A strology is a Shastra & while learning a Shastra a true learner reads and
remembers the subject as per textual references so that when he wishes to
refer back to it or pass on that knowledge to others he does so with textual
reference. Apart from this, in order to avoid personal injunctions and personal
theories to creep into astrology one needs to stick to the classics & authorities. It is
generally observed in the net world that we students of astrology & even modern
day 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 brought
out the astrological & remedial scriptural knowledge contained in the Puranas
often ignored. Some modern day astrologers pass this as parampara or secret
knowledge but all this is available in texts if one searches for it. Below are specific
remedies the village astrologers in India have used from time immemorial knowing
its 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 is
deemed fit that it occupies space in the E Mag ‐ Saptarishis Astrology Magazine for
the benefit of all.
Shatanik inquired: When lord Surya like all the tithis then why charities, Yagnas

Brahma. Please listen…..

given the tithis became the lords of the respective tithis. Therefore, when such
lords are worshiped on their day with mantras they give desired results.
Pratipada (1st day of the lunar month) to Agni (the Fire God)

Chaturthi (4th day of the lunar month) to Ganesha
Panchami (5th day of the lunar month) to Nagaraj (King of the Snakes)
Shashti (6th day of the lunar month) to Kartikeya (the warrior god, also brother of
lord Ganesha)

Poornima (15th day of the lunar month, full moon) to Moon;
And to the Spirits, the pure and pious Amavasya (15th day of the lunar month, new
moon).
The 15th tithis are of Moon. In Krishna Paksha (Waning Moon), the Gods immerse
themselves in these tithis and they rise again in the Waxing phase from the 16th
day onward.
However, there is a phase called “shodash” (16th) which is never destroyed. The
Sun God stays in that phase.
This way the enlarging and diminishing of the tithis are managed by Sun god
itself, 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.
