Re: [www.eZon.in] Happy Cheti Chand/Gudi Padwa/Ugadi and Navreh

appologies but it is also the New year of Kashmiries. heres to all Kashmiri brothers and sisterts A Happy Navreh

 

Navreh is the new years day according to the Saptarshi Samvat/ era. We are proud in the world that we are following the ancient Saptarshi era in letter and spirit around the globe, which has been inherited by the Kashmiri Pandit community from ancestors. This year we are entering the 5081st year of the traditional Samvatsar on the Revati Nakshatra/ constellation, corresponding to the 9th of April,2005. The day of celebration is SATURDAY this year. The King of the year is Shukra/ Venus and the Minister is Budha/ Mercury. The Vahana/ coach of the Navreh is the elephant with the name of Vilambha.

"Shriman Suchar Vadana Shubha Ghatra Yashti
Raktakshi Bhrit PriyaVacho Yuga Dirgha Bahu
Devair Dineshvar Mukhair Ava Lokya Tao Asau
Bhuyaat Chiram Shubha Karau Nava Vatsaro Nah"

This is an invocation Mantra for extending an invitation to the Nava Vatsara/ Navreh.

The translation runs as:

Thou art Shriman' the auspicious one, with all fortune and prosperity Thou art having a Suchara Vadana- most beautiful and lovely face. Thou art the embodiment of the Shubha Ghatra - firm and stout body having a Yashti- commanding staff in the hand. Thine eyes are Raktakshi - Bhrit red with cherishing color. Thou art Priya Vacha---the soft and sweet spoken one and Thine Bahu- arms are Dhirghav- long. Thine Mukha/face is like that of Deva Dineshvara-the Surya Devata/ Sun god. O Nava Vatsara! Thou art effulgent in the Lokya/ triple world. May thou grant us the Chira/ ever lasting Shubha/ auspiciousness, prosperity and life full of luster.

(The Navreh is closely related to the Thaal Barun, Panchang, Shri Chakreshvara Puja and the invocation to the Nava Durga. A select references to the Saptarshi Samvat Panchang and Shri Chakreshvar Puja would be discussed in this write-up. The aim of this write-up is to pay my obeisance to Shri Chandi Nava Durga. This write up is based on the Sapta Shati Hridayam-A Kashmir concept).
