Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 JAI GANESH MARCH 16TH 2010 & TUESDAY = ALSO TODAY ONWARDS CHAITRI NAVRATRI STARTS TOO Wishing everyone a very happy and prosperous new year. The importance : 1. Major Indian festivals eg. Holi, Diwali, Raksha Bandhan, Janmashtmi are all celebrated according to the Vikrami calendar. 2. Dates for major auspicious functions are selected according to the Vikrami calendar. 3. It is the time when the harvest is ready and the new grains reach the markets. Few of the important events on this date - Chaitra Shukla Pratipada - the first day of the new year : 1. Brahmaji started the creation of the universe. 2. The crowning ceremony of Lord Rama. 3. Founding of the Arya Samaj by Swami Dayanand Saraswati. There are many religious, cultural and historic events which have a connection with this date. The importance of this date is great. It is very unfortunate that we have forgotten the significance of this date as also of the Indian dates and calendar. This day is celebrated in parts of the country but lacks the importance that it deserves. Let us all celebrate this day with great enthusiasm and make an attempt to give back the lost and forgotten glory to this date. Let us try and revive the Indian calendar to whatever extent we can. Wish all your relatives, friends, loved ones a very happy new year. HAPPY VIKRAM SAMVAT NEW YEAR ************ ********* ********* ********* Click To Join Us Click To Join Us Click To Join Us RASHMI & PRITI PRANAV & PRINESH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
