Diwali Kyun Aur Kaise Manayi Jaati Hai?
Diwali ya Deepavali Hindu dharm ka sabse bada aur pramukh tyohar hai. Yeh tyohar buraee par acchaee aur andhere par ujale ki jeet ka prateek hai. Maanyata hai ki is din Bhagwan Shri Ram, Mata Sita aur Lakshman Ji ke saath 14 varsh ka vanvas poora kar ke Ayodhya laute the, jiske swagat mein Ayodhya vasiyon ne poori nagri ko ghee ke diye se jagmagaya tha.
Diwali Manane Ke Tarike Aur Mahatva:
Gharon ki Safai aur Sajavat: Is tyohar se pehle gharon ki gehari safai ki jaati hai aur Lakshmi ji ke swagat ke liye sundar Rangoli banayi jaati hai.
Laxmi-Ganesh Pujan: Diwali ki shaam ko Dhan aur Samriddhi ki devi Mata Lakshmi aur Vighnaharta Ganesh Ji ki vishesh puja hoti hai.
Deep jalana aur Mithaiyan: Ghar-ghar mein diye jalaye jaate hain aur apnon ko mithaiyan aur gifts baante jaate hain.

Holi Kyun Aur Kaise Manayi Jaati Hai?
Holi rango aur aapsi bhaichare ka tyohar hai jo Phalguna (Spring) ke mahine mein manaya jata hai. Yeh tyohar Bhakt Prahlad ki suraksha aur buraee ki prateek Holika ke dahan ki yaad mein manaya jata hai. Saath hi, yeh Bhagwan Krishna aur Radha Rani ke pavan prem ka bhi utsav hai.
Holi Manane Ke Tarike Aur Mahatva:
Holika Dahan: Holi se ek raat pehle lakadiyon ka dher banakar Holika dahan kiya jata hai, jo hamare andar ki buraiyon ko jalane ka sandesh deta hai.
Dhulandi (Rango ki Holi): Agle din log ek doosre ko gulal lagate hain, pani ke gubbare phodte hain aur dhol ki thaap par naachte hain.
Aapsi Matbhed Door Karna: Holi par purani dushmani ya gile-shikve bhoolkar log ek doosre ko gale lagate hain. Is din 'Gujhia' jaise pakwan sabka munh meetha karate hain.

Navratri Aur Dussehra Kyun Manaya Jata Hai?
Navratri 9 dinon ka ek pavan utsav hai jisme Maa Durga ke 9 alag-alag roopon (Shakti) ki pooja ki jaati hai. Maanyata hai ki Maa Durga ne 9 dinon tak Mahishasur se yudh kar ke 10vein din us buraee ka ant kiya tha. Isi 10vein din ko Dussehra (Vijayadashami) ke roop mein manaya jata hai, jab Bhagwan Ram ne Lankapati Ravan ka vadh kiya tha.
Is Utsav Ke Pramukh Akarshan:
Ghatasthapana aur Garba/Dandiya: Navratri ke pehle din kalash sthapna hoti hai aur log 9 dinon ka vrat rakhte hain. Gujarat aur poore desh mein log sundar kapde pehan kar Garba aur Dandiya khelte hain.
Kanya Pujan: Ashtami ya Navami ke din choti kanyaon ko Maa Durga ka roop maan kar unhe bhojan karaya jata hai aur aashirwad liya jata hai.
Ravan Dahan: Dussehra ke din Ravan, Kumbhakaran aur Meghnad ke bade effigies (putle) jalaye jaate hain, jo yeh sikhata hai ki ghamand aur buraee chahe kitni bhi badi ho, jeet hamesha sach ki hoti hai.
Ant Mein
Yeh teeno tyohar sirf dhoom-dham se manane ke liye nahi hain, balki yeh hume apne parivar se judna, buraiyon ko chhodna aur jeevan mein hamesha sahi raaste par chalna sikhate hain.
