Holashtak Spiritual Benefits: Often people get scared on hearing the name of Holashtak that it is just an inauspicious time, but in reality this period is very important for spiritual progress and self-purification. Even though auspicious activities like marriage, house warming and mundan are stopped during these eight days starting from 25th February in the year 2026, performing some tasks from religious point of view is considered very fruitful. According to the scriptures, when the intensity of the planets increases, the effect of mantras and meditation also increases manifold. If you use this time properly, you can find solutions to many problems in your life. Let us know what work you should do during this special time of Holashtak.
Due to unfavorable position of planets during Holashtak, mental restlessness may increase, to control which mantra chanting is the best solution. At this time, worshiping your presiding deity and mentally reciting his mantras provides peace and stability to the mind. Especially the worship of Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva is considered very fruitful during these days. If you want to perform the ritual of any particular Siddha Mantra, then these eight days prove to be very effective for that. Devotion done with ease of mind not only removes negative energy but also infuses new positivity within you.
It is described in the scriptures that donations made during Holashtak provide more virtue than on normal days. At this time, donating grains, clothes, sesame seeds or jaggery to the needy helps in reducing the inauspicious effects of the planets. If there is any planetary defect in your horoscope, then donating items related to it during these eight days gives special benefits. Feeding animals and birds and serving cows is also considered very auspicious during this period. It is important to have selflessness and kindness in mind while donating, because only the work done without ego reaches God.
Buying a new house is prohibited during Holashtak, but purifying the existing house is very beneficial. During these eight days, camphor and Google incense should be burnt in the house every evening, which will eliminate the negative energy of the day. Sprinkling Ganga water and lighting a lamp of pure ghee at the main entrance keeps the atmosphere of the house pure. Apart from this, reciting Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta or Vishnu Sahasranama during Holashtak maintains cordial relations and happiness and peace among the family members. With these small efforts, you can convert the influence of planets into a protective shield, which can bring new enthusiasm in your life after Holi.
