Bhogi - message  

Posted by: Sharma SVN in ,

Bhogi very first  hindu festival in English calander year in fact BHOGI  has got to give a great message for the society it runs like this
 
Long long ago there lived a poor Brahmin and his wife and their poverty was very misserable like they both had only one cloth to wear is
and when husband went out to collect alms wife was foreced to be naked at home so was their poverty.
 
One fine morning a sage who on his way to heaven to see the god was passing through the street of this Brahmin as he already know
the missery the brahmin was facing  and he intended to help them told the brahmin that he is going to heaven to see the God and if the
brahmin has anything to submit to the Lord. The brahmin said Ho! divne sage you already know what we are facing and now that we are
vexed with this poverty kindly ask the lord about one boon for us let the lord give us our lifetimes food and clothing at once so that we enjoy the same all atonce and there after will end our lives.
 
The sage narrated the matter to the god and the god instantly sanctioned the boon. The poor man received lots of food material and clothings both the brahmin and his wife cooked the whole material  after seeing at it they thought that anyhow they cannot consume the
total material and their promise was to enjoy at once and to end their lives so they prefered to donate whole food and to retain only that
much what they can consume  and did the same.
 
Surprisingly the material what they were booned was not exhausting  where as these couple everyday kept on donating the whole material
and everyday they were recieving fresh material and there was no end for this. The sage took it to the surprise and went to the god and told him about this.  The God smiled at the sage and said I had given them the boon of BHOGA whereas with their attitude of THYAGA
the brahmin couple has won my heart hence I am giving them everyday.
 
So on this BHOGI day if we practice to Tyagam our BHOGAM will alway get doubled
