Pratipad Tithi

and Goddess Kameshwari

I am Kameshwari.
I am the Goddess of Pratipad tithi, first lunar day.
I am the first spark of creative energy starting the lunar cycle.
I am passionate, fiery, impulsive and impatient to reach the fulfilment.
I awake and fulfill all desires.
I make you more aware of your heart’s true desires.
I desire to immerse you in new life experiences.
Whenever there is the first ray of the Moon after Amavasya, this is Kameshwari. Whenever there is the first shadow on the Moon after Purnima this is Kameshwari. She is always the first one to start a new cycle. Kameshwari, the Goddess of Desire.
After the fullness of the Full Moon and the darkness of the New Moon, after some cycle has been completed, it is the influence of Goddess Kameshwari and 1st lunar day (Pratipad tithi), that awakens in us a desire to experience something more, to create something new.

Kameshwari is the friction of the desire emerging on the surface of consciousness, which in its essence is fully satisfied. It is the first inharmonious sound emerging from unison of union between Shiva and Shakti during the New Moon, and the first inharmonious sound descending from the perfect octave of Full Moon. It is like buzzing of a honey-bee, which is looking for nectar. Its very message is: “Something is not full. Something is still to be fulfilled. Something is still to be completed. Some new Love story is yet to be experienced.” Although this very yearning, the very desire itself takes us away from the perfect state of completion and fulfillment, experienced during the New Moon or Full Moon, ultimately, it is also the beginning of our journey towards fulfilling ourselves on yet another level. In immature mind, however, the influence of Goddess Kameshwari can be experienced only on the level of never-ending material desires.

Pratipad tithi, due to its fiery, rajasic nature, is one of the most intense tithis, driven by desire to experience something new and filled with creative, vital powers. Yet, even though it is very stimulating for creative process, its energy is still too intense for any auspicious beginnings. But it is a perfect time to get in touch with our soul’s true desires and understand, what do we really expect from life.

Goddess Kameshwari clarifies our doubts, dispells all confusion and makes us see the truth, so we can make the right decision. With Sun being the planet of Her tithi, She makes visible all that is hidden. She gives form to all that is formless. She brings all secret desires to daylight, in order for us to fulfill them or purify our consciousness out of them. And as our desires define our personality to a very big extent, ultimately She helps us to understand ourselves on a much deeper level and guides us closer and closer to the core of our Soul – if we just allow ourselves to be guided by Her.

Divine and shadow qualities

First lunar day

On first lunar day guna of rajas and fire element combine to create the first stage of waking state of consciousness. It awakens within us new passion, desires, creativity and enthusiasm. Yet, the very same energy, if not harnessed well, can also very easily become too impulsive, impatient or violent or possessive. Be watchful where your desires lead you on that day – and make sure you don’t burn too many things on your way towards personal fulfilment.

Pratipad Tithi In-depth

Discover the secrets of Pratipad tithi in this almost 3 hours long session with several study cases and detailed knowledge of the symbolism and secrets of this lunar day and its deities. Along with the access to course recording you will also receive a chapter from my ebook “Journey with the Moon”, dedicated to Kameshwari, Lunar Goddess of Pratipad tithi, along several charts for self-study.
1. Uncover unknown secrets of Pratipad tithi
I have dedicated a big part of my life to research of the Vedic lunar phases and I can honestly say that you will most likely not find such detailed knowledge on this topic anywhere else. On this course you will learn not only about the superficial symbolism of Pratipad tithi and its presiding Goddess, Kameshwari, but also some of its deep secrets.

2. Understand the spiritual aspect
Spiritual approach to tithis or Vedic lunar phases is what makes my tithi classes unique and very different from others. I have spent a lot of time connecting with the Goddesses of the lunar phases, meditating with them and trying to learn from their wisdom. I have learnt that they teach us a lot about the evolution of our own consciousness. People who resonate with my classes are frequently already on spiritual path or are yoga or meditation practitioners.
3. Learn how to apply your knowledge
I believe that knowledge gains its real value only once we learn how to apply it. It is not enough just to understand, how the tithi functions in theory. You want to be able also to use this knowledge in your everyday life, as well as in your chart readings, too, don’t you? Each session of our classes completes with a detailed analysis of chosen study cases, as well as analyses the influence of each lunar day in our everyday life, activities that it supports and remedies that help us to heal it.

Fragment from "Journey with the Moon" ebook

“Kameshwari, the first Nitya Devi occupying the bottom corner of the mystical triangle, denoting Her fiery nature and fire element She is ruling, is considered also the highest among the lunar Goddesses – the direct manifestation of Goddess Tripurasundari Herself. She represents rising from sleep, the very first stage of the waking state of consciousness, as well as the first rays of the Sun. She is the creative force of the universe in its purest form, with Brahma Himself (the creator and progenitor of mankind) co-ruling Pratipad tithi with Her. She is the one, who brought Manmatha (Cupid) back to the world, after Shiva burned him to ashes – and thus, She had restored fertility and life to the world. Her name means “Goddess of Desire” or “Goddess of Love”. She is the intensity of rajas, guna of passion. Her syllable in Sri Vidya mantra is ka, the mantra of desire and creation, while yogini associated with Her is Kama-karshini, “the one attracting all desires or all love”. Along with Kameshwara (Lord Shiva, Her counterpart), Goddess Kameshwari is creating countless worlds.”
