Happy Basant Panchami
India is a beautiful and mysterious country that celebrates each event and season with festivity and some life message. It doesn’t worship strength and wealth but also worship knowledge and wisdom and therefore placed Sarasvati Puja at the top. India social order was also based on knowledge, strength and wealth and therefore it had placed Brahmin at the top and Kshtriya and Vaishya thereafter who worship Saraswati, Durga and Lakshmi respectively. Knowledge is the base on which wealth and strength can be built upon is the message.
Meaning of Basant/Vasant is Spring but it is celebrated 40 days before the full bloom on Holi on fifth bright day of Magh. Rabi crops sown in winter will be harvested in spring and therefore this is the free time for households to think, read and focus more on the children’s education. It’s time to attend social events too. As spring is the natural mating season for the humans, many marriages take place on the day of Basant Pamchami.
Worship knowledge and wisdom. Happy Basant Panchami.๐ผ๐ธ๐บ๐๐ฟ๐น
