This year's Karma Rishi Stars & Water
The sacred bathing week of Karma Rishi commences on September 9th, Saturday, at 01:48 a.m and will continue till September 15th, Friday. So Blessed Rainy Day already began and Happy Blessed Rainy Day!

During this celestial event, Rishi's presence in the sky amplifies the Moon's power, transforming water into a potent elixir that wards off illness and fosters good health. The water, imbued with eight remarkable qualities, becomes nectar when consumed: it is cool, pleasantly flavored, light, soft, clear, odorless, and gentle on the throat and stomach.

According to Tibetan Astro-text, water during this period purifies and engaging in water-related activities can alleviate disease and negative karma. Similarly, Tibetan medical texts affirm that Karma Rishi's week bestows water with qualities of purity, clarity, softness, and fragrance elimination, akin to the elixir of amrita.

Therefore, regular bathing, cleansing, and medicinal preparations during this time hold immense benefits, as water's potency peaks. It aids in healing ailments, maintaining fitness, and purging impurities.

Wishing everyone a joyful week of Karma Rishi!, Blessed Rainy Day.
