Mool and New Moon Dates for 2021 (The most inauspicious days for a baby to be born in) In these days many expecting mothers have a C-Section birth and thus I would advise you to consult your family priest or a competent astrologer to have a look at the dates that your doctor has given you for the birth of your baby child. And this avoids so many future complications. If your baby was born in MOOL due to circumstances beyond your control then the father depends of which Nakshatras (see below) cannot see his child for a period of 27 days. On the 28th day the MOOL-SHANTI puja is performed by the family priest. WHAT ARE THE 6 NAKSHATRAS? (Sanskrit meaning Asterism/star, lunar mansion). A nakshatra is one of 27 sectors along the ecliptic. Their names are related to the most prominent asterisms in the respective sectors. There are 12 Rashis each comprising 30 degrees. So 12 Rashis forms the circle of 360 degrees. There is 27 Nakshatras in this 360 degree circle. So each Nakshatra spans about 13.3333 degrees. A Nakshatra is further divided into Pada/quarters. So there is 4 padas for each Nakshatra (given below). Nakshatras have their lords. In Vedic astrology, from the Nakshatra the child is born in, the initials of the new born child is worked from, thus it is very essential to consult an astrologer or a priest who knows astrology to check if the child was born in an auspicious time or not and to choose a suitable name for the child. If a child is born in an ªinauspiciousº time it can cause the death of the child and can even wipe out an entire family. By inauspicious time I mean when a child is born in an evil nakshatra (star), for example if a child is born in the 1st pada (quarter) of Ashwini, the child may not survive, or if the child is born in the 4th pada of Ashlesha the lives of the parents may be danger and so forth. From experience I know many people cast aside astrology and say it's not necessary and it©s just nonsense. But when something happens to them or their family then they want to blame God, when certain events could have been avoided. Please understand these are not mere rituals rather they are very essential for the person©s/child's benefit.
