Preeti

one of the most common things people experience, yet nobody talks about it. Look at when all our major festivals happen. Navratri, Dussehra, Diwali, Holi, Makar Sankranti.. they do not happen on random days. They are aligned with Ritu Sandhi.. Sandhi is always a massive energetic shift. As the season changes, temperature, humidity, wind and the Prana Vayu around us also change. In Ayurveda, this is the time when the Vata, Pitta, Kapha doshas in your physical body lose their balance. When the doshas are disturbed, the mind naturally becomes agitated, restless Now look at Diwali Diwali happens on Kartika Amavasya. The Sun is always debilitated in Libra during Diwali. Always. And the Moon has lost 100% of its light into Amavasya. The Sun rules your atma, your core vitality. The Moon rules your emotions and how you react. When both the Sun and Moon are at their weakest point of the entire year, the human nervous system feels completely drained. Your natural tolerance level drops. Small irritations feel like massive insults. Ego clashes and emotional outbursts trigger instantly over the smallest things.. And there is one more thing in Tantra Shastra. Festivals generate a huge amount of tejas in a house because of the cleaning, diyas etc But before Maa Lakshmi enters, Her older sister Alakshmi tries to enter first. Alakshmi feeds on kalesh, bitter mind. The moment an argument breaks out in a clean house just before the puja, Alakshmi takes her seat. The energy drops instantly and the tejas is destroyed. So the next time you feel a irrational wave of anger right before a major festival.. just stop. Recognize the pattern before you react to it. A disturbed Sandhi can create the pressure.. but whether u feed that kalesh is still in ur hands.

Diwali.. a festival of lights & crackers We all light diyas, burst firecrackers Most of us think it is a celebration to welcome Bhagwan Rama back to Ayodhya. What if I say this is not the only reason? See, our ancestors did not design festivals just for decoration. To understand this, look at what started a month ago in Pitru Paksha. Our Dharma texts give special importance to Mahalaya when the Sun is in Virgo. This is the period when Pitrs are believed to come close to their descendants to receive Shraddha. Not only our ancestors, but many unfulfilled wandering entities <Pretas, Bhutas, Pisachas, Brahmarakshasas etc> also enter the earth during that window. And when does that portal close? Right now.. when the Sun enters Libra and hits Kartika Amavasya. Kartika Amavasya is the darkest night of the entire year because BOTH sources of cosmic light are gone. The Sun <Atma, Prana> is in its deepest debilitation sign Libra. And the Moon has lost 100% of its light into Amavasya. When both sources of light go missing during this transition, the energetic shield of the earth drops to its lowest point. Stagnant energies and seasonal diseases easily multiply in the dark air. To counter this, the Skanda Purana gives a specific ritual for this evening called .. holding fire toward the sky with the mantra tulāsaṃsthe sahasrāṃśau pradoṣe bhūtadarśayoḥ ulkāhastā narāḥ kuryuḥ pitṝṇāṃ mārgadarśanam When the Sun is in Libra, during Pradosha of Chaturdashi & Amavasya, people should hold <Ulka> in their hands and show the Pitrs their path. and the next verse becomes even more interesting.. it specifically mentions the <Pretas> and says they too see this path. There is another mantra preserved with this Deepavali rite yamalokaṃ parityajya āgatā ye mahālaye ujjvalajyotiṣā vartma prapaśyantu vrajantu te Those who left Yamaloka and came during Mahalaya.. may they see their path through this blazing light and return. And why loud crackers and smoke? Look at it through Tattva Shastra. Negative entities thrive in two things.. darkness and dead silence. Fire purifies the Agni & Vayu Tattva. And sudden, loud sound hits the Akasha Tattva When loud sound explodes in the sky along with the smoke of Gandhak (sulphur, which Ayurveda calls a destroyer of unseen impurities in the air)), the sound breaks the stagnant pockets of tamas sitting around your home. Our forefathers did not do random noise or decoration. When the Sun in the sky became debilitated, they lit millions of diyas on the earth with mustard oil & ghee so darkness could not take over the space. So when u light ur diyas and burst crackers tonight, know what u are actually doing. You are clearing the Akasha and Vayu around ur home before inviting Maa Mahalakshmi in. Always remember the logic before reducing Deepavali to decoration, sweets and crackers. Shubh Deepavali 🪔

Kali Chaudas + Chitra Nakshatra + Saturday A very powerful night to clear out fear, drishti, heaviness which just does not leave easily. Just a while back, moon crossed from Virgo into Libra.. leaving retrograde debilitated Venus at 29° Virgo and moving into the same sign as debilitated Sun & retrograde Mercury. Nakshatra lord.. Moon is in Mars-ruled Chitra, while Mars itself is sitting at 27° Cancer in Ashlesha gandanta. Use the night if a difficult Shani or Rahu-Ketu period is running and life has started feeling like everything takes twice the effort.. the same office enemy, same legal matter, same fear or one situation which keeps coming back even after you thought it was over. light 14 diyas around the house this evening.. especially near the kitchen sink, water storage area, main gate, tulsi, balcony and any dark corners in the West or SouthWest direction. Visit a Hanuman temple if possible. Offer sindoor & chameli oil and recite Hanuman Chalisa. At home, light a til or mustard oil diya before Hanuman Ji. Offer red flowers & a little gud if available and recite Hanuman Chalisa. If Bajrang Baan is part of ur practice, recite it keeping that one fear in mind. Also offer food, sweets or money with respect to a sanitation worker, security guard, anyone working late on the street tonight. If u do Shiva or Devi upasana, Masik Shivratri & Kali Chaudas are both running.. use Nishita Kaala tonight for ur regular japa. One thing I would not do tonight.. dont experiment with unknown mantras or random totkas picked from social media just because someone says tonight is powerful. Jai Bajrang Bali 🙏 Har Har Mahadev 🔱

Buy dhaniya, buy a broom, buy turmeric, buy salt.. but buy them if it is your family tradition. Do it with respect. It keeps the culture alive. Just dont confuse every local custom with something written in Shastra. do not buy them thinking these are some get rich quick totkas..being publicized all over social media. There is a difference between Shastra & Lokachaar. What you should do today 1. Today is Dhanvantari Trayodashi Do one thing for your health which you have been postponing.. start walking again, fix one bad food habit, book the health checkup, restart yoga. If possible, visit medical store or government hospital and help someone who cannot afford their medicine. 2. Yama Deepam - After sunset, light an oil diya outside the main entrance facing south for Yamaraja & pray for protection of the family from akala mrityu. 3. One more thing is happening today.. It is Friday and Shukra Pradosh. Venus has retrograded back into Virgo while Mercury is in Libra. Mercury-Venus exchange is active now. For those struggling with money stability, use the next 3 Fridays.. Nov 6, 13 & 20. Lakshmi Kubera puja can be done during Pradosh. Light a ghee diya before Maa Lakshmi after sunset. Put a small sandalwood tilak on the diya and offer a lotus or fragrant white flower. Listen to or recite Shri Suktam if you know it. Otherwise do Maa Mahalakshmi naam japa Jai Bhagwan Dhanvantari 🙏 Jai Maa Mahalakshmi 🙏🪷
