Significance of Hariyali Teej

8/13/2018

Hariyali Teej falls on Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight) Tritiya (third day) in Shravana month and usually falls two days before Nag Panchami. Hariyali Teej is dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. It is believed that Goddess Parvati had to take 108 births before Lord Shiva accepted her love for him on this day of Hariyali Teej, which is celebrated as the day of the Union of Shiva and Shakti.

Hariyali Teej is also known as Chhoti Teej or Shravana Teej. Due to the custom of gifting Sindhara to the daughter and her in-laws during this Teej, Hariyali Teej is also known as Sindhara Teej. Sindhara is a special bucket of gift, containing sweets, henna, bangles and so on, which is sent to the daughter and her in-laws by the parents of married girl.

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.
