Namaste,

We are in the last 2 weeks of Adhik Maas also known as Purushottam Maas. Adhik means more, extra. Consider this as a leap month, it is added when a lunar month ends before the Sun has moved to a new zodiac sign. It is omitted when the Sun traverses a whole zodiac sign during the course of a lunar month. The Hindu calendar year always has 12 or 13 months. 

Science behind Adhik Maas:  The Moon takes about 27.3 days to make one complete orbit around the earth. The earth orbits around the sun once every 365.2422 days (= earth's orbital speed of 29.79 km per second). The earth and the moon in 27.3 days have moved as a system about 1/12 of the way around the sun. This means that from one full moon to the next full moon, the moon must travel 2.2 extra days before it appears again as a full moon, due to the curve of the earth's orbit around the sun. Ultimately this creates a variance of 10.87 days a year between a lunar year and a solar year. To compensate for this difference, the additional month is added after every 32.5 months on average. It is one of the most accurate methods to adjust the gap between Solar and Lunar Year.
It is advised to do deeds of good Karma as the blessings are supposed to be multiplied when done during Adhik Maas. 

Shubhodaya :  Please use the following link to join us for our morning Mantra recitation and Aarti. Remember to have our Mantra book handy and practice all the mantras at your own pace. Read the translation so that you may get the best effect of the recitation. We will then sing Aarti for the general benefit of our family and community!

Satsangh : 
HTS Balvihar has a deep connection with Swami Pratyagbodhanandaji. He was always eager to come to our Satsangh and share his cheerful insight with our students. His loving guidance will stay with us as we offer our Shraddhanjali at noon. Please use the same link as morning Mantra for Satsangh as well.
 
As a community, we learn together, we understand better, we share and also grieve. It is an important aspect of life of a Balvihar family. It brings us closer and makes us stronger.  Namaste.
