Happy Bhogi & Makar Sankranti Festival

Express on this day our gratitude to sunlight, green plants and the farmers who cultivate the plants for our home, agriculture, and industrial needs. 

Science behind Bhogi / Makar Sankranti:

✔️ emphasis given to the life saving characteristic of solar energy. 

✔️ promotion of cropping patterns which can help to overcome the problems of soil health and water salinity.

✔️ strengthening the bonds between nature and human beings. The association of animal welfare with human well being. 

✔️ emphasis given to understanding the role of science as for example photosynthesis in improving agriculture.


More details about Bhogi & Makar Sankranti Festival -

✔️ Bhogi is a festival honouring Lord Indra, the God of Rains and Clouds, and it is a time when people pray to him for a bountiful crop and prosperity.


✔️ The first day is known as Bhogi. This is when the sun god is worshipped and people step out of the house in the morning to fly kites. The second day is called Sankranti and on this day, married women dress up in ethnic wear and have a get-together called Haldi-Kumkum which translates to turmeric-vermilion.


✔️ The ritual is called as “Bhogi mantalu” and is aimed at getting rid of old and negative things from your life and focus on new beginnings. 


Thanks 
B. Mahesh

बाबर सागरच्या दिशेने... (मध्यप्रदेश)

मी आणि दत्ता (कोल्हापूर) त्याच्या बायकोसोबत तासगांव मध्ये पोहचलो. हा दत्ता म्हणजे पुर्वी जेंव्हा मी कृषि विभागाच्या सेवेत काम करायचो तेंव्हाचा खास दोस्त... काही प्रासंगिक कार्यक्रमामुळे आम्ही तासगांव मध्ये थांबलो होतो. ऐतिहासिक काळापासून चालत आलेल्या परंपरेप्रमाणे आणि प्रत्येक घरातील वादांप्रमाने आमच्या सावळजच्या बोर्गे घराण्यात पण नेहमीप्रमाणे घरगुती वाद सुरू झाले होते, काहींना संपत्ती पाहिजे होती, तर काहींना मान. काहींना तर माहितच नव्हते की त्यांना पाहिजे काय. यामध्ये किंवा अश्या गोष्टींमध्ये आमच्या छोट्या आई आणि मोठ्या आई यांचा सहभाग असतोच असतो. ही आमच्या बोरगे घराण्याची परंपरा म्हणाला तरी चालेल.  आपला सहभाग असावा किंवा किमान गृहीत धरले जावे म्हणून मी एका काटीच्या सहाय्याने काही मोजणीची मापे टाकत होतो त्यावर मोठी आई मला विनाकारणच हिणवत होती. वास्तविक प्रधान पुरुषाच्या मृत्यूनंतर यथोचित संस्कार करून सत्ता हस्तांतरित होणे अपेक्षित होते. मी पण गेली दीड दोन तपे होईतोपर्यंत वाट पहात पहात साम्राज्याचे यथोचित संरक्षण करत होतो. हे करण्यासाठी मी आकाशपाताळ एक केले होते. एकाच वेळी तीन तीन शत्र
