The young generation often asks what Kharmas is and what it means. So let us tell you that Kharmas is made up of two words, the first word is ‘Khar’ which is taken as donkey in common colloquial language. Donkey is considered a symbol of laziness and carelessness. ‘Maas’ means month, Kharmas means the period in which energy and auspiciousness decreases, this is the period when the Sun is in Sagittarius and Pisces, this period is about thirty days.
Which zodiac sign is this auspicious for?
Sun’s Dhan Sankranti is especially beneficial for Cancer, Libra, Aquarius and Pisces, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn and is generally auspicious for the remaining zodiac signs. By calculating the rest of the planets along with the Sun, an accurate horoscope is obtained.
Lord Surya, the god of energy, bows before Jupiter in Kharmas.
In Kharmas, as soon as Surya Devguru reaches the house of Jupiter, he gathers his glory, controls his powerful rays and bows down in respect of Surya Devguru Jupiter, due to which all the auspicious works stop for some interval. During Kharmas, a law has been made to worship God by postponing auspicious works.
In Kharmas, daily shopping, regular worship and pacification of inauspicious planets can be completed without any hindrance.
The life-giving energy of the Sun in the sign of Jupiter provides every human being with the opportunity to be spiritually enriched and uplifted, hence charity, bathing and worship of God should be done during Kharmas. To develop auspicious energy in life through spiritual powers, one should worship Lord Surya and Shri Hari Lord Vishnu during Kharmas. Reciting Aditya Hridaya Stotra daily during Kharmas is especially fruitful. In Kharmas, daily shopping, regular worship and pacification of inauspicious planets can be completed without any hindrance.
