November 6, 2025, marks a rare and powerful day – Guruvara Krittigai, when the blessings of Lord Murugan and Guru Bhagavan align. This sacred convergence of Krittigai Nakshatra and Thursday (Guru’s day) is believed to cleanse karmic burdens, remove Guru Dosham, and bring abundance in wisdom, prosperity, marriage harmony, and the blessing of children.
On this day, devotees dedicate their prayers to Lord Murugan, the divine son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, who embodies courage, clarity, and victory over ignorance. Performing abhishekam with sandalwood, milk, or honey, lighting ghee lamps, and chanting “Om Saravana Bhava” with pure devotion can bring deep spiritual upliftment.
Wearing yellow attire on Guruvara Krittigai is said to attract the divine energy of Guru Bhagavan and enhance the devotee’s inner light. Offer yellow flowers and fruits such as bananas or chikkus to Lord Murugan to strengthen your prayers.
Three Things to Avoid on Guruvara Krittigai:
- Avoid wearing black clothes, as they absorb negative vibrations and block divine energy.
- Refrain from discarding books, notes, or any items related to learning, as this day is governed by Guru Bhagavan, the planet of knowledge.
- Avoid walking between the Bali Peetam and the sanctum (Moolavar) in Murugan temples, as it is considered disrespectful to the sacred energy flow.
