A few days in the past we started the month of Margashirsha moreover known as Margashirsha within the south. This is a month that runs roughly from December 15 to January 15, present or take a day or 2, counting on the lunar schedule. It is dedicated to a number of non secular strategies. In a technique, it is a illustration of nature. This is meant to be the peak wintertime time, although one may say that the South barely experiences any sort of wintertime.
That aside, nature is additional inactive, nonetheless actually pleasurable. There is a cool within the early mornings, and the grains are ripening within the areas at the moment. Not a lot job takes place in an agricultural tradition, so one invests the second in several methods.
Since in wintertime no matter is reducing, with the ability of plant, targeted within the origins and roots, nature seems to be going inside. Therefore, this seems to be a good time for non secular and non secular strategies, which’s particularly what’s carried out within the southerly part of the nation.
The relevance of this month can be highlighted within the Bhagavad Gita by Sri Krishna Himself, that claims “Among the months, I am Margashirsha.” So, this finally ends up being a time dedicated to additional excessive non secular strategies.
People rise sooner than regular, have a dip within the fish ponds, most definitely to the holy place, and do their sadhana. This is moreover roughly the second that accompanies the Makara, or the prayer of Ayyappa in Kerala, the place, as soon as once more, the method is de facto monk-like– the supporters are meant to reside a extremely ascetic, monk-like way of life.
So on the whole, it is a time of sadhana, non secular strategies, petition, reflection, and usually an excessive initiative in uplifting oneself mentally. This is what the month of Margashirsha consists of. Even within the Northern part of India, being an agricultural tradition, little or no takes place up till the harvest interval, which comes in a while. So, we maximize this improbable time in self-growth and non secular method.
