Aadi is a month of fervour and observances in Godess related to Water-forces and Natural forces (e.g. MarriAmman temples, Mundakanni amman temples etc.) where prayers and poojas are offered to propitiate the powerful goddesses and seek their protection from the inauspicious aspects that are often associated with the month. The month of Aadi is considered very auspicious to connect oneself to this Divine power. No weddings or other similar functions are celebrated during Aadi as is considered inauspicious. Also, starting this month the heat of the sun reduces and the rains start. It is during this time that the monsoon peaks on the west coast and the rivers of Tamil Nadu, shrunken in the summer heat, get replenished, often to near full levels. Usually the tamil months are named based on the nakshatra that prevails during the full moon day or Pournami. In Chithirai month, full moon day happens during chithirai nakshathiram, in Vaikasi month during Visaka Nakshathiram and similarly in Aadi full moon day happens during Aashada Nakshathiram and thus this month got the name Aash Aadi(in north) / Aadi(in the south). Aadi auspicious days are Aadi Sundays, Aadi Tuesdays (Aadi Chevvai) and Aadi Fridays ( Aadi Velli) are auspicious. The Aadi Velli and Aadi Chevvai are of great significance to women as numerous rituals are performed. Women of the neighborhood and friends meet on the Fridays and do poojas and exchange Thamboolam. Varalakshmi Pooja an important ritual dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi is performed on a Friday in the month of Aadi. Join us for Aadi Pooja ..At Sri Sakthi Ashram Malaysia. Jai Sakthi.
