Wish you all a very happy & prosperous Dhanateras

Our festival in India has a deep meaning of it, how we celebrate and what is the reason behind it? If we talk about Diwali festival it starts from Dhanteras and 5-day celebration.

On the Dhanteras day we only worship Mother Lakshmi devi and seek Her blessings, especially in form of wealth. The word “dhan” means wealth.

We think Dahan means only Laxmi Devi and Dhanteras is only for worshiping Lakshmi devi, the goddess of fortune.

However, this is not a complete understanding. Dhan-Teras, or Dhan triodashi, is also the day when Lord Dhanvantari appeared. This is why it is also known as Dhanvantari triodashi, which is the thirteenth lunar day of Krishna paksha.

Lord Dhanvantari is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu who appeared, during the great churning of the cosmic milk ocean, with nectar pot, and who later gave the knowledge of medical science known as Ayurveda to mankind billions of years ago.

Medical science advancement base is Lord Dhanvantari, who gave us herbs and medicines to protect us from diseases.

So, worshiping Lakshmi Devi is all good but don't forget to worship Lord Narayana also, because where Lord Narayana is there will be Goddess of fortune (Lakshmi Devi).

Once again wish you all a very happy Dhanteras.

Learning Lessons from Mother Sumitra

In this world mother and child relationship is above all the relations. The foremost responsibility of a mother is to place her child in a proper Krishna Consciousness environment by which he/she becomes pure devotee of the Lord. Often mothers blame for their children, they are not behaving well and they don't respect them at all but the reason behind this is how much we are doing for them. Being a parent means to sacrifice for children. In modern age mother has no time to care of her children and think they can give all kinds of facilities by just giving money. And when the child grows up and by the time he/she do not get the association of mother and teachings they become free to do what they want to do. Mother means to care for her children what they need and give love and teach them how to love and respect others. And if we think we just send our children to schools/colleges and they will be perfect in all so they cannot. Its the duty of the mother to give valuable time ...
