Did you know, that as per Indian Panchang system, each year has a specific name? And that each name has a meaning? There are 60 names of years (Samvatsars). Each name replays after 60 years. The year typically begins in mid-April.*
The year 2019-20 was named ‘Vikari’, that lived up to its name by being a ‘illness’ year!*
The year 2020-21 was named ‘Sharvari’, meaning darkness, and it did push the world into a dark phase!*
Now the ‘Plava’ year (2021-22) is beginning. ‘Plava’ means, “that-which ferries us across”. The Varaha Samhita says: this will ferry the world across unbearable difficulties and reach us to a state of glory. And take us from darkness to light!*
The year 2022-23 is named ‘Shubhkrut’, meaning that which creates auspiciousness.*
We can now look forward and expect to have a better tomorrow 🤞🏼
