அடியாமோடும் நின்னோடும் பிரிவின்றி ஆயிரம் பல்லாண்டு

வடிவாய் நின்வல மார்பினில் வாழ்கின்ற மங்கையும் பல்லாண்டு

வடிவார் சோதி வலத்துறையும் சுடராழியும் பல்லாண்டு

படைபோர் புக்கு முழங்கும் அப்பாஞ்சசன்னியமும் பல்லாண்டே !!!

Prayer is an interaction between the God and his devotee. It is about being at your purest self when praying to the God; at least for that moment when there’s no one else between you and him. And the conversation you do with your God can only happen when you’re true to yourself. It’s the same when you converse with your loved ones. The conversation is reduced to mere exchange of glances when the truth evades your words, both spoken and unsaid. (A Chhath devotee offering her morning prayers.)

Since last 10 years, Nimai is hanging himself in "Charak" during the Charak Puja.

 

Charak Puja is a very enchanting folk festival of the Southern Belt of Bangladesh and West Bengal. It is also known as "Nil Puja". The believers of the Hindu religion celebrate this on the last day of Chaitra (Chaitra Songkranti).

 

People believe that the festival will carry prosperity by eliminating the sorrow and sufferings of the previous year. The festival is actually a festival to satisfy "Lord Shiva", the great "Debadideb" of Hindu Religion. Though the festival takes place on the mid night of Chaitra Songkranti, the preparation phase usually starts before one month of the day.

 

The arrangement team of the festival go from village to village to procure the necessary components like paddy, oil, sugar, salt, honey, money and other items with the arranged cosmetics such as Shiva, Parvati and Narod. The cosmetic Shiva is locally called "Nil Pagol" or "Jal Katha". On midnight of the Songkranti, the worshippers are gathered together to worship the God and after Puja the "Prosad" is distributed.

 

In one place, it is also known as "Hajrha Puja". The woman doesn't take the meal before Puja on this day. Sometimes in this festival a human "Charak" is made ready to satisfy the Lord Shiva. The "Charak" is tied with a hook (Borshi) on his back and then he is moved around a bar with a long rope. Though it is risky, they arrange it.

Below is an excerpt from Sunrise With 12,999 Monks:

 

Imagine a river of 12,999 red and orange monk robes.

 

Surrounding them is a canyon of Buddhist devotees and smiling onlookers; all bathing in the golden aura of pure faith, love and joy.

 

Such is the scene every December in Chiang Mai; when Thailand’s monks come from near and far to bless the world and accept donations of alms for the coming year.

The whole universe is sum up in the Human Being. Devil is not a monster waiting to trap us, He is a voice inside. Look for Your Devil in Yourself, not in the Others. Don't forget that the one who knows his Devil, knows his God.
