HINDU Festivals No.12.

[Guest guest]

Dear friends and devotees,

 

Bhakti is eternal,

 

12. Parshu Rama Jayanti

 

(Vaisakha Suddha Tadiya)

 

This day normally comes in the month of Vaisakha on the third day of the

waxing moon (shukla paksha).This is the day of birth of God Vishnu’s sixth

incarnation, Parshurama. He is considered to be the personification of valour

and of devotion to father and mother.

In ancient times, this birth day of the valorous and vain Brahmin born

Kshatriya tempered Parshuram, was celebrated with great pomp and show.

Later on during the medieval and modern periods, this celebration was rarely

arranged; but now with the reawakening of Hinduism in India, the birth day of

Parshuram has regained its prominence. Processions and satsangs (congregation

for religious purpose)are arranged in most of the towns, particularly in

Northern India

This day is also known as Akshaya Trutiya (eternal third), because of the

belief that the merit obtained by good acts on this day is permanent. Of the

three and a half muhurtas of the year, this day is half a muhurta (a time of

good omen).

With love and regards,

 

Sastry.
