JAMMU, May 6: Dogra Brahman Pratinidhi Sabha, Jammu is going to celebrate Bhagwan Shri Parshuram Jayanti on May 8-9 at the Sabha Bhawan, Parade besides taking out an impressive Shobha Yatra in the city.
The Shobha Yatra will be taken out on May 9 while Pooja Archana and Hawan etc will be performed on May 8 amidst Vedic rituals and religious fervour. ‘Eik Sham Bhagwan Parshuram Ji Ke Naam’, a Bhajan Sandhya by renowned singer Komal Sharma, is the new highlight of this year’s celebrations on Parshuram Jayanti.
This was informed by Ved Parkash Sharma, president of the Brahman Sabha, while addressing a press conference, here today.
He said that there will be no solemnizing of the Yagypaveet ceremony this year as the Sanskrit scholars and majority of Pandits were not in favour of holding the ritual due to ‘Shukra’ in ‘Ast’ condition and the same is not considered as a pious period for the purpose.
“On May 9, after Pooja of Bhagwan Shree Parshuram Ji, a Langer will be held at 1 pm to 2 pm after which an impressive Shobha Yatra will be taken out from Dogra Brahman Pratinidhi Sabha,” Ved Parkash Sharma said.
