Adhik Maas – Dos and Don’t

1/n
In my previous article (give link) I wrote about #AdhikMaas, now let us discuss a few things that you should do and a few things that you must avoid. The basic rule of Adhik Maas is, that there are no set rituals to follow in this month

2/n
and whatever you will do, will return you thousand times more, good or bad depending upon your actions and intentions.This year Adhik Maas will start from #September 18, 2020, and will be in effect till October 16, 2020.
There are four important tasks to be done, they are;

3/n
Fasting, donation, holy bath and chanting of mantra including #meditation.
Important: Perform these only if your health permits. Consult your doctor if you are unsure.

Dos during the month:
• Your actions and intentions should be pure.
• Adhere to a better daily routine.

4/n
Wake up early. Daily chanting of Sri Krishna or Vishnu Mahamantra is very beneficial.
• Meditate to nurture your soul.
• Keep celibacy in this month and if possible, sleep on the
floor.
• Bath daily in #BrahmMuhurt, that is, before sunrise.
• Holy bath is very beneficial

5/n
in this month due to increased cosmic energy. If not possible daily, you should have a minimum of three holy baths in this month.
• Eat on a leaf plate, if possible then by sitting on the floor.
• Eat satvik food only. If your health permits, eat only once a day.

6/n
• Keep your mind and thoughts peaceful. Learn to forgive.
• Ask for forgiveness during your daily prayer.
• Offer water and prayers to Tulsi (basil) plant.
• If possible, go to temple daily.
• Light ghee Diya in front of Radha-Krishna or Shri Hari
Vishnu. Also offer

7/n

Tulsi, Lotus and roses.
• God sees your intention. Do prayers willingly.
• Reading #BhagwadGita is very beneficial, especially Brahma’s prayer to Shri Krishna. [10.14.1]
• Read Chapter 15 of Bhagwad Gita for a better future.
• Donate as much as you can. Donation is not

8/n
just about giving money, but anything that you have and someone needs it. It could be your time, affection, service, or money. Donate to temples, brahmins, and gau-sevaks.
• Find the company of religious people.

Don’ts:
• Do not start any auspicious work in this month.

9/n
Marriage, house warming, new business deals are not to be initiated.
• Do not use oil to cook food and if possible, do not rub oil on your body.
• Do not use mustard oil in this month.
• Refrain from the cutting of hairs and nails, if not urgent.

10/n
• Do not eat #nonvegetarian food, do not drink liquor.
• This should be avoided in general, but should be absolutely avoided during #PurushottamMaas; do not speak ill to any devotee, Brahmin, sages, saints, cows and Holy Scriptures. Blasphemy should be avoided.

11/n
• Do not be the cause of pain or grief to anybody.
Be a good person. Find a balance in your mind, body and soul. One month of religious practices will give you benefit for three years.
