On 07 May 2016, we have the second lunar month of
Vaishakha, which is considered a Holy Month for the Eternians. Like the
Vrischika Punya Masa, the month of Sidereal Scorpio, Vaishakha is full of
esoteric significance. Vaishakha is the Lunar Month, when the Solar Ingress into
Scorpio takes place, Vaishakhe Vrisha Sankranti. Guruvayur, the fourth largest
pilgrim center in the world, becomes full of pilgrims.
The Baisakhi Festival, the beginning of the Punjabi
Calendar bears close resemblance to Vaisakha. Also the Vaikaasi, the second
lunar month in the Tamil Calendar. It is called Pohela Boisakh in Bengal and
Bohag Bihu in Assam.
