today is amavasya and good day to do charity no 20/11

[Guest guest]

Angel,

 

there is NO ASTROLOGICAL BASIS for it,.

 

may be u have read a Tamil's astro site

somewhere there was a translation error may be Tamil film scripts have

popularised that

amavasya is most auspicious and no date, time or anything needs to be seen

WHICH IS FALSE AND IRRATIONAL astrologically.

 

as u will never find this in Kalaprakishaka, Muhartha chintamani or Hora

sara the major Muhurtha works.

 

TN's saraswathi Library has a lot of great Sanskrit works kept in the locks

as they feel it will glorify the Aryan culture. the great works we can never

see

 

many astrological works available to us in other languages are not there yet

in tamil

Jataka Alankara, jataka chandrika are the ones we hear from them. now some

works are being done and sure this misconception will also be covered some

day-god willing.

 

 

BUT IF U FOLLOW THIS sure it is failure

 

look at Vajpayess 13 day Govt was sownr on an amavasya.

Gowda too over on the next Purnima [also best avoided but better than

amavasya] last some months at least.

 

max can be un 2 Lagnas it is good Mesha, vrischika that too in 2 months of a

yr

 

THIS IS LIKE ASHWATHAMA HATAH [KUNJARAHA] If kujnarah is silent or not loud

enough to be heard, some mistake has got down the public from TN alone

 

they also have popularised the Rahu Kala puja which again is film scripts

based and not in any shastra

will u see any temple open during ./30- 3 pm? or 3 to 4.30 pm no only film

scripts did it and is thriving by the unscrupulous ones in some temples.

 

THIS MESSAGE IS NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE, CULTURE OR LANGUAGE IT IS A FACT SHEET

AS IT STANDS.

 

I will gladly change my stand if the scriptural authoroty is given for this

as no other state follow this, when all other systems are common, stars,

rasis, aspects, yogas etc.

Dear Prashant Sahab,

 

Nice to see You on this Forum.

I do not have any scripture or classics to quote.

Neither am a authority to quote or proclaim, but since

childhood I have seen Pundits who advise to donate on

Amavasya and Purnima, Maybe because the lunar Vibrations

cause problems for some people with weak Moon, and

whatever reason may be,but people are charged mentally

to donate foodgrains or whatever on these days,and

some good definitely accrues by donation. And we

have heard anna dana is the best dana, also clothes

etc. This may be good especially for

people born on Purnima or Amavasya, but again no

proof as such for above comments. So what does it matter

as long as this makes a person donate.

 

Regarding Rahu Kalam, I have personally seen on various

occassions that during span of this 1 and 1/2 hour,

I used to recieve invariably calls from people

asking for payments (Business payments), flights

being delayed etc.if a person commences his journey to

the airport or railway station during Rahu Kalam.

Also many fights/arguments taking place during this

time if one engages in extra talking with anyone.

 

Once I asked my Uncle who is a very spiritual man

from South India, and when I asked him what should one

be doing during Rahu Kalam if I cannot start new work,

or journey ,auspicious work,

or make new transaction for any sales voluntarily,

then what should a person do,as he cant waste his time

doing nothing for fear,then My Uncle advised me that

one shoulkd try to do Pooja/Prayers doing Rahu Kalam.

He never said do any Rahu Kalam Pooja but said do any

Prayers/recitations during this period.

 

What is right or wrong God knows, but we have been brought

up in this manner and deviation,with the imbibed knowledge

does put some imaginary fears in ones mind.

 

I look forward to more of your meaningful and helpful posts

as I have witnessed in other Forums.

 

regards,

Bhaskar.

Bhaskar,

there r 3 parts here

 

1ST if it is about charity anyday is good

and amavasya ior purnima also fine

THIS HABIT CAN BE THERE NO PROB

 

BUT ON RAHU KALAM i agree with what u said and for people with it in 4, 6,

8,12 it is like what u said for people in 5,9 it is the best time check this

out

 

and Pujas as such is fine

but temples doing this to spin money with spl pujas --------------NO

 

BUT AGAIN FOR THE SAKE OF SOME religious practice when Hindu values ar

diminishign this too I fell is ok to some extent as long as no fleecing is

there.

where it can hurt the religion more.

Dear Angel, Prashant, Bhaskar and All,

 

If I might add my thoughts here (I stand corrected if in error). I'm sure

everyone knows the story about Karna (finding only gold and silver, but no

food, when he ascended to the higher worlds) returning to this life (after

prayers to Yama) to feed the Brahmins and the poor for the fourteen days of

Mahalaya Paksha. Because of this (charity) it was ordained by Yama that

offerings made during this period would benefit all departed souls. New Moon

day (Amavasya) considered most auspicious in this regard.

 

Feeding Brahmins etc. is part of the remedy (given by Parashara) for birth

during Amavasya. http://jyotishvidya.com/ch86.htm

 

I, of course, am not Hindu and certainly stand corrected if in error, but I

can see the logic of considering charity (given on Amavasya) to be

auspicious for departed souls, in the same way that remedial measures taken

on behalf of a child born during Amavasya is auspicious...in that it

alleviates the suffering associated with such a birth.

 

Perhaps the controversy (confusion) lies in the use of the word

'auspicious'??

 

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy

Dear Wendyji,

 

At the same time let me also confess that this day of Amavasya is

not considered as auspicious for many purposes like making any

good purchases or starting anything anew etc. In fact as I am in

Mutual Funds business today one client who wanted to put good money

in investment told me after taking application Forms that

we (His family elders) would decide tomorrow in which company to

invest and how much. When I asked him why he said (And reminded me)

that it was Amavasya today.

Even for Dowsing (Pendulum-Teletherapy), we are advised by our

teachers not to do on Full Moon Day and New Moon Day along with

Saturday and few others.Because the reason given is that there is

disturbance on the Earths magnetic field ,and there is possibility of

getting wrong answers.

 

regards,

Bhaskar.

Dear Wendy ji, Prashant, Bhaskar ji and all,

Namaskar.

Amavasya is considered an "auspicious" day in Tamil Nadu for

being 'full' or 'whole' almost akin to pournami.

Like when the moon is full, on this day the contrary.

But Faith in the Divine or the Cosmic Power that rules can turn the

negatives into positives, more so, "Yadbhavam Tad Bhavati".

Otherwise how could the same day trun auspicious for some and

inauspicious for the others.

This is entirely my perception, nothing at all to quote from except

my own experiences.

Regards

Nalini

Dear Prashant, Bhaskar and All,

 

I believe, if we took the time to study, we would find more similarities in

our various religions than differences. For example, 'All Souls Day' (day of

the dead) is observed, according to the Catholic tradition, on 2nd

Nov...unless that falls on a Sunday in which case it's observed on the 3rd.

Perhaps (originally) this was associated with New Moon day but just

'fell-into' being the 2nd regardless of the phase of the Moon... I can't

really say.

 

On this day a special Mass is offered for the departed Souls in purgatory

and, in the home, an altar is made with an offering of food upon it. It is

believed that the dead partake of the food in spirit and the living eat it

later. The offerings are beautifully arranged with flowers such as

marigolds, which are the traditional flower of the dead. There is a candle

placed for each dead soul, and they are adorned in some manner. Incense is

also often used, and mementos, photos, and other remembrances of the dead

also adorn the ofrenda (altar).

 

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy

Dear All,

 

My two cents on amavasya and rahu kalam...

first amavasya is starting of new moon phase (growth) and it is a

belief in tamilnadu that all the works started from amavasya day

will grow and probably we may not have proper evidence as it is age

old belief. I read long back the reasoning for this belief in Q&A

session of sakthi vikatan by the seshadrinatha swamigal, retired

principal of sanskrit college, madras. I dont think just absence of

evidence or shastra will make this belief wrong unless we prove

scientifically otherwise.

 

second on rahu kalam, it is essentially dedicated to worship of devi

in tamilnadu and many of temple kept it open for the devotees to

perform the rahu kala puja and if u see really, only durga or

sarabeshwara sannadhi is kept open and not the main deity or sacro

sanctum.

 

India is very vast with diverse cultures, customs and beliefs and

definitely there will be bound to be differences in practices. But

ultimately it all depends on environment one lives and sure u know

it well.

[Guest guest]

Dear Mrs. Wendy,

 

The day "amavasya" is considered a favourable day (let me not use the

word 'auspicious') for certain ceremonies/performing

rituals/performing certain karmas. A person performs "Darpanam" for

the Pitrus on this day.

 

But this day is not considered favourable or forbidden for certain

other karmas or for certain other Muhurthas.

 

But generally when the person cannot wait to do certain things (not

getting other favourable muhurtas according to his own chart) he can

start the work after amavasya. The astrological basis for this is

you know pretty well that Moon is going away from Sun from this day

onwards. In other words, the Moon gains its strength - Paksha Phala.

 

So far as the Charity is concerned, that is the best remedy one can

do to ward off his evil karmas of past and present that could be done

on any day the moment he wishes. It should not be postponed. (The

mind is always "Chanchal") Generally, you cannot often make up your

mind to do charity. Hence it needs no muhurtha.

 

 

Regards, C.S. Ravindramani.

 

PS: "Darpanam" = offering water with black "Sesame" seeds with Kusa

leaves for the Pitrus (fore fathers- Spinda - i.e. forefather's of

seven generations) on this day.

 

"Chanchal" = restless
