The lunar month is subdivided into two fortnights called <em>vadi</em> and <em>sudi</em> by Hindus. In the former, the half moon wanes, while in the latter, it waxes. The full moon day and night is called <em>puranmaashi</em>. </p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p> In Hindu belief, these two days, i.e., <em>masya</em> and <em>puranmaashi</em>, are very auspicious. Hindus visit holy places, give offerings to idols in temples and take a dip in ponds and holy rivers, such as the Ganges, Yamuna and Godavari. </p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p> Gurbani teaches us that all these so-called "special" times - <em>vadi</em> and <em>sudi</em>, <em>masya</em> and <em>puranmaashi </em>- do not have any importance or significance whatsoever for Sikhs. </p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p> So I was wondering, "Are we Sikhs still blindly following age-old Hindu rituals, very contrary to <em>Gurmat</em> principles - the same rituals that our Gurus rejected outright as being no more than superstitions?
