Book Description
Festivals and Holy Days are very familiar, very important interwoven part of our religious and social life. Leaving aside the holy days, undoubtedly, festivals are objects of natural love to the entire human race. Poet Laureate Kalidasa, has observed this truth and says ‘Human beings are fond of festivities’ (“utsava priya khalu manuShyaaH” shaakuntala Act 6). They are especially happy occasions of life. The most common method in which people all over the world celebrate festivals is by getting together with family and friends, enjoying the savory gourmet foods, drinking to the best of their ability (at times, even spending beyond their means), singing, dancing and chit chatting to their hearts content, forgetting their troubles, if any. In this book we will elaborate in a chronological order beginning with the first month of the year, incorporating any special features in the description of festivals (parvas).

Navarātra is a very important parva in the garland of festivals of the Sanātana Āryabhāratiyas. There is no doubt that this is the most important of all the festivals celebrated in the Āśvayujamāsa. This is a festival which is specially celebrated in all parts of India. People of all Āśramas can celebrate this and even the Mlecchās who do not fully come under Āryadharma, are entitled (eligible) to celebrate this parva.

Book Description
Hindu ‘Fire ceremonies’ called Yaga, Yagna, Homa, and Havan are observed by the Hindus for thousands of years. My book is a collection of my articles written over ten years on this subject. I have added the festivals celebrated by the Hindus as well. It is not a comprehensive one. There are many more not reported here. But important rituals and fasts are covered in it. In the last section of the book, I have included my articles on Boons and Curses and Haloes and Importance of Days of the Week. In a way, they are all related to the title of book.

Book Description
Saṅkrānti is one of the most important festivals of the Sanātana Ārya Bhāratiyas. In scriptures it is called by other names such as Saṅkrānti, Makarasaṅkrānti, Makarasaṅkramaṇa, Makarasaṅkramaṇa, and Uttarāyaṇa puṇyakāla also. In Tamil Nadu it is called Pongal. Common people also call this as ‘Ellina Habba’. Though the distribution of sesame is in vougue in the next festival also i.e. ‘rathasaptamī’, it is only Saṅkrānti which is renownedly associated with the significance and fame pertaining to the gifting of sesame, and thus is well known as Eḷḷina habba. The Kannada proveb “Eḷḷu bellava tindu oḷḷeya māthanāḍu’ owes it’s origin to this festival. Our other books here can be searched using #BharathaSamskruthiPrakashana

Mahāśivarātri is one of the most important parvas among the festivals of Bhāratīyas. Just as Prayāga and Pushkara are called ‘Tīrtharāja’, Mahāśivarātri is called ‘vratarāja’. This vrata is observed in all parts of Bhāratadeśa with concern reverence and devotion. Though this is a festival where the prominent deity is Śiva and a very special parva for śaivites, even Vaishṇavas and worshippers of other great devatās also should specially worship God (Śiva) on Śivarātri.

Book Description
Subbarāyana Shashṭhī is an important Vrata observed in the month of Mārgaśira. Though its scriptural name is ‘Skandashashṭhī’, since the Lord is famously known by names such as ‘Skanda’, ‘Shaṇmukha’, ‘Kumāra’ etc, is called ‘Subrahmaṇyeśvara’ in tradition, the vrata parva of Shashṭhī tithi (related to his special) worship is called ‘Subbarāyana Shashṭhī’ in custom, where the word Subbarāyana is the kannada version of the Sanskrit word of Subrahmaṇya Rāja.

Book Description
God addressed by various names, Śrī Rāma, Śrī Kṛshṇa, Śrī Śiva, Śrī Subrahmaṇya and the festival and holy days addressing the distinct deities with distinguishing divine attributes and glories, have been discussed in the preceding chapters. Similarly, there are customs in our culture to observe with devotion and enthusiasm the festivals and holy days addressing preceptors, who have realized the essence of the Supreme Being, who have guided people in the divine realization path and the path of righteous order. Realized mahatmas like Jain tīrthankaras, Gautamabuddha, Śrī Śaṅkara, Śrī Rāmānuja, Śrī Madhva, Śrī Basveśvara are some of the elite preceptors. Great souls who having realized the divine principle themselves guide others to realize those divine principles, who conducted themselves in accordance with the canons, and who shone as the guiding lights for the world at large are called ‘ācāryas’ [One who professes what he practices]. Their propitious reminiscences are observed on the lunar day (tithi) of their birth and their passing away, by meditating on them, offering worship, reading their history, chanting and singing about them.

Book Description
Varamahālakshmīvrata is considered as one of the most famous vratas observed in the month of śrāvaṇa. In case the month of śrāvaṇa occurs twice in the form of nija and adhika (regular and intercalary), this Vrata is observed only in the nija śrāvaṇa. Even though it is not enjoined among the regular vratas like Ekādaśī, Śivarātri etc which should be observed by all, this vrata is observed to please Goddess Jaganmātā with great devotion and religious fervour by a large number of devotees in our country. There is a vidhi which stipulates that this vrata should be observed on a Friday which is nearest to the Pūrṇimā of the month of śrāvaṇa.
