Can we start Fasts during the 2 weeks of ancestors poojas

[Guest guest]

Respected astrologers

 

I understand that from Monday, 15 Sept. it is 2 weeks of offering for

our pitrus. I was planning to start fasting for a goddess from Friday

onwards. Is it alright to start a fast during these times or do I need

to wait until the pitru offering time is finished. When does it finish?

Thank you.

Dear Maiden,

 

Om Namo Narayana.

 

Fasting for any particular purpose or in oder to seek blessings of a

particular Deity falls under the category of " Kamya Vrata " . The Vrata

is but a resolve to carry out certain acts including omissions. These

are also undertaken as part of Parva (Festivity Events). But your Vrata

is " Kamya " , that is directed at achievement of a particular object and

hence it has its own rules . for example it is to be carried out on

Friday or commence at Friday etc etc.

 

It therefore has no " Pradesh " as such. Only thing is that there should

not be a " Sootak " (defilement due to certain happenings like during

menstrual cycle, death of some relation, birth of a child, in the

family etc) or detraction, weakness etc.

 

The Fortnight of the Menes (Pitri Paksha) or " Shraadha " as it is called

in Inda, is a " Parva " and which occurs on fixidity of time, that is

Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada Month when the full moon will occur in

Bhadrapada Nakashtra in Pisces. This year, it commences from Bhadra

Poornima on 15 Sep and will be over on 29 Sep 08 on " Somawati

Amavasya " . Panchaka are from 13 to 17 Sep. You Friday is unblemished.

The Pavia does not effect election astrology for a Vratta, pertulary

Kamya Vratta. The only determinant perhaps is Friday.

 

I hope it clarifies your understanding.

 

Have a nice Britta.

Thank you for your response and clarification.

 

As I understand it, it is alright to commence fasting during the Shard period.

 

Could you please clarify what you mean by saying " The only determinant perhaps

is Friday " .

 

Thank you.
