Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Reminder from the Calendar of /cal TEEJ Friday July 28, 2006 All Day (This event does not repeat.) Event Location: Nepal Notes: Teej" is a three-day long festival of religious fasting for all Hindu married women and girls who have reached puberty. According to the holy books, the Goddess Parvati fasted and prayed fervently for the great Lord Shiva to become her spouse. Touched by her devotion, he took her for his wife. Goddess Parvati, in gratitude, sent her emissary to preach and disseminate this religious fasting among mortal women, promising prosperity and longevity with their family. Thus was born the festival of Teej. Set up birthday reminders! http://us.rd./cal_us/rem/?/cal?v=9&evt_type=13 Copyright 2006 Inc. . http://www. http://privacy./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
