Shukla Paksha | Kathmandu, Nepal

Namaskaram,

ॐ Vardhamanaya Namah. This Sunday in the Kathmandu Valley brings the Dashami Tithi of Shukla Paksha, marking the sacred Mahavira Swami Kevalagyan. While the Sun (Raviwara) offers its natural sanctity, the heavens impose a period of deep restraint. Today is a journey from the "rootless" energy of Ganda Moola toward the infinite light of omniscience.

Dashami: The Tenth Step Toward Renunciation

Dashami marks the tenth lunar day, a time for dharma-samapti (fulfillment of duties) and settling obligations. Today is specifically dedicated to Mahavira’s Kevalagyan, representing the pinnacle of jnana (knowledge) attained after 12 years of intense tapas. It is a state of pure awareness, free from karmic binding.

Nakshatra Transition: From Ancestry to Creative Union

Until 8:42 PM, Magha ("the mighty") dominates. Governed by the Pitris (ancestral spirits), it carries the power of lineage and tarpana. However, because it is under the shadow of Ganda Moola, its energy is "rootless" and destructive for worldly ventures. After 8:42 PM, we transition into Purva Phalguni, governed by Bhaga, which favors rest and creative flowering, though caution is still advised.

Simple Practice for Today

Ahimsa: Practice strict non-violence in thought, word, and deed. Avoid even harming small insects.
Chanting: Recite "Om Namo Arihantanam" or "Om Vardhamanaya Namah" 108 times.
Svadhyaya: Engage in scriptural study to honor the attainment of infinite knowledge.
Ancestral Honor: Offer tarpana (water) to your ancestors during the Magha Nakshatra period.
