Dhanurmasam: Why Auspicious Events Are Avoided? Unveiling the Ancient Secret
- •Dhanurmasam, dear to Srimahavishnu, begins with the sun entering Sagittarius and concludes on Sankranti.
- •Rituals performed during this month are believed to bestow immense benefits, exemplified by Godadevi's marriage.
- •"Shunya Masam" occurs when specific solar and lunar months, like Dhanurmasam and Pushya Masam, coincide.
- •During Shunya Masam, auspicious events like housewarmings, Upanayanam, and marriages are avoided due to lack of favorable timings.
- •The tradition is rooted in agricultural cycles, as farmers are busy harvesting crops before Sankranti, making it impractical for social events.
Why It Matters: Dhanurmasam is sacred for devotion, but auspicious events are avoided due to "Shunya Masam" and agricultural reasons.
