But, now the wait is finally over!!! 🤩

Here presenting my 1st Vlog!! ✨ It's of Jagannath Puri 🏖️ Honestly saying, I didn't planned this vlog along with the journey but as the saying goes....

"Everything happens in it's own time, in the divine's timing" ✨

I later on had the idea of compiling the clips together and making a vlog out of it. And here it is.... 🤩

Sharad Purnima | Significance | Full moon

  A very happy Sharad Purnima to you and your family!!

Sharad Poornima is also known as  Kojaagari Poornima or Kumar Poornima. It is celebrated on the full moon day of the Hindu lunar month of Ashvin. The brightness of the full moon brings special joy. It is believed that on this day, the Moon through its rays showers amrit or elixir of life on earth. It is also referred to as Rasa Poornima, or Sharath Poornima.

The “Sharad” in Sharad Poornima signifies the “Sharad ritu” (season) of the year. Basically a harvest festival, it also has religious significance. It is believed that on this night Goddess Lakshmi visits from place to place asking Kojagari (meaning “Who is awake”) and bless those who are found awake. Therefore, people don’t sleep this night and spend whole night singing, dancing and remembering god. Another belief is that Goddess Lakshmi was born on Sharad Poornima.

[ P.S - These were the first shots taken from manual mood of my camera and it was really a divine and a dream come true experience for me :) ]

As per Hindu mythology, it is believed that the Maha-Raas (form of dance) of Radha Krishna along with their gopis takes place on the night of Sharad Purnima, which is why Sharad Purnima Puja is also known as Raas Purnima. 

It has got some medical significance too. It is considered that the Moon and the Earth are at a closer distance on Sharad Poornima night. Due to this, the rays of the moon have several curative properties. Keeping food under the moonlight nourishes both the body and the soul.  That is why, Kheer is prepared at kept under moonlight for the whole night and eaten in morning, on the next day.

Along with this, it has got some spiritual significance too, not only the Sharad purnimaor this full moon but all the full moons.

The full moon’s spiritual meaning illuminates a time of heightened emotions and potent creativity.

When the moon is fully illuminated by the sun’s rays, the view from Earth is that of a complete orb, seemingly emitting its own light. Time spent under this reflected light of the full moon has the power to be transformational, intense, and inspiring. It can also add intensity to whatever emotions are living in you, so it’s helpful to be intentional about what you are focusing on. 

The full moon offers an opportunity to sit in the fullness of your life. It is a time to feel deep gratitude for the many blessings you have and experience. It is also a powerful time to recommit yourself to the projects and relationships that mean the most to you. Let the light of the full moon illuminate what is working for you and amplify those areas by being intentional about the ways you will move forward in your life. The practice of gratitude is both simple and profound, and the energy of a full moon can create a heightened experience of bliss as you bask in all of the goodness that surrounds you.

There is a profound and spiritual connection between the full moon, the tides, and our emotions. The full moon is often experienced as a time of deep emotional intensity. Just as the full moon pulls on the tides and creates more dramatic tidal changes between highs and lows, some people ( including me :( ) experience the same in their emotional lives. Bringing awareness to the lunar cycle and preparing yourself through meditation and scheduling  can go a long way in avoiding the emotional roller coaster that some people experience with this phase. Offer yourself a healthy dose of compassion and some extra self-care during this time of the lunar cycle.

या देवी सर्वभू‍तेषु माँ चंद्रघंटा रूपेण संस्थिता।

नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नम:।।

अर्थ : हे माँ! सर्वत्र विराजमान और चंद्रघंटा के रूप में प्रसिद्ध अम्बे, आपको मेरा बार-बार प्रणाम है। या मैं आपको बारंबार प्रणाम करता हूँ। हे माँ, मुझे सब पापों से मुक्ति प्रदान करें।

आज नवरात्र का तीसरा दिन है. नवरात्र के तीसरे  दिन मां चंद्रघंटा की पूजा करने का विधान है.  भगवती दुर्गा अपने तीसरे स्वरूप में चन्द्रघण्टा नाम से जानी जाती हैं।  इनका रूप परम शांतिदायक और कल्याणकारी है। इनके मस्तक में घंटे के आकार का अर्धचन्द्र है। इसी कारण से इन्हें चन्द्रघंटा देवी कहा जाता है।

माता चंद्रघंटा का रंग स्वर्ण के समान चमकीला है। माता के तीन नैत्र और दस हाथ हैं। इनके कर-कमल गदा, बाण, धनुष, त्रिशूल, खड्ग, खप्पर, चक्र और अस्त्र-शस्त्र हैं, अग्नि जैसे वर्ण वाली, ज्ञान से जगमगाने वाली दीप्तिमान देवी हैं चंद्रघंटा। ये शेर पर आरूढ़ है तथा युद्ध में लड़ने के लिए उन्मुख है। 

मां चंद्रघंटा की कृपा से साधक के समस्त पाप व बाधाएं ख़त्म हो जाती हैं। मां चंद्रघंटा की कृपा से साधक पराक्रमी व निर्भय हो जाता है। मां चंद्रघंटा प्रेतबाधा से भी रक्षा करती है, इनकी आराधना से वीरता-निर्भयता के साथ ही सौम्यता एवं विनम्रता का विकास होकर मुख, नेत्र तथा संपूर्ण काया का भी विकास होता है। मां चंद्रघंटा की उपासना से मनुष्य समस्त सांसारिक कष्टों से मुक्ति पाता है।

चंद्रशेखर भगवान शिव का एक मंत्रमुग्ध करने वाला नाम है जो दो शब्दों - चंद्र (चंद्रमा) और शेखर (मुकुट) के मिलन से बना है, जिसका अर्थ है भगवान जिसके साथ चंद्रमा उनके मुकुट के रूप में है। चंद्रशेखर नाम भगवान के साथ कैसे जुड़ा, इसके बारे में एक दिलचस्प कहानी यहां दी गई है।

माता पार्वती ने इस धरती पर कई बार अवतार लिया और शिव से बार-बार विवाह में शामिल हुईं। अपने एक जन्म के दौरान, वह राजा हिमवान और रानी मेनावती के घर हेमवती नाम के साथ पैदा हुई थी। हेमावती को उनकी अद्वितीय भक्ति के कारण भगवान शिव से गहरा लगाव था। अपना सारा समय उन्होंने भगवान शिव का ध्यान और पूजा करने में बिताया। अंत में, भगवान शिव ने कृपापूर्वक उससे विवाह करने के लिए स्वीकार कर लिया। भगवान शिव की पूरी टुकड़ी हिमवान के महल में पहुंची।

पार्वती की माता मेनावती ने कल्पना की थी कि भगवान शिव का व्यक्तित्व आकर्षक होगा। जब अंतत: उसे अपने सामने देखा, तो उसे बाघ की खाल में उलझे बालों और राख से सना हुआ शरीर देखकर वह चौंक गई। अपनी बेटी की शादी एक उग्र दिखने वाले व्यक्तित्व की कल्पना करने में असमर्थ, वह जमीन पर गिर पड़ी। उसे शांत करने के लिए, यह निर्णय लिया गया कि भगवान शिव को दूल्हे के रूप में उपयुक्त श्रृंगार के साथ तैयार किया जाएगा। दुल्हन के भाई की भूमिका निभाते हुए भगवान विष्णु ने यह जिम्मेदारी ली। 

भगवान विष्णु ने अपनी सभी शक्तियों और कौशल को भगवान शिव को उनके रूप में सर्वश्रेष्ठ बनाने के लिए लगाया। दूल्हे को सजाने के लिए भव्य कपड़े और शानदार आभूषण लाए गए थे। अंतिम स्पर्श के रूप में, चंद्रमा को पृथ्वी पर लाया गया और भगवान शिव के मुकुट के रूप में रखा गया। अब यह रूप मंत्रमुग्ध कर देने वाला और मोहक था। चंद्रशेखर के रूप में शिव अवर्णनीय सौंदर्य के साथ प्रकट हुए। शादी अच्छी थी और अभूतपूर्व भव्यता के साथ संपन्न हुई। तभी से चंद्रशेखर के रूप में भगवान शिव के इस रूप की पृथ्वी और स्वर्ग में पूजा की जाने लगी।

Metamorphosis | Butterfly blog | Capturegenic

 Everyone is like a butterfly at starting, we start out ugly and awkward and under go remarkable transformation  in life but it depends upon us that how patiently we wait for the right time and how bravely we break our cocoon, our comfort zone with our elegant but strong wings and then morph into beautiful , graceful butterflies that everyone loves, that’s ready to share its beauty with the world. And then, there is no looking back....

                                                                                                        -  Kamya 🦋

Facts to stimulate your mind :  1.The butterfly and moth develop through a process called metamorphosis. This is a Greek word that means transformation or change in shape.

 2.  Butterflies are cold-blooded and require – in ideal settings – a body temperature of approximately 85 degrees to activate their flight muscles. If the weather begins changing some species simply migrate in search of sunshine. Some, like the North American Monarch, travel an average of 2,500 miles!
