Akaasha deepa
Keep AAkaasha deepa for departed souls(to light their way; meaning when we engage in the devotional service, we have satisfied our departed ancestors and now they can freely reach their ultimate destination without worrying about us.)
Amaavaasya: (Oct 20) kuja vasare chitra naxatre
Deepavali; Gopuja(worship cows; a drop of urine of cow is taken)
Kartik Maasa Shukla Pratipada (Oct 21) bhuda vasare swati naxatre
New year Mahavira shaka 2525 and Vikrama shaka 2055 begins
baliindra puja(The day when Bali Chakravarti was sent to nether worlds; He had usurped the kingdom of Indra; Lord came as vamana and with two measures of his tiny foot, he covered earth and healvens. The third was used on Bali's head to relieve him of all that he had gained.
(meaning; we are bali; we aggrandize; in order to reach god, we have to let go all that we have and become disposseed).
since it is a new year the puja for new books and 'angadi'(business) puja is also done on this day; some do dhanalaxmi puja on this day.
In today's world for most of us, we have to choose a day like sunday to have these functions when you can do all the pujas on the same day.
