The mythological aspect :-
Sama-chakeba is originated to some excerpts of ancient ‘Padma Puran’.There is some reference about the love and sacrifice of Samb, the son of Lord shri Krishna for his sister named Sambwati. It is mentioned that a villain like character named chudak (known as ‘Chugila’ in Mithila) always intimated untrue story of each and every movements in kingdom to Lord Krishna. Once, he tweeted to Krishna that Sambwati was perhaps making love with Rhishi while going on the way to Vrindavan . Being angered, Krishna had given Shraap(bad curse ) to his daughter and Rhishi to embody the life of a love bird ‘MAINA’. And it happened instantly. Knowing this, the husband of Sambwati , named Chakrawak ( called as ‘Chakeba’ in Mithila ) passionately self embodied the life of ‘Maina’ in deep sorrow to have the company of his beloved wife. This incident shocked Samb ,the brother of Sambwati .He immediately sat on Tapasya or on wish dream puja unto the reversal of Shraap/ Curse . Seeing samb’s love and sacrifice for his sister, Lord Krishna , became happier and gave blessings and reversed the Shraap for the happiness of the family .Thus , the immortal love and sacrifice of Brother for the sister is being celebrated as Folk festival ‘Sama –Chakeba’ by the Maithil sisters for their brothers’ long life and happiness in all over Mithila .

ReplyDeleteDear Sir
ReplyDeleteIt exposes that anger and curse are also a compulsory parts of human and god nature. Well I respect the feeling of brother towards sister but as god Lord Krishna should have been knowing the lies told by the villain.
