Vasant Panchami Festival

‘Since the Vasant festival (utsav) starts from the fifth day (panchami) in the bright fortnight of the Hindu lunar month of Magh, that day is called Vasant panchami. The objective of celebrating this festival is to rejoice over and to enjoy the Bliss from the new found divine consciousness (chaitanya) and new creation in Nature. It is also said that Madan, the deity of s*x was born on this day. People used to ritualistically worship and pray to Madan and Rati (His wife) for a happy married life. On this day ears of grain of the new harvest are offered to the deity at home and are eaten as new grains (navanna). Since the deity Sarasvati was created on this day, She too is worshipped. It is also considered as the birthday of the deity Lakshmi. Hence this day is also called Shripanchami.’

Hindustani Courts should also follow Hindu Calender Chait, Baishakh, Jeth, Ashad, Sawan, Bhadon, Kunar, kartik, Aghan, Poos, Madh, Fagun instead of January, February, March, April etc. Like.. COURT IS ADJOURNED TILL BASANT PANCHMI or THE NEXT DATE OF HEARING IS GANESH CHATURTHI ETC.
