- Through out the year when sun passes through the each zodiac sign .

- Each of the 12 signs has its own importance in contributing the
necessary import to the solar ritual which is termed as CONDUCTION of
a year as a ritual.

- During each period when the sun passes through the each sign the
constellations corresponding to that signs in the cosmos will exert
influence upon the beings on the earth.

- During this kartikamasa the constellation pleaids will exerts its
influence through the sign scorpio- libra . these stars will be in the shape
of scirossors . The term karika is allegorized in scriptures as the 6
krittikas who are the 6 mothers who feed the son of lord shiva
karttikeya who again is 6 faced kumara.

- During this month the sun enters into the sign scorpio asper solar and
libra as per lunar either of which had same source of origin so these are
under the influence of these sacred 6 stars in the cosmos which would
generate a serene, sacred and pure environment on the earth which would give
the disciples a splendid opportunity to raise ones consciousness
indulged in the gross matter to the level of kumara pure untouched by any
other human nature.

- It is said that it establishes link between human and divine
consciousness.

· In this season only the consciousness is raised from the sacred base
center to the head centre where the kundalini as a serpent lying in scorpion
base centre is raised into the aries in the head centre as 6years boy where
the consciousness will be like a pure child nature and serene ,who plays
with the snake .he is venerated as lord of snakes called lord subramnya. .
Here child will be united with his parents in mount kailasa in our head
centre which is place of nirvana. .one who dwells in this centre will
always be kailasa. So sacred is this month it is for those who utilizes this
opportunity. so every year this season isa opportunity to raise oneself from
human to divine conciousness.

· In order to attain this level ancienct seers of wisdom have b given
certain rituals .Among such seers the great sage vasista who is the lord of
rites have given few methods of practice, which are the corresponding
workings that occurs in us as changes in our life.

· These techniques would transform ones natures with ease and joy.

The 5 sacred modes of practice :

1 THE SACRED BATHING.*

· In this season one should take bath 3 times,in a day .

· water is only solvent which can wash not only all kind of physical
impurities but also mental impurities and can cleanse the astral and
emotional currents.

· .Treating water as god or as a form of a energy (energy hidden in
the atomic constituents) if we take bath it bath by chanting those sacred
hyms related to the creative intelligences in water called as lord varuna
it would refresh all the atomic substance of the body. and mind .

· Also it would benefits us in terms of both spiritual and mundane
plane in many ways. It is the presence of that consciousness which makes the
water as the universal solvent. , causing satiation when we drink.

· These sacred waters are offered to lord shiva as offering in
abisheka . Treating our body as a form of maha shiva linga if waters are
offered to our body as sacred bath which might clean the past karma.. in
spirituality also frequent baths are prescribed in order to cleanse all the
mental and astral impurities.

· Especially in this month all the waters are charged with the special
electro magnetic currents*. wise are those extract benefit from taking
frequent baths. *

· 2. THE HOLY LIGHTINING;*

· After sacred bath one should lit the holy lamps in the house and
around the house. Also in shiva and vishnavas temples durind sunrise and
sunset.

· Lamps should be lit with the ghee made from the cows milk. It is
said due to this all the evil we have done from past either knowingly or
unknowingly will be expelled and it lits the lamp of knowledge expels the
darkness of ignorance.

· These lightening of lamps brings prosperity, wealth health and
vitality into our lives. It ignites the fire of divinity hidden in our heart
and burns all the materialist attractions which bind us to the wheel of
birth and death.

· This light transmutates ones nature into the divine realms and
changes our vision of the world as sons of light .

· 3. WORSHIP OF THE MOST HOLY PLANT;


· AFTER LIGHTINING the holy lamps one should worship the holy plant
TULASI. Tulasi is a herb it is considered in the scriptures as the most
loving plant for both lord shiva and lord Vishnu.

· The very presence of it dispels all the evil in the house and in us
with sacred air that flows through it. In the atmosphere all the toxic
chemical bacterial agents are neutralized with the air of tulasi ..the plant
is so pure the very presences of it makes us and the atmosphere serene and
holy .

· tulasi worship is mostly recommended for the ladies to have
soubagya says the scriputures.one who worship tulasi in their house it
creates a healthy environment in the house by preventing all the disease
causing reagents in the atmosphere .

· This plant is advised by the doctors for curing asthma and many
other lung diseases. Lightening candle or deepa near tulasi gives
prosperity and opens the door of salvation. WATERING tulasi is a very
skillful process , if more amount of water or less amount of water is
poured , the plant may die so adequate amount of water needed to be poured
in order for its survival . *this teaches oneself how to behave one self with
others with in right proporinate feelings and with balance of emotions.
More information can be obtained in soubagya tulasi , of mihira)*

4.WORSHIP OF LORD DAMODARA ;

· ONE SHOULD WORSHIP THE LORD VISHNU IN SAIVA TEMPLE AND SIVA IN THE
VISHNU TEMPLE,AS LORD VISHNU, PRAYS LORD SIVA AND SIVA PRAYS LORD VISHNU,
just like one image assuming two two forms. They reflect one anothers hearts

· .They are like the consciousness of self existence and the
consciousness of the world around. They are like circle and the point which
are inseparable, when there is a circle there is centre unless there is a
centre there is no circle . centre of self existence is called lord shiva
and the circumferrance of other existences is called lord Vishnu thus one
who worships the both as one attains the highest state of nirvana that is
observing the every form in the world as your own image. This is thought as
the highest secret in spiritual sadhana where your not reflected by any
actions of others as they do not exist you.

· 5. Monday rituals.

· Monday is considered as the a favorite day of lord shiva .Monday is
ruled by the planet moon which in turn governs the mind of humans. He is
wise one who tunes himself into higher hemispheres in tune with the flow of
currents in the cosmos.

asThe moon links the matter with the spirit so on Mondays one who
performs pradosha varthra and meditates on lord shiva can not only glimpse
the supreme spirit but can also attain the highest point of knowledge as a
siddhi.This can be compared as the internet link. In which manner pc
(personal concisousness) is linked to the cc (Cosmic Concisousness)and
viewed, similarly we get attuned with the cosmic consciousness and perform
our regular works with it. Then our plan will be an epitome of the divine
plan.


· As how the world of internet cannot be seen physically but only
be viewed through ones individual computers so is the cosmic consciousnesses
can be perceived through ones own instrument called mind . so on Mondays
our mind gets tuned.


· BY performing the Monday rituals our individual consciousness gets
tuned into the higher realms. . In scriptures it is said that one who fasts
on Mondays until evening feed a Brahmin and takes the food after seeing the
star will receive the full grace of lord shiva .monday fasting also helps
oneself to gain mastery over ones mind ,and can transcend all the moods and
pervasions of the mind be the master of his mind so lord shiva with a moon
beam on his head signifies that he controls the movements of the moon, so
he is named as lord Chandra shekara.


In shiva purana much significance of these WITH ILLUSTRATIONS ARE GIVEN
.MAY THE LORD SHIVA BLESSINGS BE WITH ALL THOSE WHO READ AND PRATICE THESE
INJUNCTIONS .
