Gudi Padva (also written as Padwa) signifies the start of the new luni-solar year and is celebrated as a new year in many parts of India. It also signifies the start of Chaitra Navaratri, the nine nights special celebration of our dear mother Goddess- Shakti (more known in her forms of Durga and Kali). 
​
It comes after the last new moon of the luni-solar calendar which occurs with both Sun and Moon in Pisces. Then on the following day of pratipada (i.e., first day of shukla paksha, or waxing moon), Sun enters the sign of Aries and marks the beginning of first month, Chaitra of the new Hindu calendar year.

As Sun enters the sidereal zodiac of Aries, it gains much strength in its sign of exaltation. Such a powerful transition of Sun brings an influx of energy and vitality to earth and all its inhabitants. It brings such cosmic delights into our lives!

The day of Gudi Padva is typically celebrated with lot of fun and fanfare… Oil bath and eating neem leaves are believed to be some of the must-do rituals on this day. This day is also celebrated as Samvatsara Padvo as well as Ugadi (or Yugadi) in different parts of India.

It is important to note that Gudi Padva is one of the three and half days of auspicious (shubh) muhurtas as per the Vedic considerations. Because of this, if one wants to do any auspicious work on this day then it is not as imperative to consider special muhurta (time of action) considerations. Ofcourse one can choose to do their work during the Abhijeet muhurta of the day, to make it an even more auspicious time to commence their endeavors!

    Vedic Culture, which   is the culture of the original Himalayan Masters,    is one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.  It is a tradition which has given mankind several treasures such Yoga, Meditation, Conscious-Living and Vedic Sciences such as Ayurveda, Vedic Physics & Vedic Mathematics.

    It was always a scientific culture that understood the very mechanics and workings of this Universe. Their deities, their gods and goddesses were all a way of expressing and explaining these energies and their inter-working. Modern Quantum Mechanics is just starting to understand string theory, dark matter etc. which have all been fundamental to the Vedic understanding. Because of this, they developed ways and methods which allowed one to best tap into life-energy itself.

    Vedic Culture, as it was practiced by the Himalayan Masters, was always a "way of life" and not a religion.

    Their basic view was that, there is only ONE Supreme God-head (God as our creator) and each one of us can find our path to it- experience union with that divinity (Yoga) in their own way.

    Because of this, anyone with any religious affiliations and beliefs can still benefit from their knowledgeable ways of Vedic Wisdom.

    Our attempt here is to present this ancient wisdom in a modern light, so our readers can interpret the true, essential meaning more easily and then extrapolate it to their own specific scenarios and enhance the quality of their life and being-ness.
