HOLI,DOLJATRA, FAG UTSAB, BONHU UTSAB AND BASANT UTSAB

CREATION OF COLORS





AFTER SUNSET

IN THE FULL MOON
India's one of the most ancient festival is HOLI. This is known as different name. But everywhere there is a different explanation and history behind it,. In different era it's name has been changed. But the basic joy and theme is almost remains same. And it is accepted by all the Indian through out the periods from heart and soul. Here I will give some references . 
Regarding HOLI AND BONHI UTSAB the best information is given in WIKIPEDIA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holi

IN BENGAL it is DOLJATRA. There is PHULODOL also. tThis was started from the time

 of SRI KRISHNA. 
And SRI CHAITANYA DEV AND THE OTHER VAISNAVA still are following that.
This is also given in WIKIPEDIA.

But why it is in Phalgun and why with Phag/ abir ? 

To search this question first we have to know Phag has come from Phalgu.
Here is the meaning of Phalgu.


Vide- Sanskrit Dictionary for Spoken Sanskrit.html
 A meaning of 
phalgu is  RED. AND RED POWDER FROM WILD GINGER.










Notice the last meaning RED POWDER OF WILD GINGER.
This colour and substance probably used in the ancient time which has many medicinal value.

It is depicted first FALGU UTSAB was done after the victory

 of the DEVATA against ASURA and it was created by 
BRAHMODEB.[see-PUROHIT DARPAN  by 
SURENDRAMOHAN BHATTACHARIA -
DOLJATRA PUJA -STOTRA. page:202.

COLOR AND THE LORD.

From the meaning RED we can understand why this month is PHALGUN.

The star having this color is called PHALGUNI NAKHSATRA.










The ginger family consists of 53 genera and over 1,200 species,

How do you identify a wild ginger plant_ _ Reference.com.html





  • Examine the leaves of the plantWild ginger leaves are heart-shaped and may meet at the stem, which results in a leaf that appears cup-like. The leaves of the plant are generally a deep, bright green. Additionally, the leaves are often found low to the ground, and only one leaf is typically present on the stem.
  • Examine the flowers The flowers are found at the base of the stem near the ground. The flowers of the wild ginger plant are typically reddish brown and white. They feature a deep center that curves into a bell shape. Three long tips form along the top edge of the flower. Each stem produces a single flower.
  • Examine the stemThe stem of wild ginger is fuzzy to the touch, and it can be up to 8 inches in height.

    [In India to the this adaptation is not new. There is numerous variation of Hindu religion.But they were ,are & will be united with a cord that this land is of them. They are the inhabitant of this country. And they have accepted succeeding religions, The Muslim & the Christianity.We find SRI DURGA a combination form, like wise,SRI SATYA-NARAYAN. After Muslim came into this land, SATYA PEER,PEER appeared. In Kolkata till date we worship GODDESS SRI KALI in FIRINGI KALI BARI with reverence ,which was established by a CHRISTIAN Sahib. Actually above all the truth & humanity reigns]
    **************************************************************

    HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of beloved followers. Today is also KALPATARU DAY. Sri Ramakrishna became KALPATARU[WILL AS YOU WISH] on this day before HIS passing by.He said to  the all whom HE touched that day-
    LET YOU HAVE CHAITANYA[bodhi/baptism/gyan/consciousness/kaibalya/].
    WE can amuze this day  wishing all the best for the coming years, but this KALPATARU UTSAV has glorified this dqy more  not only for Bengali,but for all the nation & nations.
    He was the preacher of UNITY IN DIVERSITY in religious world.1st Jan is the new year according to the English calendar,In India we follow 1st BAISHAK as new year. SO THERE IS A CONFLICT IN BENGAL'S MIND [those who are respectful for their own heritage also],for the celebration of NEW YEAR.. Most of them have adapted the both as one in BENGAL'S STYLE ,another ENGLISH STYLE


    But SRI RAMAKRISHN'S kalpataru festival by HIS followers has given a new blend of this day.As a Divine Avatar spontaneously HE HAS made this new year in 'English calender'  a day of festival . This is also an example of his tolerance & adaptation of else's culture.

    Of late, SWAMI DEVANANDAJI, in NADRA , BARDHAMAN, has started a special colourful festival on the 1st January, every year. for the betterment of the lives & the world.
    He is also a great soul.

    And has chosen this KALPATARU DAY for his important festival, as HE IS ALSO SAYING that this is SATYA YUG..This is Dibyo Milan Day.
     And Sri Ramakrishna also the KAKLIAVATAR[see my previous articles]. THE TORCH BEARER OF THE SATYA YUG.

    ................JOY SRI GURUMAHARAJ,JOY SRI RAMAKRISHNA,JOY SRI DEVANANDA..............
