An Auspicious Time for Meditation

Next week, the time during the new moon will be an auspicious time for mediation. Durga Puja the hindu festival starts with the comming of a new moon on the fourth and lasts ‘till October eleventh. The nine-day period from the new moon day to the ninth day of Ashvina is considered the most auspicious time of the Hindu Calendar and is hence the most celebrated time of the year known as Durga Puja.
Also next week Ramadan the islamic fasting month starts on the fifth and lasts for thirty days.
[2:185] “Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein…”
The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, and months begin when the first crescent of a new moon is sighted. Because the Islamic calendar has no correction for the fact that the lunar year is 11 to 12 days shorter than the solar year, Ramadan (Arabic: ????? ) migrates throughout the seasons.
