Narada is a devotee of God Vishnu and known as Devarshi.
Narad Jayanthi is celebrated across the country on Jyesta Krishna Paksha
Pratipada.
According to Vedic Puranas and mythologies Devrishi Narada
is a universal divine messenger and primary source of information among Gods.
Narada Muni has the ability to visit all three Lokas, Akasha or Heaven, Prithvi
or Earth and Patala or Netherworld and is believed to be first journalist on
the Earth. Narada Muni keeps travelling across the universe to communicate the
information. Narada Bhakti Sutra, Narada Purana, Narada Pancharatra and
Naradiya Dharmashastra are some of the holy texts associated with Sage Narada.
Narada was considered to be the first reporter
or journalist of the whole Universe. He knew the crux of the journalism. His
mastery over journalism and expertise in communication was shown when he gave
tips to Yudhishthira on governance. For him, journalism is the consistent
effort of propagating cultural nationalism; journalism is not a profession,
rather a mission with social responsibility.
He is the first person in human history who recognised
the power of news and important of communication in governance. Narada had
excellent qualities that a good journalist needs to cultivate. They include
good grasping power and wonderful analytical insight.
Journalists across the country are felicitated for their social responsibility.
This year ‘Narad Jayanthi’ is being celebrated across the
country on 16th May 2014.
