​Matsya Jayanti is a significant Hindu festival that commemorates the birth of Lord Vishnu's first avatar, Matsya.

The word "Matsya" means "fish," and this form of Lord Vishnu represents the beginning of life on Earth. The festival is celebrated on the third day of the Chaitra month (March-April) in the Hindu lunar calendar, also known as Chaitra Shukla Paksha Tritiya.

​Devotees observe Matsya Jayanti to honor Lord Vishnu and seek his blessings for prosperity, happiness, and spiritual growth.

​The Legend of Matsya Avatar

The Matsya Avatar has a captivating story associated with it, which holds great significance in Hindu mythology.

According to ancient scriptures, the world was going through a catastrophic flood that threatened to annihilate all life forms. To save the world from destruction, Lord Vishnu took the form of a fish and guided King Satyavrata (also known as Manu) to build a massive ark.

Lord Matsya advised King Satyavrata to gather all species of plants, animals, and the sacred Vedas, to ensure their survival. As the deluge began, the divine fish tied the ark to its horn and navigated it through the turbulent waters.

​Once the flood subsided, Lord Matsya restored the Earth to its original state and helped repopulate it with the seeds of life.

​The legend of Matsya Avatar symbolizes the divine intervention to preserve life and righteousness during times of chaos and destruction.

    Vedic Culture, which   is the culture of the original Himalayan Masters,    is one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.  It is a tradition which has given mankind several treasures such Yoga, Meditation, Conscious-Living and Vedic Sciences such as Ayurveda, Vedic Physics & Vedic Mathematics.

    It was always a scientific culture that understood the very mechanics and workings of this Universe. Their deities, their gods and goddesses were all a way of expressing and explaining these energies and their inter-working. Modern Quantum Mechanics is just starting to understand string theory, dark matter etc. which have all been fundamental to the Vedic understanding. Because of this, they developed ways and methods which allowed one to best tap into life-energy itself.

    Vedic Culture, as it was practiced by the Himalayan Masters, was always a "way of life" and not a religion.

    Their basic view was that, there is only ONE Supreme God-head (God as our creator) and each one of us can find our path to it- experience union with that divinity (Yoga) in their own way.

    Because of this, anyone with any religious affiliations and beliefs can still benefit from their knowledgeable ways of Vedic Wisdom.

    Our attempt here is to present this ancient wisdom in a modern light, so our readers can interpret the true, essential meaning more easily and then extrapolate it to their own specific scenarios and enhance the quality of their life and being-ness.
