Why the worship of Mother Goddess is usually done in month of Ashaadam (AAdi).

The month of Aadi or Ashaadam is treated as most pious and precious times of wor
shipping Mother Goddess. Worship during this period has roots in both Vedic wors
hip and
also in Tutelary shaktheya worship. Being at midst of the entire year this month
is related with wide range of changes in the environent which may have both goo
d and
bad effects on the humanity. It is believed that during this month Sun enters ka
rkaataka rasi and is said to be called as Dakshinaayana Sun as he rises towards
South
East directon. As per Hindu scriptures it is believed that utharaayana is when L
ord Vishnu wakes from the sleep and Dakshinaayana is when he goes into sleep. Du
e to
this it is believed that Dakshinaayana is the time for darkness or Demonic force
s to Previal. These may be in the form of adverse effects in evironment or Sprea
d of
dreadful diseases across the length and breadth of the Globe. So counter act suc
h forces many festivals and spiritual celebrations like Sharad navarathri Ganesh
Navarathri
Diwali etc.. are held during this period.
Nature undergoes drastic changes suddenly when sun earths from Uttharaayana to D
akshinaayana. Temperatures of earth suddenly falls from hectic summner heat. It
is time
for rains to commence and make this earth cool. It is also the time for cyclones
and developing of disease causing germs and mosquitoes. Due to all these factor
s nature
or environment forsee many changes .It becomes very difficult for human beings t
o get accustomed to these changes. Scientifically sun rays are very low in the m
onths of
dakshinayanam. This lowers immunity and digestive power in humans. That is the r
eason these traditions and rituals came in the form of fasting, meditation and d
ivine worship
towards god. These rituals will raise up immunity power in the body. As a method
of defence these rituals are brought to a common platform under the name of wor
ship.
