As per Siddha and Ayurveda

Administrating drugs on this day seem very effective in terms of action. Since, Swarna Prasha’s main ingredient is gold it is an auspicious day to buy gold / to prepare / administer the preparations of gold. Some claim that radiation of the medicinal potency is more in gold on this day. that said to be good day to administer any type of medicine.

India was born on a Pushya day. Probably that is why we are the only country to nourishes 1600+ different languages!

Ideally Swarna Prashana should be started from Pushya Nakshatra day and then there after can be given daily early in the morning, but if not possible to give daily at least it should be given on consecutive Pushya Nakshatra days which tends to come after every 27 days.

    1. This is due to A1 or genetically modifited milk. You can try A2 or any desi or nati cow’s milk. On other side, why MILK as a main drink? you have lot of other alternative to milk, like coconut milk, drumstick leaf soup, etc.

      1. Dear Admin,
        I woud love to know of other alternatives to the commercially available cows milk and formula milk. My kid knows.the difference if I try to.substitue.milk.with some.other beverage like a soup or rice porridge especially when sick. Doctors would advice against milk and juices at that time.. but the child would cry out for milk. We would feel helpless.at that time.
        We would pray that he goes to sleep and dream feed with thin rice gruel. What would you recommend for a child we sick.

        1. Pushya Nakshatra is considered to be an auspicious Nakshatra. But what if a person takes birth on this Nakshatra. Is it still be an auspicious for that particular person to commence any work ???
