In the Sanatan tradition, Kharmas, also known as Malmas, is considered a highly sacred and important month. This year, it will begin on December 15, 2024, and last until January 14, 2025. During this period, religious activities hold special significance, while auspicious ceremonies are postponed. This month is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, and worshiping Him, along with performing acts of charity, is of great importance.
Kharmas is referred to as the month of purity and service. The good deeds and charity done during this time not only bring happiness and prosperity to our lives but also purify our souls. According to scriptures, helping the needy and distressed during this period is considered the highest form of righteousness. Donations made with a pure heart during it’s pave the way for receiving the blessings of Lord Vishnu and Surya Dev (the Sun God).
It occurs twice a year when Surya Dev transits into the zodiac signs of Pisces or Sagittarius. This time, starting from December 15, he will transit into Sagittarius, marking the beginning of this month. On January 14, during Makar Sankranti, he will enter Capricorn. Special prayers and worship of Surya Dev and Lord Vishnu during this period bring progress in all aspects of life. If the Sun is weak in your horoscope, worshiping he and making donations during this time offer significant benefits.
Religious scriptures state that donations made with a pure heart during Kharmas yield eternal rewards. Particularly during this time, offering food to Brahmins, differently-abled individuals, the poor, and needy children, and helping them, is a great act of virtue.
Those who donate during this holy month not only experience prosperity but also see all their desires fulfilled.
