Chaitra, Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated in Trinidad & Tobago and all over
the world. He is the 11<sup>th</sup> rudra of Bhagwaan Shiv and is the greatest

reader, May your Navraatri/Nowraatam be filled with auspiciousness,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Navraatri/Nowraatam
is a festival dedicated to the worship of Bhagwaan in the form of the Divine
Mother. Navraatri is celebrated twice in the calendar year in Trinidad and Tobago.
The first celebration is done in the month of Chaitra which corresponds to
March/April and is called Chaitra Navraatri. This year’s Chaitra Navraatri will
start on the 2<sup>nd</sup> of April and will go up to Ram Navmi. The second celebration is called
Sharadeeya Navaatri and is celebrated around September/October.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Both
Navraatris are celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion in Trinidad and Tobago. All the
days are celebrated by every devotee to the best of their ability and capacity.
Of all the days of Navraatri, Durgaashtami is the most important because it is
the anniversary of the appearance of Maataa Durga. Kanya Puja is also done on the Ashtami. Everyone makes every effort
to make this day the most special day of all.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Durga Maataa Ki Jai!</span></p>R Maharajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08928658918794164776noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429836135420747010.post-91128516309305021002022-03-20T12:23:00.004-07:002022-03-22T06:07:15.598-07:00Holi/Phagwa Celebrations in Trinidad & Tobago Sunday 20th March, 2022.<p> </p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span face=""Nirmala UI",sans-serif" style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #222222; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Holi/Phagwa

thoughts on Chowtaal singing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Nirmala UI",sans-serif" style="background: white; border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #222222; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Chowtaal singing is the most popular of all the
various styles of singing done in the Holi/Phagwa celebrations of Trinidad and
Tobago. Of all the Chowtaals sung, the Chowtaal ‘Holi khele Raghubeera’ is the
perennial favourite. This Chowtaal was originally a Traditional Holi/Phagwa song
from Uttar Pradesh brought by the Indian indentured labourers who migrated from
that part of India. A few verses of the folk song related to Shree Ram were
taken and sung as Chowtaal for Holi/Phagwa. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel everyone in Trinidad knows the
Chowtaal –‘Holi khele Raghubeera’. Its popularity is mainly due to the devotion
Trinidadians have for Bhagwaan Shree Ram and his exploits as described in the
Tulsikrit Ramayan by Goswami Tulsidas. This Chowtaal conjures beautiful images
in the mind of a devotee with Shree Ram playing Holi/Phagwa together with
Lakshman, Bharat, Satrughan, Maataa Sita etc. In my mind I felt Hanuman was missing
from the celebrations so I added a verse with him playing Holi/Phagwa with
Shree Ram.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The festival of Holi is
celebrated on the full moon of Phalgun month. This is a very big festival for
everyone in Trinidad and Tobago. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">History of Holi</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Long ago there was a Rakshas King
named Hiranyakashipu. He had a son named Prahlaad. Prahalaad was a great
devotee of Bhagwaan Vishnu, but his father believed that Bhagwaan was his enemy
and never allowed anyone to take Bhagwaan’s name in his kingdom. Prahalaad used
to chant the name of Bhagwaan anytime he could, his father exhausted all means
but could not stop Prahalaad from chanting Bhagwaan’s name. Finally, asked his
sister Holikaa for help.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Holikaa had a boon that fire could
not harm her, so they decided that they would use this boon to end Prahalaad’s
existence. By the grace of Bhagwaan the fire meant to destroy Prahalaad was
cool and pleasant to him and instead Holikaa was burnt to ashes. On the anniversary
of that day, the burning of Holikaa in a symbolic form has been continued annually
until present day.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">O Bhagwaan, just as you saved
Prahalaad, kindly save everyone from the fires of Covid and warfare.<o:p></o:p></p>R Maharajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08928658918794164776noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429836135420747010.post-12524394987992391012022-03-12T15:41:00.001-08:002022-03-24T11:16:12.984-07:00Breadfruit Cauliflower Recipe<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/p9YehY_BlBM" width="320" youtube-src-id="p9YehY_BlBM"></iframe></div><br /> <p></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">My take on the popular Indian Aloo Gobhi recipe using homegrown breadfruit instead of Aloo(Potato).</span></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Holi is a festival of joy and unity. It is the last festival in the Hindu calendar, 15 days after Holi the Hindu new year begins with the first day of the Navraatri. Holi is for everyone, there is no division, the only discipline that we have lost with the passage of time is that it was gender based. Males were only allowed to celebrate with males and ladies celebrated with ladies. The reason for this is obvious.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 15.693333625793457px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Today the world is faced with the threat of the deadly Corona Virus, everyone is afraid with good reason. The ‘abeer’ used to play Holi was made with Ayurvedic materials that prevented a person from getting any Virus or skin ailments.</span></div>

a mixture of milk and water, this swan can drink the milk only and leave the
water. This swan is symbolic of our discriminating power. For us to get the
knowledge we have to make the right choices in our lives. The universe will
always present us we choices. The choices will not be easy choices. These
choices will be like the mixture of milk and water. It will not be an easy
thing to separate the correct choice from the incorrect choice, but we have to make the effort.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">Once there was a young man
walking along a river bank. After some time, he stopped to stare at what was
happening in the river. In the river was a holy man who was trying to save a
scorpion. The scorpion was on a piece of a dry branch. If the holy man left the
scorpion, its death by drowning was certain. Unfortunately, each time the holy
person would attempt to rescue the scorpion it would sting him and he would
drop it back on the branch. After watching this for some time the young man
called out to the holy person. He asked him why he did not leave the scorpion
to its fate.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">The holy man replied
that the nature of the scorpion is to sting and it is remaining true to its
nature. He then said my nature is to be good and help others, if a scorpion is
remaining true to its nature why should I give up mine.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">My dear students, our
nature is to be good. We cannot allow ourselves to be influenced by the
negative things of the world. When we do things that are not good e.g. disobey
rules we make ourselves unhappy. This is because deep within we know it is not
right. The formula of life is simple, when we do good and help others we feel
good and we are happy.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to the apparent northerly movement of the Sun. This is caused by the movement
of the earth around the sun. It signals the start of a very auspicious time
that lasts for approximately six months.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The earth and
everything on it is always moving. As you read this the earth is rotating
causing day and night. It is also orbiting around the sun. On the earth the
continents move at the speed at which your fingernails grow. The tiny particles
that make solid objects are also not static. All of creation is constantly on
the move.</span></div>

creation is very attractive to us. Everyone wants to know what is going on.

price of food went up?</span></div>

the sun. The sun has self-discipline. The sun always performs its duty and does
not get caught up in the constant movement around it. What will happen if the
sun stops shining and starts to do other things? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the same manner we also have our duty to
perform. When we are in a class we have to pay attention to the teacher and do
our work. Do not get distracted by the others around you. Perform your duty.</span></div>

when you perform your duty. Whatever is your duty in this world, whether you
are a student, teacher or prime minister once you work sincerely and honestly
you will be happy. This is a secret about life. When you do the right things
you are rewarded with happiness. This happiness is a message from Bhagwaan
(God) that you are on the right path. </span></div>

others who are not doing the right things. You do the right thing and make yourself
happy. In this way you will make the world a better place. </span></div>

earth is tilted towards the Sun. This is referred to as Surya Uttarayan. Surya
Uttarayan is a very auspicious time for Hindus that lasts for about six months.
During Uttarayan Vivah Sanskaars (Weddings), Upanayan Sanskaars (Janew, Guru
Initiation) and many auspicious rituals and activities are done.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

This is the birthday of the first Prime Minister of India, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru. On Saturday 12th November, 2011 a programme was held at the Trinidadeshwar Mahadev Vidyalaya to commemorate the occasion. One highlight of the programme was the song Jawahar Laal Nehru one of the songs composed by Prof. H. S. Adesh for the occasion. One line from the chorus goes – Nehru too shanti ektaa kaa gaan ban gayaa – Nehru your life became the song of Peace and Unity. Happy Baal Divas to all children.
