Dharma Sastharam

Except Garuda puraanam no other puranam says like this .In all other three yugas they can remarry and live happily; Only in kali yuga we can live only for hundred years; in other yugas you can live for 1000; 10000; 100000; years;It is the chance for the two legged animals to attain paramaatma by doing yoga praanayama and meditation from this jeevathma and also do it with sincerity with purity of mind; Pancha kacham differentiates from married man and un married man; madisar saree differentiates from married woman and un married woman; white saree differntiate from sumangali and amangali; on those days now a days all are wearing salwar cummies midis and we cannot differentiate them. Dharma sastrams says desam kaalam anusarithu oorudan koodi waall enru solkirathu.

Ashtami, Navami-- Why Inauspicious ?

Ashtami, Navami-- Why Inauspicious ?
Lord Krishna


Lord Krishna the 8th incarnation of lord Maha Vishnu was born on Ashtami Thithi in prison in Mathura. He had to suffer alot to establish himself.

Lord Rama


Lord Rama the 9th incarnation of Lord Mahavishnu was born on Navami Thithi at Ayodhya.Though he was very much loved by his father King Dasaratha, he had to spend 14 years in forest with his family. There he met innumerable Sufferings.
Durgaashtami & DurgaNavami
During navarathri celebrations Goddess Durga is worshipped on Ashtami & Navami andhence these 2 days are called as above.
Why Inauspicious ?
It is because of astrological & astronomical factors that these 2 days are deemed as in auspicious.. According to our scriptures, the days are numbered according to the state of the moon. "Prathamai" is the first day after full moon day or a new moon day(Prathama means one in sanskrit) 'Dvithiyai" This is the second day. 'Truthiyai is the 3rd Day and so on.Thus Ashtami & Navami are the 8th & 9th days after the full/new moon day.The number 8 is associated with Saturn which is a planet with "tamasic" qualities. The number 9 is associated with Mars, a Ferocious planet. Hence these days are considered inauspicious to men and not to Gods.

There fore the Hindu Vedic Astrology, discourages the important functions like marriage,upanayanam, ear boring ceremony, seemandham,Grihapravesham,registration of properties etc, etc. on these days
