Haanthi Ghoda paal ki ...Jai kanhaiya laal ki....
[Well I wrote this post on the day of Janmashtami though I'm posting it today....hehe..I am back at my lappy after 3-4 days..haah....]
It was “Janmashtami” yesterday and I was at home on my weekends. The day before yesterday, we had the celebrations at BHU temple and Morvi Hostel. We went to witness the moment in the night and had the prashaad and blessings of “Shri Krishna”....in the afternoon we had been to the new temple at Durga-kund.....It was very nicely decorated and the entire atmosphere was enchanting..... :):) ....
Yesterday, when I returned to home I thought that ohhhh..!!!!....this year I missed the Pooja and celebrations in my just next door neighbours “The Mishras”, a typical Brahmin family (they are typical in the sense that they don’t even use onion and garlic in preparing the dishes). Well to my good luck it wasn’t so....the celebration was actually yesterday....wow....!!!!...J.. I was lucky not to miss it....at 12 o’clock in the night I went along with “Maa”....there we had the pooja in the traditional way and then I got the blessings from “Banke Bihaari”....”Govinda”...Dada Ji,Dadi Ji and the entire elders also gave their blessings on this day....like every year we saw the live celebrations in the entire India on television at Mathura, Dwarika, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Mumbai and many more places, simultaneously..It was a lovely and charming scene....Then finally we had the “prashaad”....wow..!!
...it had variety of home-made sweet dishes....I just enquired about them & tried to remember them....apart from “charnaamrit”,”maakhan & mishri” and fruits it included raam-daane ki laddooo,posta-daana ka halwa,gud aur saunth ka halwaa,kahrbooje ke beej ka laddoo,naariyal ka laddoo ....awesome yaar....and all these prepared in “deshi ghee”....hmmm....J....India rocks and few things are amazingly awesome....”kaahen maalik....sahii kahat haiin naa....!!!!”
May be from next year I will be missing all these things and joys but certainly these form some of the most wonderful and beautiful memories.....J
“Govinda aala re”....!!!!.. [ :):) ]
