AATHREYA - Auspicious Days Ahead

 

 

 

1. Wednesday , 16 January 2008 is Budha Ashttami aka

 

MahaaBhadra Ashttami , MahaaRudra Ashttami , Kaala Ashttami,

 

eighth day of Pushya Maasam , Pushya Suddha Ashttami.

 

This day is auspicious for Yama Dharma Raaja ,

 

VeeraBhadra and Maheshwara .

 

 

 

2. Saturday , 19 January 2008 is Koorma Dwaadasi .

 

Vishnu as Koorma Avathaar – Giant Tortoise ,

 

supported Mandara Parvatham ( mountain ) on His back

 

enabling Devas and Daanavas to churn Milky Ocean

 

in their quest to obtain Amruth , nectar of eternal life.

 

 

 

For all those devotees observing fast on Ekaadasi , they

 

should continue their fast next day i.e.Dwaadasi during

 

the first quarter of Dwaadasi hours after Sunrise. This

 

period is known as Hari Vaasara Dwaadasi. They can

 

break their fast after the period of Hari Vaasara Dwaadasi

 

elapses , but before Thrayodasi begins.

 

For Example ; -

 

Day One - Ekaadasi – fast whole day.

 

Day Two - Say Dwaadasi hours are for twelve hours from sun rise –

 

one fourth of 12 hrs is 3 hours ; suppose Sunrise is at 6 am –

 

Period of Harivaasara Dwaadasi is from 6 am to 9 am ;

 

Fast to be broken only after 9 am but before Thrayodasi sets in .

 

 

 

3. Wednesday , 30 January 2008 is again Ashttami same as

 

16 January 2008 , the only difference being this is BahuLa Ashttami,

 

22nd day of Pushya Maasam also referred as Day of Ashttakam .

 

 

 

May Yama Dharma Raaja , Veera Bhadra , Maheshwara , Mahaa Rudra ,

 

Mahaa Kaala Bless me , You , One and All all over the World.
