लट्ठमार होली

‎'Lath mar Holi (Hindi: लट्ठमार होली) takes place well before the actual Holi celebration. It takes place at Barsana near Mathura in the state of Uttar Pradesh. People flock to the suburban town of Barsana near Mathura to see Lath Mar Holi, a special form of traditional festivity. Legend has it that Lord Krishna visited his beloved Radha's village on this day and playfully teased her and her friends. Taking offence at this, the women of Barsana chased him away. Since then, men from Krishna's village, Nandgaon, visit Barsana to play Holi in the town which has the distinction of having the only temple dedicated to Radha in India. In the sprawling compound of the Radha Rani temple in Barsana, thousands gather to witness the Lath Mar holi when women beat up men with sticks as those on the sidelines become hysterical, sing Holi Songs and shout Sri Radhey or Sri Krishna. The Holi songs of Braj mandal are sung in pure Braj Bhasha. आय जइयो शयाम बरसाने गाम , तोय रंग में खूब नहवाय दउंगी , होरी को मजा चखाय दउंगी। आय जइयो शयाम बरसाने गाम , तोय रंग में खूब नहवाय दउंगी , होरी को मजा चखाय दउंगी।

Chaturvedis' of Mathura

'''Talking about History''' Chaturvedi is an Indian family name (chatur = four, vedi = one who has learned the Vedas). A brahmin family name indicating that the title bearer's forefathers were proficient in all of the four Vedas (including the vedic branch one is born into). This was considered a significant achievement and an elevated social status. Legend has it that it takes 16 human lives for one to master the four vedas, the holy books of unlimited knowledge. If one were to master all the vedas in one human life, that was indeed a super human achievement and therefore the title Chaturvedi. Chaturvedis are also known as Mathur Chaturvedis. People who belonged to Mathura and know as 'Mathura Ke Choubey'. Among the Mathura ke Choubeys, there is one classification as 'Mithe'(sweet) and another as 'Kadwe'(bitter).

आम की लकड़ी का स्वस्तिक

हिन्दू धर्म व भारतीय संस्कृति में मांगलिक चिन्हों का विशेष महत्व है। स्वस्तिक, ऊं, गणेशजी आदि कुछ ऐसे चिन्ह है। जिन्हें बहुत शुभ व मंगलमय माना गया है। इसीलिए शादी हो या अन्य कोई कार्यक्रम इन सभी चिन्हों को पूजन में जरूर किया जाता है। सभी मांगलिक चिन्हों में से स्वस्तिक सबसे कल्याणकारी चिन्ह है। इस चिन्ह को सौभाग्य का प्रतीक माना जाता है। जिन्हें शुभ कार्यो में आम की पत्तियों को आपने लोगों को अक्सर घर के दरवाजे पर बांधते हुए देखा होगा क्योंकि आम की पत्ती ,इसकी लकड़ी ,फल को ज्योतिष की दृष्टी से भी बहुत शुभ माना जाता है। आम की लकड़ी और स्वास्तिक दोनों का संगम आम की लकड़ी का स्वस्तिक उपयोग किया जाए तो इसका बहुत ही शुभ प्रभाव पड़ता है। यदि किसी घर में किसी भी तरह वास्तुदोष हो तो जिस कोण में वास्तु दोष है उसमें आम की लकड़ी से बना स्वास्तिक लगाने से वास्तुदोष में कमी आती है क्योंकि आम की लकड़ी में सकारात्मक ऊर्जा को अवशोषित करती है। यदि इसे घर के प्रवेश द्वार पर लगाया जाए तो घर के सुख समृद्धि में वृद्धि होती है। इसके अलावा पूजा के स्थान पर भी इसे लगाये जाने का अपने आप में विशेष प्रभाव बनता ह
