39 tonnes of GOLD worth Rs19,500 crores was bought by the Indian Middle class in one single day on #Dhanteras

30% YoY increase in the sales of white goods during the festive season.

All Car showrooms are empty as they don't have cars to sell. Even their Demo cars got sold off.
This demonstrates the purchasing power of the Indian Middle-class as the Indian Super rich and HNI do not buy Physical gold anymore as they have shifted to buying Digital gold sold by RBI which fetches them 2.5% interest.

This kind of Festive spending has never been seen before

1. Why buy Gold/ Silver on Dhanteras?

Tradition is more easily destroyed than understood. Understanding tradition needs deep humility and time, which sadly we don’t invest anymore. In case of Dhanteras, the ritual of buying gold is quite social but significant.
2. While buying gold and silver on #Dhanteras might not have been the original tradition, it has been going on for a while now and it has resulted in a state in which Indian women individually possess a sizable amount of all the gold reserves in the world.
3. This tradition alone has helped India to weather global economic recessions better than other cultures and nations. Even a poor woman with barely a roof over her head in India will often fish out some ornament for an emergency.

Maruti has a delivery back-log of 2.5 lakh cars, Hyundai has one lakh cars pending, and even the luxury maker Mercedes-Benz has around 2,500-3,000 vehicles waiting to be delivered which is nearly equivalent to two-and-a-half to three months of its regular inventory.

3. But tradition is a fragile thing. The secular progressives have been campaigning that women should buy iron instead of gold on Dhanteras. This is not the place to go into the sheer ridiculousness of the suggestion, but such campaigns do have an effect.

1. On Dhanteras - Why Should we Flamboyantly celebrate Hindu Festivals?

It is of existential importance to Hindus that we flamboyantly celebrate our festivals. Let us see why on this #Dhanteras of 2021.
2. What remains of one’s social life when one shifts to a great city where he does not know anyone? The weekend trip to the mall, monotonously uniform fare of shopping for grocery at supermarket, for clothes in the middle stories, then dinner in the food court.
3. With no family to visit, to function to attend to, no festival to celebrate – all the markers that contribute towards culture – they are under threat of becoming uncultured. Without having any चरित्र that makes them part of a culture and civilization they become चरित्रहीन.

Couple of myths about Diwali I wish to clarify.

#happynewyear

By Hindu calendar, the financial new year begins on Padva. Business folks buy new account books, do their puja, etc. Gudhi Padva, generally in March, is our regular new year.

#thread #Diwalimyth #diwali #Diwali2019
So, Gudhi Padva is equivalent to 1 st January.

Diwali Padva = 1st April
(31st March is the last day of the financial year.)

#thread #Diwalimyth #diwali #Diwali2019

#Dhanteras

On Dhana-trayodashi day, many Indians perform puja thinking They are doing it to increase Dhan,
because of the word Dhan in the name of that day. This practice was started some 100/200 years ago by business folks.

They also started a practice that on this day, one should buy some silver / gold, but mainly silver.

On #Dhanteras or Dhanvantri Trayodashi, a short thread in honour of Lord Dhanvantri, the physician of the gods and the lord of traditional medicine.

An amsa-avatara of Lord Vishnu, he was born on Aswiyuja Bahula Trayodasi during the churning of the ocean.
During the Samudra Manthanam, in search of the nectar of immortality, or Amritam, the devas and asuras churned for years and years. Dhanvantri arose from this churning holding a Kamandalam and danda in his hands. (31/45, Bala Kanda, Valmiki Ramayana)
In the 29th chapter of Harivamsa we have another description of Dhanvantri.

Dhanvantri arose from the churning paying his obesance to lord Vishnu who was in his Kurma Avatara then. He was named Abja. He requested a Yagnabhaaga but was denied. But Vishnu grants him a boon.
