Significance

This Summer Solstice is called Dakshinayana (meaning travel towards the South direction) in Vedic scriptures. This is a significant phase in the life of a sadhaka. Our Vedic knowledge is highly based on our relationship and energy chord with the planet and its position in the cosmos. Keeping this as the core understanding, Dakshinayana is called Sadhanapaadha and its extensively utilised for various spiritual Sadhanas. Sadhanapaadha means time to strengthen or work; it fosters a conducive environment for any new seed to sprout. Spiritually, it is a time to set goals and plans for the upcoming year. A good time to examine, weigh in good and bad in us. Forgive and let go of our bad past, also an ideal time to make changes within or commence the inward journey. This period where the Sun is moving South shows certain effect on human system and is very different than the northern run. Many Yogic practices, meditations and rituals are designed to utilise this energy to its best. Various cultures in counties like Canada, Iran and Malaysia celebrate this onset of Summer or Summer Solstice.
