Puja At Dhakalthok Home

 Dhakathok home Panchamul Syangja to Sirindada travelogue and puja rituals with foodie have been my routine since my childhood and I love the friends who always chat ,call and sms with memo to Baba Bard Goriya Temple ,Sunwal ,Nawalparasi and the topic is same ,how do we manage puja at home and why do we follow traditions with parents ,the reasons of being loved to be loved something we do not understand as a part of Dasein,Dasein is a German word that means "being there" or "presence and is often translated into English with the word "existence". It is a fundamental concept in the existential philosophy of Martin Heidegger, particularly in his magnum opus Being and Time.

In the Hindu Culture, daily puja is considered as the simplest way to convey our ode to the supreme almighty for bestowing us with this life and fulfilling all our wishes based on our Karmas. It is a humble way to ferry our gratitude to the lord and the tradition past ages. From the time of Rishis, Daily Puja has gained its importance both as a spiritual practice and Aaradhana. This sacred activity performed during the morning is the best way to start a day and it connotes the popular Sanskrit saying, “Sarve Janah Sukhino Bhavanthu” meaning wishing good for all.

If we honour God by performing His puja in an appropriate manner, just as the respectful way in which we treat a guest, then God will be pleased with us and shower His abundant grace upon us. Hence, the scriptures have taught us to abide by Dharma (Righteousness) in a ritualistic and bhāv (Spiritual emotion) enriched manner by teaching us to worship God in sixteen sequential steps, such as invoking God, offering Him a seat, offering Him water to wash His Holy feet etc. Performing puja in this manner is known as Shodashopachar puja, that is, puja performed using sixteen specific substances.

We get the benefit of sankalpa–shakti (Energy of resolve) of our Omniscient Sages only if we perform puja vidhi as advised by our scriptures. While performing puja as mentioned in the scriptures, utmost devotion and bhav are equally important. If there is a lack of love and devotion for God while performing puja vidhi, then it does not reach Him; for, God yearns for bhav.         Offering the upachars that have been performed strictly as per the science mentioned in the Scriptures and with an antahkaran full of faith unto the Deity, is termed puja of a Deity. Only then it is as per the expectations of the Deity, and can be called ‘puja’ in the true sense.

According to Buddhism, the world in which we live and all that happens to us is a result of our past actions. Past harmful actions create unhappy results and skillful actions create happy results. One way to purify obstacles we experience due to our past harmful action is through prayers and pujas. A puja is a special ceremony in which prayers are offered to the Buddhas to request their blessings or invoke their help.

The power of prayers derives from the sincere motivation of the person asking for prayers, as well as the pure mind of the persons performing the prayers.  It is said that prayers performed by ordained ones are especially powerful and effective as they are done on the basis of pure morality. But most importantly, making offerings to the different manifestations of enlightened beings, and to the sangha community generates and increases merit, our positive potential. Merit is needed to have success in all activities. 

Pujas are performed to avert and clear the three types of obstacles which arise due to the lack of merit, which prevent us from achieving our worldly and spiritual goals. Removing these obstacles will help us to achieve happiness and good fortune in all our activities.

Granny starts her lecture at Dhakalthok home where she has been running after puja bidhi with uncles and aunt.A Hindu family home is incomplete without a temple; irrespective of the home’s size, a temple, big or small or a puja room (if permitted by the space) is installed in a household. A home temple or the puja room is considered to be an integral part of the family as it plays a major role as the center of religion, belief, traditions and congregation. It is also the basis of Hindu Dharma.

One of the most visible external symbols of Hindu identity is the mark that many of us wear on our forehead. Origin of this practice is unclear. But, in ancient times, when the Varna system predominated, people used to apply tilaks differently that represented their Varna. Brahmins applied a white chandan mark signifying purity. Kshatriyas wore a red tilak that signified their valour. Vaishyas wore a yellow (usually turmeric) tilak which signified prosperity as they were traders. The Sudras applied a black tilak representing their service to all the above three Varnas.

But later, the tilaks were used to denote which Sampradaya one belongs to. The worshippers of Lord Vishnu wore a tilak in the shape of 'U'.

Girinagar Delhi ,A Short Walk From Govindpuri Delhi

My journey of visiting Girinagar Delhi is the most favorite thing in my life as home city I love Girinagar and the yummy street food and foodie life is the most interesting aspect of my life.The map of Girinagar in google mapcarta gives me multiple ideas make the interesting as they provide the various details of Girinagar Delhi.The closest stations to Govind Puri are:

 Govind Puri Metro Station is 115 meters awan walk 

 

Govindpuri Metro is 115 meters away, 2 min walk 

 

Kalkaji Mandir is 361 meters away, 5 min walk.

• The first favorite food is lemonade.The lemonade jar has a steel lid fixed with a handle. Enclosed in a layer of salted crushed ice, the jar is gently shaken around to ensure that the lemonade freezes uniformly into ice.
  
  When a customer arrives, the vendor opens the lid, crushes the lemonade ice, ladles it into a plastic glass, adds masala powder and spikes it further by squeezing a lemon. The iciness jolts you out of your heat-induced stupor. Nothing like a glass of chilled Nimbu Paani to refresh you, even on the hottest and most tiring of days! This rejuvenating drink is made of lemon juice, flavoured with the right proportions of salt and sugar. Cumin seeds powder and black salt add a real peppy dimension to this tangy drink. Although ready-mixes are available for Nimbu Paani, this homemade version will outdo them any day in terms of flavour, aroma and the overall refreshing effect.A punchier version of shikanji is banta, Delhi slang for lemon soda. Sealed with a glass ball called kancha, banta bottles are easily spotted in the North Campus area of Delhi University or any other busy markets, such as Lajpat Nagar.With its strong masala and extra lemon drops, it is very tart.

  Instructions

• Add 2 cups of water, add lemon juice to it.Add sugar.
• Mix well until sugar is completely dissolved.Add roasted jeera powder,black salt and salt.
• Mix well.Get ready with all your ingredients.Take your serving glasses, add ice cubes.
• Pour lemon juice.Add lemon slice and mint leaves and serve chilled.

Love For Parathas in Delhi

Delhi is known for 3 things – being the capital city of the most diverse country in the world, its rich history & the food!Delhiites take their food seriously. They have streets like Chandni Chowk & Parathewali Gali that is dedicated to serving Delhi’s delicious dishes. They have food walks for breakfast & tea-time that goes hand-in-hand with sightseeing. 

Delhi is also the birthplace of Butter Chicken & chaat (tangy street food).From Chandni Chowk to Majnu ka Tilla, Delhi is replete with many culinary delights.If you ask a Delhiite what are two things that really stand out for them about the city, it would be the rich history and the mouth-watering food.If you haven't eaten the deep-fried golden Aloo Parathas from Gali Paranthe Wali in Old Delhi, then you have surely missed out the best Delhi has to offer! The list of parathas available here is endless -- aloo, besan, methi, nimbu-pudina, bhindi, gaajar, etc. You'll also find a banana paratha, which can be ordered as a dessert.

Aloo Paratha is an easy to make North Indian breakfast dish. This traditional breakfast recipe is perfect for weekend mornings and is a complete meal in itself, this paratha recipe tastes great when served with raita and pickle.

• Step 1
  To make this paratha recipe, boil the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl. In the potatoes, add chopped onions, green chillies, coriander leaves, salt, garam masala powder, chaat masala and mix well so that no lumps remain. Ensure that you have finely chopped the onions or the filling will come out.
• 
  Step 2
  Put wheat flour in a large mixing bowl. Add water gradually and knead into a soft dough. Make small-medium balls of the dough and roll them out into 3 to 4 inch circles. Add a spoonful of potato filling in the centre. Gradually press the rolling pin on all sides while making the parathas. Be very careful to apply pressure evenly. It is very important to insure that your potato mixture is mashed well and not lumpy or you will never be able to make perfect parathas.
• 
  Step 3
  Seal the dough and round it with the your fingers. Now roll them with a rolling pin into round parathas. Apply the pressure very evenly and gently on all sides.
• 
  Step 4
  Press very lightly so that the mixture does not come out. Heat a girdle and roast the parathas, cooking them on both the sides with a spoonful of butter. If you want to use less butter on the parathas, first roast them on both the sides on low flame and when they are slightly crispy, apply butter with brush on both the sides.
• 
  Step 5
  Serve piping hot with chilled yoghurt or pickle. You can also serve the aloo parathas with green chutney or coconut chutney or a light gravy. Ideally a light potato shorba goes best with aloo ka paratha. You can also make a quick onion-tomato-green chilli raita that tastes amazing with this paratha.
  
  
  
  
  Delhi and Delhi-ites are known as much for their insatiable appetites as they are for the unending variety of food found in the city. Any cuisine, Indian or international, you name it, we have it. But what really captures the essence of the city is the street food that changes colour and taste but gets only better with discovering the city.
  
  
  
  Another factor which you need to take care of is- the time of eating Parathas (or any heavy meal for that matter). There is a reason Punjabi’s eat Parathas for breakfast folks! They are rich in carbs, giving your body the energy to stay put for the day ahead. If you consume this bulk load of energy after the noon time, you wont do any favours to your metabolism. So savour this delicious and healthy treat every now and then taking care of the above factors and you wont hear your appetite complaining!
  
  
  Paratha also known as a flatbread is the traditional staple of the Indian subcontinent. Parathas can be eaten as a breakfast dish, lunch or as a snack. It is delicious, mouth-watering and a healthy Indian homemade food.  For a healthy version of Paratha, switch to other flour options such as Ragi, Jowar, Bajra, rather than wheat flour.  Also, avoid stuffing your paratha with potatoes. You can use various vegetables along with Potatoes as stuffing.
  
  
  
  
  Paratha’s made of whole wheat and other flours are more nutritious as it contains Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6 and B9. Paratha prepared without oil or ghee is a good diet food as it has low calories and low fat value which helps in weight reduction. Parathas made of whole grains are easy to digest, prevents gallstones formation, helps to improve metabolic disorders and reduces the risk of cancer. 
  
  
  
  
  Parathas can be made healthier by adding oats, Soya, Chickpea and Ragi flour as this will enhance the fibre intake and nutritional value.The joy of eating those butter-laden parathas with curd and pickle is above all. Moreover, they taste all the more scrumptious during the chilly months. We're sure all of you would agree to that. Delhi is home to unique parathas that are loaded with unusual fillings. If you're bored of having those regular stuffed parathas and want to surprise your taste buds with something new and exciting then head to these places mentioned below and devour them with a piping hot cup of adrak wali chai.
  
  
  
  

Celebration Of Festivals At Dhakalthok Home ,Panchamul Syangja,Nepal

Festivals are part of our life and they make our days happier.This Navaratree has lots of stories at home and we just ran about the food festive mood.The concept of festivals have emerged from the desire of celebrating what we have in our hands, what we have achieved. The celebrations also display our hopes for what we want in future, in the time to come. The last day and the first day of a year in any calander are celebrated all over the world. This signifies that something has ended; and a new era is beginning.

Keeping this situation in mind, if we see the concept of celebrating the festivals, then the modus operandi of such celebrations need a methodical change. If the festivals are for reducing the stress in general, we need certain changes. Take the case of a festival like Diwali. We purchase new clothes; we eat sweets; we go for visiting religions places and meet our friends and relatives. These things cost money. There is a big class in our society that hardly can afford such luxuries. For them there is no meaning of Diwali or any other festival. But they would keep looking at all of those who enjoy through the richness of their pockets. The poor people would feel the state of alienation; they would feel inferior; they would even feel being cheated, thinking that the wealthy people have kept their opportunities blocked by occupying major sources of income.

Hinduism is the only religion in the world which has emphasised to such an extent the motherhood of God.To celebrate a good harvest and to propitiate the nine planets, women also plant nine different kinds of food grain seeds in small containers during these nine days and then offer the young saplings to the goddess.During Navaratri, some devotees of Durga observe a fast and prayers are offered for the protection of health and property. A period of introspection and purification, Navaratri is traditionally an auspicious time for starting new ventures. 

Navaratri (nine nights) is one of the greatest Hindu festivals. It symbolises the triumph of good over evil. Navratri takes place at the beginning of October around harvest time and, as the name implies, this festival is celebrated for nine days. Navratri is also known as Durga Puja.

There has been multiple stories about Navaratree or Chitre Dashai at Dhakalthok home ,we love our uncles doing PUJA at Kul Mandir of Dhakalthok home Syangja Panchamul.Also, Brahmin do kul puja remembering dead relatives in a 2/3 years gap which varies in classes of Brahmin. In most of the homes, it is compulsory to bath in the morning and worshipping god. Without puja in morning, day is not started.In marriage ceremony, bridegroom goes in the house of bride to marry her. They both worship fire and god and take around fire promising each other not to leave each other’s support, love in front of family, friends and relatives. Bride has to go in the house of bridegroom after marriage.

Also, for the adult boys, there is an important ritual which is compulsory for all boys of Brahmin castewhich is Bratabanda. It should at the appropriate age but nowdays many of the boys perform this custom just before marriage. The boy has to shave head and after this, sister has to put oil on his head and ear. For a boy, without bratabandha, marriage is incomplete.

Brahmin are much more involved in religion and in the home of this caste,t he family is well mannered. When a female of home is in the period then,s he is kept in separate room without allowing to touch any food and other members, too. They are not allowed to go in kitchen, puja room. They are not even allowed to enter to temple. Only after five days,s he can worship in temple and can make food. It is a good thing in one way, because she is not allowed to do works then in period, she can get enough rest.

But, by another way, it is bad too. Girl is kept in one room only and if she needs anything then she should call other family members. But, by the modernization of the world, the conservative view of Brahmin is somehow being changed. So, lately in many families, girls are allowed for other activities except cooking food and worshipping God during her periods.

On the 12^th day after birth, the Namakaran( Naming) ceremony is conducted with puja. The people involved in the baby naming ceremony are the paternal and maternal grandparents, parents of new born baby and relatives and friends.There are lots of stuff of Dhakalthok Home Syangja Panchamul and my diary gets closed as the lunchtime call by mom causes to have the prasad at home.

Mom Made Tori Saag At Dhakalthok Home

This is my picture taken at home.I just love to take selfies since childhood and the charm of being happy as kid is inexpressible and the selfie culture with recipes as foodie makes me able to taste tea plants to mango seeds which are different in flavor and my mom with her recipes make the days more interesting.It’s evident that at first, you will find yourself following the strong scent to gradually transcend to your own memories of tori-ko-tel. My father enjoyed the smell of tori, and often while cooking, he would tell me with pride (as though he had made the tori-ko-tel himself), “Tori-ko-tel is our Nepali oil, and it’s very healthy; you are thinking it smells, but this is not an odor, it’s an aroma. Wrap yourself into it, and you will understand why I am saying what I am saying.”

What I love about this Sarson ka Saag is that it’s so thick and luxurious. Some of you may be wondering if you can make this saag using just spinach – don’t do it. Using spinach alone will make for a thinner saag. The mustard greens thicken it up and make for much better texture. I use an equal portion of mustard greens and spinach but you can add more mustard greens if you prefer.

Consuming mustards on a regular basis will broaden your nutrient consumption, provide you with energy, as well as include a distinctive splash of color to just about any dish you prepare. Mustard greens offer an abundant mixture of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber as well as protein. There are numerous advantages of ingesting mustard greens.

Mustard greens supply the greatest amounts of three powerful antioxidants: vitamin K, vitamin A and vitamin C. Also, they are an excellent source of manganese, folate and also vitamin E. Vitamin E, C and A help destroy free radicals, which damage the cell membranes. Together they provide wonderful benefits to people struggling with asthma, heart diseases and menopausal symptoms.

Mustard greens help to prevent cancer because of anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties present in it. Research indicates that it can be useful in preventing cancers of bladder, colon, breast, lungs, prostrate and ovary.

Mustard greens are a fantastic method of obtaining dietary fiber. It encourages good colon health, manage metabolism and also help with digestion.An excellent source of both calcium and potassium, mustard greens encourages good bone health and assists in preventing bone diseases like brittle bones.

Carcinogen within tobacco smoke causes vitamin A insufficiency, which in turn leads to emphysema. This cycle could be reversed by consuming a diet abundant with vitamin; therefore, mustard greens are helpful in maintaining healthy lungs.

As we grow older, our mental performance usually diminishes. Studies have demonstrated that ingesting three servings of green leafy vegetables every single day might help reduce the loss of mental function simply by 40%.

Vitamin C in mustard greens aids in the breakdown of an inflammatory substance, histamine, that is overproduced in people struggling with asthma. Moreover, the magnesium content helps relax the bronchial tubes and lungs.

Mustard greens is prepared in North India in a traditional manner popularly called sarson ka saag. Apart from this, mustard greens can also be cooked with lentils or incorporated in soups or even pasta. They are also used preparing healthy and delicious salads.

RECIPES OF SARSO OR TORI SAAG AT HOME

First of all, break off the root of the saag and then break the saag into two halves. Then wash it properly, at least three times or until no mud remains at the bottom of the container in which you wash the saag. If you are not careful enough, then you might end up biting mud along with your saag. After washing it, drain the water and keep the saag aside. Now, heat a pan and add oil into it.

 Add the thyme seed when the oil is hot. Then, break the red chili into two halves and put it in the oil. Be careful while doing so, as the chili might burst and hurling the hot oil splinter towards you. When the chilies turn golden brown, put the saag into it and add salt over it. Let it cook for few minutes and keep stirring it occasionally. It slowly starts to shed water and the saag is ready when the water dries. You could also add tomatoes if you like, however that completely depends upon your taste. This healthy saag tastes great with rice or even roti.

Chaite Dashain falls generally in the final month, Chaitra, of Bikram Sambat calendar. It is known as Chaite Dashain or Small Dashain. The big Dashain falls in autumn.  

It is almost the last festival in Nepali calendar year. After this festival, we have a new year ahead within few days. This festival has two days of celebration. First day is Ram Navami (The birth day of Lord RamChandra) and second day is Dashami. Some part of Nepal and India, Chaite Dashain is called Chaitra Navaratri.

This festival has same days of importance as the 10 days of Bijaya Dashami even though it is publicly celebrated for 2 days.

Chaite Dashain is celebration of the victory of good over evil. 

When is Ram Nawami and Chaite Dashain

Ram Navami is on Chaitra Sukla Navami according to Hindu lunar calendar.

How do we celebrate Chaite Dashain

  

People keep fasting in the day of Ram Nawami and visit temples of Lord Ram. In Chaite Dashain day Goddess Durga is worshiped and animal sacrifices are made in some temples especially in temples of Durga Bhawani. Number of water buffalos, goats, chicken and ducks are sacrificed in Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square in Kathmandu and Bhaktapur Durbar square.

This festival is the public holiday in Nepal. People enjoy the day off with their family and friends. People eat good food and invite relatives and loved one for the feast.  

Story Behind the celebrating Chaite Dashain

Ram Nawami is birthday of Lord Ram Chandra and Chaite Dashain is the day when Lord Ram came back to Ayodhaya with his wife Sita, brother Laxman, Hanuman and his military after 14 years of his exile. People of Ayudhya celebrated this day as a festival and this started the trend. 

In Hinduism, Lord Ram is the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He is known as Maryada Purusottam Ram. He was dutiful and obeying. He was a great king, good husband and a great son. He showed the example of what human should be.

He set an example of a son by accepting his exile for 14 year from his country only to fulfill his father’s promise. He set an example of a caring and loving king, who sent his wife to forest again to satisfy his countrymen.  He was a loving husband who was always loyal to his wife Sita. He did not marry anyone even for the biggest Yagya, Ashwamegh Yagya. He put golden statue of Sita with him to perform the Yagya. (Wife should be present together with the man performing this Yagya.) Ram Chantra is an example of a man. Ramayana is a way of living epic.  

Ravan was the king of Lanka. He was one of the most brilliant persons living in his age. He was an engineer and a scientist. He was the first one to fry aircraft and first one to use bio diesel about 5000 years ago. He had ten heads and could think equally with all his ten heads.  The ten heads signifies, his brilliance, he was ten times brilliant than anyone living those days on the earth. He was believed to be brilliant enough to build a flying device. The aircraft made by Ravan is called Puspak Biman. He was very hard working and brilliant but he was too arrogant. He was not allowing saints and god believing people to perform their worship and started thinking himself as a God. He was very impressed by beauty of Sita and abducted her from the forest and flew her to Lanka in his Puspak Biman. Ram after a long battle killed him and freed Sita. The kingdom was given in the safe hands of Ravan’s brother Bibhisan. 

The victory of lord Ram over Ravan is symbolically regarded as the victory of human being over the ten sense organs, five belonging to knowledge and 5 to the actions of us Human Beings. It is said Ram Chandra worshiped Goddess Durga Bhawani for 9 days before Ravan was killed. Therefore, these 9 days are regarded as worship days and tenth day is the victory day to take Prasad. 

People used to celebrate the big Dashain (Bada Dashain) during this time. But due to the start of summer, people started suffering a lot form health problem due to heavy food they eat during this festival.  Therefore, the same festival is moved to autumn with same celebration.    

TODAY IS 23 RD MARCH ,PANCHAMI OF NAVARATREE 2018

The fifth manifestation of Durga is Skandmata who is worshiped on the fifth day of the Navratri also known as Panchami. Goddess Skandamata is depicted as a four-armed deity, who carries a lotus in two of her arms with a Kamandalu and a bell. She is also seen carrying little Kartikay on her lap. Kartikay is also known as Skanda, hence giving the goddess the name of Skandamata. Her posture is calm and serene. She is seated on a lotus, but a lion is also her vehicle. A bhog is offered to the goddess and it is said to keep the devotees in good health.

Worshiped on the sixth day (Shashti) of Navratris, Goddess Katyayani is a form of Shakti who is depicted as having four arms, and cDurga Asthami or the eight day of Navratris is dedicated to Goddess Mahagauri. As per the scriptures, Mahagauri worshiped as the four-armed deity who rides on a bull or a white elephant. She carries a trishul and a damru. When Parvati decided to go on an austere penance to beget Lord Shiva as her consort, she renounced all comforts and lived in a forestarrying a sword. She rides a lion, and can be pleased with true devotion and piety. She is the daughter of Sage Katyayan. Devotees offer honey as prasad to Goddess Katyayani. Her blessings fill their lives with sweetness and help them get rid of bitter troubles.

Goddess Kaalratri is worshiped on the seventh day of Navratris. According to the Hindu scriptures, Goddess Kaalratri is etched as a four-armed deity who rides a donkey. She carries a sword, a trident and a noose. She is the fierce form of Durga, dark and ferocious in appearance. She possesses three eyes on her forehead that are known to contain the entire universe. She breathes fierce flames of fire, and lustrous rays emanate from her. Fierce on the outside, Kaalratri bestows her true devotees protection from evil-powers and spirits.

She also holds a lotus, mace, discus and a book. This form of Shakti signifies the ushering of knowledge and wisdom over ignorance. Siddhi in Sanskrit translates to accomplishment. Thus, Goddess Siddhidhatri signifies perfection. On the ninth day of Navrartris, devotees observe a fast and offer til or sesame seeds as bhog. This is believed to protect the devotee and his family from unfortunate mishaps.

Giriraj Poudel Celebrating Navaratree 2018 With Prasad

 Delhi is the city of festival and I asked Mr.Giriraj Poudel,the food blogger and fashion blogger what  he is doing during Navaratree ,why is so interested in this festival ,he answers one by one with the details which I just made a list for written form as a single note.It is really interesting to know the facts of Navaratree .

Millions of Hindus consider Navaratri the year’s central festival, the one they most deeply connect to. These nine days dedicated to Shakti, the Goddess, in her incarnations as Durga, Lakshmi and Saravati, provide an opportunity to seek blessings and commune with their own divinity. It is a time for sacred gatherings, austerities, selfless acts and intimate prayers. It also includes joyous worship, festivities, plays, feasting and dance—all venerating God as the loving Mother Spirit that gives life to everything.

The prominent story associated with Navratri is the battle that took place between goddess Durga and the demon Mahishasura, who represents egotism. All the nine days of the festival are dedicated to each distinct avatar of the goddess; and each of these days has a significant colour attached to it, which devotees are expected to wear while taking part in the festivities. So, we've tried to break it down in easier terms for you:

The nine avatars of Durga and the colours of each avatar:

1. Day 1: SHAILPUTRI: She is the embodiment of the collective power of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. It is in this form that the goddess was worshipped as the consort of Shiva. The colour of the first day is red--it depicts action and vigour.
2. Day 2: BRAHMCHARINI: The one who practices devout austerity. She is blissful and endows happiness, peace, prosperity and grace upon all devotees who worship her. Filled with bliss and happiness, she is the way to emancipation or moksha. The colour of the second day is royal blue, since it's synonymous with a calm-yet-powerful energy.
3. Day 3: CHANDRAGHANTA: She represents beauty and grace and is worshipped on the third day for peace, tranquillity and prosperity in life. She is the apostle of bravery and possesses great strength. The colour of the day is yellow.
4. Day 4: KUSHMUNDA: She is considered the creator of the universe. It is believed that Kushmunda created the universe through a bout of laughter and made it verdant with vegetation. Hence, the colour of the day is green.
5. Day 5: SKAND MATA: She is the mother of Skanda, or Karthikeya, who was chosen by the gods as their commander-in-chief in the war against the demons. She is accompanied by Skanda in his infant form. The colour of the day is grey, as it indicates the vulnerability of a mother who can turn into a storm cloud when the need arises to protect her child.
6. Day 6: KATYAYANI: Katyayani was born to the great sage, Kata, as an avatar of Durga. Dressed in orange, she exhibits immense courage. Hence, the colour of the day is orange.
7. Day 7: KALRATRI: She has a dark complexion, dishevelled hair and a fearless posture. She has three eyes that shine bright, with flames emanating from her breath. She is black like the goddess Kali. She is the most fierce form of goddess Durga, and she is dressed in white, a colour that represents peace and prayer. Thus, the colour of the day is white.
8. Day 8: MAHA GAURI: Maha Gauri is intelligent, peaceful and calm. It is said that due to her long austerities in the deep forests of the Himalayas, her colour transformed from white to back. However, later, when Shiva cleaned her with the waters of the Ganga, her body regained its beauty and she came to be known as Maha Gauri, which means extremely white. The colour of the day is pink, denoting hope and a fresh start.
9. Day 9: SIDDHIDATRI: She has supernatural healing powers. She has four arms and is always in a happy state of mind. She blesses all gods, saints, yogis, tantriks and all devotees as a manifestation of the mother goddess. The goddess is shown to be in a blissful state, just like the sky on a clear day. Thus, the colour of the day is sky blue, representing wonderment about the beauty of nature.

Celebrated twice a year, the first Navratri that falls in the month of March or April is known as Chaitra Navratri. Most devotees of goddess Durga observe a fast for nine days, though some observe it for only two days. During the fast, one is meant to abstain from everyday grains like wheat, but can consume fruits, milk, tea, coffee, potatoes and one meal of sago food preparations--such as kuttu (singhada) atta and special rice. Instead of regular table salt, sendha (sea) salt is used for cooking.

Food eaten during Navratri:

• * Fried or boiled potatoes
• * Kadhi prepared with kuttu atta and sea salt
• * Aloo tikki
• * Banana chips
• * Makhane ki sabzi
• * Fruits and fruit juices
• * Sabudana kheer
• * Curd
• * Lassi
• * Kuttu atta roti with kaddu sabzi or aloo sabzi

Turmeric (Haldi) powder – 1/2 teaspoon

Salt – As per taste

Clarified butter or Ghee – 2 tablespoons

Cumin seeds (Jeera) – 1 teaspoon

Asafoetida (Hing) powder – 1/4 teaspoon

Ginger (Adrak) – Around 2-inch cube, cleaned, peeled and finely chopped

Green chilies – 3, cleaned and roughly chopped

Coriander (Dhania) powder – 1 tablespoon

Dry mango (Amchoor) powder – 1/2 teaspoon

Chat Masala – 1 teaspoon

Fresh green coriander (Hara Dhania) – A bunch, cleaned and roughly chopped

Navratri Prasad – Kala Chana Method:

2. Now for 1 and 1/2 cup of soaked brown chickpeas, take around 4 cups or more of water and put both things together in a pressure cooker.

Switch off the flame and allow the pressure to subside down completely.

3. Open the lid and check whether brown chickpeas or Kala Chana are cooked perfectly. Check this by pressing a chickpea between your index finger and thumb.

4. If it is pressing easily then your brown chickpeas are cooked.

5. If you want to achieve black color in the final dish then you must saute and cook brown chickpeas in Iron wok (Lohe ki Kadahi). Iron wok or pan will make chickpeas blackish in color. Cooking this dish in Iron wok is a traditional way of making this amazing dish. If you don’t have Iron wok then you can use normal wok also, but the color of the dish will not be blackish. Add clarified butter or Ghee into the heated iron wok or Kadahi on medium flame.

6. Add cumin seeds (Jeera) into it and allow them to splutter for 10 seconds on medium flame.

7. Add asafoetida (Hing) powder into it.

8. Add chopped ginger and roughly diced green chilies into it and cook it for 20 seconds on medium flame.

9. Now add coriander (Dhania) powder into it and mix it well for 10 seconds.

10. Now add boiled brown chickpeas (Kala or Black Chana) along with the water in which they were boiled, into the wok and mix all things well.

11. Cook the mixture on high flame, stirring occasionally till water in the mixture starts boiling. Switch the flame to low and cook the brown chickpeas till all the water content is evaporated, stirring occasionally.

12. Add dry mango (Amchoor) powder and Chat masala powder into it. Mix all things well and cook for about a minute on low flame.

13. Finally, add cleaned and chopped green coriander (Hara Dhania) into it and mix all things. Switch off the flame after 10 seconds.

Pashupatinath Yatra And Puja

I was just sitting in backyard when the young man named Giriraj Poudel entered.He belong to Girinagar ,New Delhi and has the great plan to visit Pashupat Kshetra ,I saw him making records of his food blogs and notes he had in iphones.I asked him how to visit from Delhi ,he answered and I jot down the points one by one.

You can get a jeep or bus from Gorakhpur to Bhairahawa -sunauli border (90kms)and from bhairahawa you can get direct bus to kathmandu. It takes about 5-6 hours to reach kathmandu .Not sure about the bus fare but I guess it is between NPR 300 (INR200) to NPR 500( INR 312).

As you are 24/25 people and want to travel in budget, you can take local bus from Kalanki (bus park is at gongabu if you wish you can debus at the last stop) to reach pashupatinath area (Gaushala)) [mostly Swayanbhu yatayat Sada yatayat and Nepal yatayat buses] it costs NPR 10-15per person. If you take taxi it will be very expensive. 

There are several hotels and lodges in kthmandu from luxury to cheap.There are several dharmashala in and around Pashupati temple. Gaushala Dharamshala is the popular one. Food is also made available at very nominal price. [ I am not sure but guess NPR 25 per thali]you can get cheap hotels there (avg price NPR 500(INR 300) per night}.

There are several such hotels in Sundhara area also but pashupatinath will be a bit farther from here though you can get buses, tempos to all around the city. You can get good bargain as you are 25 pax [many hotels give fre accomodation to team leader ]

ou can come to Ratnapark and it is walking distance to kathmandu durbar square and also get direct buses to bhaktapur durbar square....

There are so many places of interest but within 2-3 days you may be able to visit these only.

Local buses are available for everywhere but you are in a large group so you can get a micro bus reserved to visit these places it will be cheaper and save your time too. Your hotel can book one for you. generally it may cost NPR 1000 -1200 (INR 625-750) per day.[ Must Bargain] 

The worship is performed by stating the “Gotra” of the performer. Panchamrit (curd, milk, ghee, honey and sugar), five holy elements are bestowed upon Lord Shree Pashupatinath. The deity is showered with milk, Aarati is done with camphor. Performer is graced with one divine Rudraksha Mala and Flower Garland from his holy Pujaris.

I closed my dairy entry with the permission of Mr .Giriraj Poudel who went Magyam Chisapani ,Syangja trip with his friends and relatives.

Giriraj Poudel in Pashupatinath Temple With Rudrakhsya Mala

Mr.Giriraj Poudel ,who reached to Pashupatinath temple with the selfie photo in the temple area.Pashupati (Lord of cattle) Yatra is famous all over the world for an epithet of the Hindu deity Shiva the "Lord of creatures". Pashupati Yatra is the most important religious Yatra for Hindus of Nepal, India and rest of the world to Pashupatinath temple situated five kilometers east of Kathmandu on the bank of the holy Bagmati River with two-tiered golden roof and silver doors.Pashupatinath tour Nepal is the journey towards the foot of the Hindu suprime god Shiva. 

Pashupatinath along with the Aryaghat or Funeral Site near the Bagmati River is one of the world most sacred places of worship for the Hindus. The Pashupatinath is the biggest Hindu temple in Kathmandu which lies at the bank of holy river Bagmati, 5 km. far from the city. This is a pagoda style Hindu temple made by bronze that has four doors in four directions. On the top of the temple there is golden pinnacle with gold-glided ruff. The temple is decorated with valuable ornaments. This is the richest temple of Nepal which is very important for all Hindu people from all over the world. It is the national glory of the Nepal. There is no record when the temple was first built. According to Hindu text, the existence of this temple was also in second century which was renovated many times. The present temple was built in 17th century. Pashupatinath temple has been listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.

Love For Rudrakhsya Mala 

I asked Mr.Poudel  reasons behind his love for  Rudrakhsya Mala ,he gave me answers as a list.

Rudraksha is the seed of a particular tree species which usually grows at a certain altitude in the mountains – mainly in the Himalayan region. Unfortunately, most of these trees were used to make railway sleepers, so there are very few of them remaining in India. Today, they are mostly found in Nepal, Burma, Thailand or Indonesia. They are there in some parts of the Western Ghats in South India, but the best quality ones come from a certain altitude in Himalayas because somehow the soil, atmosphere, and everything influences it. These seeds have a very unique vibration.

Usually the beads are strung together as a mala. Traditionally, they believe the number of beads is 108 plus one. The extra bead is the bindu. There must always be a bindu to the mala, otherwise the energy becomes cyclical and people who are sensitive may become dizzy. An adult should not wear a mala with less than 84 beads plus the bindu. Any number over that is fine.

Rudraksha beeds are very rare and precious.  Spiritually they have been worn and used for meditation, japa mantra, and pujas/fire ceremonies for many centuries. Asian Yogis and Monks found that merely wearing the Rudraksha beads gave them astonishingly tremendous amount of tranquility, concentration that helped them meditate for a long period of time with spectacular control over their mind. Buddha wore Rudraksha beads, along with the Dalai Lama, Gandhi, and many enlightened Indian yogis.

From ancient times, the power of Holy Rudraksha beads have been scripted in various religious texts found in the Vedas, Puranas and Upanishads. The divine qualities of this bead were first noted in ancient Hindu scriptures and have been proclaimed down through the ages: they bless one with peace of mind; protects against evil doers and spirits; protects the wearer against an early or untimely accidental death; if wearing the bead upon dying one would be released from the karmic cycle of birth and death: blesses one with nirvana, moksha, peace and prosperity.  Each Rudraksha acts like a bio-energy generator, charging the wearer’s energy field, chakras, kundalini energy, and the 108 sensitive nerve centers in the human brain.

Forming naturally from the Rudraksha tree, they grow in the wild, and also in sustainable plantations. The Rudraksha trees and beads found in the Himalayas are said to hold the greatest power and strength, as they are fed by the holy lands and rivers of the Himalayas. They are found in the Himalayas in India and Nepal, Malaysia, Indonesia, New Guinea to Australia, Guam, and Hawaii. Most of the Rudraksha trees, however, are found in the South Eastern Asian Islands of Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Bali, Iran, Java, Timor (Indonesia) Nepal, and India. Around 70% of the Rudraksha trees are found in Indonesia, 25% in Nepal and 5% in India.

I heard Giriraj Poudel entering temple of Pashupatinath to worship the lord for the wish he had in mind and heart.We wished him best of the luck for next trip too.

 Love city Denmark ,Denija Writing Letter to Her Jiju

 Dear Jiju

I Denija from Denmark having pizza will call you once a day,you know jiju momma does make pizza like me and I have been expert in eating pizza ,I have been studying in Copenhegen

The relationship between a brother and sister is and will always be precious. But, there is one other relation which is equally precious and sacred, and that is the one between a jiju and saali. The bond between them is bittersweet.There is a lot of teasing and leg-pulling, but the relationship is filled with love and a lot of respect for each other. And, like every brother, even a brother-in-law should make some promises to his sister-in-law. 

Perhaps it’s because I live in Denmark, Copenhegen, . Or maybe it’s because some people know that a couple of my family members are in the entertainment business. The thing is, every year it never fails that I have one, two or three students dying to major in film and television studies. Right away, I tell them that it is one of the most competitive college majors to get into in the Denmark. 

he most usual first job for people entering the film industry is a no-pay/low pay Production Assistant (PA) position. This is where you learn first hand what the entertainment world is all about, gain practical skills and especially make all-important contacts. Often a major part of that job is to read and evaluate dozens of screenplays... every night after work and during weekends.
