Thai Poosam is celebrated on February 5, 2023 in India (some observe this on Feb 4, 2023 itself since Poosam nakshatra begins from late morning of Feb 4, 2023 itself, BUT, the ideal day to observe this in India will be February 5, 2023 only since Poosam operates till afternoon of Feb 5, 2023 per drik ganitha considerations, and when a nakshatra operates for two days consecutively, it is ideal to observe certain austerities on the day when the nakshatra is in operation right from sunrise - and Feb 5th satisfies that condition better for those living in India) .
Those living in US, Canada, and other countries in North and South America, and those living in European countries must observe this on Feb 4, 2023 itself.
Those living in Gulf countries also must observe this only Feb 5, 2023.
It is a festival dedicated in Honour of Lord Skanda - the Son of Lord Shiva. It is believed that Lord Skanda received His Holy Lance (Vel) from Goddess Shakti on this day, and put an end to the atrocities of the demon Taarakaasura on this day with the Blessings of His Divine Parents - Lord Shiva and Goddess Shakti.
Float-festival is observed in Madurai Meenaakshi -SundarEshwarar temple on this day; all major Muruga temples celebrate this festival in a grand manner.
Recital of mantras like Kanda Shashti kavacham, Kandar Anubhooti, Kandar Kali Vennbaa, Tirumurugaarruppadai, etc. will be very auspicious on this day. Even if you do not know any of these (these are all powerful Tamil Hymns and obviously persons who don't have Tamil as Mother Tongue may not be comfortable with these), you can recite "Om Skanda GuravE namah" "Om kumaaraaya namah" "Om DhandapaanayE namah" "Om satrusamhaaraaya namah" "Om shakti hastaaya namah" etc. that are His powerful names.
If you have inimical activity in your life and are feeling anxious and insecure, you may try worshipping Lord Skanda (lord Muruga) today. Even Saatwik persons may pray for overcoming enemies.....afterall, our greatest enemies are within ourselves - Fear, Pride, Arrogance, Lust, Illusion, etc.
May our members utilize these spiritually significant days for Divine Contemplation and become recipients of Divine Grace which is our Real Wealth and which will NEVER suffer recessionary trends!
Blessed be.
