Why Mahalaya Amavasai on Puratasi Month?

When I heard that this month, we have Mahalaya Amavasi, then immediately I got this question, why on this month(Puratasi)?

By the way, let me quickly explain what is Mahalaya Amavasai. In general, Amavasai is known to be good day to worship pithrus. Mahalaya Amavasai, means, its a general day, whether we have details of our ancestor people or not, we can conduct, pooja, & worship for our ancestor people's wish fulfilment, and also seek blessings from them. This is the day permitted for all Pithrus, to visit their families. During their visit, if we invite, and honour them, as they were treated, with same love & care, then, they would be glad. This glad, would change as blessing to us and our family.

Astrologically, Amavasai means, SUN & MOON are together in one Raasi. This is the most ideal combination, for praying. SUN - Atma, MOON - Body, both are together means, praying, when Atma & Body are together, then, it would fulfil the objective.

Why should we do?

Before our birth, our life would be keen in looking forward, to take shape into a body. At that moment, with Pithrus permission only, the life is inserted into body. Pithrus, do this, with an expectation that we do the needful, so that they can be elevated and promoted to next level. But after taking birth, if we do not recall and remember our pithrus, its equivalent, to NOT honouring the promise or commitment or expectation, set by the pithrus.

What would happen if we do not worship pithrus?

Lets understand how our prayer protocol works. Whenever we pray to god for any needs, then, their should be someone, who could voice our concerns to Almighty, for the support, reasoning and justification(Even within our world and our area of influence, to realize to happen something, do not we need to fulfil so many people). Pithrus, is the person, who would provide their support for us to god, to realize our prayers. In case if we do not worship our pithrus, either knowingly or unknowingly, believe me, we may loose our own support system(then who can voice our concerns to almighty?). This would eventually, seen in people, those who are stuck-up in their progressions. Their are many instances, For an example, (a)where some people promotions pending for years, even though all eligible conditions would be fulfilled, but the inferior people would progress, in front of their eyes. (b)There could be sudden drop in business. (c)There could be sudden misunderstanding with work partners, relatives, friends and many more. (d)Their could be problems in child births, even though, physically all of them would be OK. There can be many more. I just do not want to threaten the readers.

How to please pithrus?

Based on their financial capability, spend quality minutes, either self or through any priest to conduct pooja. In case if you cannot do anything, never mind. Please sit calmly, mediate for few minutes, thinking of our ancestors, and just put few drops of water on the floor, as offering to Pithrus. I am very sure, they would be very glad. But it should be done with real love & care, and also, it should support your real financial situation. Please avoid by giving money to someone to do pooja, on your name. You need to show and dedicate your own quality time.

Lets jump back to our topic.

Astrologically, 8th bhava is known to be Pithrus Bhavam. Reference to Kaala Purusha philosophy, 8th house is Pithrus, then, Vrichika Month should have been month for Mahalya Amavasai, then, why are we having on Kanni Month(Puratasi)?

Kanni is the 11th Bhavam from Vrichika. To win over Vrichika Bhava aspects, the correct timing is to work it on 11th Bhava time. On that reference, Puratasi month, if we could worship on our ancestor, in the name of Mahalaya Amavasi, then, we can win over our Pithrus expectations and get their blessings.
