Angaaraka Chathurthi Ganesh Pooja - Feb/27/2ØØ1
The fourth
thithi
of each moon phase
is known as Chathurthi.
Chathur = four.
24 to 25 Chathurthis occur each year.
The Chathurthi thithi is particularly ideal for worshipping Lord Ganesh.
While we must start every daily pooja by worshipping Lord Ganesh, at least
on every Chathurthi we should perform elaborate pooja, the homam fire ceremony
and anna dhaanam (poor feeding) in His honor.
When the Chathurthi thithi occurs on a Tuesday, it's known as Angaaraka Chathurthi
in recognition of Sri Angaaraka, the Vaara devata for Tuesday who performed special pooja for Lord Ganesh.
On Feb/27/2ØØ1, Chathurthi occurs on a Tuesday (1905 hours Feb/26 IST to 2002 hours Feb/27 IST).
Hence Feb/27/2ØØ1 is Angaaraka Chathurthi Ganesh pooja day.
For details on how to celebrate Angaaraka Chathurthi, please refer to the
February 2ØØ1 issue of Sri Agasthia Vijayam, the Ashram monthly magazine.
