From Hanuman Jayanti to Nirjala Ekadashi—5 Auspicious Tuesdays You Can't Afford to Miss
Times Life | May 14, 2025 5:39 AM CST

In the heart of India's sacred calendar, there exists a powerful window of divine energy known as the “5 Big Tuesdays” — five consecutive Tuesdays that begin shortly after Hanuman Jayanti and culminate just before or around Nirjala Ekadashi. For countless devotees across the country, especially in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh, these Tuesdays are not just ordinary days. They are gateways to grace, strength, healing, and spiritual upliftment.

While Tuesdays are generally considered auspicious for worshiping Lord Hanuman, these five specific Tuesdays carry heightened spiritual potency. Rooted in both astrological science and devotional tradition, these days offer a unique opportunity to realign your life path through simple remedies, heartfelt devotion, and conscious action.

What Are the 5 Big Tuesdays?
The term “Bada Mangal” or “Bade Mangalwar” refers to the five significant Tuesdays that follow Hanuman Jayanti, the divine birthday of Lord Hanuman. Typically, they fall during the Hindu lunar months of Vaishakh and Jyeshtha — aligning with May and June in the Gregorian calendar.

This period coincides with:

  • Hanuman Jayanti celebrations (marked by deep reverence and temple rituals).
  • Grishma Ritu – the intense summer season, when solar and fiery planetary energies peak.
According to tradition, on these five Tuesdays:
  • Lord Hanuman is highly receptive to the prayers of devotees.
  • Remedies for planetary doshas, especially Mangal (Mars) afflictions, are most effective.
  • Spiritual acts like donation, fasting, chanting, and offerings carry multiplied effects.
The Astrological Significance – Mars, Hanuman & the Fire Within
In Vedic astrology, Tuesday is ruled by the planet Mars (Mangal) — the planet of:
  • Courage and vitality
  • Discipline and aggression
  • Property and ambition
  • Conflict and warfare
When Mars is afflicted in a person’s horoscope, it can lead to:
  • Marital discord (Mangal Dosh)
  • Blood disorders
  • Legal troubles
  • Anger, impulsiveness, and poor decision-making
However, Lord Hanuman, the embodiment of power and service, is known as the controller of Mars. Worshiping Him during these Tuesdays:
  • Calms the fiery nature of Mars
  • Removes inner and outer obstacles
  • Helps you transform destructive energy into constructive power
These 5 Bada Tuesdays offer an astrological detox – where divine grace can reset your life’s energy field.

Spiritual and Devotional Significance
Beyond astrology, these Tuesdays are spiritually supercharged. Here's why:

1. The Rise of Tapasya (Austerity)Summer is the time when even nature retreats. Rivers shrink, animals hide, and the heat tests one’s endurance. Performing austerities in this environment is considered highly meritorious in the scriptures. These Tuesdays are ideal for:
  • Fasting
  • Chanting
  • Serving others
  • Surrendering ego
2. The Role of Lord Hanuman as SankatmochanHanuman is not just a deity of strength; He is a liberator of crises (Sankatmochan). Devotees pray to Him during Bada Mangal to:
  • Get rid of fears and mental blocks
  • Overcome career stagnation
  • Heal from diseases or depression
  • Find spiritual focus and divine protection
3. Amplification of RemediesWhat you offer during these 5 Tuesdays returns to you with tenfold blessings, according to folklore. It’s not just about the ritual — it’s about the intensity of devotion and the consistency of your faith.
