Ashadha Ashtahnika

Welcome to the onlinenakshatra Podcast! Today, we will be discussing the beginning of Ashadha Ashtahnika, an auspicious period in the Hindu calendar. As we enter this sacred time, let us delve into its significance and how we can make the most of it.

Ashadha Ashtahnika is a month-long period that falls in the Hindu lunar month of Ashadha. It is considered a highly auspicious time for spiritual and religious practices. This period is believed to bring blessings and abundance, and many people observe fasting and perform special rituals during this time.

According to Hindu mythology, it is believed that Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, goes into a deep slumber during this period. It is said that he rests on the serpent, Shesha, in the cosmic ocean of milk. This time is also known as Devshayani Ekadashi, which translates to "the day when the gods go to sleep.

During this period, devotees seek the blessings of Lord Vishnu by offering prayers, performing pujas, and reciting mantras. It is believed that these practices can bring peace, prosperity, and spiritual growth.

As we embark on this journey of Ashadha Ashtahnika, let us take this opportunity to reflect, renew, and rejuvenate our minds, bodies, and souls. May this sacred time bring joy, happiness, and fulfillment to all of us.
