The Spiritual Mystery of Week Days

The Spiritual Mystery of Week Days

B.K. Bhagwan, Shantivan

The memorial of divine duties performed by God Shiva at this Confluence Age is observed in the form of various festivals, cultural carnivals, fasts, rituals etc. Behind every festival, fast, ritual, some spiritual mystery is hidden. If we first understand the spiritual mystery and then conduct and perform deeds, this will lead us towards self progress. Through this article, the spiritual mystery of week days has been explained:

1.       Monday: As per Hindu mythology, Monday is considered to be the day of Supreme Soul God Shiva’s day. The week begins with this very day. At the end of Kaliyuga, when there is darkness of ignorance in the world; at such a time God Shiva’s reincarnation takes places in the body of His corporeal medium, whom He renames as Prajapita Brahma. Through the lotus mouth of Prajapita Brahma, He feeds us nectar of knowledge (called Somras in Hindi), i.e. the world creator bestows on us – the knowledge of beginning, middle and end of the creator and creation. Who am I? Who is my spiritual father? Where have I come from? The answers of many such questions such as: What is the knowledge of beg; middle and end of the world etc., are called Knowledge or nectar of Knowledge or Somras; thus, called Somvar in Hindi. Thus, Monday is considered to the day of God Shiva.

2.       Tuesday: After the attainment of nectar of Knowledge or Godly Knowledge, one gets answers to all the questions and there is auspicious (Mangal) communion (Milan) with God. This very fact is very well explained in the verse ‘Soul and Supreme Soul remained separated for a long while; it pave the way of a beautiful communion when Satguru has been attained as agent.’ Through the communion with God, one attains supreme bliss and the life becomes grateful. That is why it is called Mangalvar in Hindi, and this day is said to belong to the day of auspicious Lord (Mangalam Bhagwan), i.e. Vishnu (the combined form of Shri Lakshmi and Shri Narayan). In Confluence Age, God Himself sustains as a sustainer. And one enjoys auspicious communion with God, every moment.

3.       Wednesday: After Godly communion, the power which one attains broadens one’s intellect. The feelings of fortunate souls who commune with God become spiritual feelings. The bodily vision comes to an end and by drinking the nectar of knowledge and having communion with God, one becomes a knowledgeable soul. That is why Wednesday is said to be the day of goddess of knowledge – Saraswati.

4.       Thursday: After drinking the nectar of knowledge and having communion with God, one’s intellect gets broadened; thus, Satguru becomes happy with such a soul. With the attainments of many blessings from Satguru, impossible tasks become possible. Then, it becomes easy to inculcate any teaching taught by God. Since God’s blissful hands are with one, one becomes successful in all fields.

5.       Friday: After Satguru becomes happy with the souls, they get real joy. All such souls feel contented. Therefore, Friday is said to be the day of Santoshi Maa (Mother of Contentment) and all such souls say from the heart, “We have attained what we had to; nothing has remained unattained.”

6.       Saturday: When one feels super-sensuous joy through Godly communion, which is attained by few lucky souls in this world, the material, splendour, relations of this world as well as the momentary or sensual pleasures from vices such as lust, greed, attachment, ego etc. seem to be pale. Consequently, these lucky souls are liberated from the vices, i.e. Saturn and they attain power from Godly communion. Thus, these souls become courageous or brave, i.e. Mahaveers; that is why Saturday is said to be the day of Mahaveer.

7.       Sunday: After getting liberation from all the vices, the souls attain liberation, i.e. they are liberated from the cycle of birth and death in this world for some time. The souls go back to their original Home, i.e. Incorporeal World or Soul World. In other words, they are off this world. That is why Sunday is an off day or holiday. Through the truthful knowledge of God, God’s communion and blessings, the souls become holy. Thus, they attain the inheritance of liberation and fruition from God.

Thus, on the basis of memorable duties performed by God at this Confluence Age, the memorial is observed as all the 7-week days. Every day is in sequence, ego. Monday is followed by Tuesday; Wednesday is followed by Tuesday and so on. After drinking the nectar of knowledge from God, there is auspicious communion with Him and thereafter, the intellect gets broadened, then Satguru feels happy with those souls and the heart says “Thanks” to Him, which is called Shukriya in Hindi, thus, the day is called Shukravar, i.e. Friday. Then, being liberated from the eclipse of Saturn or Shani, i.e. vices, all the souls go back to their original sweet silence home and then again descend on this world in various epochs such as Satyuga, Tretayuga, Dwaparyuga and Kaliyuga.

Presently, God Shiva Himself is feeding the nectar of Knowledge through which the souls will be liberated from the eclipse of Saturn (Shani), i.e. because now Sunday is about to come. In other words, from this old world we souls have to return to our Sweet Silence Home. Incorporeal God Shiva Himself is performing the greatest task of feeding nectar of knowledge to human souls of the entire world so as to liberate them from the vices.
