[vedic astrology] Re: Amavasya on Saturday - Please adviseý

 

Dear Members:

 

What Shri. Karunaakaram Raaghavam has written is pertinent.

Amavasya vrattam is done to propitiate Pitrus. The importance of

Aswatta Pradakshina on Saturday has also been clearly explained by

him as per ancient Granthas. One more thing I would like to mention

in this regard; One can touch and perform pooja to Aswatta tree ONLY

on Sani Amavasya days. On other days, we should not touch the

tree. We can do Pradakshina but we should not touch the tree. Only

on Sani Amavasya we can touch it and do the pooja. This definitely

bestows of the Thrimurthis to a performer of such a pooja.

 

This is the only authentic thing about this sani amavasya. Let us

not build up false beliefs associating this with Sani preeti, remedy

for Saturn dosha, remedy for Amaavasya dosha, etc. The Sani

Amavasya Vrattam is good for everyone regardless of the natal

horoscope and we should take it as such. This is based on Dharma

Shastraic injunctions - a Naimittika vrattam done to improve general

prosperity and for betterment of the family in general. Shri

Karunaakaram Raghavam has given a good guidance for all members

regarding this.

 

Blessed be.

Pandit R.DAKSHINAMOORTHI.

gets more importance in the sense to satisfy Pitur runaa.On Sani

Amavasya day early in the morning " Asvadh " (Bodhi tree) pradhashanam

is recommended .The trunk of the `Bodhi'tree to be symbolically

construed as deities " Lakshmi Narayana " , poojas are performed end

with pradhashana namaskaaraas.These were done to appease pitru for

sound health, putra soukya and for good boogha-bhagya.
