mother earth menstruates  |
|
 hello everyone. i came to know from a hindu friend about menstruation of the earth whom they consider a mother and a goddess. she has her period ones a year as per their hindu calendar based on the moon. this falls on june 15 of each year and it is called "Raja-sankranti.
so the Hindu's, more so, the farmers will not do anything for three days anything that will cause pain to mother earth like they wont do plowing, digging, nor eat non vegetables.
after three days, they can go back to their usual routine. and unmarried gals usually love swing on trees in the village compound after each festival. that i wonder why.
i am thrilled to learn this.
do you know of any similar festival in your place? please share.
thanks in advance,
ann

2.  tigeruncle (897) | 6 months ago |  Hi sweety, thanks for this post. It seems your friend gave you incomplete information about this or may be got it partially wrong. It does not fall on June 15th each year, because it is based on a calander based on moon, lunar months have months of 30 days, not 31, 28, 30 etc. So it falls on diff days of english calander.
Here in my place it will be celebrated and my wife will enjoy the swings too.
Thanks Ann so much.
