🌌 What is Daiva Savarni Manvadi?

Daiva Savarni Manvadi marks the beginning day of the reign of Daiva Savarni Manu, one of the 14 Manus who govern different cycles of cosmic time known as Manvantaras.

In Hindu cosmology:

  • One Manvantara = rule of one Manu
  • Each Manvantara governs creation, preservation, and moral order (Dharma)
  • Manvadi Tithi commemorates the start of that Manvantara

🧠 Who is Daiva Savarni Manu?

Daiva Savarni Manu is the 8th Manu, succeeding Vaivasvata Manu (the current Manu).

According to scriptures:

  • He is the son of Surya (Sun God)
  • His Manvantara symbolizes divine governance and righteousness
  • It is believed that worship on his Manvadi grants long-term spiritual merit

🕉️ Religious & Spiritual Significance

Manvadi days are considered:

  • Extremely auspicious
  • Equal in merit to Yuga beginnings
  • Ideal for daan (charity), japa, and Pitru karma

Daiva Savarni Manvadi on Amavasya becomes even more powerful because:

  • Amavasya is linked to ancestral realms
  • Cosmic energies are in a state of renewal
  • Karmic cycles can be consciously reset
