No. Shukla Pakshe is the bright fortnight. It starts with the first
day after the New Moon and runs for 15 days to Purnima (the Full
Moon). This is the waxing of the moon, the moon is getting bigger.
The Krishna Pakshe is the dark fortnight. It starts with the first
day after Purnima and runs for 15 days to Amavasya, the new moon.
This is the waning of the moon, the moon is getting smaller.

is this correct?
Shukla pakshe - starts from ponam (full moon) and
krishna pakshe - starts from bij ( new moon )

I've had many intense dreams so far. None of Shree Maa and Swamiji;
but a dream of my old yoga teachers.
I'm interested to find out why people chant this massive text; from
my own experience.
I'd like to get some help slaying negative thoughts.
And I could use some 'armor!'

ps: anyone know if it's still sukla? Is it waxing or waning and
what's the waning term?
