Episode notes
Monday's Link To The Lunar Cycle
- The lunar (lunisolar) calendar aligns weeks and days with the moon's cycle, giving Monday specific relevance.
- This alignment made Mondays meaningful for Soma-related worship and temple timing in traditional practice.
Gregorian Calendar Lacks Cosmic Relevance
- Modern Gregorian calendar is a mismatched system with no direct relevance to planetary cycles, according to Sadhguru.
- Traditional lunisolar months and days were used to align temples and rituals with celestial movements.
Temples Built To Match Celestial Flows
- Temples and consecrated lingas were designed with planetary and lunar positions in mind.
- Aligning rituals with celestial flows helped keep body and life processes in tune with cosmic influences.
