Today is Mahalaya(মহালয়া)...the commencement of 'Devipaksha' (দেবিপক্ষ)...the beginning of 'Autumn Festival' or 'Sharadiya Durga Puja/Sharadiya Durgatsav' (শারদীয়া দুর্গা পুজা) ...
Here, enjoy the timeless beauty of Mahalaya Agomani and 'Chandi Path' (চণ্ডী পাঠ) by (Late) Birandra Krishna Bhadra....a very nostalgic moment for every Bengali like me!.....it's all about our childhood days!!....all those auspicious moments in a beautiful autumn ( Ashwin) dawn and that wonderful AIR (All India Radio) telecast.....yes, once in a year...on this Mahalaya Dawn only!....those unforgettable melodies!....an 'Oratario' invoking The Goddess Durga...Sanskit Chants,'Slokas' and Bengali devotional songs by versatile artists of yesteryear's.....still in my heart!!
Subho Mahalaya (শুভ মাহালায়া )...!!!
To all my friends, readers and followers, wish you a very Happy Durga Puja and Navaratri.
