Holi Hai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

happy holi
holi gifts

Achcha ek din baad hai, phir bhi.... Hum sab to ek din se pehle hi shuru ho jaate hain naa😉

Holi (Hindi: ????), or Phagwa (Bhojpuri), is a popular, Hindu spring festival, observed in Enitire India and Nepal, also called the Festival of Colours. In West Bengal, it is known as Dolyatra (Doljatra) or Boshonto Utsav ("spring festival").


On the first day, bonfires are lit at night to signify burning the demoness Holika, Hiranyakashipu's sister.

On the second day, known as Dhulhendi, people spend the day throwing coloured powder and water at each other. The spring season, during which the weather changes, is believed to cause viral fever and cold. Thus, the playful throwing of the coloured powders has a medicinal significance: the colours are traditionally made of Neem, Kumkum, Haldi, Bilva, and other medicinal herbs prescribed by Ayurvedic doctors. A special drink called thandai is prepared, sometimes containing bhang (Cannabis sativa). People invite each other to their houses for feasts and celebrations later in the evening.

Rangapanchami occurs a few days later on a Panchami (fifth day of the full moon), marking the end of festivities involving colours.

GOOD FRIDAY

This definitely is not a reason to celebrate.... Lord Jesus, was crucified today.... But it is said that it not a day to mourn too...😊

Good FridayWe all know very well that Christmas is the day when the almighty God of Heaven and Earth came in the form of a human being to this small planet 'Earth'.

Now Good Friday is the day in which, Lord Jesus Christ who was born on Christmas day died a cruel death on the cross. Having undergone such a cruel death on this day 2000 years ago, how could the people then dare to call it as a 'Good' Friday.

Does this question spring like a gush of water within you? No doubt about it and it is quite natural for any one to think like that. Now we will try to find out some truth on this whether the people who named it were wrong or is there really some significance in the name 'Good Friday'.

Let us see what the Bible says in the Old Testament (written before the coming of Jesus) about the purpose of Jesus to come into this wretched world.

"Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; even though we thought he was being punished and afflicted for something he had done.He was wounded for our ansgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his wounds we are healed"

From the above scriptures we can well understand that Jesus came to save the world. In order to save the world, He has to undertake a very difficult path that is nothing but the cross. And in that cross, he took all of our sins on himself and died for us.

Via Crucis - 2003

In continuation of the above, we read in the New Testament (written after the death and resurrection of Jesus).

" The Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin ".

Irrespective of caste, creed or religion, the death of Jesus Christ is for the entire mankind. Anyone who believes and confesses his sins and accepts Jesus Christ as his /her personal saviour, he can truly enjoy a personal relationship with God. And also, he or she receives a hope to live eternally with this loving God.

Having understood the fact, please decide for yourself whether the day is to be called as Good or Bad….😊





Have a meaningful Good Friday and a wonderful Easter (The Day Jesus resurrected from the dead)

HAPPY EID MILAD-UL-NABI!!!!!!😛

Introduction
The festival of Eid-e-Miladulnabi is also popularly known as Barah Wafat the twelfth day. The day commemorates the birth and also the death of Prophet Mohammed. Bara Wafat falls on the twelfth day of the third month Rabi-ul-Awwal in September/October. Here, Barah or twelve, stands for the twelve days of the Prophets sickness.

The celebrations of birthday are subdued as the day also happens to be the death anniversary of Prophet Muhammad. The day is marked by holding religious discourses, reading the Holy book of Quran and giving alms to the poor.

Prophet Mohammed
Prophet Mohammed was born in 571 A.D on April12th, in Mecca in Arabia. Circa 610 AD, Prophet is said to have gained revelations from Allah through the angel Gabriel that he was His Messenger. In 622 AD Mohammed along with his followers went to Medina.

This flight from Mecca to Medina is known as Hijrah and marks the beginning of the Islamic era. By 630 AD, Islam came to be accepted as a religion and Muhammad as ruler by a large number of people. However, in 632 A.D. Muhammad led the pilgrimage to Mecca, preached his farewell sermon and died soon after.







Mawlid (Arabic: ?????) or Milad is a term used to refer to the observance of the birthday of the Islamic prophet Muhammad which occurs in Rabi' al-awwal, the third month in the Islamic calendar. The origins of the observance can be traced back to the Fatimid dynasty in eleventh century Egypt, four centuries after the death of Muhammad, as a Shia ruling class festival.

Celebrations of Eid-ul-Milad
Barah Wafat does not call for any kind of grand celebrations as the birth day and death anniversary of Prophet Mohammed coincidently falls on the same day. Hence, Muslims spend this period in spiritual activities. Special prayers meets and discourses on Quran are also organised in mosques to mark the day of Milad.

Learned men and scholars focus their sermons on the life and teachings of Prophet Mohammed and inspire people to follow the path of good life as shown in Quran. Hence, the festival gives a chance to people to introspect their deeds and think of ways of being a better person.



Besides, in some places hymns are sung and elegies or marsiyas are recited in memory of the last days of the Prophet. Acts of charity are also done by devout Muslims and alms are distributed to the poor and the needy. Later, people invite friends and relatives for a feast.

In some mosques, however, a 'sandal rite' ceremony is performed over the symbolic foot prints of the Prophet engraved in a stone. A stone imitation of buraq the horse on which Prophet Mohammed is said to have ascended to his heavenly abode is placed near the foot prints and anointed with sandal paste or scented powder. Besides, the house and casket containing this are elaborately decorated.
