A couple of days ago we began the month of Margashirsha additionally referred to as Margashirsha in the south. This is a month that runs approximately from December 15 to January 15, provide or take a day or 2, relying on the lunar schedule. It is devoted to several spiritual methods. In a method, this is a representation of nature. This is intended to be the height wintertime time, though one might say that the South barely experiences any type of wintertime.
That apart, nature is extra inactive, however really enjoyable. There is a cool in the early mornings, and the grains are ripening in the areas currently. Not much job takes place in an agricultural culture, so one invests the moment in different ways.
Since in wintertime whatever is decreasing, with the power of plant, focused in the origins and roots, nature appears to be going within. Therefore, this appears to be a great time for spiritual and spiritual methods, which’s specifically what is carried out in the southerly component of the nation.
The relevance of this month is also highlighted in the Bhagavad Gita by Sri Krishna Himself, that claims “Among the months, I am Margashirsha.” So, this ends up being a time devoted to extra extreme spiritual methods.
People rise earlier than normal, have a dip in the fish ponds, most likely to the holy place, and do their sadhana. This is additionally approximately the moment that accompanies the Makara, or the prayer of Ayyappa in Kerala, where, once again, the technique is really monk-like– the supporters are intended to live a really ascetic, monk-like way of living.
So in general, this is a time of sadhana, spiritual techniques, petition, reflection, and normally an extreme initiative in uplifting oneself mentally. This is what the month of Margashirsha includes. Even in the Northern component of India, being an agricultural culture, very little takes place up until the harvest period, which comes later on. So, we maximize this fantastic time in self-growth and spiritual technique.
