The fast of Karva Chauth is celebrated specially in north India, as a festival. This fast is observed by married women to enrich their married life. And, by worshiping Goddess, they ask for the longevity of their husband. After keeping the whole day fast, the moon is visioned in the evening and the fast is concluded. On this day of fast, Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati, Lord Ganesha and Kartikay, and moon is worshiped. In this year, this fast will be observed on 15 October 2011. Karva Chauth Celebration In this fast, mainly Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati are worshiped. This fast is observed on Chaurthi of Krishna Paksha in Kartik Mas, specially in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh. Well, according to our mythology, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati are worshiped for family’s happiness, peace and well-being. As a husband wife couple, Shiva and Parvati have both religious and mythological importance. Famous Saga of Karva Chauth Many stories are prevalent about this fast, in which one the story of one sister and seven brothers is very famous. Long time ago, there was a girl. She had seven sister, and she got married to a king. On the first Karva Chauth, the girl came to her parents house. She kept the fast of Karva Chauth, but, as it was her first Karva Chauth, she could not tolerate the hunger and thirst.She was eagerly waiting for moon to come out. Her seven brothers got upset looking at her condition. They all loved their sister a lot. They planed for conclusion of their sister’s fast. And, from behind the leaves of Pipal, they showed her fake shadow of moon in a mirror. The girl thought of this fake moon as real one and concluded her fast, by eating food. After the conclusion of fast by the girl, her husband’s health started getting worse. On listening the news of her husbands bad health, she reached her parents-in-laws house. On the way she met Lord Shanker and Goddess Parvati. Goddess Parvati told her, that her husband was dead, because she had concluded her fast by the vision of fake moon. After hearing this, the girl asked apologies for her brothers act. Goddess Parvati said her “Your husband can be alive again. But, for this you will have to complete the fast of Karva Chauth in a systematic manner.” Then, Mata Parvati, explained the whole procedure of this fast to the girl. As instructed by Goddess, the girl again observed the fast in a systematic way and got back the life of her husband. The fast of Karva Chauth is kept for the husband’s good health and longevity. In the northern India, this fast has crossed its boundaries of faith and confidence, rather, it is not influenced by the fashion and colors of this new age. Karva Chauth in A New Form The significance of Karva Chauth Vrat has increased with time. Among the modern and educated ladies, where on one side the relevance of other fast got reduced, and the fast of Karva Chauth become mode of expressing love for the lovers, fiance or husbands. Now, its not just a fast kept by the married women, but it has become the first Vrat kept by husbands for their wives. It came into view, that this fast is kept by both, husband and wife. After keeping the Vrat for each other the whole day, at night they go to a restaurant and eat food with each others hand. Today the basic motive behind this fast is mutual love and dedication. Rituals like listening to the fast story, not drinking water, offering water to moon and drinking water from husband’s hand, are tried to be followed. But, being job oriented, all the rituals are not performed systematically. On Karva Chauth, women like to embellish together with observing of fast. On this day, women wear beautiful clothes. Shops of Sarees and fashion are full with ladies. They are so very interested to go to beauty parlours. This day, ladies are not limited to make up stuff, but they go for getting Mehendi on their hands and feet, which earns Lakhs of rupees to henna market people. Standing in a long line for make is also acceptable by them today. Karva Chauth: Increasing Mutual Harmony of Married Life Profits earned by market through Karva Chauth is quite clear. But, the fast plays an important role in making married life happy and successful. Because Karva Chauth today is, not just a festival of tradition rather a source of sharing of feelings. Speciality of our culture is that the mythology has the trace of novelty. There used to be a time, when this fast was observed by ladies as an act of dedication for their husbands. But, today it has become a symbol of unity and coordination between a husband and wife. Time has made this Vrat festival more sensitive and an expression of love. observing fast for each other, strengthen the bond of realization and understanding. In the metro life, which changes with time,husband and wife don’t get to spend much time together.Both of them are job oriented. They are not able to express their emotion for each other because of the lack of time. Procedure of Karva Chauth Worship To observe the fast of Karva Chauth, after completing daily work in the early morning, God Shiva and Goddess Parvati are worshiped. Water is kept in a utensil made of mud, calendar of Karva Chauth is hung and worshiped. Married women, fast for the whole day, and worship again in the evening, and also, hear the Karva Chauth saga. In the evening, the Vrat is concluded by worshiping moon.

Wings of Butterfly

Sheela Mishra — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 01:42:10 +0000

A man once found a cocoon of a butterfly.

One day a small opening appeared.

He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole.

Then it stopped, as if it couldn’t go further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly.

He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon.

The butterfly emerged easily but it had a swollen body and shriveled wings.

The man continued to watch it, expecting that any minute the wings would enlarge and expand enough to support the body.

Neither happened!

In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around.

It was never able to fly.

What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand is that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required by the butterfly to get through the opening was a way of forcing the fluid from the body into the wings so that it would be ready for flight once that was achieved.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. Going through life with no obstacles would cripple us. We will not be as strong as we could have been and we would never fly.

Farq sirf itna sa tha

Teri doli uthi, Meri mayyat uthi,
Phool tujh par bhi barse, Phool mujh par bhi barse,

Farq sirf itna sa tha,
Tu saj gayi, mujhe sajaya gaya .

Tu bhi ghar ko chali,

Main bi ghar ko chala,

Farq sirf itna sa tha,
Tu uth ke gayi, mujhe uthaya gaya .

Mehfil wahan bhi thi,
Log yahan bhi the,

Farq sirf itna sa tha
Unka hasna wahan,
Inka rona yahan.

Kazi udhar bhi tha, Molvi idhar bhi tha,
Do bol tere pade, Do bol mere pade,
Tera nikah pada, Mera janaaza pada,

Farq sirf itna sa tha
Tujhe apnaya gaya ,
Mujhe dafnaya gaya.

Mujhe itna pyar na do baba

Sheela Mishra — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:28:53 +0000

Beti says:

Mujhe itna pyar na do baba ..
Kal jane mujhe naseeb na ho..
Ye jo matha chuma karte ho ..
Kal is per shikan ajeeb na ho..

Mein jab bhi roti hun baba,
Tum ansu poncha karte ho..
Mujhe itni dur na bhejana,
Mein roun aur tum kareeb na ho…

Mere naaz uthate ho baba
Mujhpe laad lutate ho baba
Meri choti choti khwahish per
Tum jaan lutate ho baba..

Kal aisa ho ek nagri mein
Mein tanha tum kO yaad karun..
Aur ro ro kar faryad karun,
Ae bhagwan mere baba sa,

Koi pyar jatane wala hO,
Mere naaz uthane wala hO..

Mere baba muj se wada karo!
Mujhe tum chupa kar rakho ge
Duniya ki zalim nazron se

Father replied:

Har dam aisa kab ho paya hai..
Jo soch rahi ho laado tum
Wo sab to bas ek maya hai
Koi baap apni beti ko
Kab jane se rok paya hai
Sach kehte hain duniya wale
Beti to dhan paraya hai
Ghar ghar ki yehi kahani hai
Duniya ki reet purani hai
Har baap nibhata aya hai
Tere baba ko bhi nibhana hai…

A Different Truth

Sheela Mishra — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 18:31:49 +0000

A Different Truth

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”

The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”

I wrote: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”

Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have.. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling…

And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

Enjoy your day with a heart of gratitude.

Happy Karwa Chauth

Sheela Mishra — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 20:01:20 +0000

October 7th is Karwa Chauth in India, a festival celebrated by married women for the well being and signifies extreme love and devotion to the husband. The women fast for a full one whole day, don’t even drink water, to signify the length of suffering they are prepared to go for their spouse’s well being and long life.

Karwa Chauth is derived from two words, Karwa and Chauth. Karwa means a clay pot and Chauth means the fourth night after a full moon or a new moon. In this instance it means the fourth day after the full moon in the month of Kartik, based on the hindu calendar system.

The fasting, which is considered of real importance amongst the married women of India, begins with the moon rise on the third night after the full moon of Kartik month. This fasting is started in the presence of the husband and the women do not partake of any food or drink until the next moon rise.

On the fourth night after the full moon of the Kartik month, the women wait eagerly for the moon to rise. They wear their best clothing and jewelery, which is mostly provided by the parents or siblings of the wife. As soon as the moon is visible the festivities begin and the fast is broken by the wife.

The wife first prays to the moon and seeks blessings and then looks towards the moon though a “Channi”, sieve. The wife then looks at the husband through the sieve and the husband offers the wife with some sweet or any other food to break her fast. The wife then touches the husbands feet and seeks blessings from him that she will be her wife forever and ever, in this life and other lives to come.
