Bhagwan
Shree Ramdevji Maharaj spread, the Principles and Practice
of Nijya Dharma also called Maha Dharma or Bij Dharma during
the Moghul Rule, in many parts of India.
For the followers of Maha Dharma, the orbit of the moon
represents the cycle of a life form, from its birth right
upto its death. Bij or the Second of each month is of great
importance. They celebrate this special stage when the moon
is in its second day which in astronomical terms is regarded
as the day after. The moon will appear as depicted in any
photograph of Bhagwan Shiv.
Shukla Paksha (Sudi) is the process of Bij transforming
into the Full Moon. Krishna Paksha (Vadi) is the vice-versa,
that is, the Full Moon turning into Bij and then into Amavasya
(Amaas) which is the disappearance of the moon. Ashadhi
Bij is supposed to be the most important day for Maha Dharma
followers.
This leads one to demonstrate,
in the form of a table, the Tithis important to the Jati-Sati
(Male-Female) of the Bij Dharma, which can be called Maha
Dharma Tithi Patra.
