My mother tells me that I shouldn't shave on Saturday or Tuesday, and she said that they were special days for Hanuman. Although, I would like to know more, how can shaving be considered a bad thing?
Usually, my friends and I like to enjoy some mild alcoholic drinks on Saturday nights. I know alcohol is bad, but should it be especially be avoided on days like Saturday?
Thanks.

I'm not sure if our members are just lazy or unable to perform basic searches. I didnt provide a specific site since I'm trying to show you how easy it is and also because of the variety of answers. https://www.google.tt/search?q=hindu...hrome&ie=UTF-8
Hi Bigdreamer,
I am also a little bit confused with all the Hindu rituals and practices so I understand your dilemma. From what I have heard, Tuesday is a bad day to start anything new or do a big thing. I know lots of people who do not eat meat on Saturday. I think there is probably a bunch of things that you are not supposed to do on those two days. For example, I read somewhere that you should not wash hair on Saturday. I am also confused about the reason. Hopefully, some more experienced member can help us out.

Vannakkam: There is no absolute bad, and I don't think one should put a ton of time into thinking along these lines, but that's just my POV. If it's convenient to get a haircut on some other day, than fine. An example might be if you get a new job, and the employer says 'Start Tuesday' I don't think you should not accept the job.
So perhaps a phrase like 'less conducive towards auspiciousness' is better than bad. I don't think anybody should be staying is bed for fear its a 'bad' day.

A lot of old folks I know would fast on Saturday, if that is the case, my old man gave me that as a reason, not to cut hair when fasting. Perhaps that is why it got set in stone. Could be other reasons.
I know a lot of people fast for the month of Sravan and not cut the hair, that is why they would have grown a beard.
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
It would be lazy IF it helped me answer all the questions asked in my post.Originally Posted by Shanti29
