                                                        An Indian festival Dhanteras


Welcome to my blog and thank you for this much support. So let's start. Today's blog is based on "An Indian festival Dhanteras". Dhanteras is a Hindu festival celebrated in India on the thirteenth lunar day of Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) in the Vikram Samvat Hindu calendar month of Karthik. Dhanvantari, who is also worshipped on the occasion of Dhanteras, is considered the God of Ayurveda who imparted the wisdom of Ayurveda for the betterment of mankind and to help rid it of the suffering of disease.


The Indian ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy, announced its decision to observe Dhanteras, as the "National Ayurveda Day", which was first observed on 28 October 2016.
The festival is celebrated as "Lakshmi Puja" Which is performed in the evenings when candles clay is lit. Bhajans, devotional songs in praise of Goddess Lakshmi, are sung and "Naivedya" of traditional sweets is offered to the Goddess. A peculiar custom in Maharashtra exists where people lightly pound dry coriander seeds with jaggery and offer the mixture as Naivedya. On this day, Hindus consider it as an extremely auspicious day to make new purchases, especially gold or silver articles and new utensils. It is believed that new "Dhan" (wealth) or some form of precious metal is a sign of good luck. In modern times, Dhanteras has come to be known as the most auspicious occasion for buying gold, silver and other metals especially kitchenware. 


The day also sees heavy purchases of appliances and automobiles. On this night, the lights are set out every night both in the sky lamps and as offerings at the base of a Tulsi plant and also in the form of diyas, which are placed in front of the doorways of homes. This light is an offering to Yama, the Host of Death, to avert untimely death during the time of the Diwali festival. This day is a celebration aimed at increasing wealth and prosperity. Dhanteras engages themes of cleansing, renewal, and the securing of auspiciousness in the form of Lakshmi. In the villages, cattle are adorned and worshiped by farmers as they form the main source of their income.


On the day of Dhantrayodashi, Goddess Lakshmi came out from the ocean of milk during the churning of the Sea. Hence, Goddess Lakshmi is worshiped on the day of Trayodashi.
According to a popular legend, when the devas and asuras performed the Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean) for Amrita, Dhanvantari emerged carrying a jar of the elixir on the day of Dhanteras.

" आज से ही आपके यहां धन की बरसात हो,मां लक्ष्मी का वास हो,संकटों का नाश हो,उन्नती का सर पर ताज हो,और घर में शांति का वास हो।। "

                                        The curriculum of our current education system Today's blog is based on " The curriculum of our current education system ". I wholeheartedly agree that the tight curriculum of our current education system leaves no room for imagination and creativity. The academic pressure is so much on them, they have forgotten their innate creativity and imagination. They are always under the pressure of studies. This pressure is put on them from the beginning of the session. Formative assessment activities of all the subjects, studies and their assignments of all the subjects, unit tests, co-curricular activities, homework, classwork, projects, practical exams, summative examination, date sheet, result, again the new term, etc. So much of pressure on the young growing children! Are we educating them or training them in the art of being stressful throughou...
