According to the Hindu calendar, Shabri Jayanti is celebrated every year on the Saptami day of Krishna Paksha of Phalgun month. It is the day of the devotee's love feeling towards Bhagwan which is celebrated with great joy and gaiety. Mata Shabri is worshiped along with Bhagwan Shri Ram on this day. Shabri Jayanti will be celebrated on 23 February in 2023.
Dharmik Manyata of Shabri Jayanti
It is a religious belief that on the Saptami day of Krishna Paksha of Phalgun month in Treta Yug, mata Shabri got the darshan of bhagwan Shri Ram. On this occasion, mata fed juthe berries to bhagwan Shri Ram after welcoming him to the ashram. On the other hand, Bhagwan Shriram had eaten juthe berries with great enthusiasm. The feeling of love was hidden behind feeding juthe berries. Now there was a doubt in the mind of the mata that even the berries are sour. For this, mata used to taste the berry first herself and then used to feed the same berry to Shri Ram. When mother Shabri got sour berries, she did not give them to Bhagwan. Sheshnag avatar Lakshman was amazed to see this scene. This love feeling of bhagwan and bhakt was unimaginable. That's why Shabari Jayanti is celebrated with great pomp every year.
