Tithis &Nakshatra Lords:Bhavishya Puarana
 
By

(Submitted inMarch 2008)strology is a Shastra & while learning a Shastra a true learner reads andremembers the subject as per textual references so that when he wishes torefer back to it or pass on that knowledge to others he does so with textualreference. Apart from this, in order to avoid personal injunctions and personaltheories to creep into astrology one needs to stick to the classics & authorities. It isgenerally observed in the net world that we students of astrology & even modernday scholars are not aware of the rich knowledge the Puranas have in terms of astrological knowledge and it is for these readers we have from the start broughtout the astrological & remedial scriptural knowledge contained in the Puranasoften ignored. Some modern day astrologers pass this as parampara or secretknowledge but all this is available in texts if one searches for it. Below are specificremedies the village astrologers in India have used from time immemorial knowingits true significance whereas the city breed astrologers ignore it due to lack of parampara. Until now, this has not been revealed in the net world hence it isdeemed fit that it occupies space inthe E Mag ‐ Saptarishis Astrology Magazine forthe benefit of all.
Bhavishya Purana Chapter 102
 
Sumantu Muni (Sages are also addressed as “Muni”) said:‐ O King! Lord Surya(the Sun God) likes all the tithis but Saptami (the 7
th
day of the lunar month) is itsfavorite.Shatanik inquired: When lord Surya like all the tithis then why charities, Yagnasdone on the Saptami are specifically significant.Sumantu Muni said: O King! In the past, Lord Vishnu has inquired on this subjectto Lord Brahma, which I now recite to you in the same way as said by LordBrahma. Please listen…..Lord Brahma Said: O Vishnu! At the time of division of constellations, Pratipada(1
st
day of the lunar month) and other tithis were given to Agni (Fire God) andother Gods respectively and Saptami was given to the Sun God. Whoever was

given the tithis became the lords of the respective tithis. Therefore, when suchlords are worshiped on their day with mantras they give desired results.The Sun God distributed the Tithis in the following manner.Pratipada (1
st
day of the lunar month) to Agni (the Fire God)Dwithiya (2
nd
day of the lunar month) to Brahma (the Creator)Tritiya (3
rd
day of the lunar month) to Kuber (the God ofWealth)Chaturthi (4
th
day of the lunar month) to GaneshaPanchami (5
th
day of the lunar month) to Nagaraj (King of the Snakes)Shashti (6
th
day of the lunar month) to Kartikeya (the warrior god, also brother of lord Ganesha)Saptami (7
th
day of the lunar month) for Self (Sun God)Ashtami (8
th
day of the lunar month) to Rudra(Lord Shiva)Navami (9
th
day of the lunar month) to Durga (Universal Mother)Dashami (10
th
day of the lunar month) to his own son, YamaEkadashi (11
th
day of the lunar month) to Vishwadev (lord of the world)Dwadashi (12
th
day of the lunar month) to VishnuTrayodashi (13
th
day of the lunar month) to KamadevChaturdashi (14
th
day of the lunar month) to ShivaPoornima (15
th
day of the lunar month, full moon) to Moon;And to the Spirits, the pure and pious Amavasya (15
th
day of the lunar month, newmoon).The 15
th
tithis are of Moon. In Krishna Paksha (Waning Moon), the Gods immersethemselves in these tithis and they rise again in the Waxing phase from the 16
th
day onward.However, there is a phase called “shodash” (16th) which is never destroyed. TheSun God stays in that phase.This way the enlarging and diminishing of the tithis are managed by Sun goditself, so the Sun God is the lord of all the tithis.Now I tell you in brief how other gods fulfill the wishes of their worshipers.

Worshiping Fire god on Pratipada followed by Havan (The ritual consisting of prayers, chanting, offerings, etc.)gives unlimited grains and wealth.Worshiping Brahma on the Dwitiya and feeding the celibate Brahmin makes theperson expert in all kinds of learning’s.
