Md.Shamim Hossain –
KhulnaAt Sri Sri Thakurani Kali Mandir in Kailashganj Union, Dakop, Khulna, on Saturday 4th March, on the occasion of Mother’s foundation anniversary, Troyodashi Puja started from 11 am, Prasad distributed throughout the day, Pathabalidan at noon.Kailashganj Union Council repeatedly elected chairman Mihir Kanti Mandal and Puja celebration committee in overall management.Meanwhile, Chairman Mihir Mandal said that Hindu Goddess Durgair is one of the Shakti Kali.The name Kali is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Kal’.Kali Puja is the worship of power.The greatness of Kali Puja lies in the victory of the good forces by defeating all the evil forces of the world.But the word Kali in Kali Puja is the feminine form of the word Kal which means Krishna Varna or Guru Varna.Kali is another form of Mahamaya Maa Durga according to various Puranas.Our Khulna department head Swapan Kumar Roy said, according to the old tradition, a tantric named Krishnananda from Nabadwip started the first Kalimurti or idol worship in Bengal.Before that, the worshipers of Maa Kali worshiped Maa Kali by painting the idols of Kali in copper or carving. In the 18th century, King Krishnachandra Roy of Nadia popularized Kali Puja and thus the practice of Maa Kali Puja began. In the 19th century, Kali Puja began to be widely practiced under the patronage of various wealthy landlords of Bengal.Panel Chairman Tapan Kumar Sarkar, Puja Celebration Committee President Swapan Kumar Roy, General Secretary Chiranjib Roy, Vice President Subhas Roy, Debbrat Sarkar, Assistant Secretary Uttam Kumar Mondal, Treasurer Chitta Ranjan Mondal and all the committee members were present.
