Astrea: Hindu Calendar Question

[Guest guest]

The Hindu Calendar question is based on the cycle of the moon. The

first 15 days when the moon is waxing which is the bright fortnight

is called the Shukla paksha. The 15 days when the moon is waning, the

dark fortnight is called the Krishna paksha. Generally the Shukla

paksha is more auspicious for certain things. In the Chandi, the

Goddess specifies that the 8th, 9th, and 14th days are the most

auspicious for listening to or reciting her glories. This could be

either paksha.

The 4th day is auspicious for Ganesha. The 11th day is auspicious for

Vishnu, called ekadashi. The 14th is auspicious for Shiva and the

night of no moon called Amavasya is auspicious for Kali. And of

course there is the full moon or Purnima.

If you want an exact day and time for consecrating a yantra you may

want to consult an astrologer.

Namaste Parvati!

Thank you so much for this info!

 

I wish I could afford the electional (Muhurta?) services of a

professional Vedic astrologer! They tend to be expensive.

 

I have access to Vedic Astrology software. The two L.R. Chawdri books

do give enough info for me to be able to figure out what I need to

time the activation -- it's just a matter of digging it out and

putting it together.

Thanks again for taking the time!
