient Lichivi King Narendra Deb brought the idol of Rato Matsandrnath from Assam India to rid his kingdom of the drought. This chariot procession also marks the beginning monsoon in Nepal, clouds have arrived with water and hope within.
Avalokitswora has an eye upon us and his grace is pervasive. Utmost wishes of the chariot procession.
Sithi Nakha
सिथि नख:
Exclusive audio
According to the Newa civilization and rites, the Sithi Nakha festival is celebrated every year on the day of Jeshtha Shukla Sashti.
Just as Kathmandu is popular as a city of temples, so is Kathmandu a city of pottery and ponds, wells, stone fountains, and boreholes. Considering the cleanliness and orderliness of these things which are very important for water resources, it has become a custom to celebrate Sithi Nakh. Today, the importance of Sithi Nakha to Kathmandu and Kathmandu residents has increased even more.
Highlights of Sithi Nakha
This festival also highlights the importance of water source conservation and the need for clean water. Today, it is customary to worship around wells, boreholes, and ponds and to clean up before worship. In this way, after everyone has gathered and worshiped, the far-reaching ritual of being religiously and culturally compelled not to litter there throughout the year is commendable.
It is believed that the water resource should be closed for a few days after cleaning in Sithi Nakha to stabilize the water level. When water is cleaned, it is cleaned by entering inside the dug wells, ponds, and boreholes, and by doing so, the underneath wastes like mud, silt, and sediment come up to the surface of the water. After cleaning the spring in this way, milk, ghee, honey, curd, and other things are added there. There is a fact that the water source in the Kathmandu valley is not as clean and full as before, resources have degraded because of rapid urbanization and mismanaged constructions/ habitat.
No matter how much rain falls, there is a cement floor around it, so the water source will not be able to absorb the rain. Due to this, most of the water sources are drying up and the people of the valley have to depend on pipes, tankers, and jars for water.
Activities on Sithi Nakha
On the day of Sithi Nakha, after the collective cleaning of the water source, it is customary to go to each other's home to greet and the welcome is delivered also through offering traditional Newa food such as Bara, Chatamari, Choyala, etc. On the same day, Chandi Devi is worshiped at Chaskhel in Bhaktapur and Kumar Kartikeya (Son of Lord Shiva and Parwati) is worshipped at Jaisidebal Kathmandu. Kumar Kartikeya is referred to by the community as a picture of eight lotus flowers placed at the entrance of his house or an artistic expression carved in metal, the entrance of a traditional Newa home is decorated by such artistic metal lotus.
Want to talk a little bit about Kumar Kartikeya, this son of Shivaji is described in the Puranas as a colonel in a supernatural army, referred to as Mahasenani. This strong man, Kumar, who can kill demons like Tarakasur is also described as the son of Ganga. It is said in the Puranas that he had six heads and was on the banks of the Ganges at the time of his birth. The river Ganga itself flows through Shivaji's Jata, so the form of Ganga has a lot to do with the water and its purity.
A unique blend of environment, milieu, and lifestyle, this festival has been teaching us the lesson of water and spring sanitation for centuries. Public awareness programs are being run in the Nepali community through foreign projects, from hand washing to drinking clean water. If we look closely, our ancient traditions are scientific and transformative in themselves. Good luck to Sithi Nakh: May our water source and mind be both pure and clean.
Global Day Of Parents
यो छोरा बढ्ला कमाई गर्ला दुधभात देला मलाई
यो छोरी बढ्ली कमाई गर्ली दुधभात देली मलाई
These daughters and sons will grow up and feed us, be our companions in helpless times. This is a super slogan in Nepali households, today I go direct, no roles and no diplomacies, direct and clear on the living gods, parents, and their contribution to sustain this creation. Why will be the responsibility of parents stuck only in the availability of milk rice and dal rice? These obsolete rice and milk are just metaphors, love, harmony, respect, embrace, and remembrance are based on the construction of the whole creation and the parents are the creator.
Whether you are abroad or away from your parents at home, you may have fulfilled your responsibility by sending money to your parents and giving them accommodation, but there is no limit to the responsibility and roles towards parents.
Wherever you are, what is in your hand today, use that, be it mobile or telephone or any other devices use it and say a sentence to your parents. If you are not with your parents, remember them. The fourth Sunday in July has been celebrated by American society as National Parents 'Day, which is now celebrated as World Parents' Day.
Our world matures with us, our parents are getting older as our lives are growing up, and the steps we have learned to walk holding their hands shall repeat the same thing as they grow adults and parents get elder, this transformation is life.
Background of world parents day
During the 1980's, the United Nations began focusing attention on the issues related to the family. In 1983, based on the recommendations of the Economic and Social Council, the Commission for Social Development in its resolution on the Role of the family in the development process (1983/23) requested the Secretary-General to enhance awareness among decision makers and the public of the problems and needs of the family, as well as of effective ways of meeting those needs.
Children who scatter photos on social media with different expressions on the day they see their mother's face may or may not go to talk, express affection, and meet their mother on other days. People observe various fasting but in reality, they find it annoying to feed even a single meal to their parents or in-laws at home.
It is important for everyone to understand the importance of parents. Today's children are tomorrow's parents and parenthood is a relay race. Be a good child and a good parent, utmost love.
Mother is god, the father is god.
