Heavy rain and dark clouds on Basant Panchami
On 23 January, on Basant Panchami, heavy rain started early in the morning and dark clouds took up residence in the sky. However, the Meteorological Department (IMD) had already issued a rain alert (Weather Report) for January 23. It is raining heavily in Delhi-NCR and surrounding places on Friday. There is also a possibility of storm and lightning. On one hand people are facing problems due to rain, on the other hand it is also being linked with auspicious and inauspicious signs.
Rain is not just a seasonal phenomenon, there is a deeper meaning hidden in it.
The festival of Basant Panchami is dedicated to Mother Saraswati. Besides, it is also linked with the arrival of Rituraj spring. On this auspicious day, everyone worships knowledge, wisdom, art and new consciousness and takes blessings. But when it rains on the day of Basant Panchami, many problems arise. Along with this, a question also comes to mind that rain on a holy day is not an auspicious or inauspicious sign. Let us tell you that from the point of view of religion and astrology, rain is not just a seasonal phenomenon, but it is considered a special sign.
What indications in the scriptures
According to the scriptures, rain on the beginning of spring is an indicator of prosperity. It is believed that if there is light and calm rain on Basant Panchami, it is auspicious and Mother Saraswati showers blessings. Such rain increases the flow of knowledge, wisdom and positive energy.
According to astrologer Anish Vyas, on the day of Basant Panchami, the Moon is in Pisces, which is mostly considered auspicious. The lord of Pisces is Jupiter and the rains under the influence of Jupiter are associated with the strength of knowledge, religion and moral values. But if the influence of Rahu-Ketu or Saturn is strong and there is heavy or unusual rain, then it is considered a sign of change in the weather cycle and natural imbalance in the future.
