Science behind Indian festivals – Darshak Bhatt (Ex.Stu. of Gurukul Hyd.) - Continue from last Issue
or ease of calculations, a lunation is divided into 30 parts known as tithi’s. They are of unequal duration. Assigning a civil day to a festival calculated for a tithi is based on a complicated prescription A lunation is broken into two parts, called Paksha’s The period from Amavasya to Poornima is called Shukla ( bright) Paksha, because the Moon becomes brighter night after night. The period from Poornima to Amavasya is called Krishna ( dark) Paksha A Vikrami new year starts with Amavasya preceding the Spring Equinox theoretically taken to occur on 14 April. The first nine days of the first month ( strictly speaking the 9 tithi ’s) , collectively known as Navaratri ( nine nights), are earmarked for piety, worship and restrained behaviour. This is in contrast to the Gregorian new year which is often ushered in with revelry and hang-over. Each of the nine tithi’s is addressed to a different deity. In particular the ninth tithi is celebrated as Ramanavami. Easter is a Christian festival still connected to the Moon. Easter falls on the Sunday that comes after the calculated Full Moon on or after the Spring Equinox. Since both Easter and Ramanavami are related to the Spring Equinox, they occur close
F
together. Six months after the Spring Equinox comes the Autumn Equinox . The lunar month containing the Autumn Equinox again begins with Navaratri. Before this, homage is paid to the departed ancestors in a ceremony called Shradha, pronounced Shraadh. The eighth tithi of the new month is devoted to Durga. After the Navaratri is over, the next day Dussehra or Vijayadashmi is celebrated with great enthusiasm and fun. Note that if Dussehra were part of Navaratri, it will have to be a very solemn affair. About 20 days after Dussehra comes Amavasya which is celebrated as Deepavali or Divali. The Poornima following Deepavali is celebrated as Guru Nanak Jayanti. Note that Buddha Jayanti also falls on a Poornima. Deepavali is probably the only festival associated with New Moon. We may now take note of two festivals towards the close of the Vikrami year. A night before Amavasya the Moon appears to be very thin. This day is devoted to Shivaratri. The last Shivaratri of the year would of course be the one just before Navaratri.The one prior to this is celebrated as Mahashivaratri. The Poornima after this is Holi; it is the last Poornima of the year. With the Amavasya after this begins the new year.The astronomical context of

these festivals is obvious. It would be interesting to learn about the fixation of the tithi’s of other festivals like Gansh Chaturthi, Krishnashtami,etc. These festivals are all defined by the Moon’s phases. Two important festivals are related not to the Moon but the Sun: Lohri ( 13-14 January) and Baisakhi ( 13-14 April). Lohri nominally commemorates Winter Solstice which as already noted, now occurs more than three weeks previously. Similarly as mentioned above Baisakhi nominally but belatedly marks Spring Equinox. So far we have spoken about the Sun and the Moon. In passing we may
note a festival associated with Jupiter. Its entry into the Kumbha rashi ( Aquarius) is celebrated as Kumbha mela. Since Jupiter’s orbital period is about 12 years, the main Kumbha celebration returns after this period. F i n a l l y w e m ay m a ke t w o observations. The seasonal festivals are all associated with the astronomical position of the Sun. The assumption is that Earth’s climate plays no role. This was true in the past when human beings lived in harmony with nature.. Not any more. Man made activities are now profoundly influencing the environment.
World's First Constructed Dam World's first dam was constructed in India. Even today, this dam is able to store water and regulate water. This dam remains today as a testimony for our ancient engineering expertise. The name of this ancient dam is called "Kallanai Dam". It was built in 1st century AD across the river Kaveri in Tamilnadu of South India. This dam is located 48 kms away from the temple town Tanjavur. The height of the dam is 320 meters and width is 60metres. The important feature of this dam is that no binding materials like limestone or cement were used. It was constructed by the method of interlocking the granite stones. Karikala Chola, who ruled the province during the 1st centur AD, built
this dam. He seems to be a great conqueror. Even today, water stored and collected at this dam is being used for agriculture. Sudarshan Jalasayam, the oldest man-made reservoir built during 4th BC, in the region of today's Gujarat, reminds us of the ancient Indian expertise in civil works.

EGO – Keyurbhai Patel
e identify ourselves and our actions with the words ‘I’, ‘me’, ‘mine’ etc, the feeling which we all know as ego. When this feeling is centered on self importance it is harmful to self and others and unbearable to others. An egoist is preoccupied with oneself and the gratification of one's own desires. I n t h e 2 7 t h Va c h a n a m r u t a m o f Gadhada’s last chapter Shreeji Maharaj mentions, ego leads to jealousy and rage. He also mentions that saints may not show mercy on an egoist. Let us take a look at the characteristics of egoism. Characteristics: • Respect of self and denial of others • A constant urge or want of self praise by others Now let us take a look at the ill effects of egoism. • D i f fe r e n c e s b e t w e e n f r i e n d s sometimes irreconcilable • Disagreements/altercation among family members, siblings etc • In a business it might cause loss of customer base and thus revenue and thus the future gets in jeopardy • In the work place it can cause uneasiness among peers and thus hurt one’s career, the company and share holders • In the spiritual path it causes fault
W
finding in saints and devotees and even one’s Guru • Finally it can cause fault finding in God When we are discussing egoism it is important to equally understand the need of praise wherever necessary. For example, for a person who is devout and does not have a desire to please God or receive praise from God, Shreeji Maharaj says his devotion knows no direction. Of course such praise should be taken in the form of inspiration. We h a v e t o u n d e r s t a n d t h e d i ffe re n c e b e t w e e n e g o i s m a n d inspiration. Let’s say if we do something good for the community there is bound to be praise from many quarters of the society. And there will be things said about us and our deeds. We have to analyze what is said about us and our actions against our actions and see if those are in balance and there is equilibrium. If what is said about us exceeds what we have done then that praise is not inspiration and if we like it then we are feeding our egoistic personality. But even humility may have its own ego. So we have to identify even the subtle egoism that we might be harboring. Let us now look at ways of identifying and resolving the issue of egoism. (to be continued)

Bhaktaraj Uka Khachar ka Khachar was a devotee of Bhagwan Swaminarayan who like Dada Khachar lived in Gadhda and who was very close to Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Of the nine types of bhakti he had an amazing inclination towards and liking for ‘Seva’ bhakti. One day a dog spoiled the sitting place of Maharaj during monring hours. All devotees/Saints who came to perform Darshan of Maharaj just looked at it and criticized the dog. But no one cared to clean it. Everybody wanted to do Darshan of Maharaj on time and if they cleaned it, they have to go back to Ghela river (also known as Unmat Ganga) take bath again and then come back. This could delay the Maharaj's darshan. So, no one cleaned it. Everyone just commented how bad dogs are? Later, Uka Khachar came and without a word he cleaned it thoroughly using fresh water. All the time while he was cleaning he chanted Swaminarayan and kept remembering Maharaj's murti. He then went back to Unmat ganga (Ghela river) again took bath and came back for Maharaj's darshan. Upon his arrival, Maharaj asked him "Ukakhachar, what happened? Why are you late? Don't you know that I don't like late comers? Maharaj was antaryami, he knew everything but just to give a lesson
U
to other devotees, Maharaj was pretending as if he did not know. Ukakhachar narrated the whole incident. Maharaj got very happy and praise Ukakhachar. Maharaj gave the prints of his lotus feet on the chest of Ukakhachar. Maharaj said he does not behave as a guest. He takes care of me and items used for me as if those are his own. You all devotees just talked about dog's spoil but no one cared to clean it. Only devotees like Ukakhachar who are so much dedicated and know my glory can do such task. Everyone can do good looking seva but hardly few one can do seva of this nature. And my happiness is also on those who do these kinds of seva. Ukakhachar and his wife, everyday cleaned the road from Dada's darbar to Ghela River. They removed all the stones and any garbage lying on the road. They did it very early in the morning every day, before santos and devotees woke up and got ready to bathe in ghela river. He revered all the sains and devotees who worshipped Maharaj to please Maharaj. Ukakhachar was referred by Maharaj in Gadhada Madhya 25th Vachanamrut. One who has become an addict of serving Me and My devotees like Uka Khakhar, will be redeemed of even the most vitiated desires that may erupt from within his heart.” Addiction means one can’t live without it. 10
