You can't sleep 5 days if you go to Kolkata in those days. enjoy food, decorations, gossip, dance and unlimited fun. But in my village we celebrate purely in traditional way.
Yes.....in my opinion village Durgapuja is best for traditional imotions .......in my village Durgapuja ....I feel something different from the cities puja.....❤
For festivals celebrating certain deities in Hinduism their idols are made using natural substances (Clay, Mud, Bamboo etc.) just before the festival. And after the festival they are ritually submersed in a body of water so the idols can disintegrate into nature. This ritual is called "Visarjan". This can symbolize the cycle of life or the fact that everything that gains form from the formless must again disintegrate into the formless at some point in time.
Thanks for the reaction... A couple of answers to your questions 1. The video starts with the difference between north india and east. It predominantly reflects that while these are all hindus, the predominant deity tends to differ with region. North is more patriarch in its approach to God and you have male gods as part of the major festivities. East is more inclined towards the mother goddess and more matriarch in its sensibilities. 2. Although Durga Puja is a Hindu religious festival, the festival in Kolkata has transcended into a community affair where people from all religion and walks of life celebrate it. The concept is ingrained in the ethos of the fact that the reason to worship the mother goddess Durga is on the occassion of her coming back to earth as one of us... as a family member on her annual get together. This has translated in the sensibilities of the festival from a core religious to a time with the family, good times, good food and to engage in adda - the bengalis' favourite past time... to discuss over anything and everything that is under the sun and exchange ideas and views. And from that the festival has expanded to creativity in forms of pandals (the temporary temple where the goddess is worshipped) and their themes of design. They can be influenced from abstract art, alternative perspectives to age old myths, replicate current events, or open windows to far off lands. Today as it is being discovered by people outside the region, it is touted as the largest art exhibition on earth that encompasses different themes on the pretext or basis of a religious festival where expression take front seat and faith and belief take a step back ...not to go in oblivion but remind that it is aesthetic and ideas that make a man and not what you pray and believe in your home that make you or differentiate you. 3. The thing at the end that you see is the immersion of the idols of the goddess. The idols are made from clay and it is believed that the mother goddess, mother earth are all part of the same divine and we mortals create a form to relate to, from clay to worship. However, what you take back has to return in its primitive form...and as the ceremonial farewell is to bade goodbye to the goddess after the festival, the clay idols are immersed in the holy water where the form recedes to its original state. Hope I have been able to clear some of your questions
Thank you for such an accurate explanation! If there was anything closest to speaking my mind about Durga Pujo based on this reaction, then it would surely be this.
The submersion of the idols are to end the cycle with the idols going back to earth as they are made from mud and clay mostly. The pandals you saw are crafted by people and each have their own themes of how they portray the story of Durga the prime goddess of Eastern India. The city lives up whenever it's durga puja and as we all bengalis say when's Durga puja is near we be like " Pujor gondho esheche" hah It's like an entire lifetime waiting for the puja to come again and it goes by so quickly.
at the end the idol is immersed in water, signifying the fact that everything that comes into being shall be destructed one day; in her idol form she is believed to be living or having 'praan'.
Its interesting watching Pakistanis watch Durga Puja and every time when the Goddess is immersed in water they get OMG what are these people doing ?? Let me give you and example: All muslims turn and pray towards Mecca does it mean that the Kabbah is God? No it is a representation of god. In the same way in Hinduism we do not have a fixed direction or place we pray. The Difference between Abrahamic faiths and Hinduism is one big Fundamental. Abrahamic faiths believe god has made the universe and resides in heaven. Hindus believe the whole universe IS god. He resides in me, you, and everything that your see and don't see in the universe. Which means that god resides even in the Idol. Hindus use the Idol as a tool to focus their devotion towards god. The Idol is then immersed in water to remind people that even though the idol was a representation of god it is not god himself. Therefore the Idols dissolves away in the river or sea it shows that the idol is gone but god lives on forever and ever in every atom around you!!
Thank yoi for your detailed comment. I dont agree that both religions are different. You pray to an unknown entity pr3sent either in rice or water or inside of you, but you do have faith in the creator. I think faith is something we all share but differ in how we define the creator. Your thoughts ?
@@ReactionCheck Of course as a Hindu i believe that all gods are all the same Jesus, Allah or Ram are different names given by different people so we can feel closer to him/Her. But truthfully god has no name, no gender, they can be with form or without form. They are greater than our understanding hence i believe everything religion teaches is man made to grasp what god is. Loving god should have basic principles that translates to a loving, peacefull and fruitful world where everyone can live in peace. Shanti shanti shanti OM!!
All the statues made of clay and straw are put into the rivers which is called "Visarjan". This happens for all hindu festivals where the statues are made of clay and that event ends the celebrations until coming year....
After a deity has been worshipped, the statue is usually drowed in a river, preferably on of the sacred rivers like Ganga or Yamuna or its tributaires. Its called "visarjan". Next year, fresh statues of clay and straw are made :)
Durga idiols were dipped into the water that is known as visarjan after the completion of the festival we hindu do this Durga maa came and gone after 10 days she will come again next year
Hey quick facts... in UP, MP, Delhi and rest of northern India we celebrate Navratri which translates to nine (nav) nights (ratri) where each day is dedicated to one form of Goddess. Here people observe fasts and pray to the goddess of that day from the seventh day onwards people (depending on their family traditions) call young girls (as living forms of goddesses) from the age of 4 to 11 or 12 ( before they hit puberty) to their house in the morning and offer them fresh food like poori, chole, halwa and literally wash their feet and offer them goodies. The number of girls invited depends on the day the family observes this from 7,8 or 9 and one boy is also invited to be a part of this feast. In Gujrat and Maharashtra Navratri is celebrated as a major festival but there they pray to a bowl of fire (for the lack of better phrase) as we believe that mother goddess is the source of primal energy running through all living beings represented through that fire by dancing around (garba/dandiya) it on religious songs and even modern, film music. Both men and women dress their finest and spend all night dancing, socializing, praying, eating as a part of one big community. In the eastern part as shown in the video people celebrate from the fifth or sixth day onwards in a way that is truly magical and one really needs to visit Bengal to understand what Durga Pooja is just like the Gujarati Navratri are also a must-visit to experience a bliss of another kind.
If you put the word "India" in the title of your videos, you might show up in more search results and gain more subscribers :) Your channel definitely deserves many more subscribers.
the immersion in water is called visarjan and is done to deities of clay except for lakshmi and kartikeya . what you saw was the secular side of the festival. here is the link of belur mutt durga puja, you will se the religious side as well ruclips.net/video/f7oeyod-pp4/видео.html . The traditional Durga idol has all the gods in on frame. when they were first separated some 80 years ago, it sent shock waves among the Hindus of the city as it was considered blasphemy but now its mainstream .
You should listen to the dhak ( the things they hit with sticks on their shoulder) music... I can bet that would be the best thing you would ever hear....
Bhai, Hindu prayers, celebrations r not " Weired" as u said it is! It is one the most beautiful way of rejoicing at every small and big elements of Universe. We have different aspects to our religion. It doesnot restrict us express ourselves. Allowes us to freely exolore it. One aspect of the religion is local, family, traditional historic aspect ,other is Spiritual ,Knowledge based. As human nature is not same across region -" One way or Highway " donot work like other MonoTheaism preaches. Here ppl choose their way to pray and follow their heart whichever suits them. Durga pooja Signifies, Celebrates the Female energy of the Universe. We see that energy as a " Life Giver and protector, guide" of all living beings. We also recognise the same in each one of us and the power and potential each one of us posses. Like, how ww have birthday, National , This is a Celebration of Female energy from ancienr time. We donot ask for anything but Recognise and Honour the Element. 😊 Our religion ask us to recognise the Divine in everything that surrends us. That's why a cow, horse,elephant ,trees, mountaines, rivers, sun, moon stars everything is divine for us. 😊
You are so good. I love you so much ! I feel you keep talking so gently so beautifully elegantly passionately as that makes you reach the hearts. What's you name? Do share it. Keep doing good things
