Lal said...

@Shree...nope it won't affect your baby. Just because it is a period we remember our ancestors does not mean it is bad. Do not get tensed over this silly matter. All such believes are superstitions and is not supported by Hindu scriptures.

Then what do u suggest for Dwipushkar Yog on October 6, 2012 ?

Lal said...

@exams...offer prayers to Ganesha and go for your exams. You cannot fix time for exams etc
@Anju...November 28 is a good date
@name of daughter...i cannot help you in this regard as i do not practice numerology.
@Kokila...this is not a good period for auspicious function. But October 11 is generally a good date.
@Pune...Dwipushkar is good for investment. But usually shradh period is avoided for investments.
