শারদ শুভেছা~ 'ওগো আমার আগমনী' :: Sharod Shubhechha~ Ogo amar agomoni

 শুভ মহালয়া ~Shubho Sharadotsava 

'ওগো আমার আগমনী'... 

শুভ মহালয়ার পূণ্য প্রভাত

full bloomed lotus at home

  On the auspicious first day of Devipaksha

এসো শরতের অমল মহিমা, এসো হে ধীরে।

                        চিত্ত বিকাশিবে চরণ ঘিরে।।

the  fragrance in the air,
fragrance of the  festivities .

Today is Mahalaya(মহালয়া)...

the commencement of 'Devipaksha' (দেবিপক্ষ)

the beginning of 'Autumn Festival' 

or 'Sharodiyo Durgotshov' 

in Bengali 'শারদীয়া দুর্গা পুজা '...

This is the moment to enjoy 

the timeless beauty of 

Mahalaya  Agomoni and 'Chandi Path' (চণ্ডী পাঠ) 

by (Late) Birandra Krishna Bhadra

a very nostalgic moment for every Bengali

it's all about our childhood memories....

all those auspicious  moments 

in a beautiful autumn ( Ashwin) dawn 

and that magical  telecast on All India Radio.

An 'Oratario' invoking The Goddess Durga

Sanskrit Chants,'Slokas' and Bengali devotional songs 

those unforgettable melodies

by versatile artists of yesteryear's..

'বাজল তোমার আলোর বেণু
মাতল রে ভুবন...'

still in my heart!!

Warm wishes for a very Happy Durga Puja 

and Happy Navaratri 
from my home to yours -;)
