🚩 Ramayana is traditionally divided into seven Kandas, which are the following :

𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚
𝐀𝐲𝐨𝐝𝐡𝐲𝐚 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚
𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐚 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚
𝐊𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐡𝐚 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚
𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚

𝐘𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐡𝐚 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚
𝐔𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚

🌺 𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐀 𝐊𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐀
Bala Kand begins with the story of Dasharatha, the King of Ayodhya, performing Putrakameshti Yagna - a fire sacrifice for attaining a child.

As a result King Dasharatha is blessed with four children Shri Rama born to Kausalya, Bharata is born to Kaikeyi, and Lakshmana and Shatrughna are born to Sumitra. Balakanda of Ramayana depicts the life of Shri Ram’s childhood and His marriage to Sita Mata.

Guru Poornima is celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Buddhists all over the world, on a full moon day in the month of Ashadha, according to the Hindu calendar, to commemorate our Gurus.

In the word ”Guru”, "Gu” means darkness and "Ru” means the eradication of darkness. Thus "Guru" means the one who eliminates the darkness of ignorance and illuminates our lives with knowledge.

On this day,
🚩In Hinduism, Bhagwan Shiva started the transmission of Yoga and lectures to the Saptarishis.

🚩In Buddhism, Bhagwan Gautam Buddha on this day gave His first Sermon in Sarnath after attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodhgaya.

🚩Among all the rituals of Jagannath Rath Yatra of Puri, the most interesting one seems to be Niladri Bije.

🚩‘𝐍𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐢’ suggests Jagannath Mahaprabhu and ‘𝐁𝐢𝐣𝐞’ means to enter. This is really interesting as it is all about the continuation of the fight between Shri Jagannath and Goddess Laxmi.

🚩Niladri Bije is the ceremony of Shri Jagannath’s return with His siblings from the Raths to the main temple in Goti Pahandi. 𝐆𝐨𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢 is the procession of the Trinity from the chariots to Ratna Singhasana.
