The extra month, or Adhik Mass, is also called Purshottam Maas. This is a month added to the Hindu calendar so that the Lunar calendar and the Solar calendar will match up. Every 3 years, one extra month duration is added to the Lunar Calendar. This is done to make the Solar Calendar and the Lunar Calendar match. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

There are no festivities observed during Adhik Maas, commonly known as the Mal Maas, or unlucky month. In the Lunar Calendar, one god is in charge of each month. When sages figured out this extra month, no god or goddess was ready to claim it. Lord Vishnu was asked, and he agreed right away that this extra month should be named after him. This is why it is also called Purshottam Maas.<\/span><\/p>

While no new or particularly good deeds are undertaken during this month, several religious observances are held to appease Lord Vishnu.<\/span><\/p>

The Vedic Purana says that our souls are made of water, air, earth, fire, and the sky. Meditation and Yoga help bring these parts of the body back into balance. Performing religious rituals for a whole month has been shown to purify the soul and fortify the body. Adhik Month, which occurs every three years, is a time of cleansing and revitalization. Kundali Dosha is also said to be fixed if you keep doing it religiously for a month.<\/span><\/p>

People are supposed to get rid of all their bad actions during this month by focusing on self-appraisal, self-cleansing, self-evaluation, reflection, and soul-cleansing. To make up for your sins during Mal Maas, you should give to charity, help the poor, and feed animals. People should go without eating and pray to Lord Vishnu.<\/span><\/p>

Homas and yajna are done by people. Aside from this, Svadhyaya, or the study of religious texts on one’s own, is done. This month is a good time to read the Shrimad Bhagwad Puran or Shri Vishnu Puran. People do a lot of religious things during this month, which makes it a very spiritual time. This leads to purity and change in people’s lives for the better.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
