Vaisakha Suddha Dasami > 11.05.2022
Starting frm Akshaya Thruteeya to Vaisakha Sukla Dasami it is sadhana (Sri Venkatesha) days. During this time it is highly meritorious & result oriented to profusely pray the Supreme God🙏Srinivasa for the welfare/well-being of the individual, family, society, country & humanity+
Today #Shani#Amaavaasya - Solar Eclipse (not visible in India) - Therefore Eclipse related austerities should not be undertaken.
Amaavaasya is Pithru thithi, Pithru DEvatas are abhimaani DEvatas for Amaavaasya. Performing Pithru (Thila) tharpana by those who are eligible is meritorious.
Pithrus will get immensely pleased from Paaraayana of Pavamana Sukta or Pithru sookta on the day of Pithru thithi ie. Amaavaasya.
