Dhanurmasam Commences on 16th Dec at 6.04 AM


Tirumala, 9 Dec. 20: As the auspicious month of Dhanurmasam is commencing from December 16 at 6.04 am onwards, Andal Sri Godai Tiruppavai will be recited in the place of Suprabhatam-the awakening seva of Lord inside Tirumala temple till January 14, 2021.

All the Sri Vaishnavaite temples follow the recitation of Tiruppavai hymns during the entire month and it is also an important month for all spiritual seekers as it is believed as the most sacred period to worship of Lord Vishnu.

According to Hindu scriptures, a day of God is equal to six months (Uttarayana) and a night equal to the remaining months (Dakshinayana) in a human year. Dhanurmasam falls at the end of Dakshinayana. In fact, this month is considered to be auspicious for worship during early hours and this hour is called Brahmamuhurtam. To invoke the blessing of the Lord, Tiruppavai pasurams, with each one on each day for a total thirty days will be recited seeking the prosperity of the universe – devoid of disease, famine or any form of unhappiness.
