Aashadha Month: Inauspiciousness and Spiritual Significance There are many religious and scientific reasons for not doing any auspicious work in Aashadha month. Chikkamagaluru based astrologer Ashwath Narayan Joshi clears all the doubts and questions for Local18 viewers. As per our Hindu calendar, Aashadha month is considered an inauspicious month and no events are organised in this month due to many reasons. Aashadha month is the fourth month of Hindu calendar. It is believed that Lord Yoga goes to sleep during this month, hence on this occasion no auspicious work including marriage, Griha Pravesh or Upanayana is performed during this month, making it inauspicious. Aashadha month starts after the dry spell starts. This time Aashadha month is starting from 6th July as the dry spell of drains has started. Hence, after the start of Aashadha month, all auspicious works like marriage, Griha Pravesh, Upanayana, buying vehicle and land and starting a new business become forbidden. There is also a natural reason behind this spiritual significance of the Ashad month. Many people believe that whatever work the ancestors did, they did it with a sense of inspiration rooted in their cultural and historical background. The beginning of the Ashad month means the beginning of the rainy season. It is also believed that there is more rainfall in the Ashad month. Due to heavy rains, road traffic is also facing a big problem. Hence, due to all these reasons, it is considered inconvenient to do any kind of promising work in the Ashad month. It is also believed that in most auspicious situations, God goes into Yog Nidra. Like Dakshin Nayan, Chaturmas begins here, no auspicious work can be done. It is believed that God can be pleased by doing meditation, devotion and fasting in the Ashad month. Simply put, there is a religious and scientific reason for the Ashad month.
