SUMMARY:Margashirsha Poornima (Satyanarayan Pooja at Temple)
DESCRIPTION:Significance of Margashirsha Purnima:\nThe month of Margashirsha is considered very auspicious in the traditional Hindu calendar. In the Hindu religious scriptures\, this month is also referred as ‘Magsar’\, ‘Agahan’ or ‘Agrahayan’. It is believed that young girls who take a holy dip in the River Yamuna on Margashirsha Purnima will get desired life partner. Just like the lunar months of Vaishakh\, Kartik and Magha\, taking a bath in the holy rivers on Margashirsha Purnima is very important. Pundits and scholars believe that by performing charitable activities on this sacred day\, all the sins will be relieved. On Margashirsha Purnima\, Lord Vishnu is worshipped as ‘Narayana’. Also\, fasting on the day of Margashirsha Purnima grants fulfilment of all desires or wishes.

SUMMARY:Gujarati New Year\,  Bhai Dooj
DESCRIPTION:The festival marks sibling bonds\, simplicity\, and devotion\, traditionally celebrated across the country. The festival holds a significant place\, in Maharashtra\, Bihar\, West Bengal and other states of India. Apart from India\, Nepal also celebrates a similar festival termed Bhai Tikka. The festival starts with the preparation of thali. Sisters prepare a special thali that contains rice\, vermilion (kumkum)\, sandalwood paste\, sweets\, and a diya (oil lamp). The thali represents the elements used in the aarti and tilak ceremonies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe sisters apply tilak to the brother’s forehead; this tilak ritual is auspicious and is believed to protect the brothers from evil influences. After that\, she performed an arti for their brothers by circling the diya around them while chanting prayers. This is a gesture to invoke divine blessings for their brothers’ long life and prosperity.

SUMMARY:Karwa Chauth
DESCRIPTION:Karwa Chauth will be celebrated on Sunday\, October 20. Pooja will start at 6:10 PM.  Please be at the Temple by 5:30 pm to start pooja on time. Chandrodaya time (moonrise) is at 7:54 PM.  \nPlease bring the following samagri (items) for the pooja. \n(1) Kum-kum Powder ;  (2) Red Thread (Moli);   (3)  Chawal (Rice) ;  (4)  Phool (Flowers);   (5)  Phal (Fruits);  (6) Pan -Five Betel Leaves; (7) Supari (Two big betelnuts)  (8) Deepam (Lamp)  (9) Thali-One (10) Kalash (Pot) One\, and (11) One Spoon. \nPlease contact the priests at the Temple for any additional information at 613-822-1531 \n—————————————————————————- \nHistory and Story of Karwa Chauth\nKarwa Chauth is made up of two words; ‘Karwa’ which means earthen oil lamp and ‘Chauth’ which means four. Karwa Chauth is celebrated on the fourth day of the Kartik month in the Hindu Calendar. This is a very popular time of the year where friends and family get together to celebrate and meet the festival. The festival of Diwali is celebrated after nine days of Karwa Chauth. Karwa Chauth was initially used to celebrate the alliance between the bride and her in-laws\, but with time the ritual has changed. Nowadays Karwa Chauth is celebrated to seek blessings from the Almighty for husband’s long life and beneficial health. \nAs compared to the Southern India\, Karwa Chauth Fasting is more popular in the North. After the four day span of Karwa Chauth\, Ahoi Ashtami is celebrated for the well being and longevity of sons. Even though the original meaning of Karwa Chauth has changed with time from what it used to be but still the ritual of having a day long fast is followed with utmost enthusiasm and passion among the Indian women for the long life of their husband. \nThe History of Karwa Chauth is drawn backward to the ancient times. It is believed that Karwa Chauth was celebrated to cherish the bond between the bride and the women in her family. Now\, whatever the Karwa Chauth Story says\, it is now celebrated with amazing passion and is considered as one of the most auspicious occasions to cherish. The festival certainly reinforces the bond of love\, both between the wedded and committed couples. Thus\, it is seen as one of the most wonderful and special occasions for the couples.
