PRADOSHAM
What is Pradosham?
Pradosham is a specific window of time that occurs during the day. It is believed that the energy during this time makes it easier to dissolve and release karma. Stories, prayers and rituals have been built around this time to help us better work with and understand the significance of these karma busting energies.
Dr. Pillai says that when the world begins to remember Pradosham times and observe its rituals, it is a sign that we are moving out of the Age of Ignorance into the Age of Truth, the Golden Age.
There are three different energy levels to Pradosham depending on which day of the month that it occurs. Each energy level indicates how much karma may be released at that time. Dr. Pillai says all three levels of Pradosham are a gift from the Universe to help speed our evolution and make our lives easier and happier.
When does it occur?
All Pradoshams occur between 1-1/2 hours before and right up until the moment of sunset in the time zone where you are physically. The smaller energy level Pradoshams occur every day during this time.
The middle energy level Pradoshams occur twice each month - on the 13th moon day after the New Moon and after the Full Moon. To determine on which days these Pradoshams occur, begin your count on the actual New Moon or Full Moon day and count that day as "1". Continue the count until you reach "13".
If you are counting from the Full Moon, Pradosham will normally occur two days before the next New Moon, and if you are counting from the New Moon Pradosham will normally occur two days before the next Full Moon.
The larger energy level Pradosham occurs when one of the 13th moon days occurs on a Saturday. Saturn is considered an Archetypal Being of Karma who delivers many of life's tougher lessons to help us refine and evolve their souls. On a Saturday Pradosham it is believed that Shiva has more influence over Saturn and can cause Saturn to loosen or release entirely some of the karmic bonds that limit us.
Our Rituals are usually performed in Chennai, India at the AstroVed Fire Lab Center unless Dr. Pillai directs them to be done at another location. All rituals are performed by highly trained Vedic specialists according to ancient instructions. Rituals are scheduled as per directions from Dr. Pillai's Vedic astrology team in India.
A ritual is a wonderful technology to help one experience a personal inner connection with an Archetypal Being. Within the vortex of the AstroVed Fire Lab Center, qualified Vedic specialists do rituals with precision and proper timing using energized statues to focus the ritual and intensify the prayers. Offerings are made of fresh flowers, incense, a lighted ghee lamp and other items. The specialists recite specialized Vedic quantum sound frequencies appropriate for the particular ritual and say the name and birthstar (if known) of the person(s) the ritual is being performed for. This simple, yet joyful, ritual brings in the immediate presence of the Archetypal Being. Just as rain helps seeds to grow, rituals help increase our receptivity to an Archetypal Being's benefits. Many people schedule rituals regularly to enliven the flow of benefits into their lives.
