The Significance of the Intercalary Month

In the intercalary the sun does not travel form one sing of the zodiac to another. Therefore it has been termed as the malmas (unclean month). Since this month was devoid of any lord it was considered inauspicious for worship of gods paternal ancestors etc. and for auspicious undertakings. People there by stared criticizing this month harshly.

Then Lord Sri Krishan said I make it supreme comparable to me. The virtues, glory influence majesty valour, power to grant boon to devotes etc, These all quaites that I posses I hereby grant all of them to this month.

The way I am famous by the name Purshartha because of theses virtues, similarly this Malmas will also be know on this earth by the name of purshartha’ and I myself its lord.

This way Malmas acquired the name purshottan mas.
Lord sri Krishan says whatever pious acts, such as early morning bath (while remembering lord) charities libation to manes and worship of gods etc, are done for may sake in this month become imperishable.

Those who carelessly fritter away the interlay month doomed to a wretched life beset with poverty sin and loss of sons; there is no doubt about it.

Along with ma Lakshmi worship the Eternal Lord (Vishnu) and also Bhisham pitamaha with aromatic sandalwood various flowers sweetmeats oblations incense, lamps etc. One should perform arati with camphor and sandalwood amidst pious sounds of bells drums and conches, it one cannot arrange for all these things one should simply wave the arati lamp lit with a cotton wic. This gives immense religious merits. One should with utmost devotion offer libation of water utmost devotion offer libation of water taken in copper vessel and mixed with sandalwood paste unbroken rice and flowers either early in the morning before the ritual of worship or after it. One should offer the liberation by remembering me along with lord Brahma chanting the following mantra.

O god of gods o supreme lord o creator and destroyer lord Be king to me and accept this libation. O pay obeisance’s to you the self existent lord and you the supremely effulgent lord Brahma o lord infinite Be merciful and with ma Lakshmi shower you grace on me.

One doing vrata of the purshottan month is saved from poverty separation from sons an widowhood. Observance of this vrata destroys all including even that of killing a Brahmin.

Every third year. In the purushottam month one who engages himself with due faith and devotion in the auspicious acts of vratas, fasting worship and other auspicious practices goes along with his entrie family to my (lord sir Krishan’s ) abode to get my Divine Company.

In the month holy endeavors like japa, satsnag listening to the lord’s divine tales chanting the lord name vrata, fasting taking a bath charity worship etc done solely for the sake of the lord yield imperishable merits and eradicate all the misfortune of the misfortunes of the performer there of. This is an extremely as pious period for carrying out ansuhthanas that are done with a spirit of selflessness. As per the devi Bhagacta if one doesn’t have the capacity to donate etc. then rendering selfless service to saints and holy thing to do. This bestows merits equal to that of visiting a place of pilgrimage taking a holy bath etc.

Early morning bath donations performance of austerities religious oervance meritorious vrata worship and japa (repetition of lord name or Guru mantra) is specifically significant.

In this month donation of Lamps fulis ones wishes eradicates misery and sorrow, sustains and promotes the ancestral line takes, one to the company of elevated souls and promotes longevity.
