No ita first time I’m hearing this.

New to me and curious to know the reason behind that

First time hearing this.
We should aware them about the consequences.

No specific reason behind that people used to say that if do any operation on special day it will bring us more diseases. In tamilnadu there are more myths like these they used to believe.

New to me.
But in other states it is accepted or rejected?

I don’t think that would be an issue. I mean what eclipse or full moon days have to do with operating someone.

No first time Hearing this

I’ve never heard of this before. it’s truly concerning how superstitions get in the way of urgent care.

This is new to me!

No this was forst time i am hesring about this.

No , I have never heard about this

Nope.

Yes i have heard this kind of comments/ wishes/ topics many times. i think its INDIA which is full of spiritualism and rituals.

First time I’m hearing this.

its new for me. I an not sure about that. it may or may not be.
I believe medical decision should take under the guidance of specialist.

Yes, I’ve heard of this. In many South Indian, especially Tamil, traditions, people often avoid surgeries on New Year’s Day (either January 1st or Tamil New Year) and on days like Amavasai (new moon) or Pournami (full moon). These days are considered spiritually significant or inauspicious, and undergoing surgery is believed to bring bad luck or poor health throughout the year. Even if the condition is serious, some prefer to postpone unless it’s an emergency.

Never heard of it. But as per the spiritual beliefs within the country, the full moon period has a significant impact on our emotions like during full moon, people who are emotionally sensitive by nature, they feel more of moodiness and emotional fluctuations occur during that time. Also new moon period has some energy intensity to it, in the sky. The lunar cycle does play some role towards our sleep and indirectly on our well-being and few studies have outlined this as well. Maybe because of this energy intensity, people tend to avoid operation or surgery during these times, as our bodies are sensitive during then. This can be one way to look at it.

Yes, I have heard about this many times. People usually don’t visit on such special days like 1st january, Sankranti, Gudi padwa, akshay tritiya, Dipawali, etc. considering that when you visit Dr. on these special days the whole year you suffer with visiting Dr.s and build up with bad energy.

Amavasya idk
But yeah people usually don’t prefer getting surgeries done in 1 day of a new year.
