Gayatri Jayanti is observed as the birth anniversary of Goddess Gayatri who is also considered as the Goddess of Veda and hence is known as Veda Mata.

It is believed that Goddess Gayatri is manifestation of all phenomenal attributes of Brahman and is worshipped as the Goddess of Hindu Trimurti. 

She is considered as the mother of all Gods and embodiment of three Devi called as Goddess Saraswati, Parvati and Lakshami.

Gayatri Day 2022 celebrations

Most people, especially in South India, observe Gayatri Jayanti during Shravana Purnima. 

Devotees observe Gayatri Jayanti by making special prayers to Gayatri Mata and by chanting Gayatri Mantra.

In modern India, Gayatri Jayanti day during Shravana Purnima is celebrated as Sanskrit Diwas, a day to mark the importance of Sanskrit language. 

Various activities, seminars and workshops are organised on the day of Sanskrit Diwas to promote the Vedic language. In current time, the usage of Sanskrit has been limited to only Puja-Patha and academic activities.

Gayatri Devi incarnation of three Hindu deities

People believe the Goddess Gayatri has similar power to the trinity of gods – Brahma, Vishnu and Lord Shiva. Also, she is the incarnation of three Hindu deities – Goddess Parvati, Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Saraswati.

Devotees believe that Goddess appears in the form of knowledge during Shukla Paksha of Jyeshtha month. So, the birth anniversary of her falls on Shravan Purnima. Whoever worships Mother Gayatri may get bestowed with positivity, wisdom and knowledge. Mother Gayatri helps the person fulfil their wishes if they remember her during the difficult phase of their life. We often see devotees chanting Gayatri mantras to seek the removal of evil spirits.

Cafes in Jaipur to be visited with family and friends…

Searching for a place in Jaipur where you can sit with your family and friends and have a cup of coffee? 

Also, are you looking for a lush greenery around this centre? 

Yes, there is a new kid on the block which is none other than Magnolia cafe in Smriti Van which is a brand new exotic cafe in Jaipur. It is also one of the trending cafes amongst the youth and is widely spread across some acres of land with dense trees. 

While entering this serene place with surreal beauty, you’ll find trees standing tall. The orchestra being played by birdsong shall sooth your ears. It has such a peaceful aura that anyone would adore. If you’re missing out on something, trust me it’s nothing else but this place.

The way they’ve created every corner is quite creative. The interiors of the cafe give a calm, relaxing and soothing feel. 

Pine trees, swings, and sunshine make the outdoor peaceful. 

The sitting arrangements are across inside and outside for a formal meetings and hangouts. It gives a beautiful experience to someone who’s close to nature. It’s the best isolation anyone could get after a long exhausting day.

Looking at the exquisiteness of the dawn’s light, we would recommend the best time to visit this place is evening or when it’s raining. Because what happens is if there’s a sudden summer thunderstorm, there can be a quick influx of people trying to avoid the downpour, but here it contradicts the sentence into increasing the influx of people towards it, while there is downpour. The favorable season is here, you won’t regret it for sure.

  This place is not only for youngsters but is also favorable for family visits.  Food is the soul of the café. Their list of delicacies cannot be defined. Coffee is recommended for all the coffee lovers. Even the staff there is welcoming, co-operative and humble. This is the only place that I’ve seen that has a good reach in its first consecutive days. A must place to go when in JAIPUR.

This year, Raksha Bandhan is being celebrated on Thursday, August 11, 2022. Here are best wishes and quotes to be exchanged on the festive occasion with your siblings…

Rakshabandhan wishes

Brother and sister relationships are like tom and jerry. They tease and irritate each other. Knock each other down. But can’t live without each other.

On this Rakhi, let’s bring back the lively spirit of childhood, play pranks with each other and become that wacky siblings we were always. Happy Raksha Bandhan.”

Thank God for gifting me with the most amazing sister in the world. You are truly special to me. Wishing you a Happy Rakhi. May God bless you with success and prosperity. Happy Raksha Bandhan.

A very big thank you for being my companion, protector and being equally weird with me. You are the best brother in this world. Happy Raksha Bandhan!

You have always been my best friend, holding my hand, making sure the road I travelled on free of obstacles. There cannot be a better brother than you in this whole world. Wishing you the best in life always. Happy Raksha Bandhan!

You supported me while I was in distress; you protected me when I was scared and all other things you did to make me happy. Thanks are just insufficient to express my gratitude. Happy Raksha Bandhan to you Brother!

  • Bless you, my darling, and remember you are always in the heart – oh tucked so close there is no chance of escape – of your sister. – Katherine Mansfield

This Independence Day we should take some time out and remember all those who sacrificed their lives so that we could enjoy our freedom. Happy Independence Day 2022.

By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall. Independence day is a good time to think about who we are and how we got here. Happy Independence Day 2022!

The tribute will always be less for our freedom fighters but the salute to all will never be less. Saluting the entire nation, Happy Independence day!

Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong. Let the Tricolour revive our spirits and keep it burning for all times.

Remembering our past is extremely important. But we also have to think about building our future. Let’s do everything to keep our freedom and carry it through the years. Happy Independence Day!

The citizens of a country create the image of a country. Be a good citizen and let India be proud of us. Happy Independence day.

Happy Independence Day, we are proud to have soldiers like them who saved our families over and over the years. Wishing bright futures ahead!

Our flag does not fly high because of the wind, but it flies due to the last breath of each soldier who gave up his life to protect it. Happy and proud Independence Day.

Wishing you a very Happy Independence Day…. Let us join hands to work hard to make our nation a better country with each passing day.

Freedom doesn’t see shapes or colours. We now need to work towards building a better future full of unity, love, and understanding. Here’s to an amazing Independence Day!

Being independent means, being able to change the world. I am proud to say that my independence allows me to make positive changes each and every day. Cheers to our independent India!
