It is believed that Goddess Gayatri’s manifestation took place on this very day. She is considered the Goddess of all the four Vedas (Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharvaveda). Hence, she is also known as Ved Mata (mother of Vedas). During Gayatri Jayanti, Goddess Gayatri is worshipped by following various rites and rituals. Additionally, Gayatri Mantra, and Gayatri Chalisa are chanted and Gayatri Aarti is sung on this day to attain the blessings of the Goddess herself.

Religious Significance of Gayatri Jayanti 


It is believed that the essence of Hindu culture and religion originates from Goddess Gayatri only. The Shastras state that all the four Vedas and holy shrines came into existence because of her. Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva worship her, which is why she is also known as Dev Mata. Goddess Parvati, Goddess Saraswati and Goddess Laxmi are her incarnation. 

Holy Union of Lord Brahma and Goddess Gayatri 


Goddess Gayatri is also the better half of Lord Brahma. It is mentioned in an epic tale that once Lord Brahma had to take part in a Yajna (Yagya), but his wife Goddess Savitri was not present there. As the attendance of both the husband and wife in a Yagya is considered auspicious, thus Lord Brahma got married to Goddess Gayatri so as to participate in the Yagya. 


Rites and Rituals to Follow on Gayatri Jayanti 

  • Wake up early in the morning and take a bath in the Ganga, the holy river.
  • Observe an oath to fast on this day.
  • Venerate Goddess Gayatri on this day.
  • Chant Gayatri Chalisa.
  • Chant Gayatri Mantra and conduct an obsolation (hawan).
  • Also, chant Shri Aditya Hriday Strotam.
  • At the end, sing the Gayatri aarti.
  • It is considered auspicious to donate grains, jaggery and wheat on this day.
  • Donate food items or sweet beverages on this day. 

Nirjala Ekadashi Festival on the Same Day


Coincidentally, Nirjala Ekadashi will also be observed on the same day. This festival also has great eminence in Hinduism as Lord Vishnu is worshipped during this festival. The fast of Ekadashi is kept by the devotees and the consumption of water is also almost avoided on this day. Various myths suggest that the first NIrjala Ekadashi fast was observed by a person named Bhimsen, which is why this festival is also known as Bhimseni Ekadashi. 


Conventional wisdom asserts that the observation of this fast with a pure heart and full dedication will procure the same amount of results which are gained after successfully observing all the Ekadashi fasts. One who keeps the Nirjala Ekadashi Fast is blessed with longevity and salvation. During this Ekadashi too, natives should observe fasts and make donations.

Ganga Dussehra: Bathing In The Ganga Will Cleanse These Sins!

As per the mythological beliefs, Goddess Ganga got pleased with the intense penance of King Bhagirath and decided to grace this mortal world with her presence. The day she got incarnated was the tenth day (dashami) of Jyeshtha Shukla Paksha. In order to celebrate her descent into this world, we celebrate this day as Ganga Dussehra every year. It is also believed that worshipping the Goddess on this day, and chanting the Ganga Stotra while standing in the river, washes away all sins of an individual. 




When Is Ganga Dussehra Celebrated?


As discussed earlier, the tenth day of Shukla Paksha of the Jyeshtha month, as per the Hindu Panchang, is commemorated as Ganga Dussehra every year. The Skanda Purana states that along with bathing in the pious river (ganga snan), charity and meditation should also be done on this day. Doing good deeds today helps one cleanse all their sins.


Significance Of Ganga Dussehra


Hindus have called the Ganga, ‘Maa’, i.e., mother for centuries. Even today, every person has reverence for Maa Ganga, and devotees from every corner of India reach religious places like Haridwar, Banaras, Rishikesh, etc., on this occasion for Ganga Darshan. Moreover, it is believed that bathing in the pious river (Ganga snan) eradicates ten types of sins of a person. These include: four vocal, three corporeal, and three mental sins. Anyone who wishes to get rid of the same should do Ganga Snan on the day of Ganga Dussehra.

Ganga Dussehra Celebrations


Celebration of the festival of Ganga Dussehra is very significant for the devotees of Hindu religion. On this day, they worship Goddess Bhagirathi, and take dips in the holy river to cleanse their sins. Charity and donations are of great importance on this day too. Throngs of people are gathered at the banks of the holy Ganga. However, the Ganga Dussehra of Varanasi is given a higher preference because there, it is celebrated in a spectacular way. After the Ganga snan, one should do the Ganga aarti.


Puja Vidhi And Charity On Ganga Dussehra


  • On this day, one takes a bath in the Ganga river.
  • Those devotees who are unable to visit the banks of the Ganga should take a bath in a nearby pond, lake, or river while ruminating (meditating) about the goddess.
  • Taking ten dips in Ganga or any river is considered auspicious.
  • Afterwards, one should worship the Goddess, following the rituals properly according to Shodashopchar.
  • Chant the following mantra during the veneration:

ऊँ नम: शिवायै नारायण्यै दशहरायै गंगायै नम: ।।

ūm̐ nama: śivāyai nārāyaṇyai daśaharāyai gaṃgāyai nama: ।।

  • Thereafter, recite this mantra while offering five flowers to Goddess Ganga:

ऊँ नमो भगवते ऐं ह्रीं श्रीं हिलि हिलि मिलि मिलि गंगे मां पावय पावय स्वाहा।।

ūm̐ namo bhagavate aiṃ hrīṃ śrīṃ hili hili mili mili gaṃge māṃ pāvaya pāvaya svāhā।।


  • It is said that King Bhagirath chanted this mantra while requesting Maa Ganga to take incarnation on Earth. Therefore, it is also known as the Name Mantra of Bhagirath.
  • In addition to all this, all things present in the puja ingredients for worshipping Goddess Jahnvi should be ten in count, like ten types of flowers, ten naivedya, ten betel leaves, and ten types of fruits.
  • Any devotee who wishes to make a donation or do charity should also do that of ten objects.
  • If you are donating sesame and barley, then that should not be less than 16 fistfuls.
  • Devotees who wish to make donations to Brahmins should remember that the number ten will be auspicious here as well.

Ganga Aarti

ॐ जय गंगे माता, मैया जय गंगे माता।

जो नर तुमको ध्याता, मनवांछित फल पाता।

ॐ जय गंगे माता, मैया जय गंगे माता।

चंद्र सी ज्योति तुम्हारी, जल निर्मल आता।

शरण पड़े जो तेरी, सो नर तर जाता।

ॐ जय गंगे माता, मैया जय गंगे माता।

पुत्र सगर के तारे, सब जग को ज्ञाता।

कृपा दृष्टि हो तुम्हारी, त्रिभुवन सुख दाता।

ॐ जय गंगे माता, मैया जय गंगे माता।

एक बार जो प्राणी, शरण तेरी आता।

यम की त्रास मिटाकर, परमगति पाता।

ॐ जय गंगे माता, मैया जय गंगे माता।

आरति मातु तुम्हारी, जो नर नित गाता।

सेवक वही सहज में, मुक्ति को पाता।

ॐ जय गंगे माता, मैया जय गंगे माता।

oṃ jaya gaṃge mātā, maiyā jaya gaṃge mātā।

jo nara tumako dhyātā, manavāṃchita phala pātā।

oṃ jaya gaṃge mātā, maiyā jaya gaṃge mātā।

caṃdra sī jyoti tumhārī, jala nirmala ātā।

śaraṇa paḍa़e jo terī, so nara tara jātā।

oṃ jaya gaṃge mātā, maiyā jaya gaṃge mātā।

putra sagara ke tāre, saba jaga ko jñātā।

kṛpā dṛṣṭi ho tumhārī, tribhuvana sukha dātā।

oṃ jaya gaṃge mātā, maiyā jaya gaṃge mātā।

eka bāra jo prāṇī, śaraṇa terī ātā।

yama kī trāsa miṭākara, paramagati pātā।

oṃ jaya gaṃge mātā, maiyā jaya gaṃge mātā।

ārati mātu tumhārī, jo nara nita gātā।

sevaka vahī sahaja meṃ, mukti ko pātā।

oṃ jaya gaṃge mātā, maiyā jaya gaṃge mātā।

Ganga Dussehra is considered to be a very auspicious day. Devotees of the Hindu religion portray their devotion towards Maa Ganga, who has been flowing in India since centuries. Wish you a very Happy Ganga Dussehra as well!

Economic prosperity, familial happiness, professional or business-related success and big journeys are on the cards. Meanwhile, on 15 June 2019, the royal planet Sun will move out from Taurus and take nest in the zodiac sign Gemini. Consequently, many circumstances will alter and the transit’s impact will be seen on all the 12 zodiac signs. 

What is Special About This Week’s Hindu Panchang?


As per the Hindu Panchang, this week will begin with Ashtami Tithi during the Shukla Paksha and Purva Phalguni Nakshatra. Luminary Moon will remain posited in Leo zodiac sign at this point of time. The week will end with Chaturdashi Tithi, during the Shukla Paksha and Anuradha Nakshatra. While the week is coming to an end, the presence of Moon will be seen in Scorpio sign. Along with this, Ganga Dussehra will also commence on Wednesday, 12 June 2019. The ritual of taking bath in Ganga, the holy river, is also followed on this day. Another festival, Gayatri Jayanti or Nirjala Ekadashi, will also be commemorated on Thursday, 13 June 2019 and the entire nation will celebrate Vat Purnima on 16 June, 2019. On the day of Vrat Purnima, the tradition of observing a fast and making donations is considered quite significant. Considering the occurrence of so many auspicious festivals, this week’s significance increases to a great extent. 

Planetary Positions This Week 


During the week’s beginning, Moon will get posited in Leo zodiac sign. It will then proceed to make its transit in the zodiac signs of Virgo, Libra and Scorpio. According to the Kaal Purush Kundali, these zodiac signs represent the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth houses respectively. Moon will also move through Purva Phalguni, Uttaraphalguni, Hast, Chitra, Swati, Vishakha, Anurdaha and Jyeshta Nakshatra and procure results accordingly. On Saturday, 15 June 2019, Sun will also make its transit from Taurus to Gemini zodiac sign. While remaining posited in Gemini, Sun will also get conjuncted with Mercury and as a result, Budhaditya Yoga will get formed. The conjunction of Mercury and Sun in Gemini will further get conjuncted with the pair of Rahu and Mars, which are already present in Gemini. Because of these vivid conjunctions, there will be a rise in the prices of iron, oil, sugar, gold and silver all over the nation. 

Know The Weekly Fortune Of Share Market


The return of Modi Sarkar and anticipation of political stability has brought positive changes to the Share Market. As these changes are taking place, it is expected that the news of banks, especially government banks selling NPA and government making investments in it and the decision of offering economic help will cause their shares to increase unexpectedly. During this week only, a fall in the market prices will be witnessed due to the sell-out conducted by institutional investors. Thus, it will be beneficial to deal with alcohol, cigarettes, hotels and tour and travels at the beginning of the week only. 

What will be the Impact of Sun’s Transit on the Nation?


Mercury is forming a conjunction with Sun during this week. At the same time, Sun is also in conjunction with Rahu and forming an elliptical yoga (grahan yoga). Being the significator of government sector, father and eyes, the Sun will create problems for the fathers of natives in whose Kundali the Sun resides. Along with this, due to the Grahan Yoga, the political party which is in power will have to face many global as well as local challenges during the transitory period of the Sun.

Venus Transit In Taurus Brings Major Changes In Your Life!

Professional prosperity and foreign trips!! The transit of Venus has it all in store for you. Read how the planet’s transit in Taurus zodiac sign makes an impact in your life. 


The planet Venus is considered to have utmost relevance in Vedic Astrology. It is the significator of aspects like love, marriage, inadvertence, glory, luxury, passion, skin tone, art, culture, literature, and children. Since it is also the governor of glory, Venus behaves as the “King” of all the nine planets. The colours endorsed by this planet are pink and blue, which are mostly dear to women natives. Talking about luxuries and comforts, the strengthened position of Venus in one’s Kundali enables him/her to earn the comfort of a four-legged vehicle. On the contrary, its weak state creates hurdles in leading a lavish life. 

Venus being exalted in any sign results in the native being more inclined towards sensuous activities and women, as compared to others. Such a native always wants to live his/her life king size, i.e. in a leisurely manner. Love becomes an integral part of his/life and involvement in sensual activities becomes a part of his lifestyle. A dreamy radiance is clearly visible on the faces of those natives who are under the influence of Venus. 

Positive Effects of Venus in One’s Kundali


  • The natives who are under the influence of Venus possess a long, dark and attractive face. Apart from that, they are also quite soft spoken. 
  • Such natives do not hesitate to strike a conversation with anyone. 
  • Because of this character trait, people never lose interest in him/her. 
  • It is also seen that natives who are governed by Venus never maintain an apathetic attitude. 
  • Just like Venus resides in the Solar System in a romantic manner, in the same way, it also provides endless romance to the natives who are under its governance. 

Negative Effects of Venus in one’s Kundali 


  • The Kundali in which Venus remains in a debilitated state or maintains an inimical relationship with the same, such native witnesses inauspicious situations in life. Similar results come forward if Venus also gets aspected by any malefic planet. 
  • Due to the impact of a weak Venus, a native lets go of his/her materialistic desires instead of pursuing them. He/she becomes more of a saint. 
  • Such a native leads a dispirited lifestyle, which is devoid of any economic sustenance or pleasure. The ship of his/her love life loses direction even before it starts to sail. 
  • The main reason behind this is the arid nature of Venus, which makes an individual irritated and bad-tempered. 


Timing of Venus Transit 


It is quite important for Venus to remain strong in one’s kundali so that he/she gets access to all sorts of materialistic comforts and pleasures. It’s presence in the various houses of a Kundali also provides an enhancement to fortune. Of all the planets residing in the solar system, Mercury and Saturn are its friendly planets and it maintains an inimical relationship with the Sun and Moon. Venus remains posited in a zodiac sign for a duration of 23 days and on the 24 day, it moves forward and transit in the another zodiac sign. The same Venus, who is also the determiner of love, marriage, and beauty, transited in Taurus on Tuesday, 4 June 2019, at 11:11 AM, and will remain posited in the sign until Saturday, 29 June, 2019, around 01:21 AM. All the signs will feel the impact of this transit during this time period. 

This blog provides information about the impact of this transit on your zodiac sign. But, before moving forward, let us have a look at the changes that will take place all over the country due to the transit of Venus in Taurus. 

Venus and Health 


  • Due to the weakened state of Venus in the Kundali, venereal, gynecological, breast or urinary bladder related problems can be experienced by the natives while Venus remains in its transitory motion. Since it is transiting in Taurus, then natives of this zodiac sign may suffer from swelling, tonsils, cheek related problems, cough and ulcers formed inside mouth and tongue. 
  • During its transitory motion, Venus will reside in the seventh house of Scorpio zodiac sign, which is why natives of Scorpio may experience Gonorrhea, caenogenesis and many such medical conditions. 
  • Because of the planet’s transit in the eighth house of Libra zodiac, natives of this sign may develop a fear of robbery, armoury and fire
  • Leo natives should specifically remain cautious during this period, as they may experience various major and minor health issues. 
  • Since, Venus is transiting in the second house from Aries, natives under this zodiac sign may suffer from heart problems, eye problems and certain kinds of mental problems. 

The Transit Of Venus Also Strikes The World Of Bollywood 


During this transit, Venus is entering its own zodiac sign, Taurus, which will prove to be beneficial for its natives. Keeping this in mind, if we take a look at the movies which are yet to release, then it can be seen that Kangana Ranaut’s “ Mental Hain Kya” may earn special blessings of Venus while it remains in its transitory motion. This can be said because Miss Ranaut’s zodiac sign also happens to be Taurus. However it performs at the box office, Kangana will definitely earn praiseworthy remarks because of it.

Shani Jayanti & Vat Savitri Vrat Tomorrow, Get Your Wishes Fulfilled!

Shani Jayanti and Vat Savitri Vrat create four auspicious yogas after years! Read how to attain the blessings of Lord Shani by worshipping him according to the Muhurat.


Shani Jayanti is celebrated on the Amavasya during the month of Jyestha. In Hinduism, the day of Amavasya is considered to be auspicious for fasting and reaping its fruits, making donations, and carrying out Pindaan to pacify the ancestors and forefathers. This auspicious event is celebrated on the Jyestha Amavasya. There is a provision of venerating Lord Shani on this auspicious day. We all know that the son of Sun, Shani or Saturn is one among the nine planets and move around its celestial orbit on a slow pace, hereby garnering the name Shanaishchara. It is the significator of Karma and Justice, and hence is hailed as the Karma Phal Data or the Giver of Karma & Actions. On this special day of Shani Jayanti, married women also observe the Vat Savitri Vrat for the longevity of their respective husbands.

Vat Savitri Vrat


Vat Savitri is a major festival for married women, although now a days, unmarried and widowed women too observe this fast. This day is observed on the Shani Jayanti or Jyestha Amavasya. On this day, women worship the Vat or Banyan tree with full devotion according to the auspicious muhurat and wish to remain blessed and married just like Savitri. It is believed that on this day, Savitri saved her husband’s life from Lord Yam, and asked him to spare his life. This is why the pair of Satyavan-Savitri along with the idol of Lord Shani is worshipped.

Vat Savitri, Jyestha Amavasya & Shani Jayanti Muhurat

3 June, 2019 (Monday)  (As per the Purnimant)
June 2, 2019, Amavasya Begins From 16:41:34
June 3, 2019, Amavasya Ends At 15:33:15

Note: Note: Above time is applicable for New Delhi. Click here to know the muhurat for Amavasya according to Amant for your city.

Importance of Vat Savitri Vrat Muhurat


According to the Shastriya Panchang Meemansha, there are two traditions mentioned which should be followed while observing the Vat Savitri Vrat:

  1. First: As per the traditions followed in the North, this fast must be observed during Jyeshtha Amavasya, and
  2. Second: As per the traditions followed in the South, this fast must be observed during Jyeshtha Purnima.

One special thing to denote is that in both these aspects, this fast is carried out on the Purva (Chaturdashi) Vidya Amavasya or Purnima. It is believed that the pious Savitri saved her husband from the grip of Lord Yamraj. According to our astrologers, this year, this fast will prove to be of high significance to women, as four events are occurring on this very day. The first is Somwati Amavasya, second is Sarvarth Siddhi Yog, third is Sanyog Amrit Siddhi and the fourth one is Trigrahi Yog.

Worshipping Rituals For Vat Savitri Vrat 


  • All the rituals must be followed when observing the Vat Savitri Vrat.
  • On the early morning of Jyestha Krishna Triyodashi, women who are fasting must take a bath early and then recite the following mantra:

'मम वैधव्यादिसकलदोषपरिहारार्थं ब्रह्मसावित्रीप्रीत्यर्थं च वट सावित्री व्रतमहं करिष्ये।'

'mama vaidhavyādisakaladoṣaparihārārthaṃ brahmasāvitrīprītyarthaṃ ca vaṭa sāvitrī vratamahaṃ kariṣye।'

  • Taking a resolution after chanting the mantra, one must fast for three days.
  • In case fasting for three consecutive days isn’t possible, then one must consume food on the night of Trayodashi or thirteenth day, should not expect or eat much on Chaturdashi and fast on the Amavasya. After this, the native can end the fast on the Shukla Pratipada.
  • After this, the woman who is fasting must sit near a Banyan tree, fill a bamboo plate or container with Sapta Dhanya or seven types of grains and cover it up with two types of cloth.
  • Now establish the idols of Brahma Savitri and Satya Savitri and worship them using akshat and fragrance.
  • After this, wrap a yarn thread around the Banyan tree while circumambulating around it and worship as instructed.

Importance of Jyestha Amavasya & Shani Jayanti


As per the mythological stories, Lord Shani, the son of Lord Sun, was born on the day of Jyestha Amavasya, which increases its religious significance. In Vedic Astrology, Lord Shani is the significator of Karma, actions and service. Hereby, special remedies are followed and worshipping is done to pacify the malefic effects of Saturn and seek the blessings of Lord Shani. Also, he is known to be the Punisher and the Judge of the modern times or Kaliyug. This is the reason why we must not consider Saturn as our enemy, but as the God of Justice & Karma for all the creatures of the world.


Puja Rituals for Lord Shani

  • On the day of Shani Jayanti, the native must take an early bath and purify himself.

Shani Vedic Mantra: 

ॐ शं नो देवीरभिष्टय आपो भवन्तु पीतये।
शं योरभि स्त्रवन्तु न:।। 

oṃ śaṃ no devīrabhiṣṭaya āpo bhavantu pītaye।
śaṃ yorabhi stravantu na:।।

Shani Tantrik Mantra: 

ॐ शं शनैश्चराय नमः।।
