Fourteen days prior my family and I have commended it: Thingyan. Thingyan otherwise called Burmese Water Festival is substantially more than what meets the non-Burmese eye. It is a whole lot more than drinking, moving, singing and tossing water. The term 'Thingyan' has its beginning in Sanskrit and signifies 'change' or 'progress'. What's more, that is precisely what 'Thingyan' is: the change from the old cycle of seasons to the new cycle of the seasons. It is a change from the old life to the new life and additionally a change from the old year to the new year.
Burma has a lunar timetable the principal month of which is 'Tagu' that denotes the start of the late spring, the month that matches with the period of April of the Julian logbook. What's more, it is in Tagu/April, appropriately the second seven day stretch of Tagu in which the Burmese New Year falls. Thingyan is customarily commended across the country as three to four days of water pouring before New Year's Day. Thingyan occasion is 10 days and in this time all wheels come to a standstill. Government workplaces, production lines and most organizations are shut and everybody who can has just a single thing as a primary concern: celebrating.
Thingyan that begins generally on the twelfth or thirteenth of April is rich in legends and as needs be the focal figure of 'Thingyan' is 'Thagyamin' otherwise called 'Sakka Deva' or to address him by his imperial name, 'Taninganway Gyo Min'. He is the King of the celestials and is as indistinguishably associated with Thingyan as, for absence of a superior case, Santa Claus with Christmas. Burmese individuals put stock in the 'Overseer of the Buddhist Teaching' similarly as Christians (well the kids) have confidence in Santa Claus.
Thagyamin is entirely of obtained from Hindu folklore yet Burmese have made him their own. Lord Anawrahta of Pagan (1044-1077) made him the 37th nat and place him in the position of boss nat with a specific end goal to prevail upon his animistic individuals when he made Buddhism a state religion. Consequently Thagyamin is particularly alive in Burmese old stories, in Buddhist anecdotes and near the Burmese.
Consistently the Burmese welcome Thagyamin on 'Akya Nay', the second day of Thingyan when simply like Santa Claus he is diving to earth. Thagyamin is as legend makes them descend from Tavatimsa to introduce the New Year. Thingyan, the merriest, most beautiful and most special of Burma's year-round celebrations contains five days. The principal day, the day preceding Thagyamin's plummet, is called 'Akyo Nay', which implies as much as 'The Day of Expecting Thagyamin'. The second day, the day of Thagyamin's coming down to the human house commend the water celebration is called 'Akya Nay'.
The third day, the day of his review of human conduct and direct is 'Akyat Nay' and the fourth and a day ago, the day of Thagyamin's coming back to 'Tavatimsa' the kingdom of the celestials is called 'Atet Nay'. The fifth and a day ago of Thingyan is the New Year's Day, called 'Nhit Thit Ku'. On this day is except for the Mon individuals occupying the Mon State situated in Southern Burma nobody pouring or tossing water any longer as this is normally limited to the period from 'Akyo Nay' or 'Day of Awaiting Thagyamin' to 'Atet Nay' or 'Day of Thagyamin's Ascent to Tavatimsa' (fourth day).
The pouring and tossing of water effectively washes away physical rottenness and soil and additionally profound sins and wickedness in order to be spotless on body and soul for the New Year. At the end of the day, it implies the washing ceaselessly of the considerable number of bad behaviors of the old year so as to begin the better and brighter one with new and clean body and psyche. All is overlooked and excused.
There is likewise a fascinating Hindu story that says that in Thingyan the giving over of the obligation to hold Lord Brahma's head - which is the sun - starting with one divine little girl then onto the next is commended. On the off chance that the handover would not happen, so the story goes, the sun (Lord Brahma's head) would drop into the sea and vaporize the majority of the water on earth; another motivation to appreciate the tossing of and playing with water.
Thagyamin or 'Sakka Deva' the 'Overseer of Buddhist Teachings' resembles Santa Claus at Christmas coming practical before New Year with a specific end goal to rebuff underhanded individuals and to compensate the great ones. The general population who are positive attitude have their names recorded on the 'Move of Honor', a brilliant plate likewise called 'The Book of Gold', while the individuals who are awful will have their names composed on the material of canine cover up additionally called 'The Black Book of Dog Skin'. As needs be, they will on 'Doomsday' or 'Day of atonement' get either their reward for having been great individuals or be rebuffed for having been awful individuals. My recommendation to you is that you make sure to be on 'The Roll of Honor'.
The correct date and time of Thagyamin's plummet from 'Tavatimsa' is currently as ever worked out by 'The Board of Astrologers'. In old circumstances, the correct entry time of Thagyamin in his chariot or on the creature he may have ridden was declared by the thumping of imperial drums and the report of the 'Thingyan Cannon' or 'Sirene'. Thagyamin is joined by the woodworker and enlistment center 'Vissukamma' and his chariot driver 'Matali', similarly as Santa Claus is joined by his specialist 'Knecht Ruprecht' as he is brought in Germany or 'Nicholas' as he is brought in different nations.

Some old customs of these circumstances that are mirroring the genuine soul of Thingyan are as yet alive and drilled albeit, too bad, progressively by more established individuals as it were. One of these old traditions is that at the season of Thagyamin's landing the family older folks of Burmese families convey earthen pots called 'Atar Pots' loaded with scented water and a bunch or wreath of blooms and sprigs called 'Thingyan Pan' outside of their homes. The seniors at that point raise the 'Atar Pot', bow to the heading of Tavatimsa/Heaven, guarantee Thagyamin that he is welcome and beseech him to convey gifts to the people. The ritual is proceeded by pouring the cool and scented water out of the 'Atar Pot' on the ground and afterward finished by attaching the 'Thingyan Pan', which speaks to the seven days of the week, to their home's primary passageway entryway.
Preceding the execution of the above ceremony it is vital to the Burmese individuals that their prompt surroundings are appropriately arranged for the saying goodbye to the old year and the inviting of the New Year. That will be, that their homes/houses and surroundings are completely kept up and tidied up what incorporates that consecrated protests, for example, Buddha Statues and different religious stuff on the family sacred places are washed clean, the disposing of old garments and different things, which are supplanted by new ones, and the driving out of malevolence spirits by keeping open the entryways and windows and beating them at the nightfall of sunset.
Another old custom is to bubble crisp and unadulterated cleanser out of a blend of the bark of linden-blossom trees, cleanser acacia and other vegetable natural products. This cleanser is exhibited to neighbors, companions and colleagues. As an indication of adoration more seasoned individuals are regularly encouraged by more youthful individuals to bathe and wash their hair with this cleanser.
Burmese individuals do likewise still read a solitary sheet hand charge called 'Thingyan Sar' (The Words of Thingyan). The Thingyan sar not just discloses to them what creature (for example, a mythical beast) Thagyamin will ride when he is coming rational to review human practices and to observe Burmese Water celebration preceding New Year Day and what he will grasp (for example, a lance, bow and bolt or a light) however all gives them the data on the most proficient method to keep out of mischief in and what they need to expect of the New Year.
From what Thagyamin is riding and from the gear he is grasping when he is coming down to acquire the new year the general population of Burma predict the future and the Thingyan sar additionally constitutes a sort of prophet sheet for them. They find in it so to state a 'plan' of good conduct for the whole New Year to be corrected when the following Thingyan season comes around. Be that as it may, here the story does not end. Thingyan sar likewise contains an arrangement of guidelines for every one of the general population conceived on a specific day. These directions say that, for instance, Sunday conceived ought to subsequent to shampooing their hair wear the white 'Gan-Gaw' blossom in it. Monday conceived ought not eat meat on a specific day, Tuesday conceived should... , et cetera.
Thingyan, the time when the 'Padauk' trees (Andaman redwood tree) are weighed down with brilliant and extremely fragrant 'Padauk-bloom' (just in 2013, 2014 and 2015 the Padauk trees did not sprout at Thingyan in light of the fact that it was excessively dry) and the air is loaded with aroma of 'Star-blossoms' is the celebration of cherishing consideration, great good direct and altruism. No hostility, no disdain, no outrage and no avarice must be practiced yet just the components of the Thingyan soul, which are love, comprehension, empathy and liberality.
New Year Day is gravely seen by doing a wide range of legitimacy making deeds. Contributions are given to priests and regard and blessings are given to senior citizens, guardians and educators by the group, youngsters and students.
Groups hold 'The Feast of Giving Food to Four Directions' called 'Satu-ditha' over the span of which 'mon-solitary yew-paw' (sticky-rice cakes or balls), 'Thingyan Htamin' (a blend of rice beeswax and Thingyan water) or 'mohinga' (Burmese Noodle in angle soup) are given away unreservedly to all and everybody.
Another element of Thingyan is the critical custom of noviciation called 'Shin Pyu'. The sending of their child or children to the religious community to give him/them into the 'Sangha', 'Buddha's Order' is essential to each Buddhist family. In the religious community the young men remain as beginner for up to 14 days, have their hair shaven, wear the yellow or red robe and go on donations rounds with their dark contributions dishes or Thabaiks as they are brought in Burmese.
Amid the festival of Thingyan celebration a sort of 'work-sharing' between the old and youngsters can be perceived. While the more seasoned are pondering in the altar rooms of their home
