Farmers' Victory - 11 December 2021

To celebrate the victory of their protests, namely getting the three farm laws that would have hurt them repealed, the protesting farmers declared 11th December as Vijay Diwas (Victory Day). In honour of this, I offer my worship to Lord Balarāma today. Balarāma, Bearer of the Plough, is the god of agriculture. 

Many æons ago, Balarāma, in a fit of rage, dragged the entire city of Hastināpura with his mighty plough. In December 2021, manifesting in the collective might of the farmers, he dragged Indraprastha (Delhi) with his plough, striking terror into the hearts of the oppressors.

This victory is not an end. The struggle is not over. May Balarāma raise his plough again and again whenever there is injustice.

 Sūrasamhāram 2021 Veṯṟivēl, Vīravēl! Victorious Vēl, heroic Vēl! Today (9th November 2021) is Skanda Ṣaṣṭhī this year, known as Kanda Saṣṭi ( kanta caṣṭi கந்த சஷ்டி, or kanta caṭṭi கந்த சட்டி) in Tamil. Skanda is Lord Murugaṉ ( Murukaṉ முருகன்), also known as Kārttikēya. Ṣaṣṭhī means sixth day. Murugaṉ is Ṣaṇmukha ( ṣaṭ + mukha , six-faced), Āṟumugaṉ in Tamil ( āṟu-mukaṉ ஆறுமுகன்). He was born as six babies to the six Kr̥ttikā star goddesses, and when he reached Goddess Pārvatī's lap, he became one child with six faces and twelve arms. Thus, the number 6 and the ṣaṣṭhī tithi (6th date), especially in the śukla pakṣa (bright half, waxing moon) of a lunar month, are both very sacred to him. Every śukla ṣaṣṭhī is Skanda Ṣaṣṭhī. The śukla ṣaṣṭhī of the Kārttika month, this year falling today, is especially sacred. The name Kārttika is derived from the Kr̥ttikā stars. Also, this particular Skanda Ṣaṣṭhī is the day when the asura Sūrapadman...

Radhashtami 2021, and a century of Bharati I have returned to this blog after a hiatus of several months. Today is Radhashtami  –  the birthday of Radha. Ashtami means eighth [day]. In each lunar month, there are two ashtamis: one in the krishna paksha ( dark half/ waning moon)  and the other in the shukla paksha ( bright half/ waxing moon). If one goes by the north Indian calendar, the krishna ashtami of the month of Bhadrapada is Krishna Janmashtami, the birthday of Krishna. The shukla ashtami of the same month is Radhashtami. This year, Janmashtami was on August 30, and Radhashtami is today, September 14, 2021. On this occasion, I present to you  Mahakavi C. Subramania Bharati (11 December 1882-11 September 1921)'s song to Radha, with music by me. Interestingly, the song does not feature Krishna's name anywhere. Bharati was mainly a Tamil poet. However, he was a polyglot. This song begins in Sanskrit and ends with three couplets in Tamil. The Sanskrit part is mor...

 Basant Panchami and Saraswati Puja, 2021 Basant Panchami Winter is drawing to a close. The mustard fields are bright with masses of yellow flowers. The deep scarlet Erythrina flowers attract the bulbuls, parrots and sunbirds. The garden resounds with the calls of barbets and squirrels. The koels, which had hidden themselves in the winter, have made an appearance again. Mango and red silk cotton trees are in full bloom in the southern regions. Tender leaves, translucent pink and yellowish-green in colour, decorate the trees. On this auspicious fifth day (panchami) of the bright half of the lunar month of Magh, which in 2021 falls on February 16th, we celebrate Basant Panchami, the spring festival. It is celebrated in different ways in different places. In Punjab, it is traditionally celebrated by wearing yellow clothes, flying yellow kites, and singing and dancing. Kite flying on this day is very popular in West Punjab (Pakistan) too.  Basant Panchami is also a very important ...
