Kharmas

Kharmas is considered to be an inauspicious period as per the Hindu Saka calendar followed in North India. No auspicious events are held during the period. Kharmas is given importance in Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and in parts of eastern Uttar Pradesh. In 2012, Kharmas begins on December 16 and ends on January 14, 2013.

In some regions, Kharmas is also known as Mal-Mas.

Kharmas is not followed by all calendars. All auspicious events like marriage, house warming etc are avoided during the period.

It must be noted that calendars followed in Western parts of India, Eastern parts of India and South do not observe Kharmas.

There is absolutely nothing to worry about Kharmas in this case.

If you are still worried offer prayers to Ganesha daily. He will remove all troubles.

Well Becuase of Idiot who proclaimed to be pundits and gurus is the reason why hindus created boarder. There is one God either say Ram, Allah, Jesus, Shiv whatsoever.

We have to pray to God and not be confused what is wrong and right. Please goodle Swami Adgadhanand Maharaj Ji, read his Geeta and listen to his online parvachan and download same and books. You will know the truth.
