CHHATH PUJA 2025: Surya Dev Ki Aaradhana Ka Mahaparv – Bhakti, Pavitrata Aur Sankalp Ka Utsav

Chhath Puja Kya Hai?

Chhath Puja ek prachin aur pavitra Hindu festival hai jo Surya Dev (Sun God) aur Chhathi Maiya ko samarpit hai. Ye tyohaar Bihar, Jharkhand, Purvanchal (U.P.) aur Nepal ke kuch hisso me bahut shraddha aur bhav se manaya jata hai.
Is din log Surya Dev ko arghya (जल अर्पण) dete hain aur unse apne parivar ki sukh-samriddhi ki prarthna karte hain.

Chhath Puja Ka Itihas Aur Utpatti

Chhath Puja ki shuruaat Vedic Yug se mani jati hai. Rigveda me bhi Surya Upasana ka varnan milta hai.

Kaha jata hai ki Karna, jo Mahabharat ke maha yodha the, unhone hi sabse pehle Surya Puja aur Arghya Daan ki parampara shuru ki thi.

Iske alawa, Ramayana me bhi maa Sita ne Lanka se wapsi ke baad Surya Dev ki puja ki thi — wahi Chhath Puja ka prarambh mana jata hai.

Chhath Puja Ke Char Din – Pavitrata Ka Sankalp

1. Nahay Khay (पहला दिन) – Is din vrati snan karke pavitr bhojan karte hain.

2. Kharna (दूसरा दिन) – Vrati poora din nirjal vrat rakhte hain, shaam ko gud-kheer aur roti se vrat todte hain.

3. Sandhya Arghya (तीसरा दिन) – Is din doobte Suraj ko arghya diya jata hai. Ghaat par bhakti aur bhajan ki gungunahat hoti hai.

4. Usha Arghya (चौथा दिन) – Subah ke ugte Suraj ko arghya dene ke baad vrat samaapt hota hai.

Chhath Puja Mein Vishesh Mahatva

Chhath Puja me pavitrata, niyam aur shraddha sabse zaruri hai. Vrati is dauran:

Saaf-suthre vastra pahente hain,

Neem ke patte aur bamboo ke daure ka upyog karte hain,

Plastic, makeup, aur any ashuddh vastu se bachkar rehte hain.

Yeh pooja man, tan aur dhan ki shuddhi ka prateek hai.

Chhathi Maiya Ka Mahtva

Chhathi Maiya ko Surya Dev ki behen mana jata hai.

Unki pooja karne se santan sukha, arogya aur parivarik sukh prapt hota hai.

Is din log “Usha Arghya” ke samay Surya Dev aur Chhathi Maiya se apne mann ke ichchhaon ke poorn hone ki prarthna karte hain.

Lok Geet Aur Bhakti Ki Dhun

Chhath ke din lok geet, bhajans, aur sohar poore mahal ko dharmik bana dete hain.

Jaise ki –

> “Kaanch hi baans ke bahangiya, bahangi la chak ke...”

Yeh geet bhakti aur apnapan ka anokha sangam prastut karte hain.

Environmental Message

Chhath Puja ke dauran log nadi, talab aur jal sroton ko saaf karte hain.

Isse prakriti sanrakshan ka sandesh milta hai — yeh sirf ek dharmik nahi, balki paryavaran mitra parv bhi hai.
