Matatirtha Aunshi (Mother's Day)। World Redcross Day । Law Day

Matatirtha Aaunsi (Mother's Day)
"यत्र नार्यस्तु पूज्यन्ते रमन्ते तत्र देवता" (Yatra Naryastu Pujyante Ramante Tatra Devata), which means "Where women are revered, there the gods rejoice." These shlokas reflect the high regard and respect given to mothers in Sanskrit literature and culture.

Matatirtha Aaunsi
Just as it is believed that if the grains are dried in the scorching sun on the day of Aunsi, there will be no insects in the grain. Similarly, in today's Aunsi, if a mother's remembrance and respect for her mother is expressed, there will be no rift in the relationship between mother and child.

What is Aunsi and what is the significance of Aunsi or Amavasya in Vedas?
In the Atharva Veda, three hymns (suktas) are narrated based on the position of the moon. The first is Amavasya or Aunsi Sukta which is recited during Aunsi, then Purnima Sukta and the other is Surya Chandra Sukta which is recited after the first shape of the moon in the days after Aunsi is seen in the sky. In this situation where the relationship between the moon and the science of Sanatan Sanskar is disappearing, we must understand the 3 positions of the moon and the science related to it.

In the Atharva Veda, Amavasya Sukta says that Amavasya is a part of coexistence (Samvasati) and it also gives place to the union of the earth and the moon. The Taittiriya Samhita states that Amavasya is entering into Milan (Sangani). Such a combination is also called the English astronomical word SYZYGY which means union or adjustment.

The new moon is the union of the sun and the moon from the earth's view. The new moon is clearly understood to be the stage before SYZYGY. This day is also called the waning moon because the condition of the moon is very low.

Mata Tirtha Aunsi
Now let's talk about the glory of Mata Tirtha Aunsi, one of the best Aunsis of all the Aunsis of the year. It falls in the month of Baisakh and is considered a bridge that can connect the world of Deva, Pitru Lok, and Prithvi Lok under one philosophy. On this date, it is considered very important to remember, meet and express affection to one's mother, and to give alms and organize charity in the name of late mothers.

That is, mothers are gods. The mothers in this world are living gods, the mothers who do not exist in this world are now immortal.

Mata Tirtha Aunsi is a festival celebrated since ancient times to pay homage to the mothers. Today, the great and hard work of a mother is remembered. Today is the day to respect and remember Mother. This is the mother who showed us the world. She gave birth and preserved us in the womb. Then she held him in her arms. Like the Kalpa tree that fulfills all our d
esires, aspirations, and desires in our childhood and beyond, all the mothers of this world are also KalpaBrikshs.

(Kanun Diwas) National Day of Law in Nepal.
Background of Kanun Diwas

 

Nepal has been celebrating Baishakh 26 as National Law Day (Kanun Diwas), the day when Nepal issued the Judicial Act in 2009 BS.The need for the judiciary to play its role with a greater sense of responsibility to uphold constitutional supremacy and the rule of law in Nepal, and to protect the rights and freedoms of citizens, is being emphasized today.

Emergence of an independent judiciary in Sovereign Nepal, A history
In any case, with the emergence of an independent judiciary in Sovereign Nepal, we would like to summarize the history of Nepali judicial history by going beyond the summary of these allegations, incidents, and decisions made above the court. The history of Nepali justice has come here through the Malla Kalin justice system, the proverb of going to Gorkha if justice is not given in the time of Ram Shah. As the pages of history unfolded, the executive, the judiciary, and the legislature remained in the hands of the Rana rulers until 2007 BS, National Law Day is the day that Nepal got an independent judiciary by establishing the Central Court for the first time in the year 2007 BS after the success of the revolution of Falgun 7. Gradually, in 2009 BS, the First and Historic Court Act 2008 was issued as Nyayalaya Ain. This was the act that provided that the decisions of the Supreme Court would be irrefutable and final. This was the starting point of Nepal's independent judiciary to this day.

This day is also considered as the day when the foundations of democracy and human rights was laid in Nepal. It is believed that justice day will ensure the access of the general public to justice and increase respect for the judiciary.

Activities in Kanun Diwas
May the effectiveness of justice be maintained in the holy land of Pashupatinath, may the rule of law prevail and the law prevail. On this day, the courts of all the three levels leave for the District, Punarabedan, and Supreme Court. Today, a special program is organized in the afternoon at the Supreme Court premises and various programs are organized in the institutions related to the courts across the country.

An unpleasant mixture of politics and the judiciary is what today's Nepali court needs to get rid of. Let the white sentiments within the black coat be transparent, let the long and equal hands of the law be on everyone's head, let the law not be bought and sold.
Meaningful wishes
