    Tithis & Nakshatra Lords: Bhavishya Puarana

    By Shubhangi Naik, India (Submitted in March 2008)

    strology is a Shastra & while learning a Shastra a true learner reads and remembers the subject as per textual references so that when he wishes to refer back to it or pass on that knowledge to others he does so with textual

    reference. Apart from this, in order to avoid personal injunctions and personal theories to creep into astrology one needs to stick to the classics & authorities. It is generally observed in the net world that we students of astrology & even modern day scholars are not aware of the rich knowledge the Puranas have in terms of astrological knowledge and it is for these readers we have from the start brought out the astrological & remedial scriptural knowledge contained in the Puranas often ignored. Some modern day astrologers pass this as parampara or secret knowledge but all this is available in texts if one searches for it. Below are specific remedies the village astrologers in India have used from time immemorial knowing its true significance whereas the city breed astrologers ignore it due to lack of parampara. Until now, this has not been revealed in the net world hence it is deemed fit that it occupies space in the E Mag Saptarishis Astrology Magazine for the benefit of all.

    Bhavishya Purana Chapter 102 Sumantu Muni (Sages are also addressed as Muni) said: O King! Lord Surya (the Sun God) likes all the tithis but Saptami (the 7 th day of the lunar month) is its favorite.

    Shatanik inquired: When lord Surya like all the tithis then why charities, Yagnas done on the Saptami are specifically significant.

    Sumantu Muni said: O King! In the past, Lord Vishnu has inquired on this subject to Lord Brahma, which I now recite to you in the same way as said by Lord Brahma. Please listen..

    Lord Brahma Said: O Vishnu! At the time of division of constellations, Pratipada (1 st day of the lunar month) and other tithis were given to Agni (Fire God) and other Gods respectively and Saptami was given to the Sun God. Whoever was

    given the tithis became the lords of the respective tithis. Therefore, when such lords are worshiped on their day with mantras they give desired results.

    The Sun God distributed the Tithis in the following manner.

    Pratipada (1 st day of the lunar month) to Agni (the Fire God) Dwithiya (2 nd day of the lunar month) to Brahma (the Creator) Tritiya (3 rd day of the lunar month) to Kuber (the God of Wealth) Chaturthi (4 th day of the lunar month) to Ganesha Panchami (5 th day of the lunar month) to Nagaraj (King of the Snakes) Shashti (6 th day of the lunar month) to Kartikeya (the warrior god, also brother of lord Ganesha) Saptami (7 th day of the lunar month) for Self (Sun God) Ashtami (8 th day of the lunar month) to Rudra (Lord Shiva) Navami (9 th day of the lunar month) to Durga (Universal Mother) Dashami (10 th day of the lunar month) to his own son, Yama Ekadashi (11 th day of the lunar month) to Vishwadev (lord of the world) Dwadashi (12 th day of the lunar month) to Vishnu Trayodashi (13 th day of the lunar month) to Kamadev Chaturdashi (14 th day of the lunar month) to Shiva Poornima (15 th day of the lunar month, full moon) to Moon; And to the Spirits, the pure and pious Amavasya (15 th day of the lunar month, new moon).

    The 15 th tithis are of Moon. In Krishna Paksha (Waning Moon), the Gods immerse themselves in these tithis and they rise again in the Waxing phase from the 16 th

    day onward. However, there is a phase called shodash (16th) which is never destroyed. The Sun God stays in that phase. This way the enlarging and diminishing of the tithis are managed by Sun god itself, so the Sun God is the lord of all the tithis.

    Now I tell you in brief how other gods fulfill the wishes of their worshipers.

    Fulfillment of Wishes

    Worshiping Fire god on Pratipada followed by Havan (The ritual consisting of prayers, chanting, offerings, etc.) gives unlimited grains and wealth.
