Why the worship of Mother Goddess is usually done in month of Ashaadam (AAdi).

The month of Aadi or Ashaadam is treated as most pious and precious times of
worshipping Mother Goddess. Worship during this period has roots in both Vedic
worship and
also in Tutelary shaktheya worship. Being at midst of the entire year this month is
related with wide range of changes in the environent which may have both good and
bad effects on the humanity. It is believed that during this month Sun enters
karkaataka rasi and is said to be called as Dakshinaayana Sun as he rises towards
South
East directon. As per Hindu scriptures it is believed that utharaayana is when Lord
Vishnu wakes from the sleep and Dakshinaayana is when he goes into sleep. Due to
this it is believed that Dakshinaayana is the time for darkness or Demonic forces
to Previal. These may be in the form of adverse effects in evironment or Spread of
dreadful diseases across the length and breadth of the Globe. So counter act such
forces many festivals and spiritual celebrations like Sharad navarathri Ganesh
Navarathri
Diwali etc.. are held during this period.

Nature undergoes drastic changes suddenly when sun earths from Uttharaayana to
Dakshinaayana. Temperatures of earth suddenly falls from hectic summner heat. It is
time
for rains to commence and make this earth cool. It is also the time for cyclones
and developing of disease causing germs and mosquitoes. Due to all these factors
nature
or environment forsee many changes .It becomes very difficult for human beings to
get accustomed to these changes. Scientifically sun rays are very low in the months
of
dakshinayanam. This lowers immunity and digestive power in humans. That is the
reason these traditions and rituals came in the form of fasting, meditation and
divine worship
towards god. These rituals will raise up immunity power in the body. As a method of
defence these rituals are brought to a common platform under the name of worship.

Coming to the worship of Mother goddess our vedas praised nature as Feminine
character. As we care for nature it will care for us so to appease nature for
overturning
Nature, Goddess Nature is worshipped in many forms at the starting of this
Dakshinaayana and rituals of other Gods continues. Forces like Water
element(Ganga)Fire,(Goddess Kali),

Neem,Amla water forces like River and seas under the name of Ganga,Worshipping
Termite Mounds as Earth
under the name of Yellamma etc.. are more prevelant during this period. The
tradition or method and the form of worship varies from place to place. To prevent
many
dreadful and contagious diseases wide range of rituals are introduced in this
worship.
