Daily Panchang
Wednesday, April 22, 2026 | Shukla Paksha
Location: Kathmandu, Nepal
Namaskaram,
ॐ Vande Ramanujaryam. This Wednesday in the Kathmandu Valley brings a profound celestial paradox: Shashthi Tithi of Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) coincides with Ravi Yoga—yet simultaneously Vidaal Yoga (separative energy) extends until late night. As Ardra Nakshatra carries Rudra's storm-force, we honor the birth of Ramanuja Jayanti and the commencement of Skanda Sashti.

Shashthi: The Sixth Day of Divine Warfare
Shashthi marks the lunar day when Skanda Sashti begins—commemorating Murugan's six-day battle against Surapadma. Until 11:04 PM, this Tithi supports upavasa (fasting) and Kanda Shasti Kavasam recitation. Shashthi represents the shad-ripu (six enemies of the mind): desire, anger, greed, delusion, pride, and envy. Use this energy to let the spear of wisdom pierce internal obstacles.
Ardra Nakshatra: The Storm of Transformation
Governed by Rudra (the howling storm), Ardra's pralaya-shakti destroys to purify. It is a day for emotional release and healing through crisis. After 10:28 PM, Punarvasu begins, offering "the return of the light" and renewal after the storm.
Simple Practice for Devotion Over Action
Honor Ramanuja through Sri Bhashya study or the Dvaya Mantra: "Om Namo Narayanaya." Recognising the soul's eternal connection to the divine is the essence of Vishishtadvaita. Commence Skanda Sashti fasting at sunrise and perform Pradosh puja at sunset—a sacred evening for Shiva and Murugan.
Avoid new beginnings—let Ravi Yoga power your japa and dhyana, not your ambitions.
