Gurunathar’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 09-12-2008
Let me answer a small question. “Why do we avoid performing auspicious functions (such as weddings) in the month of Margazhi (Dec15th to Jan 15th) ?. Another asked “Why is it called ‘Peedai’ month?
Dear one it is not an inauspicious month. It is a ‘Peedam’ month. God’s especially Mother Sakthi , are placed on a pedestal (Peedam) and worshiped. It is best if your attention during worship is not distracted by other worldly activities. If a man is told, ‘Do nothing but prayer’ he will not listen. So ‘peedam’ has become ‘peedai’ to make him avoid worldly activities. This is the sole explanation and intention. AS an example this period is called ‘mandalam kalam’, fasts and pilgrimages for Lord Ayyappa are undertaken. I ask you: can you call this inauspicious? So please do use this time for Godly activities.
