Nāgadeva (Sarpa Devatā)
Nāgadevas guard the subterranean treasures of wisdom, patronize the awakening of sacred kuṇḍalinī life-force, and grant vitality.
ॐ नवकुलाय विद्यमहे विषदन्ताय धीमहि तन्नो सर्पः प्रचोदयात्
oṁ sarpāya namaḥBhagavān Sadāśiva
Monday is ruled by the Moon, governing emotional equilibrium, memory, contemplation, and peaceful devotion to Lord Śiva.
ॐ नमः शिवाय
oṁ namaḥ śivāyaMakara Saṅkrānti
The Sun enters Makara
Monday, 15 January 2024
The Sun crosses at 2:43 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.
