History of Hindu New Year

 

Dear people,

 

This message (Message #618 of 623) was taken from the online wing of Malaysia

Hindu Sangam (MHS). The group can be accessed via the following link:

 

MyHinduSangam/

 

The message was written by Dr.M.Bala Tharumalingam. He is the General Secretary

of MHS. Is there anyone in this forum who has the right expertise to clarify

the calendar system?

 

This can lead to confusion.

 

Regards,

Dear All!

 

Do you know that, all the major religion of the world have their own

Calendar. Surprisingly NOT the HINDUS. Why???

 

Regarding the new year falls on APRIL 14/15 .It is definitely Hindu

New Year. This is due to the fact that as the all Indians are originally HINDUS(

for more than 5000 years from now in the history).

 

Another interesting fact to note is, majority of places like

Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Medan Indonesia and other place

where once HINDU KINGDOMs ruled thier new year, also fall at APRIL 14/15 only.

 

For Information even ROMANS once where celebrating their new year in the month

of April rather than January as now. Those who

were still celebreting their new year in April marked as fool as

such how the history of APRIL FOOL started.

 

Therefore, it is quite clear that APRIL 14/15 is the HINDU NEW YEAR

started originally by INDIANS. Let us praise the INDIANS for giving the HINDU

NEW YEAR to INDIANS. But, we should not confine the new year only for INDIANS,

rather let us promote for the entire HINDU community of the world.

 

Meanwhile, If we belong to various language ethinicity we should definetely must

continue to celebrate our language based New Years. (for Tamils it is THAI

PONGAL accepted as their new year in Tamil Nadu). But, Lets all of as united as

HINDUS, we jointly celebrate the HINDU NEW YEAR on April 14th this year.

 

HAIL! HINDU NEW YEAR.
