| Grand welcome of Vikram Samvat 2080 | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Mar 21: Today, on the evening of Chaitra Shukla Pratipada of the New Year, Vikram Samvat 2080, Sri Kalakh Jyotish and Vedic Institute welcomed the new year with grandeur in the presence of Former Minister & State Vice President BJP Sham Lal Sharma at his residence. The program is being organized by the Sri Kailakh Jyotish and Vedic Institute Trust. The main organizers of the event are Former Minister Sham Sharma , and Mahant Rohit Shastri , Shri Kalakh Jyotish and Vedic Institute Trust. Ankush Sharma , advisor of Sri Kalakh Jyotish and Vedic Institute Trust, is the co-organizer of the event.
The chief guest of the event was Mahamandaleshwar Shri Shri 1008 Acharya Swami Vishwatma Nand Saraswati Ji Maharaj, and other notable guests included Shriman Purushottam Dadhichi Ji (Head of Jammu and Kashmir Sanatan Dharma Sabha), Shriman Sham Lal Sharma (former minister of Jammu and Kashmir government and the main organizer of the event), Shakti Pathak Ji (Chief Nyasi of Chudamani Sanskrit Institute, Basohli, Jammu and Kashmir), Dr. Vivek Kumar Ji (Organization Minister, Eternal Hindu-Shashwat Hindu), and Mahant Rameshwar Dass.
Speaking on the occasion, Swami Vishw?tm? Nand Saraswati Maharaj said that he had told the citizens that this is the only completely scientific religious calendar. Compared to the Gregorian calendar, the Vikrami calendar is used for all auspicious works. On the date of Pratipad? of Chaitra month, the great mathematician Bhaskaracharya had created the Hindu Panchang by calculating the day, month, and year from sunrise to sunset. From this date, new Panchangs begin and auspicious dates for festivals, celebrations, and ceremonies throughout the year are determined.
Purushottam Dadhichi said that the first day of Chaitra Shukla Pratipada is considered the beginning of the new year in the Panchang, which is also called the Hindu New Year. This calculation is according to the Vikram Samvat, which began in 57 BCE. According to scriptures, the beginning of the Satyuga in all four eras was also on this date, i.e., Chaitra Pratipada. This date is also considered the beginning of the cycle of creation and the first day.
Sham Lal Sharma said that in India, at this time, many indigenous and foreign-origin calendars are prevalent, but from the perspective of India's cultural history, if there is one most popular national calendar, it is the "Vikram Samvat." According to scriptures, Lord Brahma had created the creation on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, and the beginning of the Kaliyuga was also on this day. Therefore, this day is considered the beginning of creation.
Shakti Pathak stated that Vikram Samvat is considered as the national era. At the beginning of the new Vikram Samvat, it is known by different names in different parts of the country. The foundation of Sanatan Dharma has always been to move towards light from darkness, i.e., "Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya". For this reason, when the Shukla Paksha falls after 15 days of Chaitra month, and on the Pratipada Tithi, Hindu New Year is celebrated. From the next day of Amavasya, as the Shukla Paksha starts, the moon starts to grow day by day, bringing light from darkness.
Dr. Vivek Kumar stated, "Chaitre Masi Jagad Brahma Sasarj Prathame Ahani, Shukla Pakshe Samaagre tu Sadaa Suryodaye Sati." According to this verse described in the Brahma Purana, Brahma Ji created the universe on the first sunrise of Chaitra month. From this day, the Vikram Samvat starts. Although New Year celebrated on January 1st according to the Gregorian calendar is more popular, the Arya Hindu Vikram Samvat has been the basis for calculating dates and time in religious ceremonies and auspicious events long before that.
Mahant Rameshwar Dass explained that the Vikrami calendar is related to the nature of the entire world, astronomical principles, and the planets and stars of the universe. Therefore, the Indian calendar system demonstrates the creation of the universe while remaining impartial. The description of the calendar is also found in the oldest books of the universe, the Vedas. The description of the New Year or the cycle of years is given in verses 45 and 15 of chapters 27 and 30 of the Yajurveda. Our days, months, years, and even the smallest parts of them are based on the movements of the planets and stars in the solar system and their constantly changing positions. |
