Ahoi Ashtami 2019 Puja Muhurat & Aarti

Observing the Ahoi Ashtami Fast offers longevity to children. Know the fasting rituals and points to keep in mind when performing them.

Ahoi Ashtami is observed four days after Karwa Chauth on the Ashtami during Krishna Paksha in the month of Kartik. Devotees worship Goddess Ahoi on this day, and as this fast falls on the Ashtami, hence it is called as Ahoi Ashtami. It is believed that if the divine Goddess is venerated by married women with full devotion on this auspicious day, their children attain longevity, intellect and prosperity in life. Devotees who are fasting must open their fast after the Moonrise. Married women also observe this fast to get blessed with a child. In the year 2019, Ahoi Ashtami Vrat will be observed tomorrow, i.e. on Monday, 21 October.

Ahoi Ashtami Fast & Puja Rituals 

• Wake up early before sunrise.
• Clean the altar properly.
• Sprinkle the Gangajal all around the house and clean thoroughly.
• Then pledge to observe the Ahoi Ashtami Fast with a devoted heart.
• Place the idol or picture of Maa Ahoi on the altar, and place Singhada, Radish and a bowl of Rice in front of it. 
• Sit together with your family members and recite the Ahoi Mata Vrat Katha diligently.

During the morning puja, fill an urn with water and place a Karwa on top of it. The same Karwa which was used on Karwa Chauth must be used here as well. As per the traditions, the idol of Mata Ahoi is carved in silver and worshipped. Ahoi is also known as Syahu and Saahi. 

Things To Keep In Mind On Ahoi Ashtami

• Fasting on Ahoi Ashtami is observed to get blessed with kids or for their longevity. Therefore, one who fasts on this day must avoid killing animals or consuming meat. 
• You must not also dig the soil as there are small creatures like pests, insects, ants etc., and you can unknowingly kill any living creature.
• Also, avoid consuming Tamasic food or meat one day before fasting for Ahoi Ashtami. As one cannot consume water on this day, hence it is also called as a Nirjala Vrat or Fasting without Water. 
• Avoid fighting or getting into a dispute with anyone.
• Do not scold young kids in your family. 
• Use a silver or brass urn to offer Arghya to the stars on the night of Ahoi Ashtami. Avoid using copper urn.

Mythological Legend Behind Ahoi Ashtami

Let’s read in detail the popular legend associated with this festival. A long time back, a moneylender and his wife had seven sons. Few days before Diwali in the month of Kartik, the wife thought of renovating the house, and went to the forest to dig up some soil. While digging with a spade, a young porcupine got accidentally killed by the wife, and cursed her to face a similar fate. As a result, all her kids died within a year, leaving her devastated.

Unable to tolerate the pain, both husband and wife went to the final pilgrimage on foot, and walked until they were unconscious. At this moment, a celestial announcement was made, in which the couple was told to go back, serve the cow and worship Goddess Ahoi. After hearing such words, they came back, and on the eighth day during the month of Kartik, the wife drew a porcupine and her kids on the wall, and performed the Ahoi Ashtami fast with devotion. This appeased the Goddess, who eliminated her sin and blessed her with fertility.

Sun Transit In Libra, These 5 Signs Must Remain Prepared!

With the Sun transiting in Libra, these five signs must remain alert! Read about the planetary transit of Sun in Libra on 18 October and its effects.

What will happen in 2023 astrology

Planet Sun in Astrology

The Sun represents energy, light, and passion, and is considered the best among all Navagrahas. It leads the nine planets and emits life and light. If it is strongly posited in one’s kundli, then it makes the native royal, filled with regal skills. It also develops leadership and administrative qualities within the individual. Natives under the positive influence of the Sun are idolized, and respected by society. In Vedic Astrology, Sun rules the Leo sign. Therefore, its effect is clearly visible on the Leo natives.

The Sun stays in a zodiac sign for a month, i.e. it moves from one sign to another in one month. Aries is its exalted sign, whereas it debilitates in the Libra sign. This means that the planet Sun will enter its debilitated sign Libra during this transit, and hence, become weak.

State Legislative Assembly Elections 2019: Maharashtra And Haryana

Surveying The Maharashtra And Haryana Assembly Elections 2019

The assembly elections in two states of India, Haryana and Maharashtra, have commenced from October 2019. According to the details released by the Election Commission, the people of Maharashtra and Haryana will vote for the 14th State Legislative Assembly on 21 October. The counting of votes will take place 3 days later, i.e., 24 October 2019. Come evening, everyone will know clearly which political party will come into power in these states and who will have to face defeat. 

According to Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora, the term of the 288-member Maharashtra assembly ends on 9 November, while that of the 90-member Haryana assembly will come to an end on 2 November. Therefore, the elections in both the states will be held on time.

हिंदी में पढ़ने के लिए यहां क्लिक करें

In the 2014 Maharashtra Assembly elections, Congress suffered defeat and the Bharatiya Janata Party came to power with its ally Shiv Sena. As a result, Mr Devendra Fadnavis of the Bharatiya Janata Party became the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. This year, Congress has tied up with the Nationalist Congress Party or NCP, led by Sharad Pawar. However, it is worth noting that the ED has its eyes set on Sharad Pawar and the noose seems to be tightening as the day passes. 

Coming to Haryana, Bharatiya Janata Party had formed the government last time there as well and did its best in demarcating Congress and the Omprakash Chautala-led-INLD. Presently, Mr Manohar Lal Khattar of BJP is the Chief Minister of Haryana. The Akali Dal of Mr Parkash Singh Badal that supported BJP in the Punjab elections, has decided to contest on its own this time.

This time the Bharatiya Janata Party is ready as a strong contender in the Vidhan Sabha elections and the opposition seems to be divided into different camps. Even Aam Aadmi Party, led by Arvind Kejriwal has also mentioned about being a part of these elections. 

In such a scenario, the contest will be enthralling because on the one hand, BJP's credibility is at stake and it will try to grab all the seats. On the other is the question that will the divided opposition be able to pose a challenge to BJP by becoming united.

Keeping all these things in mind, we are attempting to find out which party will wear the crown of success in the upcoming assembly elections, and who will have to face defeat. We have taken the help of Vedic astrology to come to a conclusion, and based on the planetary movements and nakshatra, we have uncovered some interesting things, which we are discussing below.

Planetary Transits This October

Venus will make its transit through the zodiac sign Libra on 4 October, which is its own sign. The Sun will also enter the same sign, i.e., Libra on 18 October. Simultaneously, Mercury will remain posited in this sign from the beginning of the month, and will then move on to Scorpio on 23 October. Soon afterwards, Venus will also enter Scorpio on 28 October. 

Let us now use Vedic Astrology to analyze the kundalis of the main parties, BJP and Congress, and take a look at the influence of the planets on them:

At the time of assembly elections 2019 in Maharashtra and Haryana, when they are being held and counted, in the kundali of BJP the major period of Moon and sub-period of Rahu will prevail. Moon is in the Jyeshta nakshatra which is a Gandmool nakshatra. However, the Lord of the Ascendant is Mercury that is posited in the ninth house forming a Raj Yoga, and the Moon is posited in the nakshatra of that very planet Mercury, the Lord of the fourth house and the Ascendant. Rahu is posited in the Magha nakshatra, over which Ketu has lordship, and is forming the Raj Yoga once again, while posited in the ninth house. On the other hand, Rahu is getting influenced while posited with Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter. 

In such a situation, it can be said that this election can help BJP achieve success and come into power. Yet, while its ally Shiv Sena will support BJP openly on one hand; on the other, it can also keep certain demands in front of the latter which may cause some problems for BJP. Saturn transiting in the second house from the moon sign and Jupiter already posited there are creating conditions that indicate a return to power for the party, however, they still need to be cautious in certain situations. BJP, with the help of its allies may return to power, yet, there can be a drop in its vote percentage, and they may even lose some seats as compared to previous elections.

• The conjunction of Rahu and Moon is in the seventh house.

Planetary Positions During Elections 2019

• Jupiter will transit from the third house from the natal moon sign, and will move towards the fourth house. 
• Rahu will transit to the tenth house from the natal Moon, over the natal Jupiter.
• Mars will be posited in the natal Moon sign and will exhibit its influence.

Congress’s Performance & Status in The State Legislative Assembly Elections 2019

During the Maharashtra and Haryana assembly elections, the Congress party will be going through the Major period of Jupiter, sub-period of Saturn, and sub-sub-period of Venus. Jupiter, lord of the ascendant and tenth house in the kundli, occupies the fourth house and is completely aspecting the tenth house. Simultaneously, Saturn the lord of the eleventh and twelfth houses, is posited in the sixth house; while Venus, the lord of the third and eighth houses, is occupying in the tenth house. Jupiter is in the nakshatra of Mars, which is the lord of the ninth house in the kundali and is posited in its exalted sign, in the fifth house.

On the other hand, Saturn is in the nakshatra of Ketu which is in the ascendant, while a combust Venus is posited in the nakshatra of Ketu as well. Due to the transit of Saturn in the fourth house from the natal sign, there is a possibility that Congress may reap some benefits of its manipulation policy. However, its chances of success in forming a government are unlikely. There may be some discord in the party, and some Congress leaders may even join another party. The way the Congress has tried to align with Sharad Pawar's NCP, they may benefit from it in certain ways, yet it seems more unlikely that they will come into power.

Kundali Analysis For The State Legislative Assembly Elections 2019

In the kundali of Mr Devendra Fadnavis, during the assembly elections and when the result will be announced, the major period of Mercury, sub-period of Saturn, and sub-sub-period of Saturn will prevail. In his birth chart, Saturn is the lord of the seventh and eighth house, and is posited in the tenth house; while Mercury is the lord of the third and twelfth house, and is occupying the ascendant. The transits of Saturn and Jupiter from the natal moon sign, Aquarius are forming situations that are in his favor.

Devendra Fadnavis will have to make several efforts on a personal level and at the same time will have to make efforts so that his plans and schemes reach the public, effectively. Based on the planetary positions in his birth chart, it can be concluded that the upcoming times will be in his favor and he may be successful in continuing being in power. However, some problems will continue with the allies. In the coming time, when Saturn will transit in January, Shani Sadesati will begin for him. The Sadesati will bring him mental stress as well as some opponents, who may be associated with his allied parties. 

Manohar Lal Khattar: Short Analysis of Name Kundli 

Due to a lack of comprehensive birth details, we cannot discuss the birth chart of the present Chief Minister of Haryana, Manohar Lal Khattar. However, according to his name, the birth chart of zodiac sign Leo forms, where Saturn is transiting in the fifth house and Jupiter in the fourth house. It seems that a lot of people dislike him as Chief Minister, yet he will definitely get the benefit of having BJP in power in the Central Government and the state being close to the Central Government. Thus, there are good chances of him returning to power.

Conclusion

In addition to the aforementioned individuals and parties, we took a look at the other parties including the Aam Aadmi Party, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, and some other major parties and contenders. From all this data, it can be concluded that the present ruling party of Maharashtra and Haryana, the Bharatiya Janata Party may benefit from the fact that the opposition is not united and they may return to power. Despite that, they are still likely to lose some seats and there are also indications that they can come up short on some traditional seats as well. 

Chances are, there will be a decline in the vote percentage for BJP, however, in HAryana specially the impact of BJP in the Central Government will be apparent. Moreover, keeping their recent policies concerning Pakistan in mind it can easily be said that the Bharatiya Janata Party may return to power, yet lose some seats. As a matter of fact, the ruling party will face defeat in some seat quite unexpectedly. 

On the contrary, Sharad Pawar's difficulties may only increase further, and the Congress will also suffer due to its weak strategies.
