Indian Government Mad hurun Day

 

In every corner of the world on the 7th of November every year, people celebrate the birth of Madhubala Chaturthi or Bad Murru Day. The story behind the creation of this celebration is related to Lord Murukeshwar who is Lord Vishnu's consort. She was the wife of Kurukshetra, the god of knowledge. Kurukshetra loved her and gave her the task of creating a world for the coming generation. Although she succeeded in fulfilling the task, her son Durga was not happy with her performance and created several kingdoms for his subjects. Durga also went mad due to her wrong judgment and killed her own mother.

To celebrate her victory over evil beings, Lord Murukeshwar sent his only daughter Yashini alongside her husband to Earth and told her to create a perfect world by creating the world's first demigoddess or 'sadhana'. However, Yashini did not succeed in her attempt and was captured and bound by demon Mor, the King of demons. When she was released from Mor's control, she became the first state matka or queen of all the demons. She ruled over the entire universe and created various demigods who attended the satta matrimony held at the famous Rambagh Madhopur temple in Thripunithala.

The story behind the origin of Bad Murru Day is related in the Brahma Nivedana. The data has been celebrated on the first Sunday of the Diwali week in each year. On this day, Lord Vishnu sends his agent Yashtimadhuk (interplant) to visit the household of Shri Ramakand, a prince of Magadha. While walking in the garden, Yashtimadhuk sees the churning ocean and asks Shri Ramakand for permission to take a dip in the ocean. Shri Ramakand refused and told Yashtimadhuk that he had to go to fetch a banana from a nearby tree.

When Yashtimadhuk reached the tree, he found the banana fruit very tasteless and did not find it delicious. In anger, Shri Ramakand cursed Yashtimadhuk and caused him to be thrown out of the garden. When Yashtimadhuk came back, he explained the incident to his father and the next day, a banana tree was planted in Shri Ramakand's garden. As per the madhur day chart, on the designated madhur day, when Shri Ramakand dies, his children take over his wealth and give away the banana tree to the poor.

 

The origin of this legend is probably the same as with the story of Shri Shiva, the king of Gods. When Shiva won a contest to see who could throw the ball back, it was decided that Shiva would have to pass through the River Ganges. Hence, according to the legend, Shiva had to cross the river Ganges by going through Madur. Legend has it that his journey took him across seven cities of Magadh, which are Ganga, Mathura, Nasik, Bicholim, Hyderabad, Bhopal and Pune.
