So today was a rainy dreary day and I so wished it was sunny, it would be soo nice.. and that made me think how today Sunday is associated with Sun. It also made me think that I want to try and coordinate certain days of the week with certain topics, some stories of the dieties, asanas etc...hopefully I will start that process this week.
But today I thought I would mention that each of the seven days in a week has a special significance and is apportioned to one or more Hindu gods or goddesses
*Sunday is dedicated to Lord Surya (Sun God). Red is the color of the day
*Monday is dedicated to Lord Shiva, associated with the Moon (Chandra)
*Tuesday is dedicated to Lord Ganesha, Durga, Goddess Kali. Associated with Mars (Mangala)
*Wednesday is dedicated to Krishna, associated with the planet Mercury (Budha). Green is the color. The day is highly auspicious for starting new ventures
*Thursday is Guru Day, the planet is Jupiter (Brihaspati)
*Friday is dedicated to Mother Goddess, the planet is Venus (Shukra)
*Saturday is dedicated to Lord Hannuman, the planet is Saturn (Shani)
There are also many different stories associated with each days, fasting rituals, color significances and other observances for special purposes.
