@Shubhesh, i am not an astrologer so i won't be able to give a correct answer to your query.
Thanks
Dear friend,
please try to understand that it is "new moon" day and not at all "no moon" day.
when is amavasya in july 2009 i want exact date like 22 night to 23 morning or 21 night to 22 morning
It began on 21 and ends on 22. Please note that there will be time difference depending on the region.
When does Amavasya Start on the 17th of October and what is the most auspicious time to perform the Laxmi Puja
when performing the monthly Tithi, (puja for the departed) on days of the amavyasa that begins on a date eg.17-oct-2009 and overlaps into the next day 18-oct-2009.. what is the standard and correct practice observed on when to perform the puja's.
The usual process is to take the majority period. If the majority time of Amavas is on 17-Oct then it is taken for puja etc.
hello,
when you say amavas on nov 16 you mean 15th night to 16th morning or 16th night to 17th morning?
Srikumar/Astrologer finds it very useful for those who are interested in the Hindu way of life.
Hope the Amavasi is taken for night as is prevelent in most part of India.
What precautions should " A Pregnant Lady " take
on Surya-Grahan. Pl. Reply urgently, Thanks.
There is no need for any precaution for the June 1 grahan as it is not visible in India.
what pooja to be performed on June 1st Amavasya ?
There are no pujas for Amavasi. Shradh is observed for the dead. The June 1 Amavasi is observed as Vat Savitiri in North India. Here women perform various rituals. A similar ritual is observed in Orissa too.
Plz. tell me when is the bhaumavati amavasya with satabhisa nakshatra in 2011 or 2012?
There is no bhaumavati amavasya till March 2012
Some of the Hindu communities in amavaya time only take a single meal on the day. Could you explain what all are the advantage on that.
My husband and i want to buy a truck this week which according to Amavasya is a bad time to do so.
