Katina Pinkama
What is hardness? The meaning of this word is unchanging, strong. The blessings of the Katina Pooja will not be extinguished even if the Mahamera is shaken or the earth is shaken and the Vajnjara rock is broken. It is also called austerity because it cannot be subdued by evils other than extreme sin. Bhikkhus who have celebrated the previous year, protected their vows well and taken over from the Maha Pavarana can get a hard time.
The Katina Chiwara Pooja, which can be held at a temple once a year, is a special ritual performed with great reverence. Katina Pooja is the most valuable of the eight meritorious deeds. Because of this, Buddhists are more interested in performing Katina than other Pinkams. Not only in this country but also in many countries of the world this Pinkama is celebrated with great pomp and ceremony.
The monks gather on the full moon day of the Esala Full Moon Poya Day and perform disciplinary actions to protect the poison for three months. During this time, the clergy and the laity have mutual obligations. Due to this the link between the village and the temple is growing more than ever. The menstrual period is a good time to grow up for a man who is not really mature. This time also helps to build a righteous spiritual life.
With the end of the lunar month and the arrival of the Chivara month, the human pagoda will be able to perform its meritorious deeds as it pleases. Although this period was a busy time for the monks, it is significant that they did all this for the benefit of their contributors and for the survival of the future Sambuddha Sasana.

There are many benefits of Katina Chivara Pooja. It can also be well understood through nagitapadana.

Katinanisansa: Not being miserable, attaining the title of Zak God, being a sage to men with the royal resources of the respective lands, being born only in the divine and human worlds, being born only in the higher castes of Sasara, having all the pleasures of attaining Nibbana, very rich, The popular among gods is being a god.

The Naga Theras have also given many details about the Katinanisansa.
‘Attarasanthan Kappanan

(The inconvenience of sacrificing a hard chivara to live in the world of gods for eighteen kalpas and to be born king Sakdeva thirty four times)

(The blessings of Katina Dana also helped him to become a noble man with all the resources everywhere in every soul)

Thus the Venerable Thero has pointed out the benefits that come from hard work. Moreover, the history of the Sasana points out that just as a Katina Chivara is blessed by offering a Katina Chivara, so is a monk who receives a Katina Chivara.
Anonymity - The hardened monk can go anywhere in the village without permission until the full moon in the middle of the month.

x Dissatisfaction - Three robes are devoted to behaving without the robe of one's choice.

x Eating - Eating is free from the discipline. The banquet is an invitation to dine in a natural way.

x Update - Dedicated to consuming as many robes as you like.

x Chivaruppadaya - The right to receive the Chivara, which is given to a bhikkhu who has been hardened until the end of the winter season, or as a memento.
In today's world of automation can be a daunting task. Doing so could lead to a loss of dignity here. It is also important to perform this ritual with proper understanding. It is the responsibility of the Maha Sangha to light firecrackers and use loudspeakers during the Katina Perahera and to show those who wake up screaming, hooting, drinking alcohol and dancing in the Katina Pinkama in accordance with Buddhism. It is also important to deposit the Katina Chivara in every home, regardless of rich or poor.
Everyone should be interested in performing this Katina Pinkama, keeping in mind that this is an opportunity to develop the unity and goodwill of the village at this time due to the Pinkama which is performed by the whole village. May Mahanisansa reap great rewards by making the Mahanisansa merit which can be done only once a year, explained by all three together.
