October 13, 2025

Spiritual Thought of the Day
“True devotion is not in ritual alone, but in the love that protects, the patience that endures, and the faith that transforms.”

Day Significance
Monday, 13 October 2025, holds deep spiritual meaning as devotees celebrate both Ahoi Ashtami Vrat and Kalashtami.
Ahoi Ashtami is observed by mothers praying for their children’s long life and happiness, symbolizing unconditional love and protection. Kalashtami, devoted to Lord Shiva (Kalabhairava), signifies overcoming inner darkness through self-discipline and meditation.

The day begins under Krishna Paksha Saptami, transitioning to Ashtami at 12:24 PM, while the Ardra Nakshatra moves into Punarvasu around noon — marking renewal and emotional clarity. The presence of Shiva Yoga throughout the day enhances the auspiciousness for prayer, fasting, and spiritual cleansing.
