By worshiping our fore-fathers, we can get the Divine Light easily

Many of the ways shown to us by our elders are to guide us in the same path in which they have already tread.

We worship our predecessors on NEW MOON DAY; for doing anything auspicious new moon day is good, if grains that is collected on a new moon day is exposed to the rays of the sun it will not be affected by insects for a number of days. Also sea water swells on new moon day and we find excess water. 

The reason is on that day all the rays of the sun come and strike the earth as they are. So earth absorbs more energy from the sun on that day.

Human beings will feel that their body is heavier on that day and slackness. This is on account of the heaviness and force of the atoms that come.

When we worship our fore-fathers sincerely on that day we get their grace, thereby overcoming the difficulty in breathing the heavy atoms and we don't feel any slackness.

What is the reason our elders fasting on New moon day?

It is because there is more power in the atoms that we breath on that day and we do not feel hungry as usual.

Our elders knew this and were fasting on that day as a rite. All the things that our elders want to teach us they have done on the basis of bhakti.

This because they thought they can lead the people in a good path through bhakti. All these they have kept in records written in PALM LEAVES.

If we have belief in God we can get the powers from Universe. If we believe that all the words coming from good people as that from God and get their blessing everything that happens will be good.

By praying to our elders and getting their blessings we get the Divine Light through them.
