Sun is a universally significant planet, not from the celestial point of view but also for humankind. In mythological scriptures, it is hailed as the “soul” of the universe and the “creator”. In Hinduism, it is worshipped as a sacred deity with full devotion, whereas in Vedic astrology, Sun is considered as the leader of all the planets. It owns the zodiac sign Leo and is the ruler of Kritika, Uttara Phalguni, and Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra. When this planet enters any zodiac sign, the auspicious time period to carry out religious tasks begins. During this time, people organise religious ceremonies to ward off negative energies from life. Sun’s movement in different zodiac signs is regarded as the base when calculating Hindu Panchang.

The change in the placement of the Sun affects the people of every zodiac sign. It will transit in the sign Aquarius on 13 February 2019 (Wednesday) at 8:44 AM in the morning and will remain till 5:35 AM on 15 March 2019 (Friday). Hence, how favourable will this transit prove to be, let's know:

Worshipping Goddess Saraswati on Basant Panchami

On Basant Panchami, do Saraswati Puja during auspicious muhurat and gain blessings and prosperity.


As per Hindu Panchang, Basant Panchami falls on the panchami or fifth day during Shukla Paksha in the month of Magh. The season of Spring begins from this date. On this day, Goddess Saraswati is worshipped with a devoted heart. According to the astrologers, Saraswati Puja is carried out after sunrise and before midday on the day of Basant Panchami

Auspicious Puja Muhurat

Puja Muhurat
From 07:03:57 till 12:35:38
Duration
5 Hours 31 Minutes

It has been seen that during the Shukla Paksha, if the fifth day of the month begins after the midday, then the auspicious muhurat for Basant Panchami is observed the very next day. Hereby, keep in mind to carry out the puja rituals according to the muhurat. Simplifying it, the Panchami tithi shouldn’t begin after the midday. Apart from this, one can do the puja in all other circumstances. This is one main reason Basant Panchami can be observed on the Chaturthi tithi or fourth day as per Panchang. 


Importance of Saraswati Puja on Basant Panchami


Today, many people, especially those associated with the field of ​​literature, education, art etc., worship Goddess Saraswati with devotion and love during the auspicious muhurat and try to please her. The day of Basant Panchami is dedicated towards the goddess of knowledge, wisdom, art and culture, Maa Saraswati. Hence, it is believed that if a person performs the puja rituals when worshipping the goddess on the day of Magh Shukla Panchami, s/he attains her blessings. At some places, Maa Sharda is also worshipped on this day. According to the scriptures, on this day, establishing Saraswati Yantra and reciting Saraswati Stotra can also yield good results. 

Mythological Beliefs


As per mythological beliefs, Shodashopachara puja of Goddess Rati and Lord Kamadeva is also performed on this day. Not only this, but it is also said that if a couple worships Lord Kamdev and Goddess Rati on Basant Panchami, then all the problems and obstacles in their marriage get eliminated and their life gets filled with love and happiness.

Worshipping Goddess “Shree” on Basant Panchami


Business-operating natives establish Vyapar Vriddhi Yantra along with worshipping Goddess Laxmi (also known as Shree) and Lord Vishnu. That is why some people worship Lord Lakshmi and Maa Saraswati together. Along with worshipping Maa Laxmi, it is considered important to recite Sri Suktam Path to gain results.

Mars Transit in Aries Brings Major Changes in Life!

Mars transit will eliminate Manglik Dosha for these signs!

Mars, the significator of energy, courage and valour, comes with new opportunities, challenges and changes in your daily life! It represents the colour Red, and hereby is also called the Red Planet. In Vedic Astrology, Mars is considered as the most masculine by nature among the nine planets. It rules over Aries and Scorpio and highlights your ability to turn ideas into action. Sun, Moon and Jupiter are cordial to Mars, whereas Mercury, Rahu, Saturn are considered as inimical planets. It rules the Mrigashirsha, Chitra and Dhanishta Nakshatra, and is known to exalt in the sign Capricorn and debilitate in Cancer.


According to astrology, if Mars is placed in the first, fourth, seventh, eighth or twelfth house in a birth chart, it forms the “Manglik Dosha”. This phenomenon causes problems, delay or obstacles in getting married. A native becomes energetic and courageous in case the planet Mars positively impacts the kundli. Hereby, natives become independent and perform tremendously well in any sport. Experts recommend wearing Coral or Moonga in order to pacify the effects of Mars. Buy Lab Certified Coral from here.

Mauni Amavasya 2019- A Special “Silent” Fast

Amazing coincidence after years! Worshipping by remaining silent or Maun on Magh Amavasya will prosper you with better results!


In Hindu Panchang, the special Amavasya falling during the Krishna Paksha in the month of Magh is called as Magh Amavasya or Mauni Amavasya. It is believed that on this special date, if someone takes a bath in any holy river or reservoir, then he becomes lucky and fortunate. According to religious Gurus or teachers, Mauni has been originated from the word "Muni". That's why it is believed that the level of Muni or saint is attained by keeping the Maun fast. The most important event during the Krishna Paksha of Magh month is also Amavasya, which is why bathing and donating on this special day holds high importance.

Magh Amavasya Muhurat, New Delhi, India
2019 Magh Amavasya: 4 February 2019 (Monday)
Amavasya starting from 23:53:56 on February 3, 2019
Amavasya ending at  02:34:50 on February 5, 2019

Magh Amavasya i.e. Mauni Amavasya is falling on 4th February 2019. On this day, the third Shahi Snan will also be organized in Kumbh, because on the auspicious day of Magha Amavasya, bathing in a holy Sangam has its own special significance.

Importance of Mauni Amavasya


According to old beliefs, Lord Manu was born on this day. According to astro experts, those who are unable to fast on this day should only eat sweetened food. As it is clear from the name, people keep fast by staying silent the whole day. On this day, bathing in holy reservoirs & rivers and offering libation or Tarpan to ancestors brings peace to them. 

It is believed that Vak-Siddhi (वाक्य सिद्धि) or strong power on speech is attained by fasting on this day. Accordingly, it goes by the name of Gungi (Mute) Amavasya at few places. Some devotees remain silent before taking the bath, and few else receive the fruits by fasting the whole day while remaining silent. There is a significant role of offering Arghya to Lord Sun as few scholars believe that poverty in the house will be removed by doing such activity on this day. 

Mauni Amavasya Fast and Religious Work


The date of Amavasya has always been important in Hinduism. In such a case, rituals are followed to perform religious tasks on the day of Magh Amavasya. These are as follows:

  • On the day of Mauni Amavasya, take a bath in the morning, wear clean clothes and worship. By doing so, peace resides within the house.
  • On this day, bathing in a holy river, holy pool or during a pilgrimage proves to be beneficial. 
  • Bathing and offering water to Lord Sun provide salvation and peace to the ancestors.
  • There is also a special significance of keeping Maun Fast on the day of Maun Amavasya. It is believed that if one fasts on this day, the fruits will always be favourable.
  • On this day, it is auspicious to feed the poor and Brahmins.
  • On this day, feed food to 9 girls at home and also donate something to them. By doing this, good results are obtained.
  • On this day, offer water or milk to your ancestors. If you mix black sesame seeds and a spoon of pure Desi Ghee or honey in milk, it will be very good. 
  • It is also auspicious to donate grains, warm clothes, sesame seeds, amla or Indian gooseberry, blankets, beds, ghee, honey and food to the cow in the cowshed.
  • In the morning, feed chapatis made from the fresh dough to the cow before eating anything. Also feed a black dog on this day.

Precautions On Magh Amavasya


  • The night of Amavasya is dark, and inauspicious activities, ghosts, paranormal spirits etc become highly active. That's why we should avoid going to deserted places or around cemeteries during the night of Amavasya. 
  • As per the beliefs, soul of the ancestors and dead people become active on this day. Therefore, hearing voices from behind and seeing an invisible black shadow can be a big demerit. In such a situation, keep the children in front of your eyes and do not let them go out alone.
  • After bathing early in the morning on Amavasya, offer water to Lord Sun, as it is considered inauspicious to sleep late on this day.
  • Do not disobey people coming to your home on this day, and avoid any fight within the home. 
  • Avoid cooking tamasic food on this day. It is believed that ghosts can enter the house due to the usage of tamasic ingredients such as garlic. Also, avoid drinking alcohol on this day.
  • The couple should avoid getting intimate on the day of Amavasya. It is believed that the child born on this day remains under the malefic light and suffers from hindered mental development in comparison to the normal child
  • Do not send children to any relative's home on this day.
