Panchang: Thursday, April 30, 2026
Kathmandu, Nepal | Shukla Paksha (Waxing Moon)
Namaskaram. ॐ Narasimhaya Namah.
This Thursday in the Kathmandu Valley marks the sacred Chaturdashi Tithi, the eve of Purnima. Today we celebrate Narasimha Jayanti—honoring Vishnu's fierce man-lion incarnation—and Chhinnamasta Jayanti. However, the cosmos demands extreme caution as Vidaal Yoga dominates the entire day, overriding typical auspiciousness.
📅 Astrological Data for Today
| Tithi | Chaturdashi (until 9:27 PM) then Purnima |
| Nakshatra | Chitra (until 2:31 AM Friday) |
| Yoga | Vajra (until 9:10 PM) then Siddhi |

⚠️ Critical Warnings
- Vidaal Yoga (All Day): Avoid all new beginnings, major purchases, or travel.

Chaturdashi: The Threshold of Ferocity
Marking the fourteenth lunar day, Chaturdashi is the peak of lunar intensity. Narasimha Jayanti commemorates the avatar who destroys what logic cannot touch—protecting Prahlad from the demon of ego. This eve demands kshura-dharana (the razor's edge of discernment). Note that Bhadra’s "poison" descends the moment Purnima begins at 9:27 PM.
Chitra Nakshatra: The Divine Architect
Governed by Tvashtar, Chitra represents shilpa-shakti—the power of divine craftsmanship. While normally excellent for design and art, today this energy is best utilized for Narasimha Kavacha (spiritual armor) rather than worldly construction, due to the overriding negative Yogas.
Spiritual Practices for Today
To navigate this fierce energy, observe these rituals:
- Narasimha Vigil: Fast from grains and recite the Narasimha Kavacha 108 times.
- Sesame Lamps: Light lamps facing West to invoke protection.
- Chhinnamasta Dhyana: Meditate on the Mahavidya to transcend duality and ego.
- Jupiter Puja: Perform Brihaspati-puja at midday with yellow cloth to mitigate the effects of Vidaal Yoga.
Shubham Bhavatu — May auspiciousness be yours.
