Sindoor – An Age Old Tradition or Something More

We are so familiar with this famous dialogue from Om shanti om, "ek chutki sindoor ki kimat tum kya jano Ramesh babu.” Well this ek chutki has a lot of significance in our Indian tradition. Most Hindu weddings are not complete without the groom applying the Vermilion along the parting of bride's hair (Maang). The sindoor is considered as a blessing for the bride as the red color of sindoor indicates flowing blood, rejuvenating life especially of her husband. It is believed to protect her husband from evil and is considered so auspicious that for the longevity of her husband's life, the wife applies sindoor in her hair parting every single day till the time she remains married and her husband is living. In fact, application of sindoor is one of those things which is supported by both mythology and science. In Hindu tradition, it is commonly believed that Goddess Parvati used to apply sindoor in her hair partition. And as red color emancipates power, applying sindoor invokes shakti, i.e Parvati who is believed to protect the life of all husbands whose wives put sindoor on their head. As per Ramayana, Sita Ji used to put Sindoor to please Sri Ram. Even Hanuman ji started applying sindoor on his body to please his prabhu Sri Ram and that is the reason why even today, devotees offer sindoor on Hanuman idols. In fact, there is a famous aarti in Marathi “Sindoor Lal Chadhayo Gajamukha Ko” which indicates that sindoor is offered to Ganesh ji as well. Rooted in these mythological aspects, this tradition has a long history. Archaelogical excavations in Mehrgarh suggest that this ritual was also performed over 5000 years ago. Female figurines at this Harappan site were found with sindoor in their hair partition. This ritual is also mentioned in the Puranas, Lalitha Sahasranama and Soundarya Lahari. However, there is also a scientific aspect to this ... https://www.shimply.com/articles/sindoor-an-age-old-tradition-or-something-more/

Haldi Ceremony – More Than A Ritual

The best part about Indian Weddings is that they are full of beautiful rituals and customs which have a deep meaning. However, we often end up following these customs blindly without fully understanding their significance. Such is the case with the quintessential Haldi ceremony which has been a part of Indian weddings for centuries. The most common and regular use of Haldi or Turmeric is as an ingredient in Indian cuisine. Then it makes little sense as to why an entire ritual is named after this food ingredient. Well, not only does applying haldi help in getting a fair and glowing skin (oh yeah!), its saffron color is also believed to protect the wedding couple and ward off evil eye. That is why in many customs, once the haldi ceremony has taken place, it is advisable for the bride and groom to not go out or meet each other until they get married.  Yellow color of Haldi is considered so auspicious that it is believed that applying this color will result in a peaceful, prosperous and blissful married life for the couple. And the bath afterwards will cleanse and purify their body and soul. Due to the anti-septic properties of turmeric (an ayurvedic and organic herb), the couple will also be free from any cut, bruise or ailment before the wedding. However, these are not the only reasons why this ceremony is so very special. Organised at both bride's and groom's house separately just before the wedding day, the haldi ceremony is not just an ordinary ritual but one which strengthens the existing bonds and marks the foundation of new bonds. This ceremony brings close friends and family together before the main wedding ceremony in an informal kind of setting. It's such a beautiful sight to witness that while the elders are applying haldi to the bride and groom, giving them their blessings for new life, ... https://www.shimply.com/articles/haldi-ceremony-more-than-a-ritual/

Maternity Clothes That Aren’t Ugly

Motherhood is one of the blessed moments in a woman’s life. Once you come to know that you are pregnant, you are very excited and can’t wait to see your baby’s face. At the same time, you are a little worried about the ever increasing size of your tummy and want to cover it so that people do not notice it easily. While many women go for the ultra comfortable loose fit maternity clothes, the idea of wearing them adds to the pregnancy woes for some. If you are somewhere in the second group, you my dear mother, need not worry anymore:) During the first trimester, your bump will not show much. So you can cover it up easily by wearing A-line skirts, soft knits, empire-waisted tops, wrap skirts and dresses. Avoid wearing anything that is tight and clingy, as these types of clothes can easily reveal the slight bump. The outfit you choose must flow over your belly, hips and the thighs so that it covers the few pounds that you have gained during the first three months of your pregnancy. You can choose ‘blouson’ style tops for women, which have a fitted waistband at the bottom and some room above the waistband. Here the fabric falls loosely over your belly and the fitted waistband provides more shape to your body. Wear this with a pair of stretch jeans and you will feel comfortable. Tunics are also a good option. They are fitted well across the shoulders and arms and flow gracefully over your belly, camouflaging the extra weight in the middle. As you reach the second trimester, people start noticing your bump. You will have to change your underwear as well and buy a bigger size.

What is RO water for health-क्या RO का पानी स्वास्थ के लिए है

आज एक फैशन सा चल निकला है लोग ये सोच कर RO का पानी इस्तेमाल करते है कि हम बीमारियों से बचे रहेगे जिसे देखो आज RO घर में लगवाने की होड़ में दौड़ रहा है क्या कभी सोचा है कि RO का पानी पीने से हमें क्या मिल रहा है यही तो बात हमारे हिन्दुस्तान में है लोग एक दूसरे की देखा-देखी में कम्पटीशन में हर वो काम करते चले जाते है जिससे आप लोगो को ये कह सके कि हमारे पास भी है आइये जानते है RO के पानी की पूरी सच्चाई -

वैसे जब हमारे देश में जब RO का चलन नहीं था तो क्या लोग जादा बीमार हुआ करते थे -आप पिछले सारे आंकड़े उठा के देख ले तो आपको पता हो जाएगा आज लोग जादा बीमार है -ये सब एक षड्यंत्र के तहत है विदेशी कम्पनियों का विज्ञापन के जरिये फैलाया गया माया जाल है और हम भेडचाल की तरह अनुगमन करते जा रहे है बस आपको कोई दिमाक में ठूंस-ठूंस कर भरने वाला एक व्यक्ति चाहिए-आपने खुद ब खुद को बीमार करने का ठेका जो लिया है तो कोई भला क्या कर सकता है -आप अपने जीवन में आधुनिकता की दौड़ में इतने खो चुके है कि आपको सच्चाई भी अब कडवी ही लगती है-

विज्ञापन अधिकतर उस चीज का किया जाता है जो लगभग घटिया किस्म का हो और फिर जिसे दिखा-दिखा या समझा -समझा कर आपके दिमाक में इतना भर दिया जाता है कि आपको वो चीज सबसे उपयुक्त ही लगने लगे -कोल्ड ड्रिंक का विज्ञापन दिखा-दिखा कर आपके बच्चो की जुबान तक पर रटा दिया जाता है -

आज स्टेशनों दुकानों में भी फ़िल्टर पानी बेचा जाता है और आप ये सोच कर पीते है हम बीमार नहीं होंगे -क्या आपको पता है कि पानी में बहुत से मिनरल होते है और जब ये काटरेज फ़िल्टर से पास होता है तो बहुत सारे मिनरल तो ख़त्म हो जाते है B-12 उसमे से समाप्त हो जाता है जो हमारे शरीर के लिए लाभदायक था-

आपके घर पर जो भी 10वी पास सर्विस इंजिनियर आते हैं, उनसे पूंछिये कि कितने टीडीएस का जल पीना चाहिए तो बोलेंगे 50 टीडीएस का- जो उनको सिर्फ रटाया गया है उनसे पूछे मनुष्य के लिए पानी में कौन-कौन से मिनरल चाहिए तो कहेगे जी ये तो पता नहीं है मगर धडल्ले से रो बेचे जा रहे है कई बंद बोतलों का पानी भी चेक किया गया लेकिन किसी में 20 टीडीएस तक का पानी नहीं मिला-वैज्ञानिकों के अनुसार मानव शरीर 500 टीडीएस तक का पानी सहन करने की छमता रखता है परंतु RO में 18 से 25 टीडीएस तक पानी की शुद्धता होती है जो कि शारीर के लिए बहुत ही घातक हैं-

एशिया और योरोप में तो रो के पानी पे प्रतिबंध भी लगाया जा चुका है भारत ही एक ऐसा देश है जहाँ सिर्फ शरीर के लिए घातक चीजो को बेचने की आजादी है -रो के पानी में 92 से 99 प्रतिशत मनुष्य के लिए जरुरी मैग्नीशियम और कैल्शियम तो नष्ट हो जाते है -

क्या आपको पता है कि RO से पानी बनाने के लिए 50 प्रतिशत पानी को हम ऐसे ही बेकार कर देते है दो लीटर पानी से एक लीटर RO WATER तैयार होता है हम सभी लोगो के लिए 7 से 7.5 पी.एच और 200 से 250 टी.डी.एस तथा 50 हार्डनेस वेल्यु का पानी होना चाहिए - कोई भी RO वाटर क्वालिटी मेन्टेन ही नहीं करता है ये सिर्फ आपको साफ़ पानी देता है बोतल में बंद पानी की कहानी भी कुछ अलग है उनकी टी.डी.एस बस 10 के लगभग ही होती है पी.एच बढाने के लिए तथा मिनरल को मेन्टेन रखने के लिए अलग से केमिकल का उपयोग होता है-

जब भी आप बाहर का या नल का पानी पीते है कुछ ही दिनों में आपके पेट में दर्द रहने लग जाता है क्योंकि आपके सिस्टम को RO पानी की आदत पड़ी हुई है और आपकी प्रतिरोधक छमता कम हो चुकी है जो लोग RO का पानी पीते है वो लोग गाँव या छोटी बस्ती में रहने वालो की तुलना में देखे तो आप पायेगें कि उनके आंतो.की प्रतिरोधक छमता आपकी प्रतिरोधक छमता से जादा है-

It was called kaffa and was found during the excavations in British Isles. Kaffa differs from the ear cuffs of today, which consist of earrings and clip-ons that attach to the ear lobes. Kaffa was made to attach to the pinna, the visible outside edge of the ear. So to wear these ear cuffs, ears did not have to be pierced. These ear cuffs were available in elaborate deigns and large sizes. Early kaffas were made of brass and were worn by both men and women. Later, in 350 BC, golden kaffas were found to be adorned by the Greek aristocrats. They were more elaborate and fine in design and were worn as status symbols. Images of kaffa were found in ancient Indian art, which dated back to the 12th century. These were made with precious metals and stones. They were decorated with several chains and pearls and they were clipped from the earlobe to the nose or the hair. These were worn mostly on weddings and important celebrations. Ear cuffs in India were known as kaan phool. Even now you can see women wearing ear cuffs for weddings, festivals and other such celebrations.

Further attention is married dock-शादीशुदा है तो आगे से ध्यान रक्खे

'एक कहावत है शादी वो लड्डू है जो नहीं खाता वो भी पछताता है जो खाता है वो भी पछताता है' -ख़ैर "अब पछताए होत क्या जब चिड़ियाँ चुग गई खेत"

जब तक शादी नहीं होती है आप किसी दोस्त के घर जाएँ तो अगर उसके घर में कोई जवान बहन इत्यादि है तो आपको अंदर आने को नहीं कहता है बेचारा आपको बाहर से ही बाहर निपटा देता है इसलिए आपको एक लाइसेंस मिले इसके लिए शादी करना भी आवश्यक है -

आपको शादी के बंधन में बाँधने और उकसाने वाले तरह-तरह की सलाह भी देते है क्युकि लोग किसी की ख़ुशी से भला कहाँ खुश होते है आपकी फक्कड अलमस्त जिन्दगी से उनको जलन होती है इसलिए उन पे जो बीत रही है वो चाहते है आप भी उसका थोडा मजा ले-

चलो अब बात करते है कि कि शादी कर भी ली है तो कोई बुराई नहीं है बस अब आप तैयार हो जाए कुछ कामों को अपनी जिन्दगी में ढालने के लिए-

सबसे पहले यदि आप अपनी पत्नी को खुश देखना चाहते है तो एक बात का विशेष ध्यान रक्खे -कुछ भी हो जाए आप भूल कर भी अपनी पत्नी के मायके वालो की बुराई कदापि  न  करे -अगर शांति पूर्वक जिन्दगी बिताना है तो उल्टे अपनी ससुराल की तारीफ़ ही करते रहे-

शादी के बाद लगभग सभी बाते कामन होती है जो आपको बड़े -बूढ़े-बुजुर्ग-भाभी या women(महिलाओं) से जानने को मिल जाती है लेकिन कुछ बाते है जो आपको ही समझना पड़ेगा तो आइये अब चलते है कुछ और सीक्रेट बातें जिनको आपको अपनी लाइफ में अवश्य करना चाहिए -

इस पोस्ट में हम आपको पति और पत्नी दोनों के लिए नुस्खे प्रदान कर रहे है-अच्छा लगे तो रख ले और अगर बुरा लगे तो हमें वापस कर दे-

शादी के बाद सबसे पहले आप दो पाटों के बीच पिसने को तैयार हो जाए क्युकि पत्नी शादी के बाद आप पे अपना पूरा हक़ जताती है आखिर क्यों न हो अग्नि के फेरे लेकर आपने जो वचन दिए है और आपकी माँ जिसने आपको नव माह तक अपने गर्भ में रक्खा और उसके बाद आपका पालन-पोषण किया है तो वो भी अपना हक़ अपने बेटे से कैसे हटा ले -बस आपको कुछ नहीं करना है दोनों को पटा(समझा) कर रखना है अगर गलती से भी आपने अपनी माँ का पक्ष ले भी लिया है -तो तैयार हो जाइए मार्केट से गिफ्ट लाके पत्नी को देने की -क्युकि गिफ्ट देखकर पत्नी का गुस्सा कुछ हद तक कम अवस्य हो जाएगा-

लड़कियां भी ध्यान दे- आपको भी अगर आराम दायक शान्ति प्रिय जीवन बिताना है तो अपनी सासू माँ को अवश्य ही पटा कर रक्खे अगर आप एक छत के नीचे रहना चाहती है तो रिश्ता लड़के की माँ से बना कर रखने से आपको फायदा ही मिलने वाला है अगर आपने लव-मैरिज की है तो इस गलत-फहमी में न रहे कि पति सिर्फ आपकी ही बात मानेगा -शादी के पहले भले ही आपका होने वाला जीवन साथी आपकी हर अदा पर और काम करने की काबलियत पर सौ बार फिदा होता रहा हो पर- शादी के बाद उसे अपना घर और खाना सब कुछ बिल्कुल वैसा चाहिए जैसा उसकी मां करती रही है इसलिए आपको पति को खुश रखना है तो अपनी सासू माँ से ही सब कुछ सीखना पड़ेगा-

अब तक आप ने जो किया आपके माँ-बाप ने ये सोच कर करने दिया था कि बहू के आने पर खुद-ब-खुद सुधार लेगी- ये जिम्मेदारी सिर्फ बहूँ की समझते है -मगर कभी सोचा है जो काम आपके माँ-बाप इतने सालों में नहीं कर सके तो कल की आई बहूँ को क्या कोई "सम्मोहन ज्ञान" आता है उसे भी तो समझने में साल-दो साल लग ही जायेगे और अगर पत्नी में गुणों का अभाव हुआ तो भी वो आपको आपके ही हाल पे छोड़ देगी-तो आप अपने जीवन साथी के साथ नई जीवन की शुरुवात करे -आप ही खुद को जब सोचेगे तभी बदल पायेगे-

आप कलह से और फिजूल खर्ची से बचना चाहते है तो आपको अपनी कमाई का पूरा हिसाब-किताब अपनी पत्नी को देना चाहिए इससे दो फायदे होगे-पहला आपकी फिजूल-खर्ची पे अंकुश लगेगा और दूसरा आपकी पत्नी कभी भी आप को शक की नजरों से नहीं देखेगी-हाँ एक बात अवश्य ध्यान रक्खे पत्नी को अगर आप पैसे देते है तो भूल-कर भी आप अपनी पत्नी से हिसाब मांगने की जुर्रत भी न करे वर्ना परिणाम घातक ही होगा-

पत्नियों को शादी के बाद एक बात का और भी ख्याल रखना चाहिए कि भले आप पहले मंगेतर रही हो लेकिन अब लेकिन अब आप मंगेतर नहीं है पहले आपके पार्टनर आपका ख्याल अवश्य रखते रहे हो आपकी छोटी-से-छोटी बातों के लिए आपका हर काम करने में अपना अहोभाग्य समझते हो लेकिन अब ऐसा नहीं होने वाला है पति किचन में आपका हाथ नहीं बँटाने वाला है उस काम को आपको ही करना है और वो भी लाचीज व्यंजन के साथ -भले आपका पति अगर किचन में जाकर जला-भुना भी बना लाये तो उसे कोसे नहीं बल्कि आप उनका अहसान ही समझे-

आपकी पत्नी भले ही हर बात अपनी माँ से शेयर करती हो कि दिन भर आप क्या क्या करते है आपके घर वाले उसे क्या-क्या ताने या बाते सुनाते है लेकिन उसकी गलतियों की बाते आप अपनी माँ से शेयर करे तो भूल कर भी ये गलती मत करना वर्ना आपके घर में ही कुरुक्षेत्र बनने वाला है-

आप लड़की थी और अब आप पत्नी बन कर ससुराल आ गई है यहाँ लड़के के माता पिता आपके अपने है लेकिन आप अपने माता-पिता को सिर्फ मेहमान की तरह ही बुलाये और मेहमान नवाजी के बाद जल्द ही बिदा करने की सोचे -क्युकि हो सकता है आपके नए परिवार में उनको कुछ खामियां नजर आ जाए और फिर आप तो समझ सकती है मुंह है कुछ न कुछ आपके कान भरने से आपका मस्तिष्क चेंज हो सकता है और ये भी हो सकता है कि आपका भरा पूरा परिवार उनकी बातों से कष्ट में आये - सुने भले ही लेकिन उनकी बातो को लागू करने की भूल कदापि न करे -

आप अपने फैसले को पति पर थोपने का प्रयास न करे आप सिर्फ सलाह दे कि "हम सोचते है आप ऐसा करते तो जादा अच्छा होता लेकिन आपने भी  कुछ सोच समझ कर फैसला लिया होगा" ये बात कह कर आप उनको सोचने पे मजबूर कर सकती है और हो सकता है वो अपना फैसला बदल लें-

वैसे पतियों को भी एक बात का ख्याल रखना चाहिए कि यदि आपकी पत्नी रूठ गई है तो आप ही पहल करिए मनाने का और हो सके तो सॉरी आप ही पहले कहें-

मुझे जो सलाह देनी थी हमने दे दी बाकी फैसला तो आप ही करेगे क्युकि हम जानते है "शुरू-शुरू में हर व्यक्ति मर्द ही होता है लेकिन फिर भी वो आखिर में पत्नी का ही गुलाम बन जाता है"

Indian Jewellery – Now and then

Known for the intricate patterns and beautiful designs, Indian jewellery is in great demand all over the world. As old as Indian civilisation itself, the origin of jewellery in India can be traced back to 5000 years ago.  Jewellery excavated from the sites of Indus valley civilisation shows that bead jewellery was very much in fashion in those times. Although women were more fond of it, men also wore beads. Women also loved earrings and bracelets made of shells and clay, which were black in color and resembled doughnuts. In fact, handcrafted jewellery out of seeds, feathers, leaves, berries, fruits, flowers, animal bones was also made as part of body jewellery. Jewellery was not just seen as an adornment in those times but it was also seen as protection against evil forces and that's why a maniratna or sandalwood beads were worn. Beaded jewellery remained very popular till 2100 BC. However, by 1500 BC, the concept of metal evolved and gold necklaces, metallic bangles and beautiful gold earrings were made. In fact, we started importing gold and exporting diamond. India being the first country to mine diamonds in 296 BC, started trading them for other precious commodities from other countries. Gold and silver became the most used metals as they were considered to be sacred. Gold represented the warmth of the sun and silver the calmness of the moon. As gold did not corrode with time, it was associated with immortality in Hindu tradition. In fact, gold was so popular in ancient India that it finds mention in most ancient Indian literatures like Silappatikaram. A special bracelet called kada was also worn by people from time immemorial. The patterns of kada were inspired by peacock, elephants and other such animals. With the royalty coming into picture, wearing gold jewellery became the right of the priveleged, i.e the ... https://www.shimply.com/articles/indian-jewellery-now-and-then/
