Deities of the Day
Wednesday, 11 January 1764 · Conjunction of Moon Consciousness & Sun Action
Bhagavān Rudra / Mātā Durgā
Rudra and Durgā dissolve negative impressions, bestow transformative spiritual courage, and shield against adversity.
ॐ नमः शिवाय · ॐ दुं दुर्गायै नमः
oṁ namaḥ śivāya · oṁ duṁ durgāyai namaḥLord Śr ī Kṛṣṇa
Wednesday is ruled by Mercury, patronizing eloquent speech, sharp intellect, analytical clarity, and divine wisdom of the Bhagavad Gītā.
ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय नमः
oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya namaḥMakara Saṅkrānti
The Sun enters Makara
Wednesday, 11 January 1764
The Sun crosses at 10:44 AM, your local time
The Sun reaches its southern limit and turns north: Uttarāyaṇa begins, the most auspicious turn of the year. Kept as Makara Saṅkrānti across the north, Pongal in Tamil Nadu, Lohri in the Punjab, Magh Bihu in Assam, Uttarāyaṇ in Gujarat, the great harvest festival. In the Mahābhārata, Bhīṣma held back his death on the arrow-bed to leave his body once Uttarāyaṇa had come.
What is done, A pre-dawn bath (the Gaṅgā-snāna and the Kumbha bathing are timed to it), sesame-and-jaggery (til-gud) shared with the words "speak sweetly," charity, and the harvest feast, Pongal cooked till it boils over, for plenty.
