ashtanga yoga moon days

 

 

Hi all,

 

I read that we are supposed to rest on moon days. Concerning a morning

practice: if the full moon is on 15 November. Will you rest on 15 Nov

morning or 16 Nov monring? Thanks for your answer.

 

Another related question: is anybody knows if the reason to rest on full

moon is more philosophical or physiological.

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Namaste.

The confusion with the dates is caused by the fact that in Indian

astrology they still uses the old measurement of the day, that a day

start on sunrise and continues until next sunrise. So if the full

moon is at 01.57 in the middle of night on the 16 November (with our

day shift starting at midnight), the moon day will be on the 15

November, because it's still within the current day (before sunrise).

The astrology is used to set the proper time and dates for the

different rituals like pujas and festivals. So sometimes it doesn't

corresponds to the moon days you se in calendars because they are

set after the daysplitting at midnight.

In the old Roman time system we had the same day shift at sunrise. I

don't know when we figured out that the new day should start at

midnight, and not at sunrise.

Hope it puts a little clarity over the matter.

I have a question...

for some of us that are not Hindu or Buddhist and don't practice pujas or any

of their festivals, Do we still need not to practice on Moon days? I've read

from other correspondence here that the only reason why Sharath doesn't teach on

Moon days is because they don't have the time anymore because pujas take most of

the day.

 

pls correct me if i'm wrong...
