Hinduism and Festivals..

Hinduism is the most environmental friendly religion.It believes in co existence with all living and non living beings.
Hindu festivals are designed according to weather cycle.

Sankranti marks Sun's transit to 'Makar'(Capricorn) marking the end of Winter.The days start getting longer.
Lohidi,Pongal,Sankranti the names may differ but these festivals mark the arrival of summers and new crop..

Holi is the spring festival..originated as 'Basantotsava' it marks the arrival of spring..

Chaitra Navratra begins from first day of the solar year.Nine days of fasting provides a period of praying and detox.

Acc to Hindu Calender Rainy season lasts from Jyeshtha to Bhadrapad..Rains leading to moisture,dampness and insects.
Deepawali/Diwali is not just lighting lamps.That's the least and last of it..

Cleaning and preparing houses n surrounding before winters is what Diwali is all about.
Burning of mustard oil diyas help kill the insects bred in Rainy days.Preparing a lot of food for coming days..

Diwali also provides us an occasion to rejuvenate our souls after enduring rains and staying indoors during monsoon..

Goverdhan Pooja is a way to show our gratitude to the livestock..

So no..our festivals are not just a way to strut around in finery and give lessons about environment.

We have a scientific reason behind every ritual which may have been modified through the course of time.

It's a fact.
ऊँ सहनाववतु
सहनोभुनक्तु
सहवीर्यं करवावहै,
तेजस्वीनापतितम्
अस्तु मा विद्विषावहै.
together we protect each other.

मुहब्बत और ताज..

निशानेइश्क इस ताज में दफन कई राज़ हैं,
वो मुहब्बत ही क्या जो ताज की मोहताज है..

In Tune..

Just be in tune with nature's symphony.. you will find your note to play on..

-Akshini

ज़िंदगी..

तुझे याद कर रहे हैं,
तेरी बात कर रहे हैं,
ना मिले ना सही ज़िंदगी,
तेरे बगैर बसर कर रहे हैं..

#ज़िंदगी

तेजोमय हो ..

तेजोमय हो,स्वस्तिमय हो,
घर आँगन सब ज्योतिर्मय हो
अंधियारों को दीप्त करे
धनधान्य भरे,अंतर्तम् को दूर करे
यह दीपोत्सव मंगलमय हो..

दिल्ली के मालिक..

दिल्ली के मालिक,
चप्पल छाप बिगड़े नवाब,
आम आदमी का झंडा,
ले कर आए थे आप..?
भूल गए..?

दिल्ली के सरकार ज़रा होश में आएं आप,
ये दिल्ली है जनाब ठरकी सुलतान.
किसी एक की हुई न कभी,
कई आए राजा राजे या बादशाह..

दिल्ली के मालिक,
ज़रा होश में आएं आप
आहिस्ता बोलें झूठों के सरदार,
कहीं सुन ना लें असली सरकार

बनावटी लोग..

झूठे दिखावटी लोग,
मतलबी बनावटी लोग..
बस दूर से अच्छे लगते हैं,
ये नकली सजावटी लोग..

अक्षिणी

Take time..

Take time to sit back,
Take time to look back,
Take time to get back....

Take time sit back,
Take time to look back,
Take time to hit back..

Take time to sit back,
Take time to write back,
Take time to get back...

Akshini

उजालों से..

सुबह कभी रुकती नहीं ,
रात के हवालों से..
अंधेरों की हैसियत ही क्या ?
जो रार ले उजालों से..

अक्षिणी

The child in me..

Once he smiled,
Once he played,
had some time..
Once he had a life..

The child in me,
The wild in me,
Lost it's say,
Gone day by day..

Once he talked,
Once he rocked,
Had some sway,
Lost the will to play,

The child in me,
The wild in me,
Had a very little say,
Gone far away..

#the child in me..

Akshini

Teach if you may

in such a tender way

For the child is raw

Just like soft clay..

Teach what you can

Teach only if you can

With your loving touch

Make him your fan

Give him little rope

He is sure to cope

Life is full of wonders

Give him little hope..

Cut him little slack

With a smile and a pat

Time is really short

Let's make it really great..

Dear friends..

Teach if you wish 

With a touch of your own

Go farther than the books ..

For life is beyond the books..

दिल्ली सरकार

आप बेकार..
केजू मक्कार..
झूठी सरकार..
दिल्ली बेजार..
रोए लगातार..
बस कर यार..
दिल्ली सरकार..
गिन कर बंदे चार..
आधे तिहाड़..
आधे लफ्फाड़..
हद है यार..
कैसी सरकार..
