🌸🙏 जितिया व्रत की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ 🙏🌸

बिहार झारखंड एसोसिएशन ऑफ न्यूज़ीलैंड (BJANZ) की ओर से सभी माताओं, परिवारों एवं समस्त समाज को जीवित्पुत्रिका व्रत (जितिया) की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ।

जितिया बिहार और झारखंड की समृद्ध लोक-संस्कृति एवं आस्था से जुड़ा एक महत्वपूर्ण पर्व है। इस अवसर पर माताएँ अपनी संतान की दीर्घायु, उत्तम स्वास्थ्य, सुख-समृद्धि और उज्ज्वल भविष्य की कामना करते हुए श्रद्धा एवं समर्पण के साथ व्रत रखती हैं।

यह पर्व माँ के असीम प्रेम, त्याग और ममता का प्रतीक है। धार्मिक परंपरा में यह व्रत राजा जीमूतवाहन की त्याग और परोपकार की कथा से भी जुड़ा है, जो दूसरों के जीवन की रक्षा के लिए अपने प्राणों तक का त्याग करने को तत्पर हुए।

नहाय-खाय से शुरू होकर व्रत और पारण तक, जितिया हमारी उन सुंदर परंपराओं को जीवित रखता है जो पीढ़ियों को अपनी जड़ों और संस्कृति से जोड़ती हैं।

🌼 इस पावन अवसर पर सभी माताओं के त्याग और समर्पण को नमन।
ईश्वर सभी बच्चों को स्वस्थ, सुखी और दीर्घायु बनाए और हर परिवार में प्रेम, शांति एवं समृद्धि बनी रहे। 🙏❤️
जितिया व्रत की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ!
जय बिहार • जय झारखंड • जय हिंद 🇮🇳
