This episode explores the significance of each day of the week in Hinduism and the associated deities and rituals. From worshiping the Sun on Sundays for health and wisdom to seeking the blessings of Goddess Durga or Mahalakshmi on Fridays for love and creativity, each day has a unique value. Through this exploration, we learn to understand the logical connections behind these traditions and appreciate our cultural heritage's imagination and depth. This journey can help us progress spiritually and materially towards our goals.Bibliography:Sharma, P. C. (2008). The Hindu way of life. Lotus Press.Knott, K. (1998).
