Jagran, also known as Jagrata or Jaag, is a Hindu ritual prevalent mainly in the northern part of India. A Sanskrit term for staying awake at night, this is a vigil associated with occasions like monthly vrats and Ekadashi fasting dedicated to Lord Vishnu, one of the members of the holy trinity. During Jagrata, devotees meditate, read stories, sing songs, chant God’s name, and take part in Satsangs. Jagran is also kept to honour Shiva, and Goddesses in many regions and temples.
Significance of Jagran
Sanatan Dharma is not a religion as you understand here in the West. It is more a way of life and rituals like Jagran only foster a feeling of unity and brotherhood. Accompanied by storytelling, singing, and dancing, it also encompasses elements of various Indian folk communities. It also wards off negative energies and enhances feelings of positivity, peace, and prosperity.
At Shri Gauri Shankar Mandir, you can participate in Jagran and enjoy a communitarian feeling amidst songs and stories of Gods and Goddesses of Sanatan Dharma. Our pandits are not just known for their knowledge but also their skill and mastery of crafts like storytelling and singing. Come and enjoy a few uninterrupted hours of Jagrata at Shri Gauri Shankar Mandir. For the convenience and ease of the devotees, we also offer online Jagran.
