The festival of Teej starts one and a half months ago, but the way it is observed has started to take a different form in the present time. It is said that the practice of fasting on Teej started with the belief that Parvati fulfilled her wish by fasting for Mahadev in mythological times. Teej festival is divided into three parts. Hariyali Teej falls on the third day of Poonrama in the month of Shravana. On the same day, Parbati's desire to marry Shivaji was revealed. This festival, mentioned in the legend, is celebrated with the development of human civilization after the end of the planting time of agriculture.In addition to protecting one's body by wearing mehendi, there was a tradition of eating nutritious food. It started to be taken as a short Teej. At this time, it is believed that the name Hariyali Teej festival is also given because the greenery everywhere creates happiness, joy and happiness in the mind. Kajari Teej is celebrated 15 days after that. On this day, married women go to their parents' house and prepare Bhulla and sing Teej song with bhajans with joy. All the women gather in one place and sing and dance. Krishna's arrival is greeted with grandeur by all the families sitting together. There is a tradition of eating tar on the day before Krishna Janmashti.It is tradition to celebrate Haritalika as Teej after 15 days.
There is a mythological story that on this day Parvati's father raised suspicions that Parvati would marry her to Vishnu. As Parvati was abducted by her friends and taken to the forest, Harat-Alika-Hartalika, Harit (Apahaht)-Alika-Haritalika are popular in both names.
Every year on the day of Bhadra Shukla Tritiya, the tradition of observing Nirhar fast on Teej dates back to ancient timesThe tradition that has existed since the Puranic period is clear. After Parvati underwent austerity, there is a legend that there must have been a tradition of fasting on the day of Teej due to the fact that she did penance alone without even drinking water. Also, since this day is considered as the day of Lord Krishna's death, it has become a tradition to celebrate it with special joy.
The tradition of eating sweet and delicious food on the day before Teej has been around since then. The tradition of eating sweet food until the chicken crows in the morning so that the stomach is firm on the day of fasting.The tradition of eating delicious food has been there since then. Our forefathers had established the custom of eating tar until the chickens hatched in the morning so that the stomach would be firm on the day of fasting. It is customary to fast and pray for good health and longevity of the family. It is customary to fast on the day before Teej by eating pure vegetarian food. Parvati fasted and did penance and her wish was fulfilled. Therefore, it is believed that unmarried girls will get a husband of their choice if they fast on this day. Since it is the time when the bridegroom who is given in marriage is at the peak of her marriage, she stays in the marriage on that day for the long life of her husband.It is believed that there is a tradition of wishing.
Our culture full of faith and belief has been going on since tradition. A woman questioned me and asked, 'If the husband's life would be prolonged by fasting, no man would die.' In the current environment, such an argument is natural. Will fasting on Teej really prolong the life of the husband? What is seen in practical knowledge rather than in theoretical knowledge? Studying it from different angles, the mother-in-law gives sweet dishes to the daughter-in-law and because she is not satisfied with too much food, fasting also makes the stomach empty and our body keeps make healthly.It is seen in the practical knowledge that helps people to be healthy.
By worshiping Gods and Goddesses with faith and faith in the mind, positive energy is generated in the body when fasting in this way. Fasting is a means of concentration. It is not necessary for working patients, sick and disabled. Instead of fasting outwardly, do what you can. Keep the mind at peace, do what the soul tells you to do. If we can, it is the greatest religion to give up pride, the tendency to hurt others, pride, misbehavior, harm, recklessness, and selfishness.
We will get fruits according to our actions. Our traditions and culture are celebrated with faith in some deity. As a result, you get positive energy and confidence in yourself. With the development of human civilization, we can study the fact that belief in people gives positive energy, which has been accepted since ancient times. Teej festival is celebrated in all communities according to their own culture and civilization. Happy Teej to all.
