Buying home in Chaturmas: The time of Chaturmas is considered very special and sacred in Hindu religion. Chaturmas is of four months. It is also called Chaumasa. There is a religious belief that at this time Lord Shri Hari Vishnu, the sustainer of the world, goes into Yoga Nidra. During the four months of Chaturmas, God gives up the work of maintaining the world and takes rest, hence this time is also called the sleeping period of the Gods. Chaturmas starts from the day of Devshayani Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha of Ashadha month and ends on Devuthani Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha of Kartik month.
This year Devshayani Ekadashi is on 25th July. That means Chaturmas will start from this day. Then on 20th November, on the day of Devuthani Ekadashi, Lord Vishnu will wake up from yoga nidra and take charge of the world again. Since, during the time of Chaturmas, God is absorbed in Yoga Nidra, hence auspicious works like marriage, engagement, tonsure, naming ceremony, housewarming etc. are prohibited at this time because these works do not yield auspicious results at this time. This is the best time for worship, chanting, meditation etc. So let us know whether a new house can be bought even after entry into the house is prohibited during Chaturmas?
