Sabitry

All my best wishes to the mothers and sisters for their special occasion of ‘Savitry Brata’! Hindu married women on this Great ‘Amabasya’, the last day of the dark fortnight, in the month of the month of ‘Jyeshtha’ worship their husbands with devotion. This day is most favorable for the married Hindu women whose husbands are alive. They observe it as a vow with great dedication and pray for their husband to have a long life. The word reflects the origin and significance of the ‘Savitry Puja’. The fast is dedicated to’Satyavan’ and ‘Savitry’; her husband who was destined to die within one year but was brought back to life by her penance. The God of death, ‘Yama’, is implored by ‘Savitry’ when he is about to leave his body. Due to her sheer determination and devotion to her husband, she won him back to life. Soon ‘Satyavan’ regained his lost kingdom. It is the myth and the Great Indian hermits kept through the story, the theory of chastity. Chastity is the noblest asset of a Hindu woman. Our Hindustan, the epicenter of the ‘Sanatan Dharma’ established the theory of permanent marital knot before time immemorial. Ghastly virus ‘AIDS’ couldn’t have penetrated to human world had the western civilization adhered to this decent thought of ‘Sanatan Dharma’. I pray all the mothers and sisters on the earth to swear today for stick to the gracious principle of respecting the pious bond between a dedicated wife and a righteous husband. Jaya Jagannath.
