The Tamil month of Aadi (July 17th - August 16th) is a vibrant time dedicated to the powerful and multifaceted energy of Shakti, the Divine Feminine.
Imagine a wellspring of creation, protection, and wisdom - that's the essence of Aadi.
Traditionally, this is a time to honor the Goddess in her many forms, each with unique blessings to offer.
Here's how you can celebrate Aadi:
Connect with the Goddess:
Temple Visits:
Throughout Aadi, temples dedicated to various forms of the Goddess, like Durga and Parvati, see a surge in devotees.
Visit a temple near you to offer prayers and participate in special pujas (rituals).
Friday Deities:
Fridays in Aadi are particularly auspicious.
Each week, a specific form of the Goddess is honored, such as Mokshadharini for liberation or Vyasa Draupadi for success.
Learn about the specific Goddess for each Friday and perform simple pujas at home or visit a temple dedicated to that form.
Embrace the Spirit of Aadi:
Aadi Perukku:
This special day falls on the 18th of Aadi and celebrates the arrival of the monsoon season.
It's a time to express gratitude for water and fertility.
People visit rivers and lakes, offering prayers and making offerings.
Fasting and Simplicity:
Some devotees choose to observe a partial fast during Aadi, focusing on vegetarian meals.
This practice promotes introspection and connects them to the spirit of the festival.
Art and Decorations:
Homes and temples are often adorned with vibrant kolams (decorative floor patterns) and mango leaves, reflecting the celebratory spirit of Aadi.
Aadi is a time for inner transformation and seeking blessings from the Divine Feminine.
By participating in these traditions and connecting with the Goddess, you can invite her powerful energy into your life.
Here are Aadi month wishes:
