January 13th 2019 - Bhanu Sapthami and Makara Sankranthi

This auspicious day marks the confluence of three things - Surya emerging on seven horse drawn carriage ( Sapthami), on a Sunday (Bhanu) and transitioning the ecliptic to move to the Northern Hemisphere. As a result, this magnifies the intensity of the energy transimitted in the Northern continents.

Rudra is the enery borne out f Surya and following Surya Namaskara with Roudric chants culminates the effect of both energies.
