Modern Clock & Vishwakarma Puja 2025

Understanding Time – Modern Clock Formats

Time is central to how we organize our lives, rituals, and festivals. In daily use, three formats of clock notations are common:

12-Hour Clock – Splits the day into two halves: AM (midnight to noon) and PM (noon to midnight). For example, 01:55 AM.

24-Hour Clock – Also called "military time," this system counts the full day from 00:00 to 23:59. For example, 01:55 AM is written as 01:55, while 2:00 PM becomes 14:00.

24 Plus System – Used in traditional Panchang and festival timings. It goes beyond midnight without resetting to 00:00, instead continuing into 24+, 25+, and so on, until the next sunrise. This system aligns better with the Hindu calendar, as the day is sunrise-to-sunrise, not midnight-to-midnight.


This distinction is important in Vedic timekeeping, especially for rituals like Vishwakarma Puja.

Significance of Vishwakarma Puja

Vishwakarma Puja is observed on the last day of the Bengali month of Bhadra, known as Bhadra Sankranti or Kanya Sankranti. The puja is performed in honor of Lord Vishwakarma, the divine architect and craftsman of the universe.

Importance in Hinduism

Lord Vishwakarma is revered as the creator of mechanical sciences, architecture, and Vastu Shastra.

Artisans, craftsmen, engineers, and traders worship Him as their patron deity.

On this day, people not only worship Lord Vishwakarma but also perform puja of their tools, machinery, vehicles, and instruments, seeking blessings for precision, productivity, and prosperity.


Lord Vishwakarma in Scriptures

In the Rigveda, He is described as the architect of the universe and the embodiment of creativity.

He designed the blueprint of creation for Lord Brahma.

Notable works attributed to Him include:

Dwarka city for Lord Krishna.

Indraprastha palace for the Pandavas.

Sudamapuri for Sudama Ji.

Golden Lanka for Ravana.

Swargaloka for the Devas.


Divine weapons crafted by Him include the Sudarshan Chakra (Lord Vishnu), Trishula (Lord Shiva), and Vel/Spear (Lord Kartikeya).

Observance Across Regions

In India, Vishwakarma Puja is mostly observed as a restricted holiday, depending on the state and profession.

In Nepal, it is celebrated as a public holiday, with government offices and institutions closed in reverence.

Vishwakarma Jayanti

The festival is also widely recognized as Vishwakarma Jayanti, honoring the birth of the divine creator. It is not just a festival of worship but also a celebration of skill, craftsmanship, and innovation—values that remain timeless in both traditional and modern contexts.

✨ On this auspicious day of Vishwakarma Puja 2025, may the divine architect bless you with creativity, prosperity, and perfection in your work.

Tantra and the Five M’s – Misconceptions and the Eternal Truth of Sanatan Dharma

Tantra and the Hidden Truth of the Five M’s 🌸 God is not so cheap that He leaves you because of two pieces of fish or a sip of wine. 🌸 Sanatan Dharma is vast — it never rejects, it transforms. 🌸 Tantra accepts the body, the world, and then shows the way beyond them. The famous Five M’s of Tantra — Madya (wine), Mamsa (meat), Matsya (fish), Mudra, and Maithuna — are not about indulgence. They are symbols of deep spiritual transformation: ✨ Madya – not worldly intoxication, but the bliss of Divine ecstasy. ✨ Mamsa – not just meat, but restraint of the tongue and control of speech. ✨ Matsya – not just fish, but the unity and equality of all beings. ✨ Mudra – not mere food, but the destruction of cravings. ✨ Maithuna – not physical indulgence, but the union of the soul with the Supreme. 🌺 The body is the doorway. Only through it can we transcend it. 🌺 Criticism and fanaticism bind us more than any food or ritual ever could. 🌺 The greatness of Sanatan Dharma is its inclusiveness —...

🌺✨ Glory to the Mother in All Her Forms ✨

The Village Protectress The first is the formidable Mangala Kali. She is the fierce guardian of the people, the protector of the hearth and home. Her very appearance is a declaration of war against chaos: wide, piercing eyes, a tongue lashing out, and a fierce array of weapons held in her many hands. Adorned with a necklace of skulls, she is the nightmare of all malevolent forces. She stomps out disease and misfortune, her wrath a shield for entire communities. Yet, beneath this terrifying exterior lies a loving mother, bestowing good fortune and victory upon those who call upon her. The Dark Light of Bengal Then there is the revered Shyama Kali, the compassionate mother of Bengal. Though her skin is dark as the midnight sky, she radiates a gentle grace. She is typically depicted with four arms, holding a sword and a severed head in two, while the other two hands are raised in a gesture of divine blessing and protection. Her stance, standing upon Shiva, is a testament to her supreme po...
