Uttarayana Dakshinaya and the time to sow and harvest

Uttarayana is time of flowering, #Dakshinayana of striving. Period of striving is when life is in our hands.Time to take charge of one’s life.

Dakshinayana is for purification. Uttarayana is for enlightenment.
So - we need to choose the right seeds and sow them and water them.
After a while they will bear fruits and flowers.
I plan to sow my own seeds this time.
Already I can feel the effect of Dakshinayana on me. I am full of possibilities now.
I feel relieved. I am now going to take the same energy further.


The human body, if brought to a certain level of intensity and sensitivity, is a cosmos by itself. Everything that happens in the external sphere, in a subtle way, manifests in the body. It is happening to everybody, it is just that most people do not notice this. But a more organized and purposeful rearrangement of the human mechanism could be done if one becomes conscious of the external movement and aligns that with the movement that is happening within the human system. If you want this body of flesh and bone to imbibe the nature of the cosmic body, understanding and being in tune with this movement of Uttarayana and Dakshinayana is very essential.

The sadhana pada is always more important because in the process of making anything happen, the most important thing is to do what is in our hands right. What is not in our hands, we only have to wait. Sadhana is something which is in our hands – we can do something about it. It may be a lesser dimension than the other but it doesn’t matter, it is in our hands. It becomes important because we can make it happen.

Watering and putting manure to a plant is important. Flowers will come as a consequence of that. It is not our doing. This is just like that. These six months are the sadhana pada and this time is important because now you can do the right things. If you do the right things, when the time to harvest comes, the right kind of harvest will come.

Also - In terms of doing something, a man is better equipped; in terms of receiving something, always the feminine is better equipped. A little advantage, but this doesn’t mean all women are more receptive than men. The feminine is definitely more receptive than the masculine because the masculine is geared for survival.
There are some areas of life where a man will naturally get a ‘double promotion’. There are certain other areas of life where a woman will get a ‘double promotion’. So the northern run, or Uttarayana, is more favorable to the feminine because it demands receptivity, not work. The southern run demands work so the masculine will dominate.
