perfect world gold

Festivals are a great way to bond over families, good food and have a memorable time. Just to start with,,atlantica gold, let us begin with the rich and diversified heritage of India. Let us have a closer look at the festivals celebrated in India and all the folk and mythological significance surrounding them. Hardly any country celebrates as many festivals as do Indians. Festivals in India are the most celebrated occasions. You have some festival or the other every month or every fortnight. There is a festival for fire, festival for water, festival for victory of good over evil, festival of lights, festival of ,sro gold,gold and prosperity and many others like that.

Festivals not only mean celebrations. It takes into account the nature's activity and combines within itself the flavors of the flora and fauna of any region. So a single festival is celebrated across various regions in many forms. So you eat a particular kind of fruit or vegetable on a particular festival day and not otherwise. And when you are in one region you would have to celebrate the festival in one way and when you are in another part of India, the same festival will have a,dofus kamas, variant in terms of celebrations. There are of course non-believers in this theory but the essence of festivals is in following the ritual wholeheartedly. Besides it does no harm to you in anyway - physically, mentally ore otherwise. In fact it does a lot more good to you emotionally. So raise your E.Q. (Emotional Quotient) and raise a toast to the festivals of India.

All Indian festivals are based on the maasa or (Solar or Lunar) calendar months and the fortnights in each month.

Let us have some introduction to the Sanskrit Lingo of months. Chaitra (March-April), Vaishakha (April-May), Jyeshtha (May-June), Ashaada (June-July), Shraavana (July August), ,RIFT platinum,Bhaadrapada (August-September), Aashvija (September-October), Kaartika (October-November), Maargashira (November-December), Pushya (December-January), Maagha (January-February), Phaalguna (February-March).

The fortnights are called pakshas each - Shukla paksha - fortnight facing new moon Krishna paksha - fortnight facing full moon

The first festival begins with the new year, the first day of the first month of the year. Ugadi - Hindu New Year Ugadi (or Yugadi) marks the beginning of New Year and is celebrated with great fanfare across India. Yuga stands for a repeated cycle of time say 365 days or a year and Aadi stands for the beginning. Hence Ugadi is the beginning of a repeated cycle of time, a year and it comes every year!!.Hurray!! Each year is called a samvatsara and is named differently. This name repeats itself every 60 years and the so called history repeats itself - analogically. It is given to understand that what ever good or bad experiences a man faces in his life time, whatever he learns and teaches, his successes and failures, his joys and sorrows will be within ,metin2 money,his first 60 years. So coming back to celebrations, we buy new clothes and worship God the first thing in the morning wearing them. We salute our elders at home and greet our other relatives by visiting them or sending them good wish messages or over the phone. These days I guess emails and blogging also will do the trick!! We thank God for all the goodies given by Him and set aside some money in the name of God or may be donate some money to charity. It is time for some New Year resolutions too. So those - I'll get up early - I'll help somebody - I'll not crib - I'll spend less on clothes - kind of resolutions should start on this day. We exchange pleasantries with our friends and neighbors and share the sweets and savories. A special Ugadi preparation would be a thick concoction of neem flowers, raw mango and honey. To make it more attractive to children you may also add some dry fruits like cashews, almonds and raisins. It is believed that the combination of neem flowers and raw mango will improve the digestive system functioning and ward off intestinal worms for a very long time (say till next year when we again eat the same concoction!!)
