Vedas and Shastras : According to vedas to walk daily during the spring season or Vasant Ritu, is the most beneficial to the human being’s health. Mentioning has been made in the Shastras about the importance of taking new sprouts of mango trees during spring season. Use of these sprouts in this season protects the human beings from the blood diseases. In accordance with estern scientists especially botanists, new sprouts of mango trees having a number of organic acids are useful to destroy the harmful products of blood. AYURVEDA
Goddess Sita’s Soyamber : It is believed that during spring season, the Sage Vishvamitra took both Lord Rama and Shri Lakshman with him to Janakpuri (now known as Nepal) where marriage ceremony (soyamber) of Goddess Sita was to be held. Prior to attending this soyamber, both Shri Rama and Lakshman paid a visit to Janakpuri city with the blessings of Sage Vishvamitra. Sant Tulsi Dass has wonderfully mentioned about the beautiful walking scene of both of these brothers. “Both had put on yellow coloured clothes with beautiful bows in their hands, arrows around the waists, binding ‘with yellow cloths and layer of chandan wood studed on their foreheads.” This gives an evidence that to put on yellow coloured clothes on the start of spring season is an old tradition which was even present during “Treta Yug”.
After visiting Janakpuri city, both, Lord Rama and Lakshman went to see the garden of Raja Janak. The scenario of the garden has also been stated by saint Tulsi Dass. “They saw the garden where spring season was in full swing and attracted everyone. To attract minds of the people, there were many captivating trees and climbers which were blooming as well as a number of birds singing sweetly.” There was also pond in the garden. Both Shri Rama and Lakshman were overjoyed to see the garden’s beauty. During soyamber of Lord Rama and Goddess Sita, the spring season blessed with the couple greatly.
Lord Krishna’s Views About Spring Season: The Lord Krishna has explained in Bhagvad Gita that out of the various Indian seasons, the spring season has its own form and charm. According to Him, the spring season is such a season in which all plants become vigour and green without water. It has further been added that there is not much coldness or hotness in this season, rather it is moderate or neutral in its temperament. All the human beings become juvenile and enjoy joyfully.
