Why is Kharmas not auspicious? When does it start happening in December? Know what to do and what not to do.

Kharmas 2024: According to mythological texts, auspicious work is not done during Kharmas. But worship, donation and shopping can be done. There are also auspicious times for shopping and donations can be made to needy people every day as per one’s devotion.

On December 15, at 10:19 pm, the Sun will exit Scorpio and enter Jupiter’s zodiac sign Sagittarius. After this, Kharmas will end as soon as the Sun enters Capricorn on 14th January. In such a situation, auspicious work cannot be done during this one month.

During these days, there is a tradition of chanting mantras, donating, taking river bath and visiting pilgrimages. Because of this tradition, a large number of people come to take bath in all the holy rivers during Kharmas days. Also, the number of devotees increases in temples of mythological importance.

Kharmas comes twice a year

Once in a year, the Sun enters the Sagittarius and Pisces signs of Jupiter. In this way Kharmas lasts twice a year. The Sun remains in the signs of Jupiter twice a year for a month each. These include Sagittarius from 15th December to 14th January and Pisces from 15th March to 15th April, hence in these 2 months, when there is a conjunction of Sun and Jupiter, no auspicious work is done.

Seasonal changes are caused by the sun

The seasons change due to the change in the zodiac sign of the Sun. Hemant season prevails during Kharmas. As soon as the Sun enters Sagittarius, the days become shorter and the nights become longer. At the same time, the weather also starts changing. Due to the arrival of Sun in the zodiac sign of Jupiter, there are sudden unwanted changes in the weather. Therefore, many times there are clouds, fog, rain and snowfall during Kharmas.

Kharmas is in astrology book

Jupiter is the lord of Sagittarius and Pisces. When Sun appears in these zodiac signs, Kharmas Dosha occurs. In the book named Jyotish Tatva Vivek, it is said that if Jupiter is in the Sun’s sign and the Sun remains in the Jupiter’s sign, then that period is called Gurvaditya. Which is considered prohibited for all auspicious works.

Recite Bhagwat Katha in Kharmas

• Recite Shri Ram Katha, Bhagwat Katha, Shiv Purana in Kharmas.
• Recite the scriptures every day as per your time.
• Try to complete the recitation of at least one book in this month.
• By doing this, along with religious benefits, you also get the means to live a happy life.
• If we implement the sutras mentioned in the scriptures in our lives, all the problems can be solved.

Importance of donation in Kharmas

Donating in Kharmas gives the same virtuous results as taking a pilgrimage. In this month, the fasts done selflessly to come closer to God get eternal results and all the sins of the person observing the fast are eliminated. During this time, it is important to serve the needy people, saints and the suffering.

Along with donations in Kharmas, there is also a provision for Shraddha and chanting of mantras. Offer worship material to any temple near your house. Pooja materials like kumkum, ghee, oil, abeer, gulal, necklace-flowers, lamp, incense sticks etc.

Why are there no auspicious times in Kharmas?

Surya is the only visible deity and one of the Panchadevas. At the beginning of any auspicious work, Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, Goddess Durga and Sun God are worshipped. When Sun remains in the service of its Jupiter, the power of this planet reduces. Besides, the strength of Jupiter also reduces due to Sun. Due to the weak position of these two planets, it is advised not to perform auspicious activities. If Sun and Jupiter are in a good position at the time of marriage, then the chances of the marriage being successful are quite high.

do sun worship

Sun should be worshiped daily in Kharmas. Wake up early in the morning and after bath, offer water to the Sun from a copper pot. Kumkum, flowers and rice should also be added to the water. Surya Mantra: Om Suryay Namah, chant the mantra.

Kharmas will end on Makar Sankranti

Khar month starting from 15th December 2024 will be on 14th January in the first month of 2025. According to the Panchang, when the Sun moves from Sagittarius to Capricorn then Makar Sankranti will occur. Khar month ends as soon as it starts. On January 14, the Sun will enter Capricorn. With this the month of Khar will end.

Myth: Donkeys pulled the chariot, hence Kharmas happened.

According to the mythology, Lord Suryadev continuously revolves around the universe riding on a chariot drawn by seven horses. Sun God is not allowed to stop anywhere, but the horses attached to the chariot get tired due to continuous walking. Seeing this condition of the horses, Suryadev’s heart was moved and he took the horses to the bank of the pond, but then he realized that if the chariot stops, disaster will happen. There were two banks near the pond.

According to the belief, Suryadev left the horses there to drink water and rest and harnessed the donkeys to the chariot. Due to the struggle of the donkeys in pulling the chariot of Suryadev, the speed of the chariot became light and somehow Suryadev completed the cycle of one month. After the horses rested, Surya’s chariot again returned to its speed. In this way this sequence continues every year. This is the reason why Kharmas is celebrated every year.
