FRIDAY THE 13th- IS IT A SUPERSTITION?
Greek
Beliefs
In
ancient
Greece,
Zeus
was
the
thirteenth
and
the
most
powerful
God
of
the
Greek
mythology.
Thus,
13
is
the
symbol
of
incorruptible
nature,
power
and
purity.
13
Is
For
Spiritual
Completion
13
is
prime
number
and
hence
it
can
only
be
divisible
by
itself.
Hence
it
is
a
complete
number
in
itself.
Thus
13th
is
the
symbol
of
totality,
completion
and
attainment.
Thai
Beliefs
The
Thai
new
year
is
celebrated
on
the
13th
of
April.
It
is
considered
as
an
auspicious
day
when
all
the
bad
omens
are
washed
away
by
splashing
water
on
people.
Hindu
Beliefs
13th
day
of
any
month
is
an
extremely
auspicious
day
according
to
Hinduism.
13th
day
is
Trayodashi
according
to
the
Hindu
calendar.
This
day
is
dedicated
to
Lord
Shiva.
The
Pradosh
vrat
observed
in
the
honour
of
Lord
Shiva
usually
falls
on
the
13th
day
of
the
month.
The
person
who
worships
Lord
Shiva
on
this
day
is
blessed
with
wealth,
children,
happiness
and
prosperity.
Hence,
13th
is
considered
one
of
the
most
fruitful
day
of
the
month
according
to
Hindu
beliefs.
Also
Maha
Shivaratri
is
also
celebrated
on
the
13th
night
of
the
Magha
month
which
is
considered
very
sacred
and
holy
for
everyone.
Thus, if we do not fall in line with the Western views, then number 13 is nothing more than just a number. On contrary, if we look into our own Hindu beliefs, 13th can be the most luckiest day of your life. So, forget the fear and celebrate this Friday, the 13th with enthusiasm.
