In such a situation, PM Modi presented him a gift related to Sahasra Chandra Darshan. Explain that when a person sees 1000 full moons, it is called Sahasra Chandra Darshan.
What is Sahasra Chandra Darshanam
Sahasra Chandra Darshanam means seeing 1000 full moons. Generally Satabhishekam is conducted when a person has seen 1000 full moons. This happens after 80 years and 8 months. Actually, there are 12 full moons every year, so in 80 years one can see 960 full moons. But, every 5 years there are 2 additional full moons, which they call blue moons. In this way a person of 80 years can see 992 full moons in his life and 8 full moons in 8 months, then a person can see 1000 full moons after living for 80 years and 8 months. Biden was born on 20 November 1942. According to this, he has become 80 years and 7 months old. Next month till July 20, he will see 1000 full moons.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given him ten things in a sandalwood box which are used in the worship of Sahasra Chandra Darshanam. All these gifts have gone in a sandalwood box brought from Mysore. There are 10 small silver boxes inside. Apart from this, there is a tradition of worshiping Lord Ganesha on this occasion, so a Ganesha idol and lamp are also given.
Why is this book special
PM Modi presents a book translated by WB Yeats to Joe Biden. Yeats is one of Biden’s favorite poets and he often quotes from her poems. Apart from this, Yeats was associated with Indian philosophy. It was because of his association with Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore that his Gitanjali gained fame in the western world. Yeats translated the Upanishads with Sri Purohit Swami. This book was published in 1930. PM Modi has given a copy of its first edition to Biden titled, ‘The Ten Principal Upanishads’.
Special gift given to Jill Biden as well
