महापर्व छठ पूजा : संस्कृति और विज्ञान का संगम
Editorial
गंगा की तराई क्षेत्र में धान पीली हो चली है और चेहरे पर आकर ठिठुरती शुष्क पछिया हवा के हिलोरे शरद ऋतु का उद्बोधन कर रहे हैं। ऐसी हल्की शीत लहरी में दूर कहीं से आती इन गीतों की गूंज तन-मन में एक अलग ही ऊर्जा का संचार कर रही है। कार्तिक अमावस बीती और शुक्ल पक्ष आरंभ हो चुका है। गोधूली वेला में बजते नगाड़ों का घोष अंतरमन में छठ महापर्व के आगमन की प्रत्याशा जगाकर हृदय को मुकुलित कर रहा है। ऐसी करुण भावनाओं का अंबार, छठ पर्व, पूर्वी भारत के सबसे महत्त्वपूर्ण त्योहारों में से एक है। लोकमान्यता के अनुसार इस पर्व की आराध्य देवी छठ मईया हैं, वहीं देवता स्वरूप में इस पर्व में सृष्टि के प्रत्यक्ष सूर्य देव की प्रतिष्ठा है। चाहे जिन देवी-देवताओं की आराधना को माध्यम बनाएं, वास्तव में यह पर्व प्रकृति-पूजन व संरक्षण की सनातन दृष्टि का ही संवहन करता है। इस चार दिवसीय पर्व की छटा अत्यंत निराली है।

Is Love a Social Construct
Editorial
In a labyrinthine world of shadows and veils, where hearts wander and the soul often ails, loneliness reigns with an iron hand, and love, they say, is society's demand. Love, like the vast expanse of life and freedom, should be an ethereal sanctuary where one's own heart becomes the arbiter of its essence.

Each individual possesses a unique palette, painting love in vibrant hues that defy the confines of societal norms and expectations.
