Makar Sankranti is one of the most significant days in Hinduism and will be celebrated on January 15 this year. As per Vedic astrology, this occasion is marked when the Sun enters Makar Rashi (Capricorn zodiac sign). On this day, bathing in the Ganga and donating to the poor have a special significance. As per the religious beliefs, the devotees get rid of all their sins after taking a bath in Ganga. An astrologer from Kashi, Pandit Sanjay Upadhyay told News 18 Hindi, that Makar Sankranti is dedicated to Sun God. He said that besides bathing in Ganga and donating, Lord Bhaskar (another name of Lord Shiva) should be worshipped. Sanjay Upadhyay said that water should be offered to Lord Bhaskar as well. This space articulates other tips to get cleansed of all the sins on Makar Sankranti.
1. Taking a bath in the Ganga is highly recommended on the occasion of Makar Sankranti. The astrologer has suggested a solution for those who are not able to take a bath in this river. They can add a few drops of Gangajal to the water kept for bathing purposes. They should then take a bath while chanting Har Har Gange. The results yielded by this type of bathing are equivalent to taking a bath in the Ganga.
2. It is also required for the devotees to donate food products made from jaggery and sesame seeds as well to the poor. These steps ensure that the donors attain riddance from their sins.
3. People should also remember to not insult the poor and needy on this auspicious occasion. This can lead to problems in their lives.
4. One should also consume Til patti and jaggery on Makar Sankranti. This ensures that the devotees attain the blessings of the sun god.
5. People should also go to a temple on this day and worship the Sun God. This helps them to get cleansed from all the sins in their lives.
Ravi Yoga is considered the best time for worshipping the Sun god. As per Tirupati astrologer Dr Krishna Kumar Bhargava, performing the Surya Puja in Ravi Yoga will decrease the problems in your life.
