09 September - Teddy Bear Day

 

Teddy Bear Day is celebrated on September 9, a day to draw out all your teddy bears and thank them for their company, the fun times you have had with them, and for all the days and nights they comforted you. Also, don’t forget to give your Teddy a big hug and apologize for all the roughhousing your poor teddy bear may have had to go through in your childhood. Today teddy bears are a simple toy for children of all ages. The stuffed toy has also become a part of children’s literature and movies and popular culture.

Sivananda Saraswati (or Swami Sivananda; 8 September 1887 – 14 July 1963) was a Hindu spiritual teacher and a proponent of Yoga and Vedanta. Sivananda was born Kuppuswami in Pattamadai, in the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. He studied medicine and served in British Malaya as a physician for several years before taking up monasticism. He lived most of his life near Muni Ki Reti, Rishikesh.

He was the founder of the Divine Life Society (DLS) in 1936, Yoga-Vedanta Forest Academy (1948) and author of over 200 books on yoga, Vedanta, and a variety of subjects. He established Sivananda Ashram, the headquarters of the DLS, on the bank of the Ganges at Sivanandanagar, 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Rishikesh.

Sivananda Yoga, the yoga form propagated by his disciple Vishnudevananda, is now spread in many parts of the world through Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres. These centres are not affiliated with Sivananda's ashrams, which are run by the Divine Life Society.

National Read a Book Day has recognized annually on September 6th. While these bookish days may seem similar, National Read a Book Day invites us all to grab a book we might enjoy and spend the day reading. Don’t keep it to yourself. Share the experience!  Read aloud either to children or grandparents. Read to your pets or your stuffed animals and plants. Reading improves memory and concentration as well as reduces stress.

Books are an inexpensive entertainment, education and time machine, too.

Whether you are a fan of fiction, non-fiction, science fiction, history, medical literature, little stories, or any of the hundreds of genre of literature out there, here are some ways you can celebrate National Read a Book Day, Read that book you have always been expecting to pick up and read.

05 September - Teachers' Day

Teachers' Day is a special day for the appreciation of teachers, and may include celebrations to honor them for their special contributions in a particular field area, or the community in general.

The idea of celebrating Teachers' Day took root in many countries during the 19th century; in most cases, they celebrate a local educator or an important milestone in education. This is the primary reason why countries celebrate this day on different dates, unlike many other International Days. For example, Argentina has commemorated Domingo Faustino Sarmiento's death on 11 September since 1915;[1] while in India Guru Purnima is traditionally observed as a day to venerate teachers, the birthday of the second president Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (5 September) is also celebrated as Teacher's Day since 1962.

Many countries celebrate World Teachers' Day, established by UNESCO in 1994, on 5 October as their Teachers' Day.
