Every year there is a time in summer when the heat is at its peak, which is known as ‘Nautapa’. This is the time when the Sun transits in the Rohini Nakshatra, and its rays on the earth fall straight, which increases the temperature significantly. This year Nautapa will start from 25 May till June 8 (although the main Tapan period is of the first nine days). Meteorologists believe that if there is no good rains before the start of Nautapa, then there may be severe and scorching heat during this period.
This time, after 80 years, the most heat will be done!
According to astrologers, this time the Nautapa can be the most hot in the last about 80 years. This is being said because both the king and minister of this Samvatsar (Hindu calendar year) are Sun God. Due to this astrological coincidence, the first nine days of Nautapa have a strong possibility of the most and intense heat. Surya Dev’s entry into the Rohini Nakshatra will be at 3.15 am on May 25, and with this Nautapa will begin. Its main Tapan period will end on June 3.
The scorching heat in Nautapa signal indication of good monsoon
An ancient belief is that the more and the hot heat occurs during Nautapa, the better the monsoon is as good and vigor. It is also called the ‘pregnancy’ of the monsoon, that is, the heat formed at this time lays the foundation of good rain. Jyotishacharya says that this time the Sun’s entry into Rohini Nakshatra will be on May 25 at 3:15 am, and with this Nautapa will begin on June 3.
Suryadev will stay in Rohini Nakshatra till 8 June
Suryadev will remain in the Rohini Nakshatra till 8 June, but the most impact of Nautapa is seen in the first nine days. After June 8, the Sun God will enter the Mrigashira Nakshatra. According to astrology, when the Sun God enters the Rohini Nakshatra, they are closest to the Earth. For this reason, their rays fall on the earth with straight and more intensity, which increases the temperature of the earth significantly and the outbreak of scorching heat is seen.
Worship and precautions of God sun
Worshiping Lord Surya during these nine days of Nautapa and taking some special precautions can not only avoid the outbreak of heat, but can also increase health and prosperity. According to the prestigious astrologers of Kashi and Lucknow and based on various almanacs, this time after about 80 years, Nautapa is the most likely to heat up.
What is Nautapa?
This time the main period of Nautapa is between 25 May to 2 June (according to some calculations till 3 June). This period of nine days in the months of May and June is called Nautapa (ie the period of Tapan). During this period, the most and scorching heat of the weather is likely to occur. According to the scriptures, when the Sun God enters the Rohini Nakshatra, the beginning of Nautapa is considered from the same time.
