Spiritual Significance of Gudhipadva
 

    The significance of the subtle yama, surya, prajapati and sanyukta frequencies is as follows:

The prajapati frequencies cause an increase in the fertility of the soil, development of intellect, appearance of new springs in wells, an increase in the phlegm (kapha) humour in the body, etc.
The yama frequencies result in rainfall, sprouting of plants, conception in women, proper development of the fetus in the uterus, an increase in the wind (vata) humour in the body, etc.
The surya frequencies result in burning of plants due to rise in temperature of the soil, development of skin diseases, decrease in productivity of the soil, an increase in the bile (pitta) humour in the body, etc.
The sanyukta frequencies are a combination of the three – prajapati, surya and yama. Those with a higher proportion of prajapati frequencies are referred to as prajapati sanyukta frequencies. The surya sanyukta and yama sanyukta frequencies are produced in a similar way.

   The proportion of the three subtle components (trigunas) in the frequencies reaching the earth is given in the below table.
