In the Bikram Calendar the current month is Margh. During this month the reading of the Swasthani Brata Katha is specially prevalent in the villages of Nepal. Lately tv and video games have overtaken this tradition of reading Swasthani Brata Katha mostly in cities. For NRNs the tradition of reading and listening to Swasthani Brata Katha is virtually nonexistent.

Swasthani Brata Katha is based on the Skanda Purana. The book is written in dialogue form between kumar, the son of Shiva and Agastya, a rishi of the vedic times. The tales in the book is allegorical and uses metaphors to convey the message to the reader. In summary the first 2 chapters of the book describes the Hindu creation chronology story.From the 3rd chapter on the story details Shiva's marriage to (Shakti)Shati, how they were married, their conjugal life and sati's suicide after which she went to Menaka's womb to be born as Parbati. Swasthani Brata Katha lists 51 Shakti piths (temples) spread throughout current India, Nepal, pakistan, Srilanka, Tibet (China) and Bangladesh.

In the stories of Swasthani Brata Katha the hidden aspects of the universe have been given human form so that they are relatable by the listeners. This kind of story telling engages the reader's and the listener's mind. 

Today the book is mostly read in a monotonic voice without ensuring that the message is properly conveyed to the listeners. With your support inspireTrend plans to produce an audio recording of the Swasthani Brata Katha which will bring out proper understanding of this epic. To support inspireTrend visit us at inspireTrend.

Swasthani brata katha says:
Dharma filled with pride is waste,
Knowledge that is not applied is a waste,
Similarly a Hindu who does not follow the Hindu Dharma is a waste.

स्वस्थानी ब्रत कथा एउटा प्रेम कथा मात्र हो भने तेती खेरका कबि , साहित्यकार ले हरेक कुरा लाइ भगवान संग जोडी दिएर लेख्ने भएको हुनाले हो | हाम्रा पूर्वज संस्कृतका विद्वान हरु मान्छे ले मान्छेलाई साषण र षोसण गर्न पट्टि नलागेर तिनका ब्रम्हले देखेका कुरालाई बिज्ञानका आखा बाट आगाडि बढेको भए संसारमा एउटै मात्र धर्म हुन्थ्यो त्यो हो "सत्कार्य" "Eternal" | सबै भन्दा पुरानो लिपिबद्द पुस्तक बेद मानिन्छ भने तेस पछि आएका कुनै पनि लेख वा अरु पुस्तकमा यिनको समन्ध र जोडाइ यति राम्ररि गरेका छन् कि छुट्याउन सकिन्न ( त मुजिले कसरी गरिस भन्ने कुलंघार पनि होलान , यो मेरो व्यक्तिगत बिचार राखेको हु) | It is like a chain.
This may give you some idea.

Thank you magorkhe1, for your input.

It is the beauty of storytelling that our ancestors have put glimpses of the Spirituality that is only found in the Hindu Dharma. Because of the principle of garbage in, garbage out today in most people, who have been exposed to the western hedonistic view point only, misunderstanding of the Hindu Dharma runs deep.

Currently we are in the knowledge age where knowledge is king. The people today are full of knowledge. Even for the wrong understanding people are able to come up with a list of logic to justify the thinking. Logic is used however our mind pleases. This is why it is easy to doubt. People today have not experienced spirituality. Same thing for Hindus by heritage. That is why it is easy for evangelists of various religions to convert them to their religion. For a long time there was a vacuum which was not filled by our spiritual leaders.

inspireTrend.com is a website we have established to spread the knowledge of Hindu Dharma around the world and for generations to come. inspireTrend also has a Members only forum to consciously share about life and spirituality.
