Ayudha Puja

               Ayudha Puja is an integral part of Navrathri Festival(Festival of triumph),a hindu festival which is traditionally celebrated in India.It is also called "Astra Puja",the synonym for ayudha puja.The festival falls on ninth day of bright half of moon's cycle of 15 days in the month of September/October.In Karnataka,the celebrations is for killing the demon king Mahishasura by goddess Chamundeshwari.After slaying the demon king,the weapons were kept for worship.Thus its a tradition followed even now,wherin weapons are kept for worship.Weapons means a tool or thing with which a person is living his life.It may be cars,motorbikes,cycles,owners of shop assume the items in the shop as there weapons and many more as such.
                 I would like to write this blog as a remembrance for me about ayudha puja this year.Infact this is the first ayudha puja after I started to write blogs.I definitely feel that blogs are also a kind of weapons for me to increase my knowledge,share memories,feel them,to INSPIRE.Well today was a good day,the day began with making preparations for the puja.The puja was in our farm and we were preparing for the things to be taken there and we set off with our preparations.After we reached,it was  an asusaul wonderful experience to see AMMA(Mother) do the puja with interest.prayers and well wishes.After the puja,sweets were distributed and then was the amazing time wherin amma distibuted new clothes to all the workers and their Families.Then it was time for a brilliant Lunch.
             After all these,we spent some time there and we had to return because parents had to leave to Bidar(my native) for tomorrow's VijayDashmi Festival.Lots more to happen for the day.
        Wish all Hindus a Happy Ayudha Puja.May God bless you with happiness an prosperity.
