Vaara Disha Soolam

Kanuma the next day of Makar Sankrant is believed to be a day on which The Crow starts loosing it's vigor. It gains extreme power & be active during Dakshinayan. Dakshinayan is time of Daityas & Uttaratan of Adityas. ONE SHOULD NOT TRAVEL ON KANUMA

Even a crow also doesn't travel on kanuma. On kanuma people offer Neivedyas and offerings to the Pitrus and suggested that they shouldn't travel long distances and cross their city / Village Borders.

Bengaluru Incident reminds me of our elder's strict instructions to not travel

There are many times in a day, days and horas which people shouldn't use to commence their journeys. 1 should be very careful. Disha sool should be taken care of before leaving for long distances.Each days hora gives diff results

May their Souls reach Vaikunth 🙌🏻🍀🙏🏼 Harihi Om

What is Vaara Disha Shoolam?

This is a principle which decide directions to avoid on each day based on Shiva's Shakti Shoolam when placed on ground.

Avoid travelling on these directions
Sun: W& SW
Mon: E & SE
Tue: N & NW
Wed: N & NE
Thu: S & SE
Fri: W & SW
Sat: E & NE

Some decide based on Planet's Strength for Day ( Grahabalam)

East – Surya/Sukra
West- Shani / Chandra
North – Guru
South – Mangal, Budha

Remedies to perform if one needs to travel. ( This applies to daily life too if we have any imp functions or rituals or leaving for LONG TRAVELS by road etc)

Sun- Eat wheat , Ghee and Gudd
Mon - Curd / Rice
Tue - Masoor Dal / Jaggery
Wed - ilaichi / pista Barfi / Green moong

Thu- Channa / channa Dal / Besan sweets
Fri - Dahi / white sweets/ cashew/ Balck eyes peas
Sat - Urad / Laung( Clove )

The idea of eating the said items and leaving is to strengthen that particular days Ruling Graha to provide us Balam and lead mangalmay journey.

Imp things before leaving for Long distance Road Trips

1. Smashing Lemons under vehicle tyres.
2. Taking blessings if Gramdevta or Any Durga / Bhairav before starting the darshan.
3. Remove negative energies away by breaking a coconut infront if vehicle & place flower & roli.

Vehicle Puja

Every Tueadays without fail one should perform Vaahan puja for preventing akalamrutyu bhaya... and prevent accidents.

One can perform any other day too. , Tuesdays are strong.

Temples to perform - Hanuman, Shakti Ganapati, Bhairav, Durga temples etc.

These are ways one can be maximum careful but not declarations of any occurrences. There are many factors affecting us karmically. To avoid Akaalamrutyu which is a major threat in all lives this is basic adaptation one should have in life for travelling for many major events 🙏🏼

To add on Always recite some Shloka or do Naamsmaran to keep your mind calm while driving.
