February 5: A day of spiritual significance
February 5 holds immense spiritual significance in Hindu tradition, as it marks the observance of Magh Ashtami and Bhishma Ashtami—both deeply rooted in religious and historical beliefs.
Magh Ashtami: A day for devotion and holy dip
Magh Ashtami, observed on the eighth day of the Hindu month of Magh, is considered an auspicious time for spiritual activities. Devotees engage in holy dips at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj, almsgiving, and meditation. This sacred day also coincides with Gupt Navratri, a period dedicated to intense spiritual practices and devotion.
Bhishma Ashtami: Remembering a Mahabharata legend
February 5 also marks Bhishma Ashtami, a day associated with the revered warrior Bhishma Pitamah from the Mahabharata. According to legend, Bhishma, lying on his bed of arrows, chose to leave the mortal world only after the Sun transitioned into Uttarayan and Shukla Paksha, aligning with his boon of choosing the time of his death.
