 डा. निर्मलमणि अधिकारी “आयोदधौम्य”

मानव सभ्यताको लामो कालखण्डसम्म सारा संसारको जीवन–दर्शनले “वेद” बाट मूल आधार प्राप्त गरेको विश्वास गरिन्छ । नेपालजस्ता भारतवर्षका भू–खण्डमा त भफ्न् वेद एवं वैदिक परम्परालाई नै जीवन–दर्शनको एक मात्र दिग्दर्शक स्वीकारिएको थियो । कालान्तरमा वेदान्तर्गत तथा वेदबाह्यसमेत अनेक धार ाहरू विकास भए तापनि जरोचाहिँ वेद नै हो भन्ने चेतना पनि रहेकै देखिन्छ ।

नेपालको परिप्रेक्ष्यमा, वर्तमानमा “वेद” हाम्रा धर्म, संस्कृति, दर्शन, ज्ञान, सभ्यता, रितिथिति, चालचलन, परम्परा, प्रचलन, व्यवहार सबैको मूल हो भन्ने, ठान्ने एवं मान्ने जनसमुदायमा पनि “वेद” बारे विशेष जानकारीको भने अभाव रहेको देखिन्छ । वेदलाई श्रद्धा गर्ने, पूजा गर्ने, तर वेदको पठन–पाठन, चिन्तन–मनन,

what is Teej?

 Teej is a Hindu festival celebrated by women in various parts of India and Nepal. It is dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and is celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion. Teej typically falls in the Hindu month of Shravan, which usually corresponds to July or August in the Gregorian calendar.

There are several variations of Teej, with two of the most prominent ones being:

It is primarily observed by married women who pray for the well-being and long life of their husbands. Women wear green attire, adorn themselves with mehndi (henna), and participate in various rituals and festivities.

2. Hartalika Teej: This festival falls on the third day of the bright half of the lunar month of Bhadrapada, which usually corresponds to August or September. It is primarily celebrated in North India, especially in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Rajasthan. Married women fast on this day, praying for the prosperity and happiness of their families.
