Father’s Day is being observed in Nepal today

KATHMANDU: Today, Bhadra Kushe Aunsi, the venerable father is being celebrated. Today is also known as ‘Buwa Ko Mukh Herne Din’ i.e.Father’s Day.

Different communities have their very own way of celebrating Father’s Day. All of the communities put together foods and tasty dinner party in and serve it to their father. The celebration and amusement of the competition depend upon the vicinity, climate and ethnicity. Those who cannot meet their father are remembered by telephone or video call.

The only union of physical, emotional, biological, and many other relationships is that of the father. As a result, on the occasion of Kushe Aunsi, or Father’s Day, everyone has a tradition of looking at their father’s face and giving gifts to show respect to their father.

For your kind information, in Nepal, Father’s Day, Buwa ko Mukh Herne Din and Kushe Aunshi are the same. All meaning of them is similar. Today is a day of remembrance, respect, and special dedication to the father. On Kushe Aunsi, children look at their father’s face and give him gifts such as sweets, fruits, clothes, and so on. Children who abroad also call their fathers.

Similarly, those who do not have fathers remember them by looking at pictures or visiting various holy shrines such as temples, shrines, and shrines, performing Shradh in their fathers’ names, offering tarpan, and donating Sida through spiritual contemplation. However, due to the increasing infection of COVID-19, the temple area has been completely sealed this year.

According to the religious belief of ‘Pitridevo Bhava,’ children will be blessed on this day if they reverently feed their father food of their choice. On Bhadra Krishna Aunsi, adherents of the Vedic Sanatan religion also transport the holy kush, which is used in god work and pitru work throughout the year, from house to house.

According to the scriptural method, keeping the Kush in the house, which is worshiped by a Brahmin and taken to the Jajman, will bring the family prosperity. There is a traditional belief that kush plucked on these days can be used all year, whereas kush plucked on other days can only be used on that day. Sanatan Dharmavalambi considers Kush, Tulsi, Peepal, and Shaligram to be Lord Vishnu’s symbols.

Importance of Kush in our lives

Kush, which is used in bathing, chanting, almsgiving, recitation, and fatherhood, is viewed with importance in Hinduism.

This sacred and scientifically proven plant is a grass family genus found on nearly all continents, inhabited hills, and islands. Kush is a sacred plant with a significant cultural and religious role in Vedic Sanatan Hindu rites, as well as scientific significance.

Kush, scientifically known as Eragrostis cynosuroides, is a religious grass with sharp edges. Let me explain the origin of this scientific name, which is derived from the Greek word Eros, which means “to love,” as this is also considered a love grass. Agrostis is Latin for “grass.”

Kush has been a companion of human civilization since the dawn of time. It is also highly nutritious fodder for livestock. Scientifically, this grass is a cesium-137 hyperaccumulator, acting as a remover of highly toxic radioactive atoms from the environment.

A variety of medicines are also made from the roots of the plant Kush, which is easily available from the Terai to the hills of Nepal. In ancient times, Kush’s sharp grass was cut with empty hands during the examinations of the students studying in the Gurukul. Kush is compulsory in every ritual of Satanaga philosophy.

Today, Kush is brought home on a night or Aaunshi. The glory of Kush is also described in the Bhagavad Gita, Garuda Purana, Atharva Veda, and Vishnu Purana. The diaries and rituals of Hinduism are very scientific, the Gita and the Vedas are the mothers of invention.

Even the people who used to ridicule Sanatan Sanskar under the guise of modernity have now started concentrating on Sanatan Sanskar and its practical aspects.

During a scientific experiment, a handful of Kush was placed between the radiations and it was found that Kush reflected all the radiations away from its surroundings. Thus the perpetual use of Kush in the Sanatan culture presents the records of ancient science and the effective practical lifestyle.

From generation to generation, Hinduism encourages everyone to use the rings and other cultural uses made from this scientifically proven marvelous Kush. The use of Kush as a ring on the finger of the right hand demonstrates the belief and scientifically proven principles that annihilate the turbulent waves and radiation in the atmosphere.

Father’s Day is another name for the day of the ‘Buwa Ko Mukh Herne Din’. However, there is a distinction between Father’s Day and Buwa Ko Mukh Herne Din. Mrs. Sonora Dodd started it in 1909 to honor her father.

Father’s Day was first observed in America on June 19, 1910. There is no definitive data on when the day of seeing the father’s face began to be celebrated. It is said to have been celebrated since the mythological period.
