Features of Paush month
rules of paush month
Pausha, the 10th month of the Hindu calendar, has started from today. This month is considered important from religious and astrological point of view, because during this time Kharmas occurs and Sun God enters Sagittarius. It is necessary to follow some special rules this month, otherwise the Gods and Goddesses may get angry.
Do not do this work in the month of Pausha
Due to Kharmas, doing auspicious works is considered prohibited in this month. According to astrology, doing auspicious work during this period does not yield good results. Functions like marriage, engagement, house warming, Mundan Sanskar, Janeu Sanskar, and starting of new business should be avoided.
Do not consume tamasic food. In religious texts, the month of Pausha has been described as a month of penance and virtuousness, hence it is necessary to pay attention to food and drink.
Do not consume meat and alcohol
This month one should stay away from meat, alcohol and any kind of intoxication. Also avoid Tamasic foods like garlic and onion. This disturbs the mind and hinders worship. During this period, do not consume radish, brinjal, urad dal, cauliflower, lentils, fried dishes and excessive sugar.
importance of food donation
Worship of Sun God has special significance in the month of Paush. Donating food this month is considered very auspicious. Donate food grains, rice and wheat to the needy.
avoid harsh words
This month one should control his speech. Insulting someone or speaking harsh words is considered a great sin. By doing this, one may have to face the wrath of Sun God, which can have a negative impact on one’s reputation and health.
