Goddess Parvati

There are three Teej festivals celebrated in India, Hariyali Teej, Kajari Teej and Hartalika Teej, of which Hartalika Teej is the most important one. This festival is celebrated for three continuous days. Which includes, puja and fasting for Goddess Parvati, social gatherings of women for dance and cultural events, exchanging sweets and gifts and newly married brides get gifts from mother-in-law. So, for all these reason this is a very look forward to event by the women. 

Fasting on Hartalika Teej


Hartalika Puja
Women wake up early in the morning, clean the house and set up a small mantap for the Goddess Parvati along with an idol of Lord Shiva. They keep a strict fast all through the day, which includes non consumption of even water. Further, prayers and prasad is offered to the God. Songs praising the Divine couple Shiva and Parvati are sung and finally gifts are exchanged with one another after the puja is completed. Another practise is to light a oil lamp which has a very important role to play during the fasting and puja, it should be taken care that the oil lamp is lit all through the night and never goes off. It is considered to be a bad omen if it does go off. 

On this auspicious day, you can also start any new venture or perform any important functions as this would be a good day to do it. To know the right time or Muhurat for the event you can check our Free Service, just click here Shubh Muhurat

Now that we know when and how Hartalika Teej is celebrated, lets know the legend associated with this festival. 

Legend Behind Hartalika Teej


Legend has it that, Goddess Parvati was in deep love with Lord Shiva, but Shiva never took notice of her as he was beyond all these worldly pleasures. To make Lord Shiva take notice of her and fall in love with her, Goddess Parvati went into deep tapas (meditation) in Himalayas. Finally after many years of tough praying Goddess Parvati’s wishes were answered and Lord shiva took her and married her. Since that day women have been praying Goddess Parvati Mata and to get a blessed with a life like the divine couple. 

With this, we wish everyone a very Happy Teej Festival !

The Secret Of Performing “Aarti”

Aarti
Aarti, also known as ‘Aaratrik’ or ‘Aarartik’ and ‘Nirajana’, is performed at the end of Puja (the Hindu worship process). The Aarti makes the Puja flawless, covering all the mistakes made during the process. Skandpurana cites –

Mantraheenam Kriyaheenam Yat Poojanam Hareh |
Sarvam Sampoornatameti Kritey Nirajaney Shivey ||

It means that even if your Pujan process lacks the sacred spells or the method, Nirajan (Aarti) makes it complete in the end. During Aarti, one should first of all chant the Mantra (Holy spell) of the particular deity 3 times while offering flowers to the deity. Further, the Aarti should be sung with all the traditional musical instruments. Along with that, keep hailing the deity and light lamps using pure Ghee or camphor. You may light any number of lamps, but the count should always be odd; for example – 1, 3, 5, 7 and so on.

Tatashch Moolmantren Datva Pushpanjatiltrayam |
Mahaneerajanam Kuryanmahavadhyajayasvanayeh ||
Prajwalyet Tadartham Cha Karpooren Ghriten Va |
Aarartikam Shubhe Paatre Vishmaanekavartikam ||

Hindus performing Aarti

Generally, the Aarti is performed with 5 lamps, which is also known as ‘Panchpradeep’. Also, the Aarti is performed by 1, 7 or more lamps. Apart from this, camphor is also used for the Aarti. Aarti should be performed with these things – vermillion, incense, camphor, sandal, cotton and Ghee. Along with these, conch and bells should be chimed during the Aarti. Aarti is consisted of 5 parts:

Aarti Thali with all the necessary things
1. By the lamps,
2. By the conch with water,
3. By clean cloths,
4. By leaves of mango or Peepal,
5. By performing Aarti with Sashtang Dandwat (a position to honor the deities).

The above 5 points should be performed in a series. While taking down the Aarti, first rotate it clockwise 4 times in the feet of the idol of your deity, 2 times around the navel, once around the face and 7 times around all the organs. Actually, the Aarti is performed to impress the deity. While showing lamps to your deity, they are praised and hailed. So, this was all about Aarti, if you have any further query – do comment.
