🌿 Hariyali Teej 2025: Celebrating Bhakti, Nari Shakti & Bharatiya Sanskriti

🗓️ Date: Sunday, 27 July 2025 | Tritiya Tithi, Shravan Shukla Paksha

“जहाँ भक्ति हो, वहीं शक्ति है। हरियाली तीज उसी शक्ति का उत्सव है – नारी शक्ति, प्रकृति शक्ति, और भारतीय संस्कृति की शक्ति।”

🕉️ Why Hariyali Teej is Celebrated

Hariyali Teej marks the divine union of Bhagwan Shiva and Maa Parvati, representing the ideal of love, commitment, and penance in Sanatan Dharma.

  • According to Hindu scriptures, Maa Parvati performed intense penance for many lifetimes to win the love of Bhagwan Shiv.

  • On Shravan Tritiya, Lord Shiva accepted her devotion and took her as his eternal consort.

  • This sacred reunion is celebrated as Hariyali Teej, teaching us that bhakti (devotion), sabr (patience), and shraddha (faith) always bear fruit.

It is also a celebration of:

  • 🌿 Nature and monsoon: "Hariyali" means greenery—symbolizing fertility, rejuvenation, and prosperity.

  • 👩‍🦰 Married women’s love and prayers for their husbands’ well-being

  • 👧 Unmarried girls seeking divine blessings for a good life partner

  • 🙏 The strength of Nari Shakti and the importance of preserving cultural roots

🎉 How Hariyali Teej is Celebrated

Across Bharat—from Jaipur to Jhansi, Varanasi to Vrindavan—Hariyali Teej is celebrated with unmatched devotion and joy. Here’s how:

🌺 1. Teej Vrat (Fasting)

  • Women observe a day-long or nirjala fast (without food or water) to invoke blessings for their husbands’ long life and family well-being.

  • It is a vrat of discipline and surrender, just like Maa Parvati’s tapasya.

  • Many chant or listen to the Teej Vrat Katha, remembering how Maa Parvati’s love moved even Lord Shiva.

🛕 2. Shiv-Parvati Puja

  • Clay or silver idols of Mahadev and Parvati are decorated with flowers, haldi, kumkum, and mehndi.

  • Traditional puja thalis include belpatra, dhatura, ghevar, fruits, and suhaag items (sindoor, bangles, bindi, etc.).

  • Mantras like “Om Namah Shivaya” are chanted to purify the heart and mind.

💚 3. Traditional Attire & Mehndi

  • Women wear green sarees, glass bangles, and apply intricate mehndi—a symbol of marital bliss and prosperity.

  • It’s not just fashion—these rituals carry spiritual and cultural significance rooted in ancient Bharat.

🎶 4. Swings, Songs & Sisterhood

  • Swings (jhoolas) are hung from banyan and neem trees, adorned with flowers.

  • Women sing folk songs, dance in groups, and celebrate together—reviving the community spirit of our gram sabhas and families.

  • In cities, cultural groups and mahila mandals organize Teej Melas with folk dances, food stalls, and rituals.

🍬 5. Special Delicacies

  • The sweet star of Teej is Ghevar, along with malpua, kheer, and besan laddoos—all offered first to Mahadev & Parvati before being shared with loved ones.

  • These dishes represent abundance, hospitality, and celebration.

🇮🇳 Teej and New Bharat: A Civilizational Revival

In today's Bharat, as we move towards Amrit Kaal, Hariyali Teej revives:

  • 🧕 Nari Shakti: As promoted under “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao”, Teej empowers women through dharma and devotion.

  • 🌱 Eco-conscious living: Celebrating the monsoon and greenery is aligned with our PM's LiFE mission—Lifestyle for Environment.

  • 🛕 Cultural renaissance: Festivals like Teej remind us of our Sanatan roots and promote tourism, family bonding, and social unity.

🙏 Final Message from the Festival Itself

“Main hoon Teej – Maa Parvati ki tapobhoomi, aur nari ke shuddh bhav ka utsav. Jab tum bhakti se mujhe manate ho, tum apni pehchaan se judte ho. Main hoon Bharat ki shakti.”

Let’s celebrate this 27 July 2025 with:

✅ Devotion to Shiva-Parvati
✅ Respect for women and tradition
✅ Love for nature and nation
✅ And pride in our Sanatan Dharma

🪔 Jai Maa Gauri
🕉️ Har Har Mahadev
🇮🇳 Vande Mataram

  Responde, Not React: Mastering the Art of Thoughtful Responses in Work and Life In the fast-paced world of modern workplaces, our ability to respond rather than react can make all the difference in maintaining healthy relationships, ensuring productivity, and achieving personal and professional growth. Reacting is often an impulsive, emotional action, while responding is a thoughtful and intentional choice. Learning how to navigate this distinction is crucial to cultivating a balanced work and personal life. A CEO’s Mindset: The Power of Strategic Thinking Consider this: A high-level executive walks into a board meeting where stakeholders are tense over a declining quarter’s performance. Instead of reacting with frustration or blame, the CEO pauses, listens carefully, and then provides a well-reasoned response that shifts the focus from problems to solutions. This ability to respond rather than react is what separates leaders from the rest. Studies show that emotionally intell...
