Kharmas: An Inauspicious Period in Hindu Calendar
What is Kharmas?
Kharmas is a period in the Hindu calendar when the Sun transits through Sagittarius (Dhanu) or Pisces (Meena). It is believed that during this time, auspicious activities like marriage, housewarming, and business deals should be avoided. This period occurs twice a year—once in December-January and again in March-April.
Mythological Significance
According to Hindu mythology, the Sun’s chariot is pulled by seven divine horses. However, during Kharmas, these horses become weak and tired, so they are replaced by donkeys (khar in Sanskrit). Since donkeys are considered slow and less powerful, this phase is believed to bring delays and obstacles in important matters.
What Not to Do During Kharmas
1. No Marriages – It is said that marriages conducted in Kharmas lead to unhappiness and struggles.
2. No New Business Ventures – Avoid launching new projects or making large investments.
3. No Property Deals – Buying or selling houses and land is discouraged as it may bring financial losses.
4. No Mundan (Head-Shaving Ceremonies) – Hindus avoid performing the first head-shaving ritual for babies during this time.
What to Do During Kharmas
1. Spiritual Practices – Recite Vishnu Sahasranama, Bhagavad Gita, or perform Rudrabhishek.
2. Charity and Donations – Donating food, clothes, and money to the poor is considered highly beneficial.
3. Fasting and Meditation – Observing fasts and praying for blessings helps reduce negative effects.
4. Self-Improvement – This is a good time to plan and prepare for future projects rather than starting them.
